Jenna had been kidnapped as a child and raised in a cult, but knowing that she is about to be sold gives her the courage to finally make her escape. She knows no matter how horrible her life had been she knew what was coming next would be a lot worse. She never imagined that JUST ONE TOUCH would really set her free.
Isaac Washington, a member of Devereaux Security, becomes part of her last ditch effort to evade recapture and finds out why this little "angel" is so sought after. He then plans to protect her from everyone who would harm her, despite her wanting to run to protect him and his friends and family.
JUST ONE TOUCH is going to put you on a roller coaster ride that is emotional as well as action packed. This is is the fifth of Maya Banks Slow Burn series and the impact is just as strong as the first. The men who belong to Devereaux Security are tough men, but when it comes to women they have definite soft spots. All the wives are sisters to the members and they would do anything and everything to protect them. Isaac is the same, after meeting Jenna and she saves him, he knows he can do nothing more than to put his life on the line for her.
I am a strong believer in love at first sight and I think the way this one was handled was perfect. Once Isaac realizes she is totally innocent in everything to do with this world, he steps back and wants to teach her, especially how he and his friends treat women. I also loved that Shadow, one of his teammates, let her know that he was now a part of her family by helping to teach her about affection and explaining things. Something about Shadow drew me in as much as the plot involving Jenna and Isaac. I guess because I am a sucker for any kind of camaraderie and this was perfect for me as the guys considered each other family.
There are a number of unforeseen twists and turns in this story and ... wow ... I was not prepared for the ending of the danger to go the way it did. Nor could I have ever anticipated the truth of her kidnapping to be explained the way it was. But JUST ONE TOUCH is just what Maya Banks' readers have come to expect, especially in this series.
