Description
A former gun for hire and a federal agent find themselves on the right side of love but the wrong end of a bullet in this Richter installment from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee.
On a fateful night in Las Vegas, FBI agent Leo Grant is working on a critical detail in a high-profile child prostitution trial when a beautiful woman jumps into the path of a bullet meant for him. Little does Leo know that the woman is Olivia, an ex-assassin who is seeking redemption one good deed at a time.
One minute, Olivia is lunging in front of Leo on the Vegas Strip. The next, she’s waking up in the hospital in a haze of pain with no memory of her past, her enemies, or even her own name.
With Olivia suffering from memory loss and completely unaware of the danger she is in, it’s up to Leo and Neil MacBain’s team of operatives to keep her safe. With Olivia and Leo both unaware of her past crimes, the two have little reason to avoid their growing attraction. Slowly her past seeps in through the cracks as she struggles to find the answers of who she is. When the veil is lifted and her dark past is staring her down, Olivia must turn her back on Leo and the love she can never allow herself to have, and race to find her would-be killer.
5+ STARS
This story hooked me early and just kept pulling me in.
I just have to say "wow" when it came to Olivia. What a life she has led in the past. More of that past gets revealed over time. It also made me keep thinking, "what's going to happen next?" There's plenty of danger and action to keep that question going. The activities were complex with layers, written in a good way. Enough to keep the interest going but without being confusing. It also has twists and turns right to the end.
Let's not forget about the other main character, Leo. You'd think that he would be the average stereotype staid F.B.I. guy, right? If that's what you think, you'd be wrong. Oh, he's a good guy alright but he also has layers. Layers that make him more interesting too.
Neil MacBain’s team of operatives just keep the interest going. They are so well written with depths of their own.
The ending to the story will blow you away with the surprises that it holds. The Epilogue was also a nice touch. I hope to read more by this author. I adored the daylights out of this one.
