On The Edge by Rebecca Deel

Synopsis:

As an ER nurse, Grace Rutledge is no stranger to the aftermath of violence, but she has never been a victim until her car is forced off the road. Determined to put the incident behind her, she focuses on becoming acquainted with the family she never knew existed. But a killer is determined that she won't live long enough to claim her inheritance. When Grace is accused of attempted murder, she fears losing her freedom and her chance at a life with her Navy SEAL.

Fortress operative Trent St. Claire loves his job, but after years of continual deployments, his body is battered and his heart longs for a certain sweet nurse in Otter Creek. After learning of an attack on his girlfriend, the SEAL resolves to shield her from further danger. When the enemy captures Grace, Trent will need every skill in his arsenal to save the woman who means everything to him. This time, however, his combat experience may not be enough to save either of them.

My Review: 5 Stars

Grace Rutledge has been dating Fortress operative, Trent St. Claire, for a year. Between her crazy schedule as an ER nurse and his crazy schedule as an operative, their time together is few and far between. But they have been doing whatever they can to make it work. They have been slowly falling in love with each other and can't see their lives without the other in it. 

After spending the day with her best friend, Grace is headed home to Otter Creek where she is ran off the road. When Trent finds out what happened he decides it's time to take some time off to spend quality time with his girlfriend and get her back on her feet. But when they discover that her apartment has been broken into, they know her accident was more than an accident. It was deliberate and they need to find out who's behind it and why. 

While trying to figure out who would want to hurt her, Grace discovers she has family that she didn't know about. But when her new family is threatened and people are murdered for knowing too much, Trent realizes that Grace could be next. He will need to do everything in his power to keep her safe. He refuses to let anything happen to her. He has plans to make Grace his permanently and together find their HEA.   

So... confession... I could not put this book down! I started it this morning and finished it this afternoon. I may or may not have forgotten to eat. I love it when a book can suck me in and make me forget about reality and life going on around me. Those are the best kinds of books! I have been dying to read Grace and Trent's story and it did not disappoint! I loved Grace's strength and willingness to do anything and everything she could to protect others around her. I also loved Trent's protectiveness of Grace. There were times he knew she needed to do things and he had faith in her and knew she could do it. They make a great couple... completely perfect for each other!

Another home run by Ms. Deel! I can't wait to read the next book!

As for my casting... *dreamy sigh* I am loving these two for Grace and Trent! What do you think?

Content: Mild violence. No swearing. Clean romance... just swoony kisses!
