Their secrets run deep, but desire runs deeper…
Kennedy Brooks has spent years learning how to protect herself, and empowering other women to do the same. Still, there are some hazards that can’t be predicted. That includes Reyes McKenzie, who owns her local gym. Strong, capable, and watchful, he seems like the one man who might understand her past. For once, Kennedy is tempted to let her guard down—something she’s vowed never to do.
The moment petite, fiercely determined Kennedy walked into his gym, Reyes knew that she carried secrets. What he didn’t expect was that she could tell the same about him. When trouble tracks her down, she turns to Reyes, unleashing a maelstrom of protective instinct and mutual desire. But will her need for him end when the danger does, or will they take the ultimate risk—on each other?

Summary
Stronger Than You Know by Lori Foster was an emotionally charged romantic suspense.
I had not read book one in the series and felt this one read very well on its own. However I do plan to go back and get it.
Kennedy is a survivor and a strong woman that does not make stupid decisions. (Thank you Lori!). Someone is out to get her and she turns to the one man she trusts to take care of her. She has picked up that he has his own secrets and has the ability to protect her.
The author is a master at keeping the main characters central to the story and giving you just enough about the secondary characters that you absolutely must read their stories next. I am anxiously awaiting Madison and Crosby’s story.
The book grabs you from the opening scene until the last.
Trigger. Sexual assault, human trafficking,
Sexual content - some physical scenes, well written
Violence - some current day violence, and understanding what happened to Kennedy in the past.
Language – some profanity and the f word used 38 times.
Drug/alcohol – I don’t remember any drinking
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
