Blurb: One of seven daughters in a line of extraordinary women, Hannah Drake has been the elusive object of affection for Jonas Harrington for as long as the rugged sheriff can remember. If only the stunning supermodel was driven by a passion other than her career. But Jonas isn t the only one with desires for Hannah.

From the shadows has emerged a vengeful figure who stalks the beauty with one terrifying purpose: to strip her of all she is and destroy her. Only one man was destined as her protector. Now, out of a storm of danger, Jonas must guide the woman he loves from a sinister darkness that threatens not only Hannah, but the entire Drake family.

Review: Despite the self pity that goes on in this story, I actually really love this book, especially after the tension between Hannah and Jonas in past books. Usually when a character is all about their looks, it annoys me and makes me not like that character but with Hannah and knowing how her sisters made her feel, it’s expected and I can see her grow into herself.

I feel like there are many paths this book could have taken but the author took the right one here and I love that she didn’t just focus on Hannah, she let the readers know what Jonas was going through as well.

The mystery here is just so subtle that I was so shocked when I first read this and I’m still heartbroken every time I read this when Jonas figures it out.

I love that Illya is featured more in this book, letting the readers get to know him a little better before his story.

The cover could have been a little better, the only time Jonas is on a boat is for his mission. The pace was perfect for the plot, letting the reader really get to go through the healing process with both of them. I can kind of understand why her sisters were acting the way they were but I’m with Hannah, they were annoying.

While the mystery was subtle, the way it was resolved was a little anti-climatic but the ending was beautiful and I had tears in my eyes.

Thank you for reading my review.
