I have no idea why I do this to myself, but Until the End by Juno Rushdan is not only the third novel in her Final Hour romantic suspense series, it's also the first time I've read anything by this author. While I was eventually able to pick up some of the plot threads and characters who were clearly featured in the first two novels, starting at the end of a series this multi-layered and complex, with this many characters, this many code names, involving this many acronym agencies, both good and bad, overt and covert, the many plots and subplots, and the fact that this story is told from many individual points of view, is not something I'd recommend. Yes, it can be read as a standalone--I'm proof of that, but since this novel hits the ground running from the very first page, I was at a loss to understand much of what was going on and who was who for way too long, which is one of the reasons I can only give this novel a 4-star rating.

The main characters (the good guys & gals) are Castle Kinkade, who works for a convert black ops agency known as The Gray Box, and Katherine (Kit) Westcott, an independently wealthy computer programmer and ace hacker, who formed her own covert agency known as The Outliers, are both intelligent, hard-working, exceedingly loyal to their friends, employers, fellow operatives, and both take their roles very seriously. They are likable enough, especially Castle, but I found it very difficult to warm up to Kit, and throughout the novel I kept asking myself why. I generally like feisty, sassy, smart females with minds of their own, yet in this novel, no matter how sympathetic her plight, I found that she simply lacked something, and while I liked her better by the end of the novel, and was rooting for her, I still felt that disconnect.

The backbone of this story is obvious from the start, as a supposedly secret shipment of biological weapons, including anthrax and a newly engineered one, Z-1984, that is right out of a zombie horror movie, en route from Nexcellogen to Fort Detrick has been hijacked. Who stole the bioweapons, where to find and retrieve them, and what kind of terrorism they will be used for is the crux of the matter.

Kit and her Outliers created a program, Ever Shield, that The Gray Box wants to get their hands on. It's purpose is to prevent the government or anyone else from hacking into personal computers in their ongoing attempt to use the the internet and dark web to ferret out terrorist cells, ignoring the right to privacy guaranteed to all Americans by the U.S. Constitution. Kit's Outliers group is aware that the government is spying on them, and when they somehow manage to discover the information about the bioweapons theft, The Gray Box group, and it's leader, Sanborn, wants to get his hands not only on Ever Shield, but on Kit and the hard drives she grabbed before going on the run and into hiding. Slowly but surely, all of Kit's team of Outliers have been killed--Kit is the last one alive, and she's running for her life. A meet is planned at a Washington, D.C. park, and it doesn't take long before the bullets start flying. She's rescued from certain death by Castle, who she soon learns is Sanborn's mentee, and while she's attracted to the handsome agent and he to her, who do you trust when everyone you know doesn't seem the least bit trustworthy? Do you tell the truth or lie as a form of self-protection--especially when this complicated tale involves agents, counter-agents, code names, terrorists, spies, black ops, and horrific bioweapons?

Although this novel is billed as romantic suspense, and yes, there is some graphic sex and romantic involvement between more than just the main characters, it reads as more of a suspense/mystery/thriller than a romance. There's plenty of action, more harrowing twists than are found in a box of rotini pasta, and a denouement that was totally unexpected, at least by this reader. There's also the expected HEA ending for the main characters, but some of the secondary characters are still left in a sort of limbo, with the future of the Gray Box and its mission still in question. There is an epilogue, but I wish Ms. Rushden had included more than just the HEA ending for Kit and Castle.

Although this novel is certainly well-written, with an engrossing and ultra-complicated plot and multiple sub-plots, what hampered my enjoyment somewhat was that I kept wishing I'd read the first two novels in this series before reading this one. If action/thrillers are something you enjoy reading, I think you'll enjoy Until the End, but I strongly suggest reading the novels in this series in the order they were written.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this novel. The opinions expressed are my own.

i really enjoyed this one! it was fast paced and captivating. well written and juno really excels at combining everything.
i definitely enjoyed the romance more in the first and second books (especially the second) and though i enjoyed the suspense in the first two, this one was way more edge of your seat/rollercoaster/jaw dropping twist.

there was one random line about another character liking Doc that gave me suspicions about you-know-who (i've read too many romance series lol, i was like he's either going to die or be the bad guy) but i was still absolutely shocked. i could not put it down after that, i had to know what happened... that being said, i feel like it was such a huge twist, so edge of your seat, so gut wrenching that it took away from the romance.

