This is sixth in a series but can be read as a standalone. This is the story of Security Firm Owner Larkin and Winnie, abuse survivor, a woman of wealth, and owner of a secret home for abused women.

Winnie employs Larkin to protect her and her women's' home following an article listing Winnie Bellamy as one of the wealthiest women in America. Larkin ups the security at her home, before whisking her away to his family compound on Wolff Mountain to keep her safe.

They both try there hardest to ignore the mutual attraction and try their hardest to maintain their professional relationship, but they find it difficult to keep their hands to themselves.

The characters are likeable and the story is enjoyable, if not a little predictable and cheesy.

Gritty French social thriller (if that's a thing) hits its targets. A policeman newly assigned to a special unit in Paris finds his first day at work turning into a nightmare as tensions rise between different groups and his superior turns out to be an undisciplined loose cannon.

Bleak but compelling: this film was made in 2018 and 2019, but its concern with race, poverty, police brutality and the abuse of power means it feels very timely. Gripping plot and strong performances result in a film which is frequently tense even if it's seldom reassuring. The climax is as strong a condemnation of the failure of the young by wider social structures as I can remember seeing. A powerful and serious film, but also a very satisfying piece of entertainment.
