For the first time in his life he understood what it meant to make love to a woman; to feel the essence of another being as it slipped inside him and cradled his aching soul. ~ Grant

As a contract assassin, living with death shouldn't be a problem for Grant Kendal. Bad people do bad things to good people all the time. He was called to take out the trash and move on to the next job. No questions. No regrets. He didn't get paid to care, but now the monster inside has turned its hunger on him, eating him from the inside out. For the first time in his life he doesn't like the emotionless tool he'd become.

REVIEW:

Second Nature is a book that delves into some very horrifying and sad themes including human trafficking, torture and corruption with in the government. 

Thalia, the main character is strong, stubborn and a real fighter, she has been through some of the most terrifying situations but always refuses to let it defeat her. Grant the love interest of the story is a man with a past he is trying to leave behind, but when Thalia comes into his life that becomes extremely hard, as she is apart of the world that he wants to forget. 

The attraction between the two characters was almost immediate and as the story continues their bond only gets stronger, but the secrets that bring them together could also be what tears them apart.

Even though it doesn't take long for the two characters to fall in love, the emotions and memories of both Thalia and Grant are described so well that you see how broken both characters are and how much they needed each other to be able to move forward in their lives. 

With lots of twist and turns this book kept me reading wanting to know what would happen to both the characters and whether or not they would find what they were looking for.
