The story
I’ve been waiting for Bebe’s story since her first appearance in Code Name: Genesis. Her backstory intrigued me so much. Genius hacker who intentionally got caught hacking nuclear codes to prevent them from getting into the wrong hands and then taking the fall and in turn having to leave her 3-year-old son behind? Hell yes, sign me up! It sounded like one hell of a woman and I wanted to know more about her!
Bebe did not disappoint. She was an incredibly strong and resilient character. Vulnerable when it counted but also very determined when it came to things she wanted. Griff, well honestly? Besides his morals, there wasn’t much that I knew about him. His character wasn’t as fleshed out as I would have liked, and the same also goes for the relationship development between him and Bebe. It was pretty insta. I just wanted a bit more than what was told but granted this is a romantic suspense novel.
To end this on a more positive note, I absolutely loved that small twist. I never saw it coming and I think, very few readers will expect it. On the one hand, I’m a tiny bit disappointed not to get this other certain angle but on the other hand, I’m extremely satisfied with this small surprise we got here.
Another thing I really liked were the secondary characters. Kynan is getting more and more awesome it seems, and Aaron is simply the best kid a mother like Bebe could wish for (though any mother really).
The narration
There seemed to be a discrepancy between the two narrating styles. While Savannah Peachwood used a British accent to portray Kynan, Aiden Snow did not. It made me question why because I do think that it should have been uniform. Either both narrators do it or neither one does it.
Other than that both were great though. I really like the color of Savannah Peachwood’s voice. It sounds young and fresh and very pleasing to listen to. Aiden Snow’s voice is sexy as hell. I enjoy his way of narrating, it’s very natural.
