UNTIL THE END by Juno Rushdan is the first book that I have read by this author and the third book in the Final Hour romantic suspense and thriller series. It worked well as a standalone novel, but would probably work even better if the series were read in order. Castle Kinkade is an operative for Gray Box, a black ops government agency. When he agrees to protect Kit Westcott, the leader of a white-hat hacker group, his loyalty is tested. Themes explored include spies, terrorists, murder, computer hacking, clandestine government agencies, romance, family and much more.

The characters were compelling and someone you could root for. They had distinct voices, flaws and virtues and their goals were clear. The secondary characters were not as fully developed, but this did not detract from the story. The internal and external conflicts were well defined and the stakes and tension were high throughout this novel.

The plot was engrossing, moving, powerful, thought-provoking, intense and suspenseful. The pace was brisk which made the book a true page-turner. There are a few steamy scenes that start after about 60% of the book. While the romance was important, it was the action-thriller part that truly drove the story line. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. Who can be trusted? Exactly how many subplots are there?

Overall, this was an action-packed romantic thriller that was a tense and gripping page-turner. I recommend it to those that enjoy action-packed romantic thrillers. I look forward to reading more of the books in this series.

Many thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and Juno Rushdan for a complimentary digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley and the opportunity to provide an honest review. Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way.

Fast paced and action packed from the first page. Best read in the series. Both characters are dynamic and engaging!

Nail biting, edge of your seat awesomeness!

Until the End, the third book in Rushdan’s Final Hour series is just as explosive as the first two books in the series. There is nonstop action, intrigue, danger, and suspense that will keep you glued to the pages.

The clock is ticking in this installment and time is running out. Twists and turns abound as well as a shocking betrayal that hits the team hard and has you wondering the outcome of the team and the future of Graybox. I really did not see the “reveal” of the mole coming; it was a shocker, for sure. The action explodes from the beginning of this story and is carried all the way through until the surprising end. There are subplots to unravel while following the main storyline as well as multiple points of view and several smaller threads that branch off with characters that have you wondering what is next. The details, descriptions, character development, and romantic aspects are well-written and engaging. It was just as easy to get swept away with these characters as the previous in the series. Though this book can technically stand alone, I would suggest reading it in series order to follow the Graybox operatives and their missions, as well as their personal involvements and connections throughout the series. Until the End is definitely an exciting read and a great addition to the series.

Juno Rushdan just keeps getting better and better! I wasn’t really looking forward to Castle’s story because he seemed like a bit of a hardass but it’s been the best one yet. I didn’t see the big reveal coming in this book and I was shocked!

I love this series and I can’t wait to see where she takes it next!

4.5⭐
Until the End, is the third book in the Final Hour Series, and I'll be honest I've come into this series late, starting with book two, and continuing on, and I couldn't really remember much about that story when I started reading this one. Which I do think impacted my enjoyment of it, and lessened the OMG factor when certain aspects of this story came to light. (Sorry, if that sounds vague, but I don't want to spoil it.)

But there's no denying this was a well written, intricately plotted story, full of thrills, action, drama, suspense, and even some edge of your seat moments; and I did enjoy it a lot. However, it did take me a chapter or three to really get engaged, but nevertheless it was entertaining, and it had a decent amount of romance blended with the thrills and spills, which to be fair was just what I was looking for.

Castle and Kit! How perfect do those names sound fora couple! Castle works for Grey Box! An elite black ops group. Kat is a hacker! A rich Hacker! When her group hacks into the wrong thing it leads to her being on a hit list! Is Castle the man to save her or in prison her? Lots of twists and turns and a surprising ending!

Until the End is another winner from Juno Rushdan. An action packed thriller that keeps you reading and reading not wanting to put down the book. That is how I have felt with all of her books so far. You hardly have time to catch your breath before, before something else is happening. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.

I received and Advanced Readers Copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my fair and honest review.

One of my favorite suspense books that I have read in a long time.
Kit, a computer hacker, and Castle, a Black Ops like agent, meet while Castle is on surveillance in the park looking into a missing biochemical. He saves her life and kidnaps her all in one fast moment. With no one else to trust, Kit opens up to Castle about what she has found and what has happened as a result of her hacking. But Kit and Castle have bigger enemies than they thought, and together they must uncover the depths of the deception going on around them, or people, including them, will die.
This book had it all and captivated me from the first page. Filled with action, suspense, twists and turns, and of course some romance sprinkled in.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Action-packed from the beginning. I could barely catch my breath as each page turned into another hair rising, bloody scene. Kat and Castle are two bad ass, die hard warriors on opposite ends of the spectrum. Kat is a notorious hacker who gets caught up in a bad deal and is now fighting for her life when she meets Castle, a secret agent. They are both forced to trust each other to catch the bad guys and that does not come easy. I loved what a protective and loyal sweet heart Castle is making it easier to understand and not lose patience with Kat as we see her through his eyes. Loved the characters and the story although I did feel it dragged on for a bit too long. Overall worth the read.

