Bianca is trying to save her friend. She and the B-Squad are doing what they can to find Gidget. The added bonus of some man candy doesn't hurt either. Her boyfriend and his former military friends make this team even hotter.
Trying to take down crazy drug dealers and save her friend will cost her more patience then Bianca ever thought, seeing as her boyfriend's wife nuts walked through the door. Yup, boyfriend's wife. That's what I said!
Time is not on their side and she doesn't have time to process that the man she is falling for has a wife. He's never even mentioned ever being married...funny how that didn't come up during their six month relationship.
As Bianca struggles to find her friend and avoid Taz, she needs to figure what she wants.
It's a quick read and an intriguing idea. The downside is I felt like I was a little lost not having read the novella. It was a it frustrating, but over all fun.

This was my first Avery Flynn book and while I did enjoy the story, I was left wanting more and feeling like I missed something while reading this.
The story was not bad. There was heat and emotion to the characters. I did like Taz and Biana, but they felt one dimensional. They were steamy, yet at times it really made me wonder how realistic that could be. Trapped in a closet with a guard just on the other side and they have sex? I never thought I would say this, but I think there was actually too much sex and romping in this book.
I feel like I missed half of the book and it was over way too quickly with no real story building. This may be a story for someone, but not for me.

Bianca finally has her PI licence and with the help of Taz, has a thriving business. Along with her former fellow St B inmates, and Taz's "brothers" B-Squad Security and Investigations is doing quite well. But as with anything in life with the sweet there has to be the sour. Bianca knew everything was too good to be true but she never expected Taz past to come back and bite her in the butt, especially not an EXWIFE that she didn't know he had!!!
Taz can't believe Tamara is back and causing mayhem yet again. When she drops her little extortion demands he gets a friend to do little digging to see what she is really up to. Add to the still missing Gidget mystery and the timing could not have been worse! Genie's wish is still out there and when he and the furious Bianca go undercover at a Hedonist resort, they find that another strain is out there.
Will they finally find Gidget and figure out who the elusive mastermind behind Genie's Wish is? What is their tie to Bianca and the rest of her girls? Will Taz ever be able to get Bianca to trust him again?
Fast and furious and funny!!!! B-Squad are all unique and I love who the two posses have melded into one big mad extended family. Complete with insults, practical jokes and revenge plots!! Remind me never to pee off Elise, that woman is scary with wax in her hand! Bianca is waaaaay more understanding and courteous to Tamara that I'd ever be! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

The second B-Squad book begins a little bit after [b:Bullet Proof: A MacKenzie Family Novella (MacKenzie World, #2)|27993625|Bullet Proof A MacKenzie Family Novella (MacKenzie World, #2) (B-Squad, #0.5)|Avery Flynn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1448584347s/27993625.jpg|47995710] ends--the squad has been established, and is hard at work trying to find its last member (Gidget) and keep the drug Bianca and Taz were exposed to in the last book off the streets. Bianca and Taz are living together, and everything seems to be going along swimmingly until Bianca is blindsided by the ex (or is she?) wife she didn't know Taz even had. How well does she really know him? Is their relationship based on nothing more than lust and sex?
(Speaking of sex, there's an awful lot of it in this one. Some of it in public...)
So yeah, the pressure's on.
I liked the beginning and end of the book the best--their time on the island seemed to veer away from the mission somewhat (and raised some questions--like if Bianca needs Elisa to give her "ten pounds" of contouring as a part of her disguise, what would she have done on day two, when she wakes up contour-free and Elisa's not there to fix her up again? Or if she just smudged it on the beach?) The next book in the series (Bang) is nicely set up, and the book after that (Bold) is hinted at (poor Marco's mom!) and my interest in them is sufficiently piqued to make me keep an eye on Goodreads to see when I can add them to my TBR.
Though you could definitely read this one without having read [b:Bullet Proof: A MacKenzie Family Novella (MacKenzie World, #2)|27993625|Bullet Proof A MacKenzie Family Novella (MacKenzie World, #2) (B-Squad, #0.5)|Avery Flynn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1448584347s/27993625.jpg|47995710]. the introductory novella does a good job of introducing the characters and the situation they find themselves in here and can answer a few questions for you.

Hot sex. Action. Adventure. Drama. Romance. This story had all the makings to make for one amazingly fun read.
Bianca and Taz are in love, running B-Squad Security and Investigations, and searching for a lost friend. Everything's pretty great until Taz's wife shows up. He's married? This is a huge blow to their relationship and Bianca's heart and the timing couldn't be worse. They're about to go undercover as a newlywed couple and Bianca isn't sure how she'll be able to stand being in the same room with the man who broke her heart. But Taz isn't giving up without a fight because he only wants her and he'll stop at nothing to prove his love and devotion to her.
This was a sweet escape read with tons of hi-jinks, heat and love. Avery Flynn is a new-to-me author and I adore her writing. I'll be sure to add the rest of her books to my to-read list.
Release Date: June 7, 2017
Genre: Romantic Suspense
POV: Multiple - 3rd person
