Having read the prequel to Rick and Nylah’s story I felt right at home with author Lotchie Burton’s first book in The Men of Thorne Enterprises series. After leaving the Marines, Rick Thorne has taken his talents to the private sector. With his best friends and loyal business partners right next to him he’s made a successful enterprise. That is until the woman he’s spent the last three years getting over shows up in his office needing his help.
Nylah James has a lot of guilt and trauma surrounding the kidnapping of her twin sister when they were eight, having never seen or heard from her sister again after that fateful day. So, when she gets a playful text from a friend with a picture of a woman appearing to be her, at a place she’s never been, she feels her only option is to turn to Rick and reopen all the wounds and hurt unresolved over the last three years.
Transporting readers to Pike’s Market in Seattle, author Lotchie Burton draws you in. From the strength and emotion of Rick Thorne to the regret and fear of Nylah James, the chemistry is palpable. “Love Hard, Love Deep” does exactly that, showing readers the deep love these two have for one another despite the hard circumstances of their past and present.
I LOVE the romantic suspense genre; the action and intrigue are there to engage and entertain while there remains a softer side blossoming through via the romance and relationships within. Burton absolutely NAILS this as she keeps your heart racing from the twists and the lust emanating off several of the characters within. Setting readers up for a fantastic rest of the series as we are introduced to several amusing personalities and strong women.
At the heart of “Love Hard, Love Deep” is a the very serious problem of human trafficking running rampant across the world, cocooned within this extraordinary story, showing the measures we’re willing to take for those we love.