** 4 1/2 stars**

Someone on the inside of Gray Box is a traitor and that person is revealed in this story.

Kit and Castle are thrown together after Kit’s family is murdered in front of her. She is in possession of the only evidence of what happened and can bring some really influential people down. Castle is initially sent in to retrieve her, but finds himself not only attracted to her, but also wanting to protect her. He has to protect her from forces outside of Gray Box, but soon he finds out, forces inside as well are out to get her. Even though he feels torn between his duty to his country and those who have had his back in some tough times, this little slip of a girl has really gotten to him.

Kit has lost everyone that she has gotten close to. She doesn’t want to depend on Castle, but he has shown time and time again that he is there for her.

Who knew? Who knew this book would take me through so many emotions?

I wasn’t sure what twists this series was going to take, but I must admit I didn’t see this plot twist coming.

ARC received from NetGalley for an honest review.

Oooooooo lots of suspense and action in this one!! I definitely enjoyed reading this book! I love when the bad guys talk also, and there was plenty of that in this book! I only knocked a star off because there was so much going on and so many people talking that at times I was lost in who was who?! But! It was still an awesome read! I highly recommend this book! It's well worth the read! Can't wait for more! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Well that certainly did not go how I was expecting it to! It will be interesting to see where the series goes from there, assuming there are more books planned. I hope there are. I’ve just read all three books in three days and I’m invested in these characters now. I want to see the rest of them get their HEAs. However, I didn’t like this one as much as the previous books. I felt like there were too many POVs, too many moving parts that made it feel messy. Maybe because of that, the wrap up also dragged a bit.

This book is action packed from the first page. You won’t be able to put it down. Kit is running for her life and doesn’t know who to trust. The ending caught me by surprise, I didn’t see it coming. This book is part of a series but it could stand alone, altho the first 2 in the series were equally as good and I recommend all 3 books. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

4-1/4 sars! This was possibly the worst time to read such a book since we are going through the Coronavirus pandemic. That being said, I really enjoyed this novel. The author kept you in suspense from the first page till the last. There were a couple surprise twists and turns that I did not expect! I liked the author’s style of writing and humor. I will look forward to reading more from this author.

I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest and unbiased review

Be prepared this book starts off running and doesn’t stop! From the beginning, even with Castle saving Kit, they bother don’t trust each other. Kit for understandable reasons; hackers and police really don’t mix. They make a truce and Kit aligns herself with Castle. Except, now it’s not just one group coming after Kit, it’s multiple ones. Will they find out who in time to save Kit and the info she has to the right people in time?

Nonstop action. literally. It starts with action and runs the whole way through, no time to catch your breath. HEA for the romance but man oh man, a painful ending for this series. The way it is set up we could see future, and I am all for that. I found Juno by chance here on NetGalley and now I actively search out her books. Castle is the Graybox operative who is out to protect Kit, a hacker who saw her team members killed. There are twists, turns, car chases, murder, betrayals, romance, suspense. I wanted to give it 5 stars cause Juno rocks, but her characters are the cream of the crop to belong to Graybox and I just couldn't wrap my head around with all their expertise why they believed carte blanch in everything and I have questions for them!!! I recommend reading book 1 and 2 first. a;; can be read as stand alone but you are doing yourself a disservice if you miss book 1 and 2. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions, as mentioned earlier I seek out her books and I can honestly say they never disappoint. Thank you Juno Roshdan, Thank you Sourcebooks Casablanaca Thank you NetGalley!

My first book by this authors and it won't be my last. As soon as I finished I raced off to find more titles. Crazy good from start to finish you won't be able to put this one down. The characters are placed in heart pounding situations that further ratchet up the tension until the very end. Until the End is exactly what romantic suspense fans hope a book will be.

This is the third book in Juno Rushdan's Final Hour series. I encourage reading the first 2 before this one since they have some overlapping story arcs. I've enjoyed the series and the author tends to write high-action sequences that really hook you.

I will admit I had a hard time getting into this one for the first half or so just because I could not connect with Kit. She and Castle had way too much opposites-attract insta-love going on for my tastes. Kit wasn't as developed of a character as some of the others in the author's books. However- the twist definitely made up for it. I did not see that one coming!

I had the chance to read an early copy for review.

Kit Westcott is rich and is the head of a hacker group, Outliers. She watches as her friends are executed after getting involved with some shady people. She grabs the computer drives and escapes to keep from being killed too. Castle is a former SEAL and now works for a very secret government agency known as Gray Box. Castle is sent to bring Kit in and find out where the drives are. Kit doesn’t trust Castle because he’s with the government. There are so many people after Kit, that Castle promises her that he will protect her until she is safe. When Kit breaks down the walls around his heart, will he choose her or his job?

OMG!!!! Secrets, sex, and nonstop action that will leave you breathless. I could not stop read it. I still can’t believe what happened so be prepared to be blown away. I honestly don’t know what to write without giving anything away. Just be sure to read this heart pounding book.
