"Jaime's Vengeance" is book #5 in the Charlie Team series; this book is Jaime and Kade's story. Kade is the "last remaining bachelor"; while his teammates found their significant others, he has yet to find his "partner in crime". Kade doesn't mind the single life, however, seeing his friends' happiness (even though he doesn't like to admit it) made him realize that he wants to settle down. Jaime is on a path of destruction, and she has one thing on her mind: vengeance. And unfortunately, indirectly, Kade is a part of her plan. I love how the book title of Elizabella's work plays a major role in her novels tying into the story so well. I enjoyed the pace of this novel; from the very first page, it was action-packed, and this pace continued on throughout the book. A combination of forced proximity/stuck together, romantic suspense and action. And as always, I loved the team's friendly banter! And Wes!! Ahh... I'm so curious about the big grumpy teddy bear boss; I'm dying to know his backstory! And I cannot wait to read his book!
Despite the course of action she took, (yes, it was wrong, but she had her reasons), Jaime is a likeable character. Just like the colour of her hair colour, Jaime is a feisty, independent and sassy red headed female MC. And like a moth to a flame, Kade loves the way she burns, unable to stay away despite getting burned. They did hit it off on their first encounter, but afterwards, it sort of went downhill. Kade was kidnapped, and Jaime was one of the people behind his kidnapping. Kade shouldn't be attracted to her; Jaime challenged him in so many ways. The feeling is mutual; it's not one-sided. For years, Jaime has been carefully setting her plan, and with Kade coming into the picture, she's about the risk of all the progress she made so far. And somehow, they both managed to break down each others' defences. Jaime's plan intertwines with Kade's team's mission: they have a common enemy they want to bring down.
