5 STARS
Jethro..what a guy. Sure, he had flaws that even he recognized in himself but still..what a guy ! And his skills are off the charts. He makes a huge mistake when it comes to judging Gemma when he meets her. All his flags went up just looking at her. Of course, Gemma doesn't want anything to do with him and freezes him out just making his judgement against her that much stronger. Gemma needs to keep people from getting to close to her. And I really enjoyed the surprise that she has kept hidden and how it was slowly unwrapped.
Can someone PLEASE deal with that snotty, power hungry, promotion climbing at all costs jerk, HDD pretty boy, Special Agent Tom Rutherford ?!? I really hated him in this story and then I went wait a minute. I remembered him in the previous stories but you don't have to have read the previous stories for the dislike to set in.
One of my favorite sections had to do with Jethro telling Gemma that "I'm a violent man, sweetheart. You can't forget that. " Gemma responded, "You're in control of any violence you create." That's what matters. You'd never hurt me." And that control was shown over and over in so many situations and I enjoyed that. And the sweetness and understanding that he showed towards Gemma when he got to know her was such an added plus.
This story kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat all the way through. I really enjoyed all the people who showed up to help Jethro. Funny, how Jethro kept telling them he didn't need their help. He was also worried that they would be targeted, injured or killed because of him. They continued to ignore him because hey, he was "family" whether he liked it or not. That made me smile every time that happened.
This was an ingenious plot with great people, brilliant villains and a good H.E.A. It also left me wanting more of this series.
