If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. But what if he didn’t love you, first?
No-nonsense Liis Lindy is an agent of the FBI. Deciding she is married only to her job, she breaks off her engagement and transfers from Chicago to the field office in San Diego. She loves her desk. She is committed to her laptop. She dreams of promotions and shaking hands with the director after cracking an … cracking an impossible case.
Special Agent in Charge Thomas Maddox is arrogant, unforgiving, and ruthless. He is tasked with putting away some of the world’s toughest criminals, and he is one of the best the Bureau has to offer. Though, as many lives as he’s saved, there is one that is beyond his reach. Younger brother Travis is faced with prison time for his involvement in a basement fire that killed dozens of college students, and the media want a conviction. Travis’s only savior is his unusual tie to the mob. In a deal that will spare his brother, Thomas has agreed to recruit Travis into the FBI.
Liis is stubborn, defiant, and yet somehow softens Thomas’s rough edges, making her the perfect agent to accompany him to the ceremony. Posing as a couple, they must travel to Travis & Abby’s beach vow renewal and give him the news, but when the pretending ends, she finds herself wondering if they were pretending at all.
In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the last.

Move over Travis because I think I found my favourite Maddox brother. Thomas has sacrificed so much, starting with his childhood as he raised his four brothers after their mother died and his father checked out on them for awhile. He then lives with the guilt he feels over hiding his job from his family and also falling in love with the one girl …
Thomas is the odd brother out. He didn’t participate in the fighting like his brothers did, he doesn’t look like any of them either, and he has the most secrets. Meet Liis, she takes no prisoners and doesn’t let her small stature mean others can walk over her. She is a spitfire! Thomas and Liis must work together, but seem to butt heads every step …
Finishing a series you started is hard.
I loved these characters before but it has been a while and as much as I wanted to love this book I was struggling to get through it.
The beginning was great, getting to know Liis and Thomas as themselves without pasts was fine. It was when we find out about Thomas’ ex that is when the childish drama …
Enjoyable book to read on a lazy afternoon. Good character development and storyline with a predictable happy-ever-after ending. Throw in the Titanic & you kick it up a notch!
4 Stars!
FAVORITE MADDOX BROTHER!
Thomas is my favorite Maddox brother, so far. Sorry Travis fans. 🙁 Travis was a bit too whiny for me. I wish I could give the book 5 stars, but I hate that Thomas was still pining for Camille. I didn’t particularly care for her in Beautiful Oblivion and Thomas could do so much better. I couldn’t understand her …
This was really enjoyable, just like all the Maddox books are so far, but I feel like it was a bit of a filler to explain the FBI and Travis involvement better than it did in the previous books that mentioned it. I feel like it didn’t have enough of the love story like the others did. It was all about the FBI and people pushing each other way. …
