Camilla Melini is a high-ranking soldier with an organization fighting to free elemental magic users. Her latest assignment is to find one of the legendary elemental Four Talents, and she's determined to get in and out of Mexico as quickly as possible to avoid running into the man who nearly destroyed her life. But when the dangerous man from her past finds her, Cam must work with Marco Alvarez, a man she'd dismissed as a playboy, to prevent the the powerful magic of the Talents from falling into the wrong hands. She never expected the charming playboy to be a cunning warrior worthy of her heart... Marco Alvarez is sent to Mexico with two goals-to watch Cam's back and to investigate a series of arson fires targeting former AMT prison employees. But when a shadow-shifter shows up looking for Cam, Marco decides he needs to stick close to her to help her mission succeed. As he gets to know the strong-willed woman, he's torn between telling her the truth of his elemental magic and keeping the others who share his secret safe. But when Cam sacrifices herself to save her colleagues, Marco must expose the secret of his elemental magic or risk losing the only woman who can match both his passion and his strength.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Book 2 of the Asylums for Magical Threats and I must say I am liking this series quite a lot. This story focuses on Camilla and Marco, who are sent to find one of the Four Talents. In the previous book we learn Kiarra is a Talent, which means there are three left that DEFEND needs to find and protect. The relationship between Camilla and Marco starts off rocky. And I will admit it took me a while to warm up to Cam. She is this tough bad ass woman soldier and leader and though I understood her motivation and her instincts to prove that just because she is a woman doesn't mean she can't lead, for me, she was a bit over the top. However, Marco was the best character to take her down a bit and make her realize that he does in fact respect her and has no problem with her being in charge, as long as she is at least willing to listen to what he has to say. Because his information and skills are helpful. And he is more than the mask that he wears around others. You learn a lot about their pasts and how it has defined who they are at this moment. Their mission has adventure and dangers and all the while they strive to complete it we get to them break down their walls and open up for the first time. The story also continues two other story lines from the first book that deals with Millie and Gio. Each are in their own situation and I curious to see if they will cross paths once more. Definitely a great series and if you liked the first one you should keep reading!