I liked Castle and Kit together, but it was a wee bit too insta love for me, i felt like their relationship was just developing and then it was overshadowed by everything else and then all of a sudden they were declaring their love. I really liked Castle but it took me a bit to warm up to Kit. I liked them together, like I said I would have liked a bit more development but it was fine. I don't think we could have gotten more time with them without the book becoming messy or underdeveloped in other areas. there was just a lot going on.

also, I do feel like we got more of the bad guy's POVs than normal and maybe that contributed to feeling like the romance was overshadowed.

overall, it sounds like i didn't like it, not at all. i thought it was really good and unputdownable. i love this author's writing and i'm super excited to see where this series goes, for some reason i thought it was a trilogy but surely it will continue or have a spin off right? i want to see HEAs for other characters.

A fantastic third book to Juno Rushdan's Final Hour series. I have been waiting on pins and needles to hear Castle's story, and I am so completely satisfied! This Trekkie-loving badass might just be one of my favorite Gray Box team members. And his romantic entanglement with the fierce and sassy Kit is such a delicious trope for opposites attracting. I loved both the main characters, and their chemistry together was amazing.

There were some twists I did NOT see coming. And, as always, Juno Rushdan's snarky, talented writing blew me away. I've been a huge fan since book one, and I can't wait to keep reading pretty much anything she writes.

This novel could be read as a standalone, but I definitely think everyone should read all three books. It's one of my favorite romantic suspense series.

Thank you to NetGalley and to Sourcebooks Casablanca for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

This review was originally posted on <a href="http://booksofmyheart.net/2020/05/29/until-the-end-by-juno-rushdan/" target="_blank"> Books of My Heart</a>
&nbsp;

<i>Review copy was received from NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.</i>

I found Juno Rushdan by reading the Sourcebooks sampler of romantic suspense novellas, <strong>Turn the Tide</strong> and went quickly on to request <strong>Every Last Breath.</strong> The <em><strong><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/251229-final-hour" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Final Hour</a> </strong></em>series is about a covert black ops team with both analysts / computer hackers and tactical fighters / assassins.  In <b>Until the End</b> , the team works to track down stolen bio-weapons and some hackers who were involved somehow.  I'm not quite sure how the hackers were involved, maybe in locating information for the theft.

Kit is the female in our couple to be. She's a wealthy heiress, supporting a hacker team.  Her personal skills are only fair, but she is providing them a place to belong. Apparently, she also has a heart condition which seemed very strange for someone her age and one of the medications she used seemed wrong.  I didn't understand her unwillingness to work with GrayBox because on her own she was going to die for sure. The situation was extremely dangerous and volatile, similar to the rest of this series.

Castle is a great operative and I love his smart and well-trained actions.  I appreciate how he is protective of Kit and his skill at working with her, even when she is difficult.  I'm not sure I found the romance quite believable but stranger things have happened in dire circumstances.

I enjoyed seeing more of the whole team, and a bit of people from previous books. I would read these in order to understand some of the more intricate plotting. The plot here was very twisty and in fact, a total detonation with a new story arc if the series continues.  I'd like to see more in this thrilling series with competent operatives and a new romance in each book.

&nbsp;

I love this series. Castle is known for being tough and getting the job done. Kit throws him off kilter because he's not expecting her to have her own idea of how to stay safe. The journey takes lots of twists and turns and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is also a big surprise that I never saw coming. I highly recommend this book.

Until the End is Juno Rushdan’s third book in the Final Hour Series. I have read all of this series. To say it is addictive only begins to say how much I have loved all of the books. Gray Box operative Castle Kinkade now has his story. While each of the stories have twists that you don’t see coming, none have more or any as surprising as Until the End. The romance is hot and strong but never overshadows the main story.

The story starts out with a bang setting up the plot as to why Castle with his special skills are needed. Then there is so much more to Kit Westcott then first seen. I am always amazed at the pairing of characters in this series. The characters of this series have strong distinctiveness and originality so that they are unforgettable. I read a lot and many times the characters from the books can run together but not the Gray Box operatives with their loves to what happens to them. The romance is part of the story but not the main story line with the reason for the danger to the characters and to national security.

