Publisher's summary

A woman on a mission.

Phoebe Graham is a specialist in deep cover espionage, infiltrating the enemy, observing their practices, and when necessary, eliminating the threat. Her latest assignment is McKay-Taggart Security Services, staffed with former military and intelligence operatives. They routinely perform clandestine operations all over the world, but it isn't until Jesse Murdoch joins the team that her radar starts spinning. Unfortunately, so does her head. He's gorgeous and sweet and her instincts tell her to trust him but she's been burned before, so he'll stay where he belongs - squarely in her sights.

A man on the run.

Since the moment his army unit was captured by jihadists, Jesse's life has been a nightmare. Forced to watch as those monsters tortured and killed his friends, something inside him snapped. When he's finally rescued, everyone has the same question - why did he alone survive? Clouded in accusations and haunted by the faces of those he failed, Jesse struggles in civilian life until McKay-Taggart takes him in. Spending time with Phoebe, the shy and beautiful accountant, makes him feel human for the first time in forever. If someone so innocent and sweet could accept him, maybe he could truly be redeemed.

A love they never expected.

When Phoebe receives the order to eliminate Jesse, she must choose between the job she's dedicated her life to and the man who's stolen her heart. Choosing Jesse would mean abandoning everything she believes in, and it might mean sharing his fate because a shadowy killer is dedicated to finishing the job started in Iraq.

You may only love twice but you only need to listen once

Talk about a book droning on and on. I thought it would never end.
For whatever reason this book wasn’t as good as the ones before it. The “h” went on and on about her situation to the point of torture. Yes torture!
This isn’t worth a credit and I am grateful it was part of the Romance package.
Stars = 3.5

My Fav!

This was by far my favorite in the series so far. It was so nice to finally get Jesse and Phoebe’s story. So many twists and turns and Ryan’s performance kept me wanting more.

I love Jessie and Phoebe’s story

This story, like all of the books in the series has just the right mix of suspense, humor, sarcasm (almost all from Big Tag) and sexy times. Ryan West does a fabulous job narrating it as always.

Narration is Great....Phoebe Isn't

I am giving this book 4 stars. I decided while listening to it that was was not going to hold my dislike of Phoebe against the book.

I liked EVERYBODY, (with the exception of the bad guys), but Phoebe. Even the bad guys were written so well that there was no hesitation in disliking them. I got so tired of her referring to herself as married long after her husband was dead. I got tired of her keeping the truth from Jesse. I was just tired of her.

I did like the way Jesse went from being an idiot grunt to exhibiting some thoughtfulness and intelligence. The last book had Jesse being almost robotic. I couldn't understand them letting him into Sanctum if he wasn't somewhat high functioning.

As usual, the gang was all there with a few additions from Ten's team. The beginning of this book to the end was a rollercoaster ride. This group couldn't even manage a calm, controlled baby shower.

I thought the weakest part of the book was Jesse and Phoebe's relationship. I liked Jesse, but I could not connect with Phoebe at all, and did not get a sense of chemistry between the two. I know it was written, but it was not "felt" by me.

I still wish we would get a little more of the couple being together in their own book after all of the drama ends. The next book does show them being a couple, so I guess we have to live with that. Lol.

On to Ten's book!

I love the men of Santum

This Chapter is about Jessie and his Phoebe. A lot of truths come out, in this book. Phoebe's true identity, Jessie ' s unit's saga and the sex of Big Tag's unborn baby. There is lots of mystery and action as they sort through the facts to find answers to the whys of Jesse ' s capture and torture. Well worth the credit.
