Mia is an accountant and people start dying after she finds a file in her office that isn’t hers. Ben is a Navy Seal who is set up on a blind date by Wolf and Caroline and never has a blind date been so “deadly”. This action packed story is the 1st book in the new 13 series and it is a perfect introduction to some of the continuing characters Ben, Tink (love him). The chemistry is off the chart and if you are not a fan of insta protective alpha love this might be the wrong book for you. As Ben realizes that Mia is being targeted as well as himself they go into hiding to solve the mystery. Mia is an independent heroine who keeps her wits about her. She is witty, resourceful, and no shrinking violet. She works just as hard as the guys to solve the mystery. I loved this start to a new series and can’t wait to see what the author has in store next.
MIA was a great action-packed adventure loaded with humor, suspense, danger, intrigue, romance as well as Navy SEALs who take no prisoners and a feisty, smart woman who stands her ground and makes sure her voice is heard and is included in on the action. I loved Mia. She was out of her element, thrust into a world she did not know how to navigate with information she did not know what to do with, she handled the many obstacles and situations thrown her way with a level head and trusted Ben and his friends to keep her safe. And even though she was afraid for her life, she willing jumped all in to help them sort out the puzzle and stop the bad guys. She never intentionally put herself in harm’s way and listened to Ben and the others’ directions for her safety. Ben and the rest of the SEALs were great characters, as well. He goes out of his way to help a woman he just met and with his friends’ help to stop terrorist activity and protect Mia. As they try to keep one step ahead of the bad guys to solve the mystery surrounding the deaths of her colleagues, the attempt on her life, and why the files she was given are so important to some powerful people the chemistry simmering between her and Ben turns into a sweet romance. Overall this was a great read that will grab your interest from the beginning and hold it throughout the story.