Then there are characters and events that you think you understand how they all fit together in this story but for one missing identity. It is the revelation of that one person ¾ or so of the way through the book that had me saying, “Wow, I never saw that coming!”. Yet looking back I can see how Ms. Rushdan gave breadcrumbs along the way, small breadcrumbs but there none the less. The plot is just that solid so that all the intricate pieces fall clearly together in the conclusion. Thrilling, action-packed and romantic. Scary, too but only because it is so believable.

Juno Rushdan is a newer author for me with this series being the only one I have read written by her. Now she is a go-to author for me. Perhaps Until the End could be read as a stand-alone but I can’t imagine why anyone would read just one. Like the potato chip commercial of old, you just can’t stop at one with this series. Top notch all the way.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A page turner of a read that had me glued to the pages as Castle a Gray Operative, which is a secret black ops group with lots of liberties, saves Kit, a white hat hacker when she is targeted by a group with just as many deadly skills as Castle. The race is on to find out who is targeting Kit and who killed her family of white hats, as well as find the information on computer drives she took after the massacre which lead to the murders.
A great read with some steam, plenty of suspense and action, betrayals, twists and turns, surprises and past characters returning. I was a bit lost on who was who at times since I only read one previous book but it didn’t take anything away from the story and I knew a few of the characters since I read No Way Out which helped in understanding some of the relationships with the characters. I really liked Castle and how he matures emotionally with Kit, he also made me swoon and sigh many times. Kit was too stubborn at times, but I did like her and when all secrets are shared between them, they were good together.
Overall the read was really great and the ending was a HUGE surprise....O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive....
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
What a ride this series has been. Everything truly comes together in this series conclusion.
Once again Rushdan keeps the story packed with action and suspense. Rushdan has a way of writing action and fight scenes where I can actually keep track of what's happening instead of feeling like I'm looking at a blurry action scene in a movie. Everything in the story has a purpose in the plot and I appreciate the attention to details. Plus her writing flows naturally. I get sucked into the story by the first chapter everytime. Her characters feel real and so does the danger they find themselves in.
Castle and Kit were a delight. Their relationship felt different than the previous two couples. They had more of a battle of wills and a bridge of trust to establish before romance develops. The relationship, despite the chaos surrounding them, never felt forced or rushed. Castle and Kit certainly earn their happily ever after by the story's end. (Also Castle gives Kit the cutest pet name ever that made me laugh out loud!)
I am so happy that I read this series and wished this wasn't the end. I hope Rushdan either continues the series in some way (a spinoff maybe?). Either way I'm eager to get my hands on whatever Rushdan writes next.

I loved this book. Kit and Castle have great chemistry and I enjoyed following along on their journey. This book is filled with suspense, action and some romance. This is a spy novel with romance and I couldn't put it down! This is an excellent book to pick up this summer.

It did not take me long to fly through this fast-paced book and I read the second half more-or-less in a single sitting. These books certainly keep you on the edge of your seat and this one was no exception. I enjoyed the romantic storyline a bit more in the first and second novels in this series, but I think I enjoyed the suspense storyline a bit more in this one, especially at one point when my jaw nearly dropped with a twist I did not anticipate in the least. Castle and Kit were fun together and the whole group is so intelligent and courageous and the entire reading experience certainly takes me out of my current reality and into a whole new world in some ways. LOL.

I enjoyed the inclusion of several new characters and I am quite excited to see what direction this series will go in (I had somehow assumed/been informed that it was a trilogy but this left the story open to continue, in my opinion).

This is the third book of the series that includes Every Last Breath and Nothing to Fear and is an exciting addition to it. It starts out with a bang and doesn't slow down. The relationship between Kit and Castle is fun to watch develop. Kit is sassy and brave and gets under Castle's tough front. Castle fights his feelings for her while trying to do the job he is bound to.
Anyone who enjoys romantic suspense, as I do, will enjoy this book. Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I literally do not know how to review this book without spoiling you for anything. This book picks up a few months after the events of <i>Nothing to Fear</i> and it starts off with quite a bang. Literally. There are a few people killed right at the beginning of the book, which sets up the high stakes. I think this book is masterfully crafted in a way that I didn't fully appreciate until the end. What I don't know is if I enjoyed the ride.

