synopsis_thumb2_thumb
Harlow O’Neill is waiting for Javier Montoya to make his move. She has it bad for the gorgeous new investigator at Nightingale Investigations and Security. She’s sure he knows it. She’s also sure he’s just as into her.

And she’s read the Rock Chick books. She knows how those Hottie Squad men are supposed to win their women.

Javi is just not trying to win her.

Then one evening Harlow is undercover on a mission for the Avenging Angels, and Javi blows her cover. She’s not happy about it. They share words and some of the ones Javi uses aren’t all that great.

Harlow retreats. Javi goes on the advance.

And the man Harlow was investigating winds up dead.

The Angels go all in to discover what’s happening with a dating app scam that ended up with a dead guy. The Nightingale men aren’t fans of the women wading in on such a dangerous case, and they’re doing something about it.

It’s a race between the Angels and the Hottie Squad as to who’s going to solve the mystery.

While all of that happens, Javi’s not taking any chances with Harlow’s safety. He moves her into his place and Harlow learns firsthand what it means to be in the romantic crosshairs of a member of the Hottie Squad…and the heartbreaking reasons why Javi kept her at arm’s length.

5 out of 5 stars

This book! I am obsessed! I loved everything about Harlow and Javi. I loved watching them circle each other and come together, and the development as their layers were peeled back. I adore this world and found family, how the Angels and Hottie Squad have each other's backs and the bonds they share. There were so many special relationships and they made my heart feel full. There was drama and emotion and heat… all these stellar moments that made my belly flip. The entertainment value was off the charts! Avenging Angel: Tenderfoot is officially a favorite!

Harlow and Javi were amazing! I loved learning about them and their lives, I hurt for Harlow and the strained relationship she had with her family, and my heart broke for Javi about his upbringing, some of it gutted me. I loved their walls coming down and them connecting and how they were there for one another with the drama coming at them, and the growth they experienced, it was emotion-filled. Harlow was kick-butt in her own right and I loved seeing that strength from her. Together, Javi and Harlow had off-the-charts chemistry with playful flirting and banter that built into an undeniable passion that I couldn’t get enough of. There were so many great moments between them and I felt every single one. Harlow was sunshiny positive that was a ray of light to Javi's dark. He was a totally protective alpha, and I was there for it.

The Angels were the best! I adored getting more of their personalities and seeing potential pairings with the Hottie Squad. I’m eager for what’s to come. I really liked the mission the women were on, finding clues, and going up against the Hottie Squad, who were determined to keep them safe. I loved getting more from Tex, he always brings the goodness that makes me smile. Add in Tito, Shirleen, surprise visits from others, a few new characters, and I was beyond thrilled with everything that was happening. I was excited to see some new Angels and Hotties being introduced. I was ecstatic to see one in particular (Chaos fans are going to be thrilled). It was all awesome!

This is one of those times that real life got in the way of my reading fun and I did not like having to adult. This was seriously entertaining and exciting, and I loved it all. I am madly in love with the Avenging Angels series, but this one holds a special place in my heart! 

Complimentary copy received.
