Bennett and Hadley have been percolating away in the background of the previous books. You just knew that when they finally got together there would be flames and I was not disappointed.
Bennett may be a billionaire now but he was SAS and still would be if he hadn't decided h could save more lives by inventing the very best protection he could for soldiers on the front line. But someone has decided to steal from Bennett - bad move for them because he won't stop until he finds them.
Hadley may come from the aristocracy but she is so different from her cold, uncaring parents that it's hard to believe they're related! She was a bit of a legend at MI6 but Killian managed to steal her away and she enjoys her new life in New York. But a simple meeting in London has put her in the perfect place to assist Bennett in his investigations. But will they kill each other before they can act on the intense chemistry between them?
Bennett struggles with protecting Hadley - he's well aware of how lethal she is but he just can't switch off that caveman part of his brain when she's around! Hadley has struggles of her own - she was burned in love before and doesn't want a repeat but Bennett has this way of making her lose her cool! Hadley is also intelligent, independent, and tenderhearted under that ever-so-detached persona she projects.
The romance scorches with these two - office nooky has never been so hot! Whilst the chemistry sizzles between them it never gets in the way of their mission and the action is superb. Can't wait for more. I'm also secretly hoping that the other Knightly brothers and Henry, Bennett's best buddy, also get a book because they are super intriguing!
