No Turning Back by Kaylea Cross
4.0
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.
