What a thrilling story! The Ultimatum was all non-stop action as one woman’s past began to unravel and everything she thought she knew came into question.
‘Mentor, teacher, taskmaster. Ruthless disciplinarian. Despot. Her constant in an uncertain world. Con man. Thief. Dad.’
Karen Robards is at the top of her game with this new series. The only way I can describe the level of subterfuge and action in this novel is to compare it to a female James Bond meets the Italian Job with a little Mission Impossible thrown in (for heist/action flick fans). Our heroine Bianca had all the cool gizmos, gadgets, and tools of the trade you’d expect, all while switching identities with the greatest of ease. We were kind of dropped right into the action at the start of this story so it took me a short while to acclimate myself to what was going on, but once I got my bearings things fell into place and it was a crazy fun adventure.

In a small, one story house on the shore of Lake Michigan. On a cold October night a man was there to kill everyone who lived in the house. Mother Issa was waiting for husband to come home and four-year-old Beth was excited that daddy was coming home. A man set fire to their house and then blew Thayer's head off when he got out of his car. The man's mission had been completed he had killed everyone who had lived in the house.
Bianca is smart, talented and beautiful. She's also a high-end thief, a master manipulator, a card shark and a genius of disguise. A female Robin Hood running a multinational firm with her father, she makes a living swindling con men out of money they stole and giving it back to those who should rightfully have it. Her father has prepared her well to carry on the family business, and now the prodigy has surpassed the master.
But her latest mission didn't go to plan - millions of dollars and top secret government documents went missing, and her father was supposedly killed. But not everyone believes in his death, including US government. They'll stop at nothing to capture Richard St. Ives , a target who has been on most-wanted lists all over the world. Even if it means using Bianca as bait.
With only a criminal backup and her life on the line, it's up to Bianca to uncover the terrifying truth behind what really happened and set it right, before it's too late.

A little The Long Kiss Goodnight + Jason Bourne + all of the Charlie's Angels in one package but not as good as any of those three individually.
Great start to a new series. Looking forward to more of Bianca's adventures
I liked Bianca and I’ll definitely read book 2, thanks to a very interesting twist. But, overall the plot felt a bit scattered which made this less compelling than it could have been.
