Great book, but geez - CR writes some really uncomfortable torture/rape scenes. She doesn't go into details exactly, but she puts these depraved thoughts into your head. For me, it sometimes was a bit hard to get back into the romance after one of those scenarios.I did love Gabe. He's always been portrayed as a loner-type, quiet and gruff. But we get to see some of his vulnerability here, especially in terms of his fears. He's not exactly brought to his knees by Skylar, his estranged wife, but he still can't stay away. It was funny to me how he was actually relieved to have a good reason to stay and 'guard' her when the dust finally settled after their big reunion.As with Christy Reece's other LCR books, I really connected with the characters- no one was super annoying, and there were plenty of blips and cameos from the other LCR operatives. Solid read.
