DEADLY ALLIANCE: Shane and Emme 

Shane needs to find the person responsible for his bestie's little sister's murder. Hs best bet is using a decoy - one on the shape of English operative Emme. But can he really throw Emme as bait? Will his burgeoning feelings for the feisty operative get in the way? 

Shane and Emme are great characters. Emme was maybe a wee bit TOO independent and feisty, almost becoming devil-may-care and putting herself in danger is not going to catch the bad guy! I did enjoy their story and there is plenty to be happy about.

KNIGHT WATCH: Kingsley and Sydney. Kingsley was an EOD specialist with the Royal Marines but he was looking for a fresh challenge. His first case with Alliance Agency seems easy enough. 
 Find a kidnapped female and get her back to her uncle. But something is off with the uncle and as he and the team dig deeper, more and more things don't add up. Sydney has been hiding from her odious uncle for years. He and his crony too something precious from her, something n family member should do to someone they love. But when a huge, bada%% male breaks her from her prison, can she really trust him, especially when he states they got the case from her uncle?

A very emotional and triggering stryline handled with deft care. Sydney is a warrior woman! Kingsley was everything you want in a hero: protective, possessive, caring. He just needs to let Sydney flourish and he'll reap the rewards of her growing independence. 

HIDDEN OBSESSION: Cleo and Mason
Cleo's obtained a stalker and the danger is increasing in leaps and bounds. Mason, the other English agent at Alliance, comes to her rescue and what follows is an adventurous, fast-paced love-story. Cleo s hilarious and just so damn good at her job - those agents won't get anything past her. She will do anything for those she decides are "family" - she just doesn't seem to grasp that they'd do the same for her. Mason is totally a James Bond for the modern age! I loved that total WTF moment when the stalker was revealed!

LETHAL JUSTICE: Frida and Malco
We met Frida earlier in the series and now she get to have a HEA. What she doesn't realise is that she and Malco have a closer connection than they first thought, one that could blow them apart before they catch the crooked cops and drug dealers. Strong-willed lawyer and stubborn former Agent - talk about clashing personalities. But these two work and I absolutely adored their ending!
