Publisher's Summary

Isabelle West has learned the hard way how hard life can be when fate isn't by your side. For the last two years Isabelle has been slowly clearing the clouds of her past. Happiness is finally on the horizon. She has a thriving business, great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the last hurdle... her ex-husband.

Axel never thought he would look into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn't sure he wanted to now. He's carried his anger for so long he isn't sure he can just turn it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated. How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces? 

Contains mature themes.

great action and lots of suspense

I really enjoyed the storyline in this book.
the trope is a common one, but each telling is different.
Harper has a great writing style and keeps the pace moving nicely. the idea of the back and forth telling gave me a chance to catch up and stretch out the plot.
I did get a bit frustrated that the h kept getting compromised, and the last one I nearly eye rolled.
I also thought that the boys were supposed to be a bit too good to be hoodwinked, and i saw that as a flaw in the story.
the frustration of communication breakdown was a given for the book, but it didn't do much to satisfy my angst.
harper has a great way of pausing her tale with descriptions before she resumed.
lots of reviews paid out big time on Axel. I'm not sure why. In my opinion, he was a typical alpha reaction in a typical possessive way.
great way to end the story and tie things up.
lots of heat. steam. love and crazy actions of a mad man.
love Abbey and Sean, they ste such great narrator's .

Wow

I was captivated with this book from the first word to the last. All the characters play a part in the storyline and not once
