The Forgotten Lei - Katie Mettner

Hiding in plain sight on the beautiful island of Maui, Leilani Iona knows her days are numbered. The past has caught up with her and she'll pay with her life.

Niko Nikolaev has a complicated relationship with Maui, and his newly widowed mother. Drawn in by Lei’s exotic beauty, Niko struggles to separate the man in him from the job at hand, finding the men responsible for her torment. 

Lei knows her determination and will-to-live won’t be enough to get out of this deadly mess, and when bullets start flying she must rely on a man she barely knows. As Lei and Niko struggle to stay alive, she learns love runs deeper than blood, heroes exist, and Cupid’s arrow always finds its mark.

I fell in love with Lei in Me & Mr. IT. I was ready for her story and I was doing cartwheels when it came out. (figurative cartwheels. I don't need to break a bone. Ha!) Niko was the unknown going in. He definitely didn't disappoint!  Lei though she drove me a bit nuts she's determined her life is ending soon and doesn't think anyone can help. Niko has been brought in by her boss to protect her from the unknown threat. They are the perfect match his optimism balances her pessimistic tendencies. Niko is a never quit kinda guy who's sexy and caring. He'll sweep you off your feet faster than you can say Lei.
Once again Katie Mettner swept me off my feet with this amazing story filled with romance, intrigue and action!  It's definitely a perfect book for your beach reads tbr pile!
