Author: J.M. Miller
Genre: NA Romance Suspense
Release Date: January 26, 2015
One simple decision can end a future.
One simple persuasion can sever a life.
The moment Annisyn Kane slips her rake pick into the lock of a stranger's door, the straight life she's led the last few years is scratched out. In the past, the goal was never theft. It was to escape. From life. From death. To quiet the dreams that replayed an affliction she longed to forget. This night, though, was different. She was out of options.
The isolated house was supposed to be an easy target. In and out. No problems. But the simple job takes a twisted turn when Annisyn comes face to face with the only real love she ever had.
Five years ago, she could have persuaded Damian Mead to stay. But she wasn't willing to be the end of his future, so she let him go. Before the emotions from their tangled past have a chance to spin between them, Annisyn discovers that their startling encounter is the least of the night's problems. There's someone else in the house who has issues with the past, and the only thing on his mind is revenge.

**RECEIVED THIS BOOK FOR EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW**
ROMANCE SUSPENSE...... THAT'S MY TYPICAL M.O. WHAT I ENJOY, WHAT I CRAVE. This was not 100% Romance suspense, however it was still written well. The story of Annisyn navigating between past and present was flawless. You received the background story in the middle of present day, and to me that's pretty brilliant considering the past was an important piece of the book.
Annisyn,but as we know her in the book Syn, was a broken girl from a young age and was still broke as an adult. A life of bad decisions brings Syn to the present, and what she doesn't expect was to see the little fat boy (as stated in the book) grown to be the man she always wanted.
Damian was the man that stolen her heart, and she wasn't going to be the one responsible for him to not succeed, therefore she took off and took her skills he taught her and lived her life. One bad decision, and 1 break in led her back to Damian 5 years later. Damian never forgave Syn, but the situation that they are in, fighting for their lives might be enough to bring them back together.
I felt that this was more YA vs NA. Even though they did have a few "sex" scenes, this was more toned down than I'm used to. Over all, this was written well, but was looking for more suspense.
"You okay?" Damian shifted beside me, rubbing his arm against mine in the process. The binds at our elbows were now tied together and secured to the lowest wood railing of the stairs.
I wiggled my arms, but there was very little room to move. Looking down at the material connecting our ankles, I wondered if there was another way to get free. "Aside from the headache, yeah. You?"
Damian didn't look at me. His eyes remained forward, staring blankly off toward the kitchen. We were farther from the light, but I could still see each of his features: the eyes that would look at me like I was the only other person alive, the thin nose that would brush my skin whenever he kissed the back of my neck, the plump lower lip that he'd sometimes bite when I dug my fingernails into his back.
He nodded. "I'm fine. Now, are you gonna tell me what you're doing in my house?"
Great. There was no easy way to answer. It was probably best to just say it. "I broke in."
He exhaled a puff of air and shook his head. "Of course you did."
