BLURB:
In a race against time, Gray didn’t allow himself to consider defeat. He refused. They couldn’t lose now. Darius had to be okay. Oh God, he had to be okay.
One minute and twelve seconds had passed since the guys in the compound had started collapsing, and Gray could hear Darius in his mind, calling him knucklehead in that sharp tone that demanded attention. Pull it together, focus, get the job done. So with his heart threatening to pound its way out of his rib cage, Gray let this final task become his one and only mission. They were gonna finish the operation once and for all, and they were gonna walk away with a bright future ahead of them. A future that promised family, new adventures, and freaking farm animals.
This was it.
REVIEW:
This story picks up where the cliffy left us hanging in the previous book. The story continues with the second half and wrap up of the rescue and take down of the players involved.
Things continue to move along at a pretty good clip throughout with everyone on the team going their separate ways and Darius and Gray reuniting with their kids on their somewhat off-the-grid property.
This installment brings closure to a number of different angles with Darius and Gray coming out stronger than ever at the end. Gray did struggle a bit with how everyone on the team dealt with the big betrayal, and I would have liked to have seen that explored a little more.
All in all, I really enjoyed this series, and I’m a huge fan of Cara Dee and her writing. While this book read a bit better than the last for me, it didn’t have quite the intensity of the earlier books. In truth, it felt as though this and the previous book could have easily been combined to pack more of a punch, but suffice to say, it was a nice way to finish the story, except it appears the story isn’t quite finished after all and that we may be seeing Darius and Gray again. Maybe they will take River and Reese (from The Game series) up on their offer to visit!
As always, Ms. Dee remains on my auto-read list, as I always finish her books looking forward to reading more.
