5 out of 5 Stars!

        Found (Assassin's Revenge Book 1) is the 1st installment in a new series. It is a great start as well. The main characters have many secrets and have tragic pasts.

      Rachel/Ellie is an assassin and is out for revenge. Ellie was kidnapped 6 years ago and held as a sex slave. Her entire life revolves around getting revenge on the man/master and his guards. She has already a few of the guards, when the story begins. Ellie has been using the identity of Rachel to find and kill Dylan McAllister. She doesn't get close to men and fears intimacy, because all of that she suffered at the hands of Dylan and his men.

Marc/Alexander is a man of mystery. He has money and connections, but also hides behind the identity of a thief. We don't know much about Marc/Alexander. We do know that he has an agenda and seems to be going after Dylan also. Marc meets Rachel in a bar and is instantly drawn to her. Marc plays Truth or Dare with Rachel. He can tell that she is confident and strong, but scared and nervous at the same time. They both know that the other is lying and hiding things. They go back to Marc/Alexander's house to spend the night together. Marc/Alexander calls Ellie/Rachel 'bright star' during their time together.

      After their one night together, Marc/Alexander hopes to see Ellie/Rachel again. He gets her phone number and calls Rachel's phone so she has Marc's number. On her way back home, Ellie/Rachel destroys the phone and cries knowing that she will see Marc/Alexander again. Rachel also realized that Marc could have been her future that she didn't know that she wanted. When Marc/Alexander tries to call Rachel and the number is not in service, he knows that he would have loved to get to know her better. While each two were having their night together, one of Marc's men was killed. He tells the man's pregnant girlfriend that he would take care of her. Marc seems to really care for his men.
Marc/Alexander does see Ellie/Rachel again at the end of the story. Ellie/Rachel is going by Jenny. She is to be auctioned off as a consensual slave, and Marc/Alexander is there with his girlfriend.

      This story does end in a cliffhanger. It leaves you wanting to know what is going to happen next. I have already purchased the next story in the series, Bought (Assassin's Revenge Book 2). I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves erotic romance, suspense and mystery. This is not the first book that I have read by this author, and it will definitely not be my last. I loved the twists and turns of the story. I loved that Marc and Rachel had sizzling chemistry and a hot passion. I really felt for both of the main characters. I wanted to see them grow and find happiness. Call me sappy. I want a HEA for Ellie and Alexander. One of my favorite lines was; "You have to be whole to love."
