Review:

The MacArthur Family Trilogy ends with a bang. Katie Reus is amazing at giving us stories that revolve around characters that are interesting and always leave us wanting to meet them in person.  I have been looking forward to this story since the first in the series when we got hints that Carson and Sienna were setting sparks off one another.  Sienna attracts trouble as a PI sometimes, but she loves her job and is unwilling to give it up even in order to have a relationship with a man that pulls her in every way.  Carson has wanted Sienna since the first time he set eyes on her and while he let he put up walls between them after their first attempt at a relationship, now that she’s back on his radar there is no way he is letting continue.  Sienna’s home has been broken into and her clients are dropping dead around her so Carson is going to protect her at all costs, but the more time they spend together the harder resisting him is.  Can Sienna overcome her fears and have a chance with the man she is falling in love with or will the choice be out of their hands thanks to a killer?  Carson is such a sexy alpha male, but at the same time he is sweet and loving making him perfectly balanced as a hero to balance the chaotic nature of Sienna.  He is strong and doesn’t need to control or put down a woman in order to feel better about himself, instead lifting her up and making her feel complete. Sienna seems to have a few hang-ups, though we never get the full reasoning of why, and she doesn’t want to take a chance on Carson at first, but the more time they are forced to spend together the less it matters as she gets to know him.  She was strong, frenzied, and intelligent but there are definitely some vulnerabilities that she hides behind until she just can’t anymore.   The heat between Carson and Sienna is undeniable at any moment, but when they let themselves go to embrace it almost burns them (and readers)  up to enjoy it.  I was sad to see the series end and wish their story had been longer but look forward to whatever comes next from Katie Reus for sure.  Your throne as a Queen of Romance is safe with this one, Katie.
