About this ebook

#1 USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and sizzling Slow Burn series with the fifth book featuring the men and women of Devereaux Security Services.

Raised in a strict religious cult since she was a young girl, Jenna has no connection to the outside world beyond vague flashes of memory that seem to be from another life. Memories she clings to when the cult leaders discover her extraordinary ability to heal—and punish her. Years held captive and forced to do the cult's bidding have turned Jenna into a meek, timid woman…or so they think. In truth, she is merely biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to escape. 

When a terrified young woman tries to steal the SUV of Devereaux Security’s toughest recruit, Isaac’s anger quickly turns into a strange sort of protectiveness for the beautiful, bruised stranger. But when they are caught in a firestorm of bullets and Isaac is hit, he’s sure the end is near, until Jenna touches him and closes his wounds. As he tries to bring Jenna to safety, she refuses to tell him what danger haunts her or how she healed him, but Isaac vows to do whatever it takes to gain her trust…and her heart. Because with just one touch, Isaac knows he wants Jenna to be his—forever.

Ratings and reviews

The first book of Maya Banks I've read that was a disappointment. That doesn't mean I won't continue to buy and read her books. I have two already in hand to start on next. The story would have been okay if it wasn't so repetitive with the same words over and over.

I think I skipped past half of the book because of the teen-like declarations of love and obvious clichés. First book of hers I found disappointing and not worth the purchase.

so badly written. numerous holes in plot and character behaviour. author trying to write about beliefs and situations she can't of researched properly or thought through properly.
