Book Blurb: The night before his wedding, Zander Walsh, his parents, and his husband-to-be are all shot when they return home and interrupt a mysterious robbery in progress. After three weeks in a coma, Zander wakes up to find out he is the only survivor, and his perfect life falls apart in an instant.

Hunky FBI Agent Jake Elliot is investigating the case, and he eventually apprehends the killer—who soon escapes. Following six months of searching, Zander and Jake realize they’re being stonewalled by the FBI... and that they have slowly formed an unbreakable bond that is beginning to turn into much more.

Once they embark on a journey to apprehend the killer for the second time, they’ll discover that one terrible night was much more than just an interrupted robbery. Can big business and politics cover up the truth, or will Zander and Jake’s quest to unravel the mystery be the end of their newfound love and their lives?

Review: Even though I had picked up Bounty of Love before Foundation of Love from Netgalley, I wound up reading the former after the latter.

While I had enjoyed reading Foundation, I found Bounty to be more enjoyable. Part of it stems that, for me, the dialogue had more of a flow and felt less stilted. Another part is the characters. The loss that Zander Walsh suffered is offset by slowly working his way back from his grief. Jake Elliot has his career path set in the FBI, but when things start looking "fishy" for him on the case, he starts looking and the two work together. Which leads to things developing on a personal level. There is also the mystery of why what happened, happened.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how the story unfolded, how the characters grew and how their relationship developed.
