Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Sting is an awesome read that deserves more than a 5 star rating. This is the book that will not only keep you up but will make you late for work. Willow has left everything behind and has restarted her life far away from family and friends. She has kept no ties to her past. Ryan has been sent to Perth undercover to investigate a drug cartel. He finds that not only does he have an addiction to the coffee but to the cute little lady that serves the coffee.
Willow has restarted her life and has built a great new family with her best friend Gabs and her little girl. But even with that great friendship, Willow still remains private and doesn’t share her past. Ryan doesn’t like lying to Willow but his job requires it. There are few times when Ryan’s job causes problems. And with Willow not sharing her past, it leaves Ryan in the dark and asking questions.
I couldn’t help feeling a connection to Willow if only that she shared my favorite goto movie, Sweet Home Alabama. She worked hard and then when she didn’t work spent time just chilling out with Josh Lucas. The intensity between Willow and Ryan was great. You could feel for both of them, knowing they couldn’t be totally upfront with each other but at the same time falling fast and hard.
Gabs cracked me up and I was glad to see her referred to as Willow’s sunshine. Gabs is one of those people that no matter what is a true friend and always upbeat. She is there for Willow no matter what. Sting did an excellent job at rounding out even the minor characters.
While it is the fourth in the series, it is a stand-alone and I didn’t need to read the first books to enjoy this one. It was also enjoyable to learn some Australian catch phrases and terms.
