This is a well written romance full of action, suspense and steam. I loved Emmet and Bailey together. What a way to find out you father cares and wants to protect you… in the middle of a kidnapping. Great story and I hope we get more of Emmet and Bailey in a future book.
It was a good story with a very good balance of action, romance and humor.
I liked the background story of Bailey and all the reasons she grew up the way she did. The chemistry between the two characters is multi-leveled because they needed to work some issues before they could be honest with each other.
Although the book could be read as quickly as possible because of the action, it could be explored for all the hidden thought-provoking gems too.
Emmet and Bailey become a team when her father tasks Emmet to watch out for her. There are international destinations and intrigue as well as a hefty dose of steam. A hint of a part two for a continuation occurs.

Being plain and wishing for adventure is just what Baily Monroe got; although it wasn’t what she truly wished for. The interactions between Bailey and Emmet lead to some of the most heart wrenching scenes while those with her father, Hank, will have you wanting to cry and scream on her behalf. A good romance and semi-mystery story.

This was such a fun read. There was plenty of action and romance, it reminded me of those action movies designed to be a date movie so it has a fun romance to go with it; ie. Knight and Day and Mr. and Mrs. Smith at least those were the two movies that I kept thinking about when reading this book. Tmonique Stephens is fantastic when it comes to keeping her readers in suspense with the happenings of the bad guys trying to get the good guys but she also is fantastic when it comes to the romance. Both characters were easy for me to connect with and empathize with; told in a third person POV with alternating focus between Emmet and Bailey you see both sides of their story; which I always prefer. The story is a great one, Bailey was raised without her father, the few times she did see him he scared the crap out of her and then showed nothing but disappointment. Bailey was taught how to take care of herself trained in martial arts and weapons but when her father makes enemies with someone who use to be a friend Bailey’s life is at risk and her father only trusts one person to do the job of protecting her, Emmet Streeter. The story was full of excitement and the romance was hawt. The end some might call a cliffhanger but it’s more of a teaser of what’s to come because we are nowhere finished with Bailey and Emmet.
All around is a bit confusing but you can expect that with hitman/spies story. Not a big fan of the daddy issues direction Bailey have.