Anyway, we follow Kit, a rich heiress and founder of a group of hackers called the Outliers, and Castle, a field officer for a government agency not meant to exist. You definitely cannot read this book as a standalone, in my opinion, because there is too much plot. I think with romantic suspense sometimes it seems like the couple comes together too quickly and I will admit that I feel that way about this one a little bit. But mostly, it is that this one feels like it leaned more suspense than romance.

And... I'm just upset about the plot, if we're being honest. But I do think that says a lot. I was attached to a lot of these characters and so the way things go down just has me stunned and also incapable of stringing together thoughts appropriately. So I'm glad I read this series, but I really need to know that we're getting a season two since this one does wrap up the loose ends of the first two books.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the opportunity to read this book early!

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casa for the complementary copy of this book. It publishes May 26, 2020.

I really enjoyed Until the End by Juno Rushdan. This is a romantic thriller with a fast pace that had my interest from the start.

I loved the two main characters, Kit, a white-hat hacker who finds herself way over her head in a bad situation, and Castle, an operative for a secret government agency, Gray Box. I loved that Kit was someone overwhelmed by her situation but throughout the whole story she had gumption and wasn't a wilting violet. I feel like in a lot of these types of romances the women sort of just collapse. Throughout the whole story Kit stands for her convictions. I also loved Castle. He was definitely an alpha male, but not in a toxic way.

The story is fast paced with a variety of characters and scene changes that keep things interesting. This book is the third in a series. I have not read any of the previous books and didn't feel it hindered my ability to understand what was going on.

I'd highly recommend this to people who enjoy their romance with a touch of action adventure. I would not recommend it for people looking for a thriller with no romance or for people who are not fans of Instalove. Now these two aren't completely an instalove connection, but it certainly doesn't take long. Also if you like fade to black romances, this novel might be a bit much. There are definitely some sexy times but it doesn't overtake or become a huge component of the overall story.

4.33⭐️
Tropes: opposites attract, bodyguard

Hey everyone! I literally get anxiety sometimes about lines (where should the line go when it branches off, do people know I’m in line, is it okay that I’m walking forward before I’ve been officially waved up??? etc) because RULES but yes, I do enjoy romantic suspense books with rule-breaking and chases and major threats to life.

Juno Rushdan is a romantic suspense author I discovered last year and I am a big fan. Until the End features Castle Kinkade, a Dwayne Johnson-esque member of the Gray Box, an off the books government ops team, and Kit Westcott, a striking woman who funds the Outliers, a hacking group that angers government orgs like the one Castle belongs to. They’re brought together when Castle’s boss believes Kit is passing on critical info to bad people via drives & Castle witnesses someone trying to kill her.

Juno tackles big issues—past abuse, a heart problem, PTSD, murder, bioweapons—without dragging down the compelling plot. The attraction between Castle & Kit is immediate—despite what Castle & his team suspect her of—and both steamy & adorable, & the book overall is sex positive. I was caught up in the story, loving Rushdan’s storytelling and suspense finesse.

This is probably largely the result of the current political climate, but sometimes I have a hard time seeing how people with very different political ideologies, including those related to national security, can come together without losing sight of who they are. Though Juno does a fine job of showing how Castle & Kit come first for each other & how they’re both willing to re-assess when their partner pushes back, I’m still a little skeptical of how it works for this couple, especially how it relates to one Outliers project.

I enthusiastically recommend Juno’s books and can’t wait to see where this series is going next. The (very) good news is that her books are full of very attractive, very smart, & brave characters and she’s. not. afraid. to. go. there.

Until the End is out tomorrow, 05/26. Thanks to the publisher & Netgalley for my complimentary ARC. All opinions provided are my own.

