Zachary Prade has been given a mission. Find the girl, get the bracelet with the embedded file, and get out. This is the assignment he's been given, the assignment he was pulled out of deep cover with the CIA for. The catch is, the girl is Lily Robbins, and she's not just some girl. This girl knows him as Central American drug lord Alejandro Campos, and somehow he has to get her to trust him, as well as fight the attraction he's felt for her since the moment they met.

Lily doesn't get it. She met Alejandro Campos in Central America. She still can't believe she was so attracted to a drug lord. Most of all, she can't understand why she's being followed. Imagine her surprise when in the very early morning someone brakes into her house and she's forced to rely on the one person she knows has no reason to be there, Alejandro Campos.

After escaping from Lily's house and leaving behind the dead body of one of the assassins sent there, Zach knows that she needs answers. He also knows that the assassins at Lily's house won't be the last and he needs to get her someplace safe. Somewhere he knows she'll be protected, and there's only one place he can be sure of.

Zach is going home, all the way home: to Steele Street, the Chop Shop Boys, and what is now Special Defense Force, otherwise known as SDF. The fact that he broke in and stole his old Chop Shop ride didn't hurt. He knew they were already tracking the car. He just needed to get them to help him get the car home, and keep Lily safe until this whole mess was over. He needed Dylan Hart, head of Operations for SDF.

Dylan has been wondering about and trying to keep track of Zach since their Chop Shop days but when you're trying to keep track of someone in the CIA, it gets a little difficult. He doesn't know the entire situation that Zach is in, but the one thing he's completely sure of is that Zach is one of the good guys and if it's important to Zach that Lily stay safe, then it's important to him too.

The challenge is to get Lily to SDF safely, while maintaining control of the bracelet and his heart. The bracelet he can handle. His heart, on the other hand is already long gone. He never imagined he could fall in love in a situation like this. He just hopes that she feels the same.

CUTTING LOOSE is another wonderfully action packed read. I loved the "Crazy" series by Tara Janzen and I was so excited to find out that she was going to continue the story of SDF and those characters into the new "Loose" series. This is a wonderful, fast-paced, exciting read. You'll be pulling for them the whole time, in both love and survival!!
