This book is the first in a new series. Several characters ( the members of Hunter's task force team) are introduced right off the bat. They have a funny sense of humor and the team camaraderie reads very strong. After returning from a disastrous mission overseas, a connection is found in the U.S. linking back to the terrorist they had been tracking. Jake and his team are sent undercover back to his hometown where he is expected to get in with the suspect in any way possible. The only problem is that the suspect is Evie, Hunter's former lover. He has tried to convince himself over the years that he hates her, but if sleeping with her will get him the answers he needs, he has no problem with it. What Hunter doesn't know is that after he left her, Evie chose a man on the rebound and ended up in a sickly abusive relationship. She got out but still lives in terror of her ex. Now, her ex has leveraged her cooperation with something illegal, and she can't find a safe way out of it. When Hunter throws himself into the mix, things become just as dangerous as they are complicated. He quickly realized Evie isn't the criminal he was led to believe, but will she still want him after she finds out why he sought her out in the first place?
This book was wall to wall action. Once the danger hit, it never slowed down. I was actually late leaving my house this morning because there was no way I could stop reading at 95%. I absolutely had to know how it was going to end. A little blurb at the end of the epilogue caught me by surprise and made me very excited about the next book. Lindsay Cross is absolutely going on my favorite authors list.
I received an ARC from Net Galley.
