*** Book Review- "Stolen Risk" Aegis Group Task Force#1) by Sidney Bristol.

   

Jamie Silva helps lead a specialized team that works to tackle the difficult jobs. The ones the government can't be party to. When his team is recruited to join an off-the-books task force he knows the stakes are higher than ever before. He just didn't think the job would include seducing the CEO of a major tech company, or that he'd want her up against a wall, in bed or anywhere else.

Tabby Grissler is tired of waiting for Mr. Right, at least until tall, dark and handsome sits next to her at a charity event. He ticks all her boxes, except he's lying to her. Confronted with the reality that her dream guy is a government spy merely marks the beginning. Someone has stolen her tech with the intent to create a global blackout and in order to stop them, she'll have to work with Jamie. But she doesn't have to trust him.

Thrown together, Tabby and Jamie must put aside their differences and ignore their chemistry if they're going to get to the bottom of the international theft. But each clue leads them further down the rabbit hole and time is running out.

5 STARS

Jamie and Tabby were each a One of a Kind person.  I really enjoyed their part in this story.  One of my favorite observations made by someone who really knew Jamie was:  Who he is doesn't match with who he looks like (on the outside).  What a great comment and I could really see it. And not only for him but also Tabby.  She was scary smart as a whip but she also had secret personal wishes.  So did Jamie but it takes quite a while for them both to come clean about that.  Makes for some interesting times, for sure.  

The dangers in this story was almost like a three-ring-circus and I don't mean that in a bad way.  It kept the story unpredictable and intense. 

Jamie's team members were each unique in their own way.  They teased Jamie about being a  Serial Monogamist, always looking for "The One".  But they also had his back 100% and he has theirs.

I liked how the story had a dramatic, and romantic ending with all of the enemies taken care of.  Well, except for one identity not yet revealed.  Still, this was a good standalone story but with the door open for more adventures with others.
