Hunter Donovan is working hard to readjust to civilian life after years in the military, first with his Delta brothers and then on a darker ops team. He always said he would leave when he no longer felt emotions - and the "hunter" almost waited too long.

He is slowly coming back to life while working at Eagle Security and Investigations (ESI) owned by a former teammate. He notices big changes around Christa, it's too bad his beautiful tattoo artist is a single mom because he doesn't see himself doing well around kids. But when they face danger from her past he is ready to protect. Will his heart finally open up to a future or will that future be torn away from him by a simple mistake?

HUNTER is one of those books that some people say "you can't put it down." I have to agree with that and add you won't want to put it down. The action centering on ESI and the interaction with their families, the camaraderie, and the friendly banter is amazing and very realistic.

The sizzle between the wary Christa and the somewhat robotic Hunter flies off the pages. I say robotic because the military and the shadow ops he was doing tore the feelings right out of him, but Christa seemed to be the only one who could pull him back to humanity. At first, they deny the attraction, then they decide a one-night stand would do, then they realize that there is more to this than a few quickies could handle and began to see one another.

Christa only says her son Dillan's father is dead. But, HUNTER can see the fear in her. She had not known he was part of a dangerous "family," but when she got pregnant and he told her to run and forget him, she found out the truth. Hunter takes it upon himself to find out what he can, but only because of his growing feelings for Christa and her son. Though when he tells her he knows about the boy's family she is scared to death that he had somehow alerted them and they would come after Dillan. The bad guys do show up but it is Hunter's gut that saves them as he knows something is going to go down and the good guys get there just in time.

How the head bad guy is captured will make you laugh, but the words that come out of Hunter's heart will have you tearing up. He declares his love in front of everyone and even mentions Dillan as his and he would like another. Grab your tissues you will need them.

HUNTER will pull you into a hundred different emotional places as you watch a man become human as his feeling come back to life, a woman learns to trust and love and a group of people (men and women) do their best to fight for their homes, family, and friends. A fantastic read that I highly recommend.
