He’s known as the CIA’s top mercenary fixer. But he can’t fix this. Jacob SmithSeven years. Seven long miserable years since he’d ripped his heart from his chest and left it on her doorstep when he walked away from her. But, he’d had no choice. At least, he’d thought he hadn’t. He was too entrenched in the CIA’s underground world to safely ever have a wife and family. But now, after turning his … family. But now, after turning his CIA dealings into a very lucrative mercenary career, here he was, about to embark on a ten-day cruise with his cabin next to hers, not by coincidence—although she didn’t know it yet.
He wasn’t known as a ‘fixer’ for nothing. Maybe it was time to try to fix his broken heart, and hers—if she’d let him. And that was a big if, given how he’d shattered hers so long ago.

Reignited: Agents of Ensenada Book 3
I may need a new iPad after this series! The heat level just rose again in this second chance story about everyone’s favorite CIA fixer Jacob Smith and the love he walked away from 7 years ago Taren Fairchild.
Seven years ago Jacob walked away from Taren, he thought it was the best thing to do to keep her safe. The CIA had rules and his line of work could leave anyone related to him open to retaliation.
So he left, what he didn’t realize was not only would he break her heart he would break her emotionally. It took Taren a long time to work herself out of the depression and emotional grief she was going through, but when she did finally emerge she still wasn’t really herself. Jacob had arranged to have reports sent to him about her and when she finally started dating someone he figured she was fine. Of course she wasn’t really fine because she was constantly comparing her now ex-husband to Jacob, and if Jacob had ever bothered to look at himself, he wasn’t fine either.
It wasn’t until Jacob had recalled what (Mason)/Edward had said to Jacob, “Just because she moved on doesn’t mean he’s the better man for her. I guarantee no one could love Reagan better than me.” Recalling that made Jacob admit there was no doubt in his mind that the same could be said for how he loved Taren, he was the better man for her!
Convinced of his feelings for Taren, Jacob’s quest to convince her they could be together began. First, he needs to get her in a space where he can be close to her so he sends her anonymous tickets to a cruise and once the ship pulls away from the dock, the wooing of Taren begins!
With adjoining rooms, steamy hot sex and 24 hour attention while they cruise along the Mexican coast, it seems to Jacob he has a chance. Will Jacob win back not just Taren’s heart but her trust? Telling Taren the reason why he left her is just part of winning back her trust and now that Taren knows what Jacob did for the CIA and that he is now a private contractor can he give her what she needs?
In Book 3 Tess gives us two hearts that really do belong together but when a kidnapping occurs and Taren discovers how danger still might follow Jacob around, can she overcome her worries and let herself love and have total trust in Jacob again? You just have to read this and find out!
Added to this book, which I always love from an author is bonus Epilogue, so please don’t forget to look for the link to get this bonus, it’s a sweet end to the story!
This is the first time reading from this author. Over all I really liked the book. Stand-alone but part of a series.

Reignited is a second chance romance with a hint of suspense and intrigue.
Jacob and Taren had been as a couple before. Jacob is leaving Taren for a better job and apparently to keep her safe.
They meet on cruise seven years later. Their feelings are still there . Will they give themselves a second chance
Unfortunately for me I didn’t read previous books, but this one is standalone, and doesn’t reflect the others.

A well written, well developed, and engaging second chance romance! The story-line is emotionally deep, witty, fun, and interesting with some drama, trust issues, suspense, intrigue, passion, and ups and downs. The characters are amazing with intense, off the charts chemistry between them! Quite enjoyable. Definitely recommended!

Reignited is book three in the Ensenada Heat series. Each book is a standalone where it focuses on it’s own characters but to get to know the secondary characters….read and enjoy the series. This book is Jacob’s story. He had been a CIA agent for awhile and involved in cases that there is no way he would risk having a wife or starting a family. So it had now been seven years that he let the love of his life go. No longer a CIA agent but in the mercenary line of work, he books himself a ten day cruise. This is not just a vacation, he is hoping that it is his second chance with Taren. He booked this cruise and purposely booked the cabin next to hers. He has ten days with no where to run or hide time to convince her to try again. This is by far his toughest mission ever as everything is on the line for this one, eve his heart. Another great story for this series! Story as always is well written with some fun, some challenges and of course that steamy character chemistry that just cannot be denied. I am looking forward to reading more of this series. Enjoy!

Summer may be over but the heat is on! It’s sizzling hot! Wow this book gave us a little bit of everything and a lot more than we expected. Within these pages we experienced a reconnection, intrigue, mystery, drama, suspense, romance, HEAT (with a little something extra) friendship, longing, and self sacrifice, which may be my personal favorite. Yeah the last two are my favorites. I found myself sighing when Jacob let his longing side show. It takes a real man to be comfortable in himself to let it shine and flow. Make no mistake, he is all man. Then the self sacrifice well you have to read it to get all the juicy details. I loved Taren. She may be sprite but she’s mighty in her own way. Good things come in small packages and she proves that theory. She has her own hidden talents.
This is my first read of this series but I’m guessing certain characters in this book were in other books in the series. No worries it’s a standalone. I wasn’t thrown at all or confused. The only thing is now I want to read the other books. By the time I was done this book as the song says, I was feeling hot, hot, hot! Yup, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Was okay but not quite what I expected
Reignited is the third book in the Agents of Ensenada series and the first I have read. This is the second chance romance between Jacob and Taren who had first meet and fell in love ten years ago. They were in a serious relationship for three years until he left her without so much as a backwards glance. This was due to his job and the danger it put her in, but the man was an idiot. Now it is seven years later and he has changed his mind. So he comes back to win her heart again…..but will she want him after all these years?
This was a good story but I have to say that I really wanted to kick Jacob from here to eternity for what he did and how he did it. But then again I was not a huge fan of Taren either as she was a bit childish to me.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is the 3rd book in the Ensenada Heat Series and it was HOT! Jacob is a CIA mercenary “Fixer” and the best in the business. And according to Jake, that’s why “he get paid the big bucks!” Seven years ago he broke not only his heart, but Taren’s too. She was devastated when he left her with no explanation. Seven years later and newly divorced from her cheating husband, she receives a free 10 day cruise, all inclusive from an anonymous donor. Jacob is on a mission to get the love of his life back in his arms and in his life. He will not let her go a 2nd time. Little does Taren know that Jake is in the connecting cabin next door. This has a well written and suspenseful storyline and I absolutely loved the characters . There’s humor, drama, intrigue, suspense, longing, but also a love that never truly died. I have read the other books in this series, but I think this is my favorite. Highly recommend this book.
