He is laid baçk, but won't back down when backed in a corner. Even after finishing the book I still picture him in my mind. I like a strong woman lead character. Daisy is that type. She won't back down. She is making it in a man's world. She is strong yet still shows her woman’s side. She knows her limits. She doesn't get clingy with Shaw. She knows what it is between them. Both are believable characters. The Morgan boys you hit dead on. You got me hating them from the start. I mean I was getting angry just reading about them. The storyline was great. I couldn't put it down once I started. It held my interest throughout the whole book. I loved the ending. I hope there are more coming.” Julie Blumke “Just finished your book and it caught me from the first sentence till the last. My favorite type of book deals with mercenaries, and vigilantes which your book touches on. It keeps you on edge as each page is turned. It holds interest throughout the book. I would not change anything. This book will be a big hit. Full of so much action. I didn't want it to end. Should you decide to continue the story of Ben that would be much welcome. I love who Ben really is was never revealed. Kept him a mystery. I can see many more stories following this one featuring Ben. Thank you for such a great book.” Bernie A Harrison
