Justin Mallory has years
of bad decisions to make up for, starting with agreeing to join the CIA after
being recruited out of the marines. Now, he chooses the jobs, and he works
alone. It’s safer that way, and he can make sure the good guy always wins.
But this job...he can’t do
alone. Two pharmaceutical researchers are dead, and a dangerous drug is on the
cusp of winning FDA approval if he doesn’t track down the culprit behind the
lies and murders.
Gabriel Prescott is a
well-trained, efficient, and cold-blooded killer. After a brutal betrayal left
his lover dead, Gabriel is out only for himself. But when this lucrative
contract lands in his lap, he can’t pass it up. Even if it means working with
the unpredictable and insane Justin Mallory.
Dodging bullets and secret
meetings find them depending on each other. And one hot, frantic night together
leads to a hidden sweetness...and questions of whether they could possibly have
something more.

I love books with unique,
non-run of the mill characters so when I can pick up a crime family or mercenaries,
I grab it. Justin is working for himself and his handler brings him a very high
dollar case, that will help him get closer to his goals of getting out of the
business. At first, he isn't interested, then when he hears the amount, he
can't pass it up. Two doctors have been killed over their research for a cancer
cure and someone wants him to find out who murdered them and to take that
person out as well. However, it is not a one-man job and his handler has just
the man for him.... maybe in more ways than one.
Gabriel is sexy with an
accent and also a mercenary and they tiptoe around each other at first but soon
give into attraction.
I loved both of these men;
the storyline was pretty good if not a bit underdeveloped but still interesting
enough. I loved the peek into Gabriel’s past and would have liked more of
Justin's. I did love the end and want the next book ASAP.
I love Kenneth Obi's
narration. I loved the slight accent and the voice of Justin that was not a
tough growly man's voice. I felt it gave him more relatability.
It started with a battered
notebook. Jocelynn Drake wrote her first story when she was 12 years old. It
was a retelling of Robin Hood that now included a kickass female who could keep
up with all the boys and be more than just a sad little love interest. From
there, she explored space, talked to dragons, and fell in love again and again
and again.
This former Kentucky girl has moved up, down, and across the U.S. with her
patient husband. They've settled near the Rockies...for now. She spends the
majority of her time lost in the strong embrace of a good book.
When she's not hammering away at her keyboard or curled up with a book, she can
usually be found cuddling with her cat Demona, walking her dog Ace, or flinging
curses at the TV while playing a video game. Outside of books, furry babies,
and video games, she is completely enamored of Bruce Wayne, Ezio Auditore,
travel, tattoos, explosions, and fast cars.
She is the author of the urban fantasy series: The Dark Days series and the
Asylum Tales. She is also working on a gay romantic suspense series called The
Exit Strategy. She has also co-authored with Rinda Elliot the following series:
Unbreakable Bonds, Ward Security, and Pineapple Grove. She can be found at her
