Excerpt: Chapter 1
Arizona Storm has dedicated her life to busting as many human traffickers as humanly possible after her own ordeals with them. What she needs is help, she’s not dumb enough to think she can go about it on her own, so she seeks out Spencer Lark who stole her chance at revenge earlier knowing he’s made for the job, and she knows the way her wife died will fuel his desire to help her… what she doesn’t know is that some of that desire is directed at her.
Spencer doesn’t know what to do with Arizona, the young girl insists on breaking out knives and guns and going after a bunch of sadistic goons with or without his help, and it doesn’t help that he feels for her, and what happened to her, and what he really can’t imagine is why he feels a steadily growing desire to have her and keep her away from other men. So is he going to help her become a decoy and bust apart of the human trafficking ring she’s already scouted, damn trigger-happy girl, or sit on his thumps and… yeah, stupid question.
Foster is phenomenal in writing the sexiest, most entertaining, suspense filled, can’t-put-it-down books. She writes the perfect chemistry, the delicious confusion and the undeniable love that make A Perfect Storm a real 5 star read! Another hard hitting, sizzling hot book, loved it!
Foster is the creator of truly one of a kind alpha heroes and Spencer is one of them, except in this novel so is Arizona! And that is why this book gets so interesting.
After everything that has happened to Arizona, being sold to human-traffickers, being forced to the sex industry, beaten and near drowned she comes out of it, gets skills, gets weaponry and attitude that can’t be beat and actually takes control of her life. She was damaged, but instead of being a victim, she become a survivor, a woman who had to get strong or wither away. Sure she’s bit trigger-happy, pigheaded and at times even violent – but Spencer slowly brings out the calm, kind and caring girl out in her.
Spencer might have killed away Arizona’s only chance at revenge, but he was revenging his own wife, killed by the same goons who held her captive. He feels he owes Arizona, and he tries his best to help her – which is the last thing she wants – and he can’t lie to himself when he begins to feel more for Arizona who he sees as damaged goods he really shouldn’t even go near. But the attraction and sense of protectiveness can’t be suffocated and before soon it begins to crack.
I loved reading about Dare, Jackson and Trace and how much they had adopted Arizona to their family after saving her! I’ve only read Dare’s book so far (Book One) but the interaction they have together is priceless. Tough-as-nails mercenaries with rock hard bodies and good hearts are just what my dream men are made of, a delectable (and umm… lick able) mix of danger, sex appeal and undeniable love… and Spencer fits right in.
