REVIEW
Stop at Nothing was a very fun and exciting book to read. Although there’s human trafficking, murder, and other forms of violence, the Kate SeRine finds a way to still make it all seem to be light-hearted if that’s even possible. That all stems from the overly sarcastic and cocky demeanor of FBI Agent Kyle Dawson. He has a huge chip on his shoulder due to some misguided daddy issues and that just makes it very hard for him to play in the sandbox with others. It doesn’t help that he is a very good agent and comes from a family of law enforcement. Kyle’s father is a sheriff and legend in northern Indiana. Plus, his brothers are also deputies that work for his father. To add insult to injury, the only woman he ever loved, Abby Morrow is also a deputy/digital forensics investigator working for his father.
When Abby gets in trouble, she accidentally calls Kyle for help and he comes running to her aid. Although it’s been 3 years since he moved away and she unexpectedly broke his heart, neither of them have ever moved on or started any other relationships. Kyle soon finds out that Abby’s moonlighting has prompted her to uncover a human trafficking ring that seems to involve her brother-in-law. Abby’s sister gets kidnapped and it seems that the brother-in-law has been killed. In addition, there are a few similarities to a case that Kyle was working while he was in New Orleans prior to his reassignment to northern Indiana. Kyle promises to help Abby get her sister back and keep her safe. They quickly fall back into familiar routines and it’s like he never left. Unfortunately, Abby has a secret that could impact any possibility of them truly having a future together. Plus, Kyle has some family issues that he has to deal with. Oddly enough, all of this chaos is what makes Stop at Nothing so good. One minute, they are dealing with a kidnapping, the next Kyle is fighting with his brother then his father and so on. He’s the youngest so he just doesn’t get the respect he thinks he deserves. And his father is just as stubborn as Kyle is.
The electricity between Abby and Kyle is high voltage. They have some very intense sex that makes it difficult for them to focus on the impending danger. There’s also a contract killer that ends up saving their lives a few times because he happens to like them. Again, Stop at Nothing has a little bit of everything which makes it ripe for at least 3 more books. The Dawson family should be able to supply plenty of material for years to come and I look forward to it.
