I just got done reading Stronger, and I really liked how it starts with the relationship of Michael and Emma from Closer. We also got to meet Rob in Closer, he is Micheal's best friend, and was a Green Beret with him in the military. I felt so sad for Rob with the way everything ended in Closer. When I saw that this book was about him, I was both excited and nervous to see how his story was going to unfold.

Once again the guys take a job through Rob's security business. This time they are hired to rescue Lola Sardeson who was kidnapped by a drug cartel known for selling women as sex slaves. They are under a strict time frame and need to find her before its too late and she's sold.

Rob goes under cover and goes to the auction to see if he can find Lola. The first time he sees her, he feels emotions surface that have been gone since he lost his fiance. Rob has been having a hard time with dealing with what he went through in his past so he is so thrown off when his body starts reacting to Lola's presence.

To keep Lola safe, Rob is assigned to protect her because she is still in danger when it comes to the cartel. Seeing that Rob is going to be living with Lola, she uses that to help him over come his past. She can tell that he is dealing with something and wants him to open up to her.

Rob and Lola's relationship starts as friends. Opening up to each other and getting to know each other. However, shortly after, things start to change. Rob wants Lola, but before he is willing to take her as his he wants her to know exactly what she is getting.....



" I have done some pretty bad things. I have done these bad things for good reasons. Some would call me a murderer, some, a torturer and they wouldn't be wrong. I have murdered men; I have tortured men. I have had missions where I have killed so many men in one hour it's impossible for me to know how many. I have done all of this without batting an eye, without guilt. I served five tours in war-torn Afghanistan. I have killed women and children who meant to do me harm; they haunt me every night. You could do much better than me. For God's sake, I'm still in love with my dead fiance. But, if after knowing all of this, you still say you want me, I won't stop this thing between us. Not again. Know that!"



Seeing Rob and Lola's relationship grow was bittersweet! I loved that Rob was able to overcome what he needed to but I still feel sad for his past and how hard it is to let someone new get close to you. There were also some twist and turns that happened in this story as well that have you sitting on the edge of your seat. I was so nervous for Rob at the thought of his past coming back to haunt him. There was a part of the story towards the end that was so sad. It definitely brought tears to my eyes. The decision Rob had to make was heart breaking but I understand what he had to do. I really enjoyed this story, I actually liked Stronger more than Closer, but they were both great books by Sarah Greyson.
