Outlaw (City of a Thousand Lies Book 1)

An intelligent, well-thought out, heart-punching read! I LOVE this book and cannot wait for more!

Three is a super-soldier (a human enhanced with animal DNA increasing night vision, strength, speed, etc) born in a lab and recaptured. Teirney Jones is the brilliant programmer daughter of the scientists who created Three and his "siblings." She's offered (well, forced into) a job that will take away their will, and she has to accept the position so she can continue caring for her ailing sister while they still mourn the loss of their mother and their Outlaw-turned father.

The chemistry between Three and TJ burns bright from moment one. Three keeps surprising, strategic control of his long-game mission during his captivity, even while kept naked in a bulletproof cage. At first, the shift of his focus to TJ is a game, but it alters into so much more and creates an epic beginning to the trilogy.

Outlaw isn't a stand-alone happy ever after; it's going to be a long road for Three and TJ's HEA, but I'm utterly invested in this journey.

If you enjoy captive but intelligent characters, sci-fi romance, alpha men, amazing side characters, long-haul mysteries, and exceptional, bold character voice, pick up Outlaw immediately.
