AEGIS: an elite team of
ex-military men working under the radar of most governments. If you have a
problem no one else can handle, they can help.
A former SEAL and Black
Ops specialist who left the CIA, Nick Donovan gave up a life on the edge to
work in the private sector. But that didn't stop his enemies from coming after
him—or his family. In a case of mistaken identity, a drug cartel kidnaps his
sister-in-law's best friend … a woman from Nick's past.
One minute Jennifer
Grayson is housesitting and the next she's abducted to a foreign brothel.
Jennifer is planning her escape when her first "customer" arrives.
Nick, the man who broke her heart years ago, has come to her rescue. Now, as
they race for their lives, passion for each other reignites and old secrets
resurface. Can Nick keep the woman he loves safe against an enemy with a
personal vendetta?
This
is the first Elite Ops book that I have read. I am glad that I joined this book
tour because I would have been missing out on something awesome. Kay Thomas
manages to create a book that leaves you guessing after every chapter you
finish. When you have the answer to one problem there is always a bigger one
waiting for you to solve. There are always questions and if you think you know
what is going on Kay throws you off the trail. There were enough heart stopping
moments that you couldn’t do anything but keep turning the pages. The actions
starts almost immediately. There is no waiting around for something happen. Kay
starts the action and doesn’t stop until the last page.
Jennifer
Grayson is housesitting for her best friend when she gets abducted and forced
to work in a brothel in Mexico. She has to keep up the appearance that she is
Nick Donovan’s sister-in-law to stay alive. She is trying to keep her eyes open
so that she can make an escape. She has prepared herself as much as she can for
the things she is going to be forced to do before she can escape. When her first
costumer walks in it’s the last person she ever though she would see again.
Jennifer is a puts up a pretty strong front against the situation that she is
in. She keeps hope that she will survive no matter how many times her life is
in danger.
Nick
Donovan has been working for the CIA until about a year ago and now he is
working for a private company called AEGIS. He is on vacation when he gets a
photo of what is supposed to be his sister-in-law being abducted. He learns
that it is the one woman he hasn’t been able to forget and now he is going to
give everything he has to get her back. Once they are together again they are
running for their lives. Someone has betrayed Nick he just doesn’t know who
yet. Nick was a great leading man. He was sexy, protective, and bad ass. He has
always had to numb his emotions for his job but now he wants them back. Seeing
Jenny again and learning why they never moved past a summer fling is bring them
back and it was heartbreaking to watch him go through the struggle of controlling
his emotions.
We
got to watch Nick and Jennifer work through their problems and realize they
never stopped loving each other. This was a great book. The only thing I didn’t
like was the ending. Not only did we get left hanging but it was really abrupt.
I thought that I had a few more pages but it kind of just ended. I was really
confused. Other than that this book was great and I would recommend it to
anyone that likes action with their hot and steamy romances.
Thank you for hosting today!
ReplyDeleteI realize this is fiction, Kay, but honestly, I don't see why more ex-military men can't have a career like your Elite Ops guys. But first, we have to help them through the trauma of war and PTSD. They have to be pretty strong mentally to be in a post-military career like this. That's just my thought anyway.