Full Review forthcoming on BookPage.
Highlights:
Kit, née Katherine Wescott, is a rebel with a trust fund, a white-hat hacker, and pacifist, who knows only one response to authority: defiance. Castle Kinkade is a wounded warrior who’s dedicated his life to his country, and currently serves as a field operative for a secretive government organization. In ​Until the End​ (Sourcebooks, $7.99, 9781492661795), the third book in former military intelligence officer Juno Rushdan’s FInal Hour​ series, the two reluctantly join forces when the group Kit founded gets unwittingly implicated in a plot to release a biological weapon of mass destruction on American soil. As they work to stop the attack and clear her name, an undeniable attraction springs up between protagonists who are as near to polar opposites as two people can be.
It’s a delicious setup for a union of opposites: on any other day in the D.C. jungle, Kit and Castle would be competitors, not collaborators. She’s chaos, and he’s order; they’re more natural enemies than lovers. Castle sees himself as the good guy, but to Kit, he looks suspiciously like the predators she’s been trying to avoid. And yet, despite competing agendas and differing worldviews, Kit and Castle find much to like in each other.

As the two work to stop the plot, their attraction grows, thriving on a combustible combination familiar to readers of romantic suspense: adrenaline, a common threat, and close forced proximity. Both their conflict and their connection are convincing.

On top of that, the action scenes are incredibly vivid, even cinematic in feel. Still, Until the End is not a perfect book—it’s set in the world of politics, and yet scrupulously apolitical and the action and complicated twists threaten to overwhelm the romance at times—but believable characters and momentum easily propel the reader through that. The combination of arresting action, realistic high-stakes conflict, romance, and light humor, makes ​Until the End​ an intensely absorbing romantic thriller.

While I haven't read the first two books in this series I still thoroughly enjoyed this book and while it is a romantic suspense there seemed much more suspense thriller than romance but after saying that there is enough to make you go ah. Would I have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous two books yes probable but after saying that it isn't a huge problem not to.

Kit Westcott leads a white hacker group called Outliers and they have stumbled onto something big so big that it leads to the death of her entire team but Kit escapes with the hard drives and now she is on the run. Castle Kinkade a former Seal and member of Gey Box a secret government black ops group. He soon has her in safety but she doesn't know if she can trust him after all he is government but as danger grows ever closer and they spend more time together walls start to come down Now Castle has to decide to save the woman he loves and betray all he holds dear o do as he is tole even if that sacrifices her because this danger is much bigger and closer than they realise

I’ve enjoyed every one of Juno Rushdan’s books I’ve read, but none of them have been as much of an edge-of-your-seat roller coaster ride as this one! This is the third in a series, and while you could probably read it as a stand-alone as everything is recapped well, it won’t be quite the same experience.

Castle is a complicated character. We’ve seen a lot of him from the outside, especially from his sister Maddox’s perspective in the first book, where she worried that something that happened during his time as a SEAL broke him. Castle’s rebuilt himself around his identity at the Gray Box as Director Sanborn’s second-in-command and heir apparent, committed to the mission and the security of his country. Nothing else is important to him, as the Gray Box is his family and Sanborn, known colloquially to the team as “Dad,” is basically a surrogate dad to him. The last thing he wants is to be responsible for a mouthy POI that may hold the information they need to track down stolen biological weapons…

“Careful what you wish for. You just might get me completely unfiltered and unfettered.”
She didn’t bat an eyelash. “Is that a promise or a threat?”


It took me a while to warm up to Kit. Part of the problem is that the previous main characters in the story have all had some level of experience with field operations – Maddox and Gideon were both field operatives, Cole had experience on the civilian side, and Willow, while not a field operative, worked directly with them and had extensive knowledge of what they do. In Willow’s case, it helped that she already trusted Gideon would keep her safe, and that while he might have to do monstrous things to do that, he was not himself a monster. Kit? None of that. She’s a trust fund heiress whose life work was putting together the Outliers, a group of white hat hackers. She’s not much of a hacker herself, more of the head honcho-type, or, as Willow puts it, a Bill Gates. She’s got plenty of reason to be suspicious of the government and too many examples of hackers like her being “disappeared.” Combined with the trauma of watching her team being murdered, she’s not always in the best headspace for making rational decisions. Everyone she loves – her twin brother, her parents, her team – dies, and she’s lonely and hurting. Watching her mouth off and push back at Castle was hilarious, but there were also times when she seemed to forget the seriousness of the situation and put them both in danger.

“I’ve never believed in chemistry, besides the kind to breach a site with explosive charges. Not until you.”
“You say the most romantic things.”


