Shades of Gray (KGI, #6)

by Maya Banks

The Kelly Group International (KGI): A super-elite, top secret, family-run business. Qualifications: High intelligence, rock-hard body, military background. Mission: Hostage/kidnap victim recovery. Intelligence gathering. Handling jobs the U.S. government can’t…

P.J. and Cole were sharpshooting rivals on the same KGI team and enjoyed a spirited, uncomplicated camaraderie. Until the night they gave in to their desires and suddenly took their relationship one step further. In the aftermath of their one-night stand, they’re called out on a mission that goes terribly wrong, and P.J. walks away from KGI, resolved not to drag her teammates into the murky shadows she’s poised to delve into.

Six months later, Cole hasn’t given up his search for P.J., and he’s determined to bring her back home where she belongs. Bent on vengeance, P.J. has plunged into a serpentine game of payback that will make her question everything she’s ever believed in. But Cole—and the rest of their team—refuse to let her go it alone. Even if it means sacrificing their loyalty to KGI, and their lives…

Also includes a never-before-in-print KGI novella exclusive to the mass market edition!

I was super excited for this one... superdeeduper excited. I ended up reading this one 14hrs or so... I cruised through it. There were times where I was kind of frustrated with PJ and her bipolar personality. But, I guess I can see where she compartmentalized everything. She and Cole were pretty hot together when she finally let her guard down and went for it with him.
And then the big bad happened and it was downright hard for me to get through that part. The fact that her whole team knew what happened and the aftermath was heart wrenching.
Gotta love Steele and the whole KGI family closing ranks around her especially once they found her again. She needed to know that they would not desert her like her other team had.
COLE. Loved him and I loved that he pulled PJ out of herself and we got to see her show some personality. Altho some of the stuff she said and did where Cole was concerned (being so almost schmoopy with Cole) was a bit unnerving. We've known so little about her that any kind of personality or affection she shows feels out of character.
Good from Maya Banks... not my favorite of this series but still a good one.
