Another fantastic romantic suspense from Brittney Sahin. I'd give this a bit more than a 4. Maybe 4.25, but alas, Goodreads likes the good old one-star system.
I loved both of our two main characters, Ryan and Natalia. These two characters were not strangers to me as they make regular appearances in the new Costa series, especially the first book. So no surprises with their characters and I enjoyed getting to know them much better. And of course to get their story.
As with many of Sahin's books, this one is a couple that has had a very long pining for each other. Natalia was Ryan's brother's ex-fiance (and yes that was VERY messy) and Ryan, of course, hide his attraction for her because of said brother ... who frankly didn't deserve the consideration because he was a selfish shit.
The story does start because of said selfish shit brother getting himself into trouble and Ryan, who constantly feels he has to protect his brother, rides to the rescue. Of course, it's not that easy and he asks Natalia for help. Now I won't go into too much detail because that would give far too much away, but suffice too say Ryan needs a "fiance" and Natalia fits the bill.
What I liked about this story is that it had so many of her wonderful characters from other stories, i.e. Noah, Owen & Samantha, Luke, Asher and Jessica and a wee mention of The League from Dublin Nights. I also liked the fact that it wasn't Natalia being threatened and who needed rescuing. That was a nice switch. It was his idiot brother who needed it, but also how it folded in the Bravo team from Stealth Ops was great.
Considering how rare Sahin writes standalone books, this one was perfect but still fit perfectly into her world of great heroes and unforgettable heroines.
