Publisher's summary

As a flight attendant, Rayne Jackson is used to cancellations, but she never dreamed her latest would lead to a whirlwind tour of London with a handsome stranger...or a life-altering night in his bed. One evening is all the enigmatic man can give her, and Rayne greedily takes it, despite suspecting it will never be enough.

Heading home after another extreme mission, Keane "Ghost" Bryson hadn't planned to seduce someone during his layover, but Rayne is too sweet to resist. Being a Delta Force member means lying to protect his identity, which is unfortunate, considering Rayne seems made for Ghost, right down to the tattoo on her back. For the first time in his life, regret fills him as he slips away the following morning.

Both are shocked when, months later, they meet again - under the worst possible circumstances. Seems fate has given them a second chance...if they can survive the terrorist situation they're in. If Rayne can forgive Ghost his lies. And if Ghost can trust Rayne to be strong enough to endure the secrets and uncertainty that come with loving a Delta Force soldier.

SUSAN DELIVERS AGAIN

Steamy, with all the right feels, suspenseful action, and believable characters with flaws and endearing qualities.

💦Let it rain!

🔹Overall fun and thrilling with a lot of AMOR! I gladly give this book 4.9 Stars baby!

🔹Pros- great description of characters and connection with characters. Kudos to Stella for narrating all characters -wow! Thrilling storyline with lots of twists n turns! Fantastic steamy sex scenes n hot romance - WOWZA!
I really loved both Rayne and Ghosts characters. ♥️They are one of my top FAVE Delta "couples"!


🔹Cons- Nothing horrible just my observation...
Ghost went from being a gentleman to a jerk. Why Susan morphed his character into an immature teen I do not know! The ending could have been better. Didn't see Ghosts character change for the better - just "stuck in his ways". I was disappointed for Rayne because she deserved much better than he was willing to offer. This could have been avoided if Susan wouldn't have written Ghost to be such a cad at the hospital scene!

🔹My take on this book-

I feel this book needed to be more detailed in the end in order to confirm Ghost had changed back to being a gentleman. Perhaps a few more chapters would have reshaped Ghost and brought em back to Gentleman mode! I did fall in love with Rayne and Ghosts "story" - but this book ended to quickly and I personally did not forgive Ghost for treating Rayne so poorly at the hospital. That whole "scene" seems to be out of character for Ghost! He was such a great guy. (sob)

🔸Narrator note - I feel Stella is a very talented & amazing narrator. She can change her voice to a multitude of characters - both male and female! WOW and KUDOS! My next comment is not intended to be bad - its just an observation. In this particular book Stella's voice sounded "older" to me. (like that of a woman in her late 50s early 60s) Stella actually sounded like my older sister in this book - lol. I did not feel that Rayne was 28 years old- she sounded to be in her late 50s early 60s. Perhaps it would have been a unique story twist and bold move to make her character in her 50s and have Ghost be attracted to a "cougar". Seriously - why not! Men have been doing this for ages! Most books and movies feature OLDER men hooking up with much younger woman. Just sayin! Girl power!

🔹I really LOVED Raynes character thats why I gave this book 4.9 stars!

🔹Overall fun book - Thank you Susan!

Great start to a series

Because of this series Susan Stoker became a must-read/listen author for me. Good story lines, sexy leads and tons of action. What more could you ask for? : )

Strong alpha male. Smart strong woman.

Lots of explicit sex but there was a good story. The story was well developed and sounded plausible.

For my own tastes I could have had less explicit sex but at least the scenes made sense where they were placed.

fantastic

wow loved it and narrated was absolutely fantastic and can't wait for more narrated books.

Entertaining with intrigue and romance

Great story with interesting characters. Was witty and scary at times. looking foward to next book.

Another good series

Good story and narrator was great.
Only wish authors would use popular phrases correctly. Such as: if someone THINKS something will happen, then they may have another THINK coming, NOT another THING coming.

A winner with the whole package!

A great, well thought out story with great characters. Don't miss this one. I've enjoyed all these books but this is her best.

Entertaining beginning, but slow ending.

I enjoyed the introduction of the main characters (Rayne and Ghost), and the way they meet, as well as their short tour of England. I also enjoyed the exciting (and disturbing) parts of what makes their paths cross again. What I didn't like, was the last quarter of the book and how slow it was. It is like the author ran out of story line, so what is left is repetitive dialog, then one tiny experience (hiccup) at the end. I was close to turning it off, but I finished with the hopes that it would get better - even a fun lead-in to another story line, anything...

Saved the Day

Love the book and narrator, there is just something about the tough and protective guys that I love. I found these books after finishing Maya Banks' books. So happy I did!!!
