Coffee Time Romance: Rating: 5 Cups
Jade DiMarco, a former runaway since an abuse-filled childhood, volunteers at a shelter for runaways. Her mother, an alcoholic, locked Jade in closets. Jade thought marrying Bryce DiMarco would bring her a fairytale life. Evil lurks within Bryce and will put her in danger.
FBI agent Luke Butler is working undercover, trying to capture the mastermind behind a teenage kidnapping ring that sells girls to Mexican whorehouses. He plays the role of El Lobo to gain information and witnesses DiMarco attempting to murder his wife. Luke vows he will not let Jade die, even if he has to risk his cover.
While bleeding and dying, Jade dreams of a wolf saving her. The FBI denies anyone named El Lobo is involved. Luke is attracted to Jade but knows he cannot tell her the truth. Jade is shocked to discover Bryce’s true identity, but agrees to testify against him. Placed in the Witness Protection Program, Jade begins life in Colorado with a new identity. Luke cannot stay away. Their attraction is undeniable and their union explosive. Jade has been betrayed so many times that when she discovers the truth about Luke, her reaction is shocking. Will Luke gain Jade’s trust? Will they escape Bryce’s wrath?
Ms. Dean has written an explosive story filled with action and adventure. The action will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. You will not be able to put this book down as you turn the pages to an electrifying climax. It will show you that trust must be earned. The right person can make you forget an abusive past and you will have nothing to fear. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I guarantee it will not be my last. I was glued to the pages.

When Jade decides to leave her husband, she goes to retrieve the money she’s worked hard to stash. When she finds it gone, she’s furious. Despite the fact that he’s a controlling jerk, she confronts him about it, only to be shooed away. Things get worse when she decides to search through his office when he’s out of town. Much to her surprise, Bryce returns and after what she hears and what he does to her, her life changes forever.
Luke has been working undercover for the FBI to catch Bryce DiMarco. Unfortunately, the night he’s going to catch him, Bryce’s wife turns out to be hiding in the closet. Not exactly what he’d planned on. When he’s left with the choice of catching DiMarco or saving the woman’s life, he chooses the woman. But now she’s in danger and it’s up to him to help her.
Nothing to Fear was an absolutely fantastic read! I’m hesitant to relate any more of the plot than what I did in my description—the slightest detail can take away the surprise of the different twists and turns the story takes. The characters are perfect—especially Jade. That’s one brave, kick-ass chick right there! It took a little bit for me to warm up to Luke but, trust me, I warmed up to him (if you know what I mean). What a yummy hero. I don’t think I can say enough positive things about this one. Hell, even the villain was perfect!

WOW! This book was awesome! Usually if a book doesn't interest me by the third chapter, it's a dust collector on the ol' book shelf, but this one definately kept the anticipation going. As the pages were turned closer and closer towards the end, I noticed they were flipping faster and faster trying to see what craziness would happen next. Thank you Alicia for writing such a great book. I can't wait to read another one of your writings!
