When Cody found Viktoria Mateev, he was thrilled to locate the unfit mother who kidnapped her son. But it didn't take him long to realize she was a wonderful mother. Yes, she had run away with her son, but that was only so that his grandfather couldn't take him to Russia. Instead of arresting her, keeping Viktoria and Gregory safe became his top priority. Rescuing her from assassins was the first of several ways he did this. Viktoria was on the run with her son because she knew of the lies the authorities had been told about her being an unfit mother. Because of the lies, they were required to take him from her, giving custody to her father-in-law. As a mother, she would do anything for her child. Especially keep him from living with his grandfather in Russia where he was the head of a crime family. This book is full of action from attempted kidnapping to attempted murder. The events that kept Viktoria running were scary but with Cody helping her, she was one step ahead of the bad guys. Even though Viktoria didn't trust Cody, she was attracted to him. I liked that these feelings made her realize she was more than just a mother. I liked Cody. When he figured out Viktoria wasn't the woman he was told she was, he let it go and knew he had to protect her. I absolutely felt for these characters.....the fear, the tension, the hold your breath moments and ...the love. If you haven't read Her Rocky Mountain Hero, I encourage you to do so.
