Reece Reed has her fair share of baggage. After an abusive childhood and a less than ideal love life she tends to keep people at arm’s length. When she is hired by the FBI she accepts hesitantly, knowing this will mean fostering relationships with coworkers. As she develops new equipment to investigate crime scenes, she also develops relationships with those around her. she begins to let her walls down and let herself believe she may be able to have a normal life. Just when she starts to think true love may be within her reach, her dark past comes back to haunt her. Will she ever be able to live without looking over her shoulder?
Reed is an inspirational story about overcoming obstacles. It contains crime, romance, drama, action, and snarky sarcastic dialogue. Witty and compelling, if you are looking for a good read, then read Reed.
Reece Reed is strong flawed, protagonist. She was severely abused by the man she thought was her father. She worked hard to get out of the abusive environment to end up in a marriage that was even worse. Then one of her only childhood friends offer her a job with the FBI on a special task force. That is when she meets the man who brings her out of her shell and shows her just how strong she truly is.
If you have read any of my reviews you know how much I hate “insta-love”. You also know I am not really big on reading romance novels. This novel does not have “insta-love” The relationship takes time to build, making it seem more realistic. I laughed out loud and I even cried in a scene or two. I was appalled and even felt proud when Reed made progress in making friends.
A lot of Reed’s past is told in flashbacks. I really do not like flashbacks. The writing was good, a bit choppy in a couple places, but the story is worth sticking it out. This is about coming from less than humble condition and rising above it to have a happy ever after.
