An ex-CIA turned mercenary and a doctor reunited amidst danger and flying bullets. Charlie is a protective, badass silver fox but comes off as immature at times while Will is focused, stubborn and has a soft and sensitive side. Very meh about why their relationship ended (the cliché "for your own good" by Charlie), but I stanned the angst and emotions flying about in the reunion.
The depth of both their angst is portrayed well, even if I wanted to deck Charlie. They had to work through their past and their secrets, but underneath it all, their feelings never went away and it clearly shows. I enjoyed their romance - there's chemistry, snark and steam, and the heartfelt moments are strong. I wished Will held out longer though! Lots of movie-styled action, and Charlie's team is very likeable.
P.S. Cliffhanger warning, but the romance ends with HEA
