I really enjoyed this book. It took me a bit to get into the story, but after the initial introduction, I was completely swept away. I was a little thrown by the military talk and it was hard to keep track of the acronyms at times, but this story really held me captive.
Opposites definitely attract in this book; a Marine to the core who eats war for breakfast and a diplomat who fights battles with her words. Can there be a common ground between the two? I loved watching their journey unfold in the middle of all the chaos that surrounded them.
This book is action-packed! There is espionage, covert ops, submarine chases, and several rescue attempts both successful and not. With primary and secondary characters finding the courage to face their fears and fight their demons while best-laid plans turn FUBAR in a foreign province. I don’t want to go into too much detail and give away all the plot twists and turns but you are in for an exciting journey with this book. And although it is the third book in a series; it can be read as a standalone. I was thoroughly riveted by this read and I can’t wait to see what Nina has in store next!
