Matthias Clarke is a security expert and an enforcer who deploys people to fix things. This time though, he steps out of the office himself because it's personal. Seven years ago, his brother was killed in a massacre and the sole survivor disappeared. Was she a victim or the killer, he intends to find out and get justice.

Kayla Roy has been on the run for years. Hiding, changing identities and running whenever the past catches up with her. But she is tired now and her stubborn friend doesn't make things easy for her when she wants to run, feeling suspicious of this dark enigmatic stranger. So she stays on and despite her wariness, she cannot help but be intrigued and attracted to Matthias. He is awkward, blunt and persistent. When her past catches up with her again, he proves to be a protector she never expected. But what happens when she finds the truth about him?

Nothing about Kayla points to her being the killer. The attraction and Matthias's instinct to protect her doesn't help matters when instead of investigating further, he stays on trying to court her. When threat from her past comes knocking with an unexpected manipulator of strings, Matthias needs his head in the game if he wants to save Kayla, this time from disappearing permanently, in death.

Helenkay Dimon completely blew me away with THE ENFORCER. Matthias Clarke is unlike any hero I have ever read. He is awkward with serious people skills. Love how Garrett keeps pulling his and Wren's leg about their social interactions. And if he is any example of Wren being similar, am definitely picking the first book in this series. I was laughing throughout their conversations. But this does not define Matthias. He might be anti-social but he is an intelligent, protective man with a dark background and emotional vulnerability which makes him human and all the more lovable.

Kayla is one heck of a strong lady. Love how she survived and still did not leave behind her innate friendliness. What she stumbled into was horrifying but she braved through it and did not let it define her even if it has been years since she had someone to lean on. And love the fact she didn't spend much time wallowing in self-pity. Their chemistry is amazing but so is their understanding of each other. Especially Matthias when he finally gets her to open up. That was one emotional scene. They are perfect for each other.

I can go on and on. To cut it short, THE ENFORCER is a fun romantic suspense with enough heat to sizzle, suspense to keep on edge and heart to play with your emotions and make you laugh. One of the best romantic suspense I have read this year. Just expect a different sort of hero than you are used to. I cannot wait to see what Ms. Dimon has next in store for us. Hopefully Garrett's book. Do not miss THE ENFORCER!
