To give is a virtue. But to give your very self, the ultimate bequest. Offered in love, it can be wondrous. Offered in desperation, it can be deadly.

In Book Two of this three-part epic, young and tempting Kate Simmons at last seemed to have reached a safe haven of happiness when she moved in with Neil, ambitious and persevering, both in his legal practice and his love life. Taking great care to protect his trophy and the surprise he had in mind for Kate, Neil hired security to accompany his soon-to-be fiancée on a scavenger hunt of a lifetime. As Book Three continues their saga, it is life itself that is in the balance when Kate becomes the hunted as the jilted Roger snatches his prey.

The obsessed minds of Neil and Roger now take aim squarely at each other — with a bare and exposed Kate directly in the crossfire. Knowing her very life will be the winner’s spoil, Kate stares agony in its ghastly face as it approaches for the death dance.

There is no time, no place, no safety in a war of fixation. A war in which the winner will be either the last one standing, or the last one to die.

Right from the start I wanted to scream that Roger couldn’t win, he couldn’t kidnap Kate, why did he have to succeed in getting past her security. All the mental and physical trauma he put her through could have broken someone that didn’t think on their feet as well as Kate did. Neil had such good intuition for figuring out how to find them. It was very clear that Roger had the capacity to outmaneuver all the security that had been set up to protect them, even in their own home. The love story between Kate and Neil really was enjoyable to read, their chemistry and how the survive each of the trials they go through together seems to have set a good foundation for how they will handle their marriage. I really thought this book (part 3) was the best written of the series so far. I am definitely going to read Mac and Natalie’s story next.
