I was glad to get Sam's story. She is a brilliant computer geek extraordinaire. She was kidnapped and tortured in one of the previous books (book 1 if I remember correctly). One night she just wants to feel and meet Max who just sees her. He knows nothing about her or her background. They have a one night stand that turns into more when they see each other a 2nd time. They are thrown together when Max's brother, Quinlan, is kidnapped by a serial. This also happens to be the case Sam and her FBI co-workers are working. Qiunlan's kidnapping is part of a part of kidnapped rich young men and demanding a ransom. And if that ransom is not paid, they are murdered.
I thought this was well plotted and full of suspense/action. I did think Max was an asshole at times. This was one where I had an initial thought of the main baddie and then dismissed it as not likely. I shouldn't have done that! It was interesting b/c it wasn't just 1 person, but a team with 1 primary leader. Good twists.
The couple from the 1st book furthers their relationship in this one (Monica and Luke).
