The bestselling author of the Killer Instincts novels “knows how to write scorching sexual tension” (USA Today). Now she really sets it on fire in a new series about men and women living on the edge of violence, sex, and life and death.
After a devastating war decimated most of the world, Hudson Lane has only known the oppressive life under her own father’s tyranny. She finally escapes, branding herself an outlaw and hunted by the Enforcers. Her best chance at survival is Connor Mackenzie, an aggressively sensual fugitive who opens her eyes to the wicked possibilities of a world without rules.
As the leader of a band of outlaw fighters, Connor can’t resist the beautiful stranger who asks for his protection. Despite his reservations, he agrees to introduce her to a whole new way of life. But when Connor discovers Hudson’s connection to the enemies of liberty, he wonders how far he can trust the woman who has abandoned all inhibitions to challenge every forbidden desire.

button review

Connor Mackenzie is so sinfully hot. He’s also the leader of his small group of outlaws. They live in a world where they are constantly evading the Enforcers, the group of men trying to rid the world of outlaws and stay in control. If Connor’s group is found, they will be killed. But Connor wants to find one Enforcer in particular. One who he has a personal vendetta against.

Hudson Lane left the city and the protection of the Enforcers. She was born and raised into the society where the outlaws were bad and you never ventured far from home. She’s had it with their ways, though. They never used to kill everyone on the outside, but they have no mercy anymore. Hudson escapes and leaves everyone, including her brother, behind. She can’t let anyone know who he is or else she could be killed, too.

When she finds Connor’s group of men she asks for help and protection. Reluctantly Connor takes her in and thus begins a smoking hot relationship between them. All isn’t well, however. Hudson is being hunted. She needs to be sure to stay hidden and keep who she’s related to a secret.

I really loved this book. The passion, the danger, the way it all played out, it was great. This is the first book I’ve read by Elle Kennedy, and I can easily say it won’t be the last. I can’t wait to read more in this series.
