Spies, intrigue, action, danger…it’s all delightfully packed into this wonderful book. Katie kept me riveted. I know I’d like the book by the bottom of the first page, Colt “Wasn’t sure how to respond to most things that came out of Skye’s mouth–a woman who carried C4 in her purse and called it ‘being prepared,’ as if she was a freaking Boy Scout.” Oh I loved this book!
CIA agents, Colt Stuart (former SEAL) and Skye Arevalo (child of deceased spies) are partnered together and the sparks fly. They were made for each other. They are so in sync they communicate on the job with looks and anticipate the same next move. Then a job Skye is on goes FUBAR and she’s dead! Colt knows he’ll never be the same again and his job taking out the scum of the earth, aka terrorists, becomes his life. One of his best friends wife dies on a medical mercy mission and Colt get word she may be alive. He goes rogue and takes off to Columbia to rescue her alone. While digging through clues she’s rescued by an unknown woman…who could only be Skye buy the skill it took. She faked her death to protect Colt and his friends! And the story takes off. Loved the adventure, the dance of reconciliation and forgiveness.
Katie is one of the best authors in this genre, not that I’ve read much. I’m new to it but I know when I pick up a Katie Reus book it’s gonna be a great one. Thanks for the ARC so I could have the privilege of reviewing it for you.
Other quotes I loved:
“Every time you talk about your dad, you have a tone. Like…I don’t know, I guess I expected his house to look like the Death Star or something.” Resurrection Ch. 16
“Senior look startled, but nodded. ‘I love the smell of gun oil.’ ‘You like weapons?’ She snorted. ‘That’s like asking if Santa likes Christmas.” Resurrection Ch. 16
Fourteen months ago they were new CIA partners, which quickly became more. Eight months later Skye faked her own death to save Colt and everyone he holds dear. But when she comes out of hiding just long enough to help one of Colt’s best friends escape kidnappers she sets in motion a chain of events that will put all of them in danger. And there is one person who will hunt her down for her betrayal if he finds out she’s still alive.
Colt has been a spy for the CIA for several years but he lost the best partner, and love of his life, months ago. When intel shows that the kidnapped wife of one of his best friend’s may still be alive in Mexico Colt boards the next flight, unwilling to let his buddy go through what he did. But someone else beats Colt to it and this has all the earmarks of a certain woman they all believed to be dead.
As a group of spies and best friends come together to help two of their own, the greed of one man will put all their lives in danger.
RESURRECTION is an engrossing 2nd chance romantic suspense that will capture your interest from the start. Skye Arévalo returns from the dead (figuratively) to save Colt Stuart’s life-long friend from a Mexican cartel. It’s been 6 months since Colt lost the love of his life, and if you thought finding her alive was a surprise, wait until you read the rest of their story. This is a captivating and engrossing read that will keep you thoroughly enthralled. All the characters are well drawn, and the storyline is filled with gripping drama, riveting intrigue, compelling suspense, and steamy passion. All the right elements for the perfect romantic suspense.
I general love everything Ms Reus writes and this was no exception! Great characters. Perfect set of Alpha males for at least 5 more books. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved that there were dual storylines and I loved reading about Colt and his close knit group of friends. I love that they’ve all grown up together and that there’s so much history. Colt is a strong hero with a heart of gold. He’s everything you want in a leading man.
Skye is a freakin’ boss! She is a tough woman with a snarky mouth and wicked sense of humor. She’s also harboring a lot of secrets. Skye is confident, mysterious and very dangerous. I wanted to be Skye! Colt and Skye had great chemistry and are brilliant characters together as well as apart.
The story was fast-paced, exciting and engaging. What I really liked about the book is the mystery surrounding every character. Everyone’s got hidden depths or perplexing pasts that both intrigue and warn you away from. I must know more about them. The secondary characters are vital to the story.
RESURRECTION definitely captured my attention and held it tightly until the very end. I’m looking forward to the next book!

Skye is a delightful heroine put in a horrible situation. She had to disappear to save the lives of everyone she loved.
Can the love she hurt deeply survive?
Totally worth reading. Interesting characters, plot and world-building!
What an awesome read! I absolutely loved everything about this book!
Colt’s woman died eight months ago in a warehouse explosion. He’s doing what he has to do to get through and right now that’s helping out a friend whose wife was reported as dead. However, Colt’s got a lead that she’s not and he’s headed to Mexico to check it out.
Skye had to fake her death in order to protect not only Colt but those around him he calls family. She’s had a very unconventional childhood which led to an unconventional life and one of the best things about it is Colt. She must do what is necessary to secure his safety as well as those he loves.
Even after her “death” she finds herself needing to ensure that Colt’s friend is safe and in doing so she places herself directly into his path.
I absolutely loved this couple! Their relationship wasn’t the typical alpha hero/sweet heroine. While he’s definitely all man, she’s more than capable of taking him down if needed. Theirs is an equal opportunity affair and I loved the dynamics of it.
Skye is tough and capable but she never comes off as overbearing or too sassy. She’s confident in her skin and her job. Colt definitely has protective, possessive tendencies but he’s also aware that Skye is a bit skittish and he’s careful to treat her accordingly. Together they set my Kindle on fire and my heart racing.
Resurrection is full of action and drama, great secondary characters that I’m sure we’re going to see more of, and some incredibly sexy moments. I’m excited about this series and curious to see who will win Olivia and Valencia’s hearts.
Enjoyed it. Great story.
Love it when we have a hero, who had to fake their death and comes bak.
The heart wants what it wants. A long journey back to what was important. Characters are intense and some are quirky.
I loved this book so much I immediately bought the net one in the series. Colt and Skye are awesome characters and loved the entire “friend/family” group. Family doesn’t have to be blood related and this proved it.
First time reading this author and I loved it! Of course, we get the love story, and it is connected with a GROUP of best friends of our male main character. Lots of action with strong sexy men and women. A little more sexy explanations than I prefer, but what a wonderful story!
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wow! This is one of the most well written complete novels i’ve read in a long time. Cartels, u.s. government bad guys, bad-ass super women and the men who love them unconditionally. And justice is served on a silver platter (along with pizza).
What an exciting and moving story! It has great characters and is well written! A very enjoyable read!
Original, exciting and a glimpse into life of a military spy. Good read and exciting ending. Loved it.
This was a great story of what someone will do for the love of family.
Dangerous situations force the characters to rely on each other. Tolerance turns into something more
I could not put this book down. It was entertaining and leads into other storylines for more books to read.
A great read
