NO TURNING BACK was a great suspense read and I actually liked the action and adventure more than the romance itself. The team's mission to find and stop Tehrazzi has really ramped up and with half the team injured, things are getting dangerous. I loved how high the emotion was in NO TURNING BACK as Sam works to prove her innocence. I felt her pain and her anxiety so strongly and I wanted everyone to see that she was on their side. I know that Ben's doubts were a part of the story line but I also wish he had fully trusted Sam sooner. His doubt really breaks her heart and the ending was so poignant as the book's events come to a head.
I liked both Ben and Sam as characters but I did feel like Sam's feelings for Ben came about really fast. They've known each other from the previous books but we didn't really get to see those interactions so it took a bit for me to understand the growing feelings, especially considering Ben's doubts. However, Ben is very much a protector and that comes through clearly in the way he cares for Sam and desperately wants to believe in her. As a communications expert for the CIA, Sam is used to dealing with agents and terrorists but usually it's from behind a computer. This mission puts her directly in the action and she's not really trained for that. I'd love to see a book where the heroine has more experience and isn't just dragged along on a mission she's really not qualified to be on.
We also get a lot of scenes with Luke who is trying to recover from a concussion and some minor memory loss. The decisions he's forced to make during the mission don't always paint Luke in the best light but I'm very curious for his story. Each book in this series has followed one right after the other and the ending of NO TURNING BACK was a doozy.

Samarra Wallace's cousin Neveah has been abducted by the man Luke Hutchinson is chasing. We learn that Luke trained him when he was a teenager to be used against the Russians. However, he feels betrayed by Luke and he's become the new Osama Bin Laden. Sam is a communications expert and wants to help Luke and his team. Luke is not sure if she's a traitor or really there to help. He tells one of his operatives, Ben Sinclair, to watch her. Ben and Sam fall for each other. In the end they are able to save Sam's cousin but Ben's twin is critically wounded. Ben accuses Sam of causing the accident. She can't believe he doesn't trust her but decides she must move on. Once it's clear that Sam was on their side, Ben has to try to win her back. The last three chapters of this book were very emotional. The ending was lovely.
