Description

Growing up a military brat and spending eight years overseas with the Army Medical Corps, clinical social worker, Willa Smith, has had enough of rules and regulations. Still able to work with veterans as she did at the VA Hospital, she is much happier at the new and far more relaxed South Avenue Shelter, until one of its residents is implicated in a murder.

Former military turned security operative, Dimas Mazur, has worked for PASS security, his brother’s company, since he returned stateside after a disabling injury. The job keeps him busy, but when a homeless veteran he knows runs into trouble with the law, he doesn’t hesitate to jump in. The strong-headed counselor at the shelter where his friend stayed is an unexpected bonus.

Until she puts herself square in the sights of the man he’s trying to take down.

    I’m so in love with these main characters this author always brings us. They are older, 39/41 and bring a maturity to the book I crave. You don’t find silly games being played and while they are still human and flawed, they do react to miss understanding and drama better. They stand out amongst all those 20 year old characters in other books. Willa is a heroine I really enjoyed. I could completely relate to her view point when it came to relationships, but I also liked how she opened up to the possibility when the right guy came along. She struggles but she didn’t shove away completely. I liked her level head and her compassion for others. Dimas did take a a bit in the beginning to win me over. It didn’t take him long to prove that Willa was different for him and how good he could be for her. That is ultimately what I need to see to really get behind a hero. He turned out to be very protective, and a he spoiled her. I just love it when a guy spoils his girl. The plot of the book was equally as exciting. It was unique and has you on edge a lot through this book. Overall, I loved it and I can’t wait for the next in the series!
  • Another fantastic story from Ms. Barker!!!

    There are books that I read that I either connect with or just read to say I finished it. Life & Limb is one I connected with. The experiences that Dimas and Willa went through connected me to them on a personal level. Their story is one of determination and perseverance! I loved Willa and her dedication to her job and her “take no prisoner” attitude!!! Dimas is her perfect partner!
  • Love it!

    Life and Limb is the second book in Freya Barker’s PASS series and another awesome read. Like I always say, Freya writes amazing characters with a great storyline and lots of suspense. Throw in strong women and protective and honorable alpha male and it’s just the way I love my books. Willa Smith is a social worker that works in a shelter for homeless veterans. She is fierce, independent and strong. Love her character. Dimas Mazur is a veteran who now works with his brother Yanis as a Security Expert at PASS. Loved the mystery side of the story and guessing who did it. The chemistry between the main characters was great and love reading about Jake and Rosie. Dimas parents, Anna and Max had me laughing. They were my favorite characters in the book. Hope to read more about them in Yanis’ book. Awesome read and can’t wait for more of this series and read Bree and Yanis’ book soon. My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS!

    So good! I loved that Dimas and Willa are late thirties/early forties. There are bumps in the road, but they get through them. Lots of drama and suspense. A few twists and turns. When both sets of parents meet,I laughed out loud through the whole chapter. Steamy and Dimas is so sweet! HEA.
