Book Review: Can You Take It?

 

IZEL
I know the FBI’s watching me. He’s watching me. Richard. The profiler who thinks he’s got me figured out.
But he doesn’t know the half of it. He doesn’t know what I've done or the secrets that haunt me.
He says he wants to help, but I’ve learned the hard way—no one really does. Trusting him would be my biggest mistake.
Yet... there’s something about him. Something that makes me want to believe.
But I can’t. Not when my life is built on lies. Not when I’m the one they’re all looking for.

RICHARD
I’m a profiler, and I’ve spent my life reading people, digging into their souls to find the truth they’re desperate to hide.
But my little suspect... she’s a mystery I can’t solve.
She’s hiding something, and I should be focused on uncovering it, but all I can think about is her.
I’m breaking every rule in the book, and the worst part? I don’t give a fuck.
The closer I get to her, the more I realize that I’m risking everything—my career, my sanity, and maybe even my heart.
The only question is, can I take it before it takes me?


My Review

If you like romantic suspense thrillers, then, you will want to check out this book. The romance is not the main factor of this book. It has a plot that is the main storyline. The relationship between Izel and Richard is secondary. I like that it was not the main plot. 

The story I did feel moved at a slower pace than I might have wanted but it is worth it to stick with this book. The last third of the story does pick up. Overall, I did thoroughly enjoy this book. 

There is something that Izel is hiding. It is a big piece of why Izel is under Richard's care. Yet, Izel is not ready for Richard to know her secret. The mystery behind who Izel really is, is slowly revealed throughout the storyline. Richard may be a good profiler, but his judgement gets clouded with Izel. The intimate moments that Richard and Izel shared were steamy. I liked when Izel was sassy when speaking with Richard.
