FBI negotiator MMC and security specialist FMC hooked up for a ONS and find themselves in the middle of a terroist attack. He's a great character - smart, competent, compassionate, sexy - an all-rounder hero. She's brave, and strong in her way but she could kinder to herself at recognising her very justified moments of weakness. Their romance - from ONS to bonds forged in the midst of danger - was written well, and their reliance of each other adds to the building of feelings. 

The dead wife trope is meh though, thankfully it isn't overwhelming (but still is a point of conflict), and he should've been honest from start. But it's good to see the process of them sorting out their own issues, feelings borne through circumstances vs real feelings. I really rooted for them , and the deserved HEA is great. Suspense wise, it's great, exciting, very gritty and detailed (perhaps a bit much). I also like the secondary characters, and I'm looking forward to their book
