About the book:

Children's clothing designer Mary Wade Kimball's soft spot for animals leads to a hostage situation when she spots a briar- entangled kitten in front of an abandoned house. Beaten, bound, and gagged by the two thugs inside, Mary Wade loses hope for escape when a third villain returns with supplies.
Discovering the kidnapped woman ratchets the complications for undercover agent Brett Davis. Weighing the difference of ruining his three months' investigation against the woman's safety, Brett forsakes his mission and helps her escape, the bent-on-revenge brutes following behind.
When Mary Wade's safety is threatened once more, Brett rescues her again. This time, her personal safety isn't the only thing in jeopardy. Her heart is endangered as well. Learn more and purchase a copy.

MY REVIEW:

My Rating: 2 Stars
Format: Paperback
Source: Provided
I was sent this book in exchange for a review as part of a blog tour.  My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.  
This starts off with a bang, and I thought I was going to devour it.  However; I just could not get into the writing style.  This starts off with a women who is taken off the street.  Within the first conversation with one of the men, she was willing to trust him.  Normally I love fast paced reads, but this moved a little too fast making it not as believable. 
Unfortunately, this was just not for me.
