Gripping tale of suspense, action, black ops, and conspiracy theories, mixed with an amazing love story.
The prologue gives a great insight to Matt, and the loss and pain he has suffered. I fell for Matt in the previous books of the series, he is such an all around good guy, the perfect hero material, it's hard not to like him. The connection and curiosity between Matt and Briar was first introduced earlier in the series, and I have been looking forward to this story! It didn't disappoint. The attraction burns hot, the passion between them is scorching. But at the same time it's somehow so tender, loving and caring, protective, it just melted my heart.
The action is riveting, and heartfelt,  as people close to Briar, and her operations, starts to die in mysterious ways, and as the government goes after Briar, the hunt for the truth is on across the country. The exploit for truth is explosive, tense, and fierce. Operatives are dying in a domino effect, while Briar and Matt are on the run, fighting to stay alive. I loved that Alex and the Titanium gang was called to help, I always enjoy to visit with the friends from other series. The tension in the story keeps building from the start, the web of lies, secrets, set ups, and illegal actions are endless, while the culprit is  well hidden in his position of power, and slippery to catch.
Yet another dazzling suspense tale from Kaylea Cross, where intense action is mixed with the enticing love story, highly recommended
