Off the Grid - Kay Marie

Off the Grid

Agent Leo Alvarez is on his way to Hawaii when his partner calls in a favor—the mob is after a pastry chef in NYC, and he's the only one who can get to her in time. With his dreams of Mai Tais and sandy shores ruined, Leo rushes to her rescue. But when he arrives at her apartment, he's greeted by an upturned nose and an icy blue stare. This damsel in distress doesn't need saving. Good thing he's a retired marine who never backs down without a fight.

After a childhood racked by scandal, McKenzie Harper has learned to loathe surprises. So when a strange man knocks on her door, interrupting her morning routine, she has no choice but to politely shut it in his face—no matter how deeply his hazel eyes might pierce. She has places to go, pastries to bake, and promotions to secure. Or she did, until three masked men kidnap her and throw her into the back of a van... Suddenly, that white knight doesn't seem so scary. 

He's a cocky Fed with a killer smile. She's an uptown beauty with a biting tongue. If they want to survive, they'll have to learn to work together—assuming they don't kill each other first. 

My Review

I've read all three books in this series now and I have to say that I think Kay Marie was saving the best until last. Not that I didn't really enjoy the previous books in the series, I did, but this one was even better and I enjoyed the romance between the two main characters immensely. 

This time we had the story of Leo and McKenzie. They both seem themselves as damaged and I think that this was what helped the connection between them grow. I have to admit that I have a bit of a soft spot for romances that start out with a bit of conflict and a love-hate dynamic. Leo and McKenzie take a great deal of pleasure in winding one another up and I really enjoyed that side to their relationship.

This was a great read and a great finish to the series. I loved reading all about each couple, if you haven't read the other books yet, then give them a go. This one does work as a stand-alone novel though, so if you want to dive right in here, go for it. It's a good read and I honestly don't think that you will regret it.
