This is the 4th book in the Sweet series by Maya Banks and it is definitely worth the wait. Micah and Angelinas story is compelling and draws you in. I would sit down to read and didnt want to put the book down.

Both the main characters are strong willed and comfortable within their own skin. Angelina is a strong female lead, which I love. She knows what she wants and goes after it. She is determined to show Micah that it is ok to let his guard down and love again. She was raised by a cop and taught to take care of herself. She proves she knows how to do that when captured by her stalker. Her ability to keep a level head is the only thing that saves her life.

Micah lost everything when David and Hannah were killed in a car wreck. He left Miami and all the reminders of them and fled to Houston. He has a good life and good friends but he doesnt realize what hes missing until Angelina walks back into his life. The first time he sees her she is wearing a mask and he doesnt know its her; she draws him like no other woman has. Throughout the book he fights his attraction and growing love for her, until its almost too late.

I loved the story building up to Micah finally losing his heart. You see how much he is struggling with losing David and Hannah, while leaving Angelina on her own. Hes afraid to let anyone see his vulnerabilities because he is supposed to be the strong one and take care of everyone else.

The suspense of the stalker was a nice added piece to the puzzle. Angelina has dealing with the stalker for a year and thought she had left him behind in Miami but she was wrong. The best surprise was I didnt have a clue of who the stalker was until it was revealed. I like that in a book. It wasnt predictable.

The cast of secondary characters is equally good. They have all appeared in the other books in the Sweet Series. This book can be read as a standalone but if you havent read the others you are definitely going to want to pick them up. I am now waiting anxiously for Conners book.

I loved this book and highly recommend you pick it up when it is released April 6th. I give this book 4 flaming hearts.
