He’ll do whatever it takes… and she knows it Black ops assassin Eli Wayne may work for a company that cares only about money, but when Zoey Martin asks for his help following her brother’s disappearance, compensation is the last thing on his mind. With a multimillion-dollar bounty on Zoey’s brother’s head, though, they’ll have to fight to reach him before he’s killed–especially since Eli’s … since Eli’s own company is after the money.

Harlequin books are always helpful with the Cast of Characters at the beginning, not only for those who have not read the previous books, but also too those who have, but need a reminder. Perhaps because I did not read the previous books, I had a hard time empathizing or relating at all to either Zoey Martin or Eli Wayne. Zoey’s family owns a private government contracting company. She and Eli had worked together in the field, and become lovers, but when she miscarried their baby, she shoved him out the door and he went to work for the competition. She shattered his heart- and closed off her own. But now her brother Chad is missing, and Eli’s company has put a hit out on him. So Eli accepts the contract so he can keep both Chad and Zoey safe. I love second chance stories, but when they left the family ranch, without making arrangements for the horses, my mind kept doubling back to “who is taking care of Sarge?”. Why bring him up and then abandon him?
Her Assassin For Hire by Danica Winters
Have totally enjoyed this series and the books and stories just keep getting better and better.
Starts with a brief summary of the book and praise from other readers, Book listings are highlighted by series and I also find I can read them in any order and can start with the 3rd book and not be lost as you are brought up to date on past events…
Love the cast of characters as I just read a book in this series a month ago and have read some other 300 books so it’s awesome to catch up with who is who.
Starts with Zoey and she’s putting on a fashion show to not only highlight the garments STEALTH currently makes and is marketing but the weapons as well.
She does not let a minute slip by that she relates her story about her sister that is now dead and how some of the items would’ve prevented her death. She also notices her ex, Eli is in the audience when she takes a bullet. It’s all a stunt as she’s protected but she takes a hand from him to get up as she continues her speech to the audience.
After she leaves she is on high alert to be sure she’s not being followed. On the ranch she heads to the barn and the horses and is captured but she’s able to escape with help…
They combine forces and hightail it to Spain where she’s noticed Chad was in a video.
Love all the action and adventures there and sensual romance and sex scenes, new places for me to discover the secrets that lurk behind them as a couple, update on other family members.
They are also tangled up in another mess of things when they summon help. Love the ending and the promise they made to one another after they were captured.
Love the tech work she is able to do to find all kinds of useful information-so so so observant.
Excerpt from The Final Secret by Cassie Miles is also attached at the end.
Next book is this series will be out in March.
I received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
