The True Garza (Red Cage Book 3) by S. Ann Cole – Review by Shea Gilkerson

The True Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first time to read by this author but will be back for more! This book offers romance and longing, mystery, hot scenes, dangerous action, great relationship building and offers us flawed, real humans as characters to get in to.

London is one tough woman who can hold her own, but after a series of tragedies in Denver, hiding out in a cabin to give herself a chance to heal, a very hot week with a stranger who gave a fake name and an intervention of sorts from her family – she’s back in LA. As a highly trained and extremely competitive woman in a “man’s world”, London has learned she has to work harder, smarter, and take more risks to prove she is ahead of the game. As she comes back to join her Uncle Walter and brother in the special FBI unit, she finds she is assisting another, even more exclusive, agency in the business of protection. Red Cage is full of giant, imposing, very well trained men and now London is embedded in their business. As she learns about the job she is supposed to be doing, she finds HIM – the man who saved her from herself an entire year ago, while she was in isolation, and whom she hasn’t stopped dreaming about since.

True is “the nice brother” in Red Cage and works with several of his brothers to run the agency. He loves action in the field and women, but he also never forgot the hot stranger he spent a week with 1 year ago. We find that True has ADHD and it both makes him great at what he does, and struggle with relationships. He has spent so long being chased and pursued by any number of women that he doesn’t know how to have a relationship, or how to care about someone beyond his family – but he can’t get London out of his mind.

London and True get under each others skin, so obsessed with one another that they can’t stop what’s happening between them – no matter how hard they both try. I especially love that this book has flawed humans who then find healthy ways to heal and be strong together. While this is book 3 in the series, it was a nice standalone and I didn’t feel lost. Running off for book 1 in this series now!
