FIVE JOBS. FIVE CHANCES FOR REDEMPTION.

One thing’s for sure: these men are no angels.

Ready or not, it’s time for job #4, and this time, it’s personal.

My name is Carson Grieves. I’m a con artist with a trunk full of disguises and more layers than an onion. Anything I’ve ever told you about my life was probably a lie.

Fifteen years ago, my world crumbled. Charlie Bingham saved my life, and now from beyond the grave the bastard is making me do the one thing I swore I would never do.

Go home.

To do the job, I’m going to have to exhume the corpses of my past betrayals to take down a corrupt businessman and make peace with the only boy I ever loved. The boy whose life I ruined. But the boy is a man now and though he’s blind he still sees the real me like no one ever has.

Maybe Charlie is right and I can have a second chance at love. But even if we do find forgiveness for mistakes we both made in the past, will he ever forgive me for the worse betrayal to come?

REVIEW:

So, not to give anything away, but there is a HUGE surprise at the end of this book and it does end on a cliffhanger. I have to say, I had a feeling this was what was going to happen, and that the people behind the scenes were in this all along. So, I’m not surprised but yet I am, if that makes sense. I hope the final book comes soon, because with the way this ended. Yeah, not a happy camper. 

I’ve been waiting for Carson’s story. He’s always been so quiet and close mouthed about his past that I wasn’t sure what to expect. I figured, honestly, for it to be worse than what it was. Not saying that it didn’t have it’s bad moments, but with the way everyone else’s stories had been, I wasn’t sure of what to expect with Carson.  I like how his story is though. Because I do have to agree with Charlie in this one. Although Charlie’s methods stink to high heaven, Carson needed to go back home and deal with everything. Finally. 

What really got me in this one too, is that Carson has always kind of been on the outside of this whole group. Keeping himself apart from the rest. But when he needed them, they showed him he was still family to them. Granted, he was the quieter one, and one they didn’t know much about until now, but they still loved him, in their ways. He was still a part of them. And I love that Carson was finally getting how much he really meant to people. Even his own mother. And that was funny in itself. Being a mother, I would have probably acted the same way.

It’s a good story. You don’t want to put it down like the others. You never are quite sure how things are going to turn out or which way they are going to go. And it’s nice to see how they are turning out. To a point. There’s danger at every turn for them right now, and with this ending, there’s going to be more coming. But it’s a great set of books. I hope book 5 is coming quickly.
