EVERYTHING SHE WANTED is Book 5 in The Hunted series by Jennifer Ryan. I really love any books written by Jennifer Ryan. Her female characters are always outstanding. Even though the women suffer through great adversity they have such strong character. And the men who enter their lives are a perfect fit. I was delighted to see a continuation of this series and see it all come full circle. When I read SAVED BY THE RANCHER, the first book in this series, I knew I would be reading the others as soon as they were published. The characters drew me in, especially the females. There is just something about the way they handle themselves through all the hardships. These women deal with abuse, threats to their lives and their loved ones. But through it all they show a remarkable strength of character where they may be down but not out. That is the uniqueness of books by Jennifer Ryan. Her female characters are depicted as strong women with remarkable character. The men may be true alpha males, but they never overshadow the women. If you have not read any of her books, please do.

Social worker Kate Morrison faces a devastating loss and is determined to find justice. In order to find justice, she will go up against ones who have used wealth to escape justice. Attorney Ben Knight is familiar with dealing with individuals who use wealth to escape justice. When he sees Kate, he realizes they have crossed paths on several occasions. Kate and Ben both have always held back from getting attached because of past family history. They are drawn to each other but have to learn to trust each other. Kate has more difficulty coming to terms with her feelings because of her upbringing and having to rely solely on herself. She has to come to terms with the fact that EVERYTHING SHE WANTED is hers to have if she allows herself to take it.

EVERYTHING SHE WANTED is a great story about how far a person will go for someone they love. It also sadly shows how an individual can be misled and do things they greatly regret and how it can cost them everything. The Hunted is a wonderful series about strong, outstanding women and the men who have their back!
