FBI Special Agent Devin Lyons and Russian mob boss/FBI ally Andrei Panchenko have been at each others' throats for years. Literally. They've had their hands around the other's throat lots of times. When Andrei barely escapes a bold attempt on his life, government big shot James Jacobs decides to put Devin in charge of Andrei's safety. After all, who better to keep the Russian alive than the man who wants to do the killing himself?

Devin Lyons hates Andrei Panchenko. It's one of the things in his life that he can count on. Until he's forced to spend time with the ridiculously beautiful and sexy man. Seeing the "real" Andrei turns Devin's world upside down until he's not sure whether he wants to kill Andrei or make love to him.
A common enemy of both men is determined that neither will have the chance to do anything except die. When a life-changing secret is revealed, will the resulting fallout bring the two men together or separate them forever?
Someone has ordered a hit on Andrei Panchenko. When he manages to escape the first attempt on his life unscathed, James Pruitt sends Agent Lyon's to Russia to be his bodyguard. Devin Lyons hates Panchenko with a passion. The only thing he hates more is the thought of someone, other than himself, ending his life. As the story unfolds we travel through three countries, delve into the past Lyon's can't remember, and learn of the future Panchenko longs for.
The sexual tension between these two is so think, you could cut it with a knife. And yet, they fight it. In an almost comical war for domination Andrei refuses to change his life in the wake of the attempt on his life, and Devin is determined to provide the protection he needs. Shadowing his every move, Devin learns there is more to Andrei than meets the eye. His tough exterior is fading and Andrei manages to get a little more under his armour everyday. Little by little they chip away at the other's over bearing exterior, the facade they present, the supposed hate that only goes skin deep. Let's just say their idea of foreplay is a sparring match where fists and clothes are flying, and blood as well as some sexy sensual kisses are exchanged. When the dust settles, which man will wind up on top (pun intended!)?
I blew through this book in one setting! Every book in this series has managed to not only grab my attention from the start, but hold my attention until the very end. At the end of every installment I find myself anxiously awaiting the next, I seriously hope this series never ends! Gasq-Dion manages to hold true to the series by including updates with a lot of our favorite characters, and yet add's something fresh and new to the mix by uncovering Lyon's elusive past. As well as a sneak peak at "The Nik of Time" book 17, out April 1st 2013.
And now, my "dream cast" for Devin Lyons and Andrei Panchenko (giveaway details to follow).

FBI special agent Devin Lyons
My vision of uber sexy "special" FBI agent Devin Lyons would be Ryan Reynolds. Lyons is dry, whitty, sarcastic and concieted. He carries himself with an assured sexiness and skirts the boundries of what is unforgivable. Even his fellow FBI agent and best friend Keegan will tell you the man is clearly psychotic. The elite team that makes up The Skull Blasters, the shifters and the Russian mob all want Lyon's on their team when the shit hit's the fan!

Deleteawesome! thanks Tammy. it's still in transit (from US to SEAsia). will probably get it this month. i'll let you know as soon as i have it. :)
DeletePreston and Wyatt are my favourite couple them having to stay away from each other Wyatt having to keep hope that he had a mate when every one is telling him he hasn't Preston having to stay away from the one person he wants to be with is so romantic to me
ReplyDeleteOh I totally agree, they are my favorite couple aside from Devin and Andrei. That was my favorite book of the series as well, I think because all the books leading up to eat hinted and shared their story; so when they finally had their moment it was sweet and satisfying!
DeletePerfect dream cast.
ReplyDeleteVince and KEegan were my favorite couple followed closely Devin and Andrei
ReplyDeleteMy favorite couple so far is Tristan and Scott. Those 2 men are amazing. In all fairness though, this is one of the hardest questions! The men that Sandrine has created are all amazing and every new book she releases makes me fall in love with them all a little more!
ReplyDeleteI love all the couples. But, I have to say I'm still in love with Riley and Matteo. I like the way they are involved with every couple. Cannot wait for April 1st.
