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 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.
My Review:
Rating: 5/5 stars
I absolutely adored this book! It is definitely my favourite in the series so far! Finding out what we did at the end of the last book meant that this one had so much more meaning. This book and the rest of the series was self published and I felt like you could tell McGuire was no longer held back! We have spicy scenes five pages in! Thomas being the oldest brother (each book focuses on one of the brothers) meant that this book was the most mature and reflected that.
Liis is such a great main character and is so fierce and independent which I really love to see! And she didn't have to compromise on that with the love interest (Thomas). Watching their relationship twist and change made for a great read. Again, I love how McGuire links all the books and the situations involved in each book! This book has me even more excited to continue on to the next three in the series!
