BLURB

Gemma Falls and her daughter, Trudy, are hiding from her ex. Her latest refuge is at DC University where she is temporarily taking the place of a good friend. Serena is also friends with Jethro, the sexy British professor who shares Gemma’s love for game theory. Jethro has his own vengeful stalker, but Gemma is a mystery he itches to solve, and soon her troubles also become his troubles.

MY THOUGHTS

Gemma and Jethro did not hit it off at first. She did her best to keep him at a distance and that just drew him in even more. Both are complex characters with haunting pasts that have finally caught up to them. The chemistry between them was sizzling and I loved how they worked together, even if it took a while to get there.

Jethro is trying to figure Gemma out, keep her safe, and fight off the authorities. Luckily, he has the Deep Ops team 110% behind him. Those are just the best people to have at your back and they adopted Jethro into their self-made family, whether he liked it or not. Jethro himself has some mad skills and between him and the MI6 twins, Wolf, and the other Deep Ops members, the action is fast-moving and nail-biting. And of course, Roscoe, who steals all the scenes.

It is a great story from start to finish and I can definitely recommend it if you like romantic suspense. This is book 5 in the Deep Ops series. Each one can be read on its own, although I think you’ll get more value from the series if you read them in order. Other books in this series: Taken, Fallen, Broken, and Driven.
