This is the book I’ve been waiting for most in this series. Having read all the Norcross books, Killian was first introduced in that series and his journey to a happily ever after was perfect for him. Of course, there was no shortage of action and adventure and Devyn was no damsel in distress. I loved that both Devyn and Killian were able to save themselves and vowed to also save each other. They made a great team. 

Killian and Devyn met years ago in the CIA. Killian was just getting out and Devyn was just getting started. Over the years they ran into each other carrying out their own ops, but when an assassin is after both of them, they finally get the chance to work together. I loved how determined they both were to keep each other safe and unharmed. I also loved that Killian recognized Devyn was just as capable as he was. Killian was determined to finally have a relationship with Devyn and made that clear while still considering her feelings and her checkered past. 

One of the things I love most about Anna Hackett is they way her series crossover. I knew this would be one that had some crossover because of Killian’s sister’s relationship with one of the Norcross men. I always love getting a glimpse of Vander Norcross and Killian is definitely his equal. 

This book was quite the adventure. There were so many cameos and nonstop action. A great read and never a dull moment.
