Synopsis:
He can never have her.
Having her means the end of his career in the Hostile Operations Team.
But when he learns she’s carrying his child, he’ll have to make a
choice…
Ryan “Flash” Gordon has been drawn to Emily Royal bin Yusuf since the first moment he met her. But she’s a terrorist’s widow, which means she’s completely off-limits. A HOT special operator can never be with a woman whose name is on government watch lists the world over.
But when Emily begs him for just one night, he can’t refuse. The next morning, she’s gone. Not just from his bed, but from his life.
Emily can never clear her name—or can she? When a rogue CIA operative offers her a chance to put her past behind her and do something for her country, she leaps at the opportunity—even though it means leaving behind the man she’s fallen in love with. But not before she lets herself have one night with him.
One night with stunning consequences…

Review:
Okay,
the series continues to grab me. A lot of times a series will drop into the
“same-old, same-old” rut by the time it hits number eight. Not this time! Lynn
Raye Harris continues to deliver on all fronts: page turning suspense,
fascinating characters, interesting locales, intense action… And between the
sheets? Oh, yeah!
Another
thing I love about this series? Each book is complete: a new couple, a new love, and new adventures.
Plus she weaves the characters you have grown to know and love in previous
books into the threads of the story while placing ‘threads’ that lead into
future books. So yes, these can be read as standalones, but seriously? Read
them in order – it makes the whole experience even better.
I
had serious doubts about the setup. The whole ‘wife of a [dead] terrorist’
thing was a little off-putting, sort of a modern version of the heroine with a ‘scarlet
woman’ or ‘black widow’ reputation who has given up on love and life. But Ms.
Harris really made her work for me. The hero was a great - offering support
without smothering her – although like all alpha guys he is fiercely
protective.
There
are so many plot twists that I can’t really come up with anything to say that
isn’t contained in the book summary and doesn’t contain spoilers. So I’ll close
with a simple recommendation: Read the book! (And the series, so I guess that’s
two recommendations.)
