BOOK REVIEW- Royal Reckoning (The Keeper's Series #5) by Stephanie St. Klaire

   

Rogue operative, Eli Clayton has finally met his match. Now he just has to keep her alive... even if it means revealing his true identity.

Event coordinator to the rich and famous, Cally Stark is immune to Eli’s dazzling charm and dangerous good looks. But that doesn’t stop her from falling for him and building a life—
on a throne of lies.

Eli’s secrets have made Cally the perfect target and she finds herself lured into enemy territory, taken and used in an elaborate and twisted scheme to take down Eli’s entire bloodline.

What do you do when the woman you vowed to protect is a pawn trapped in a deadly game? You go to the ends of the earth to save her and eliminate the players one by one.

Check mate.

This jaw dropping, pulse pounding series is sure to leave you breathless as the wicked twists and turns
keep you guessing!
 BOUGHT AT-
3 STARS 
To be honest, this story was hard for me to get into.    But to be fair,  maybe part of the problem was that this was the first book I have read in this series.  I found it all a bit confusing.  I did like the direct team members and their family like cohesion. However, after that it just seemed to add more people, making it harder to keep up. I recognized that it had depth to the writing, both in the emotions, the technology and the warfare.   Early on there was also some repetitiveness to how much Eli hated his evil father and how he had good reason to.  A bit too much for my taste. 
There is a whirlwind of action and surprises towards the end with a H.E.A. for now for  Eli and Cally.  Why just for now?  Because there is more trouble possible on the horizon.
  I'm  just sorry that I couldn't seem to connect to the story.
