This is the 2nd book in this series I have read. You can read these out of order so feel free to start with this one! I wasn't as crazy about Execution Style so I was less than excited to read this book. I'm glad I gave it a shot though!! Blake is a likable character-you feel her hurt and it doesn't come off as overly whiny or 'oh poor me'. And Foster is great too! He is dealing with the trauma of his war wounds and trying to get his life back. Its all very believable. The book moves at a quick pace and I read it all in one sitting. You do get to see some of the characters from the previous books but only because they are on the SWAT team so it won't affect your understanding at all. If you like romantic suspense, this is the perfect book to read!