This is definitely an enemies-to-lovers situation, though even at the beginning both recognize the chemistry between them. Castle loves her fiery spirit and how she pushes back against him, and Kit appreciates how honorable and trustworthy he is, even when she has every reason not to trust him. They’re more alike that they want to admit, both people who have worked hard to put together their teams and protect them, who have experienced loss and understand how it changes you.

“When I strike, it is with precision and it is with justified cause.”


Where this series has really excelled is in the plotting and pacing. This book, even more than the previous books, is absolutely non-stop. All of the action scenes are well-written and make you feel like you’re right there in the middle of them. Some of the plot lines that have run through the first two books are finally resolved. I’ve had suspicions since the first book about where some things were going, and while some panned out – to devastating effect – others haven’t, but I’m not quite willing to let go of them yet.

Overall, this is another thrilling entry in the series, and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

I received this book from NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Included as a top pick in bimonthly May New Releases post, which highlights and promotes upcoming releases of the month (link attached).

Until the End is a thrill ride, from its cold open the final twists of the plot in the dramatic ending. Juno Rushdan knows how to deliver a thriller, and this one is no exception. It’s everything a spy thriller should be, with cat and mouse spy vs spy games, gray morality, betrayals, and fast-paced action.

The scope of this novel is large, with ever-widening circles of involvement as the story blossoms from one seemingly minor operation to a large conspiracy. I greatly appreciated the peeling back of layers and the reveals that let all the different parts of this story fall into place. It’s a complicated narrative, but the ultimate climax is highly satisfying and deeply emotional.

However, as excellent as the writing and plotting is, there were some missteps, especially with the romance plot, that left me scratching my head and squarely put this book into a B rating for me.

I had a hard time with Kit as a character I am supposed to root for. Unlike the heroines in the other two novels in this series, Kit has no real skill set. I had to do a lot of soul searching for why I failed to connect to her character because I usually adore “unlikeable” heroines. Perhaps I am biased, writing this review in the spring of 2020, but feeling a connection to a white woman whose only real talent is having money is not easy to do. She also came across as clueless more than once, when I think she was simply supposed to be an outsider perspective, and her arguments with Castle were supposed to show her backbone, but mostly made her look obstructive for no real reason.

The Final Hours series has previously done a good job providing twists on common tropes, such as second chance romance, but the enemies to lovers take here didn’t work for me, because Kit is not the opposite of Castle that she needed to be. What the author was trying to do didn’t gel how it was intended to. Castle is meant to be the company man, strait-laced, hardnosed, and Kit is the free spirit, anti-authority rule breaker. However, we’re told this without really seeing it. We mostly see Castle break rules for Kit almost immediately, and Kit being rich and white squarely puts her into a privilege category that benefits from current government systems. Their arguments aren’t so much the clash of two idealists as it is Castle trying to do his job and Kit being, well, whiney that she’s not getting her way.

There was only a single sex scene between the main characters, which had some body mechanics issues and devolved into cliché (I can imaging a different novel where the character’s different personalities were on full display in the sex scene), but this wasn’t nearly so off-putting as there being explicit sex between secondary characters. One of who we first see their POV nearly three-quarters of the way through the story. I adore character-driven sex scenes, neither of these felt like that and left me mostly confused as to why there were included that feeling I knew more about the characters and their relationship after reading them.

Until the End is a solid novel, which really hits its stride once the clock starts ticking and the big plot reveals start occurring. I enjoyed the hero, action scenes, and secondary plots a great deal, however I can only rate the story 4/5 stars because of a heroine that had no real purpose in the story besides existing, and a love story that becomes little more than a plot device by the end when the drama and real emotional heart of the story become evident.

While I did have some issues with this story, I am eagerly looking forward to the next three books in this series!

**ARC provided through NetGalley, all opinions are my own**

Another winner from Juno Rushdan! This is Castle’s story and he falls for Kit while helping her run from the special ops group that killed the rest of her hacker team. They work to chase down a potential terrorist attack while outrunning the enemy.

I love this series - It’s hard to find a well written romantic suspense novel that balances the two well. Rushdan does a fabulous job. With this book though, I did figure out pretty early on who the real bad guy was, but it didn’t take away from the thrill of the chase in this book.

I can’t wait for future installments of this series which I hope there will be. Too many great potential stories left!
