I am thrilled that this series is set in Arkansas which is a bonus for me. There aren't many romantic suspense books set in my home state and Harbin portrays the state in a way that made it feel like the perfect place for a section of a secret government agency to hide in plain site.
HUNTER is a well paced read with a nice plot twist. Harbin has created a world of suspense and danger populated with sexily rough, controlling, and sometimes aggressive men with a strong drive to protect. Hunter is a patient and sexy hero and although Maya is young, and shows how immature she can be through some of her actions, she is still a very likable heroine. I had no issues reading this as a standalone other than now wanting to read Darkest Sin (The Bang Shift #1) before book 3 is released!
Happy Reading!

Synopsis
After finally getting out of her disastrous relationship, Maya Carmichael has sworn off all bad boys. Sure they’re hot. The attitude? No thanks. But when her car is vandalized while on a night out with her roommate, she realizes her ex is truly sadistic. Her friend insists they lay low for a few days while the
cops do their thing. Unfortunately her temporary haven will throw her in the path of another bad boy. Oh, she’s heard stories about her roommate’s brother, Hunter, and he’s just the type she wants to avoid. Until she sees him … and all good intentions fly out of her busted windshield.
Hunter Anderson might be the easygoing jokester within the Bang Shift crew—the small Arkansas town’s mechanics and the government’s secret mercenaries—but underneath his lighthearted exterior lurks demons of a past he’d love nothing more than to forget. Working on cars and taking the occasional contracted mission help, but he fears nothing will stop his past from coming back to haunt him. No one has tried penetrating the façade to get to the real person below. No one, until Maya.
The attraction is undeniable, but there’s more to Hunter than he can ever let on, and for Maya, this hot distraction makes it easy to forget the real danger she’s in. It has nothing to do with losing her heart to him.
When really it has everything to do with just that.
