Captain Colt Mitchell is part of the elite Griffin Force team hunting down terrorist Nazer al-Raimi. After an attack on the Canadian Parliament buildings, the team gets good intel on Nazer’s whereabouts. They plan to grab him, but when the mission goes wrong, Colt is captured and dragged away.

But how deep is she in the operation and can she help Colt escape?

After the devastating attack on Canadian soil, Brenna is recruited to go undercover to find out what Nazer is planning next. She’s close to her goal until her former flame Colt Mitchell is taken hostage. Walking away from him has always been her biggest regret and she knows she has to save him, even if it blows her mission. Taking matters into her own hands, she pulls off a daring escape, but Colt and Brenna must learn to trust each other again if they want to stay alive. With their hearts and their lives on the line can they survive long enough to stop Nazer from ravaging another country’s sense of security?

My Review ♥️

From the beginning I was on the edge of my seat. Julie Coulter Bellon has an incredible way of pulling you into that world, realistically detailing the gruesomeness and torture of terrorism, but doing it in a way that puts your focus more on the characters and their unique situations than on violent details. The chemistry between Colt and Brenna is magnetic, and watching how they both wrestle with their feelings for one another while dealing with one of the scariest situations anyone could possibly face is mesmerizing.

Well written with an abundance of action, suspense, and the perfect pace, I devoured this novel within hours. Sadly this is something that could actually happen, and most likely does happen, which ran through my mind the entire time I was reading.

A heart pounding read from start to finish that was exciting to devour and was over way too fast, I loved this book!

My Rating: ★★★★★
