Reviewed by Ashley Merrill

Kira doesn’t remember her past, including who her parents are.  She is now in her twenties and for the past fifteen years has been living her life with her friend and savior, Vincent. She at first does not know how he came into her life except that he is very protective, and from a young age has taught her how to shoot weapons, how to get to an underground hiding place is they ever need it, and made her excel in school.  Kira now owns a multibillion dollar fashion business and Vincent is again, her right hand man.  Who is he really? Does he have more to do with the tragic night that tore her away from her father and caused her memory to go blank and cause her nightly flashbacks and occasional seizures?

Slowly but surely Kira starts to piece together her past. At the same time, Kira is also noticing Vincent more and more; his smell, his body, and the way he looks at her.  Could he want her as much as she is realizing she wants him? One night Kira takes the chance and kisses him, feeling more desire for this man than she has ever known, knowing that he feels the same for her. She tries to push her love for him aside and demand answers about her childhood, knowing that he is hiding something from her.  Vincent finally admits that when she was younger she witnessed her father’s death. Vincent was an operative at the time and he and his superior were involved in trying to save him, but were unsuccessful. Kira’s parents were operatives as well. As is the custom with any survivors that witness the doings of the operatives, they either kill them or surgically alter their minds. Vincent saw the trust in little Kira’s eyes that night and decided from then on out he would protect her with his life. He took her, knowing full well that they would be hunted by The Network forever. They never leave witnesses’ behind.  Now knowing all this, Kira demands to go back to The Network headquarters to find out who her parents are; not understanding the true danger and certain death she would face.

This book is not only action pact, but it is also a sizzling romance. Kira is not only confused about her childhood, but is also blown away by the feelings that she has for Vincent.  I read this book straight through because where was not one appropriate place to stop reading. The story never slowed down, never got boring, and makes you want to pick up her second book and keep on going.  Karen Wiesner writes very fluidly, and gives us detail just where we need it.  This is an excellent book and I hope her other books will follow suit!
