Trent is loving and dependable, and I can easily envision a future in his arms.
I had no way to know the two were brothers. I fear I will be what tears them apart.
When Trent is deployed to Afghanistan to test a highly classified serum, I can’t shake the feeling of dread. My fears are quickly justified. An unknown enemy knows my dark secret, and plans to use it against us.
I made a mistake once, and now it could destroy everyone I love.

- Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2019This story has a lot to keep you interested:
- military
- love triangle
- revenge
I’m not usually one for military stories but this one had my attention from the very start and kept it. The story at times became a little unbelievable but the plot is so engaging that I was not put off by it.
It is written in three voices and the author has given every character a flaw and a redemption ensuring an entertaining read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my heart
Verified PurchaseRyleigh!!!! I cannot express how much I LOVED this book! I was hooked from the beginning and it just kept getting better and better. Talk about being on the edge of your seat...I’m pretty sure I fell off a few times. And don’t even get me started on the ugly crying! Just WOW!!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS! 👏👏👏

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ!
Verified PurchaseThere is absolutely nowhere to start with the review for this book. I went in thinking it was going to be a sweet read where there was turmoil in the heroine between which brother she had stronger feelings for. What I actually got was a roller coaster of emotions, shock after shock with all the plot twists and a deeper love for Ryleigh Sloan's writing. Yes, I cried, swooned, laughed, may have screamed and all the other things you can think off all with this one book.
So if you're in the mood for a major book hangover like the one I have (weeks after finishing it), this book is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well done and gripping
Verified Purchase(audiobook+ebook) I already enjoyed this author’s work in another genre, so I was curious about reading some romantic suspense by her. I was blown away.
Though a bit unrealistic–such a level of mind control is still an illusion–the mystery plot is still well done and gripping. I really enjoyed how the personal story of the characters mixed with the bigger spy story.
I’m a sucker for a good love triangle. The one where you’re never sure who’s gonna be chosen because there are deep feelings everywhere. This book has one of those. The brotherly love between Jensen and Trent, tainted with the secret between J and Skyla, made the conflicts between them even more emotional. I’d have loved to see more of Skyla and Jensen’s past relationship though–one single flashback and some reminiscence from the characters felt not enough to understand the depth of their feelings for each other. As for Skyla’s relationship with Trent, we see but a glimpse of it since they’re quickly separated–but since it’s a long term relationship, it was easier to see the love between them. Still, that’s one powerful love triangle that kept me on edge until the very end.
The handful of villains who threatened them, despite clear motivations–that I guessed pretty fast–didn’t feel real. More like cartoon villains. Except for one unexpected one. But I won’t spoil the surprise. This one, though, made the whole story more painful to read. Oh, the angst!
And the narration? I wasn’t sold on the female narrator, to be honest. But the two male narrators were perfectly cast. The one doing Trent was especially great with the character. They brought life to those three tortured characters in their search for happiness. A very good listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Verified PurchaseThis was such a good read. So many twist and turns, it was a great story not that I expected any less from the lovely Ryleigh.
Also the audio version of this book was so good. I don't have audible so I'll just add this here.
