I absolutely loved this story.  I did the mistake of not reading some parts because I thought it was just too much information and that was the wrong move. All that information was necessary in order to understand the complexity of the Reed brother and the company.  I happen to love a book that has love, suspense, crime, really hot sex and a hot alpha male named Jacob Reed.The characters in this story are great and I fell in love with them from the start.  Jacob is a total book boyfriend and made me swoon.  I love me a good strong alpha male character, and Jacob was that and more. He is caring, sweet and protective of Katie Wilson.  Jacob is the CEO of Reed Software and Securities Company. Jacob and his team are a covert team and work for the government for highly dangerous jobs.  Jacob has always had a thing for the beautiful Channel reporter Katie Wilson. He would always watch her news and admire the beautiful woman.  Their paths cross on a mission he and his team are on.  When things go wrong, he does not hide his strong protectiveness for Katie, regardless of how they would be against it.  Eli, Reed’s brother and the lead man on the team, is highly unlikable.  I have to say that even at the end I still got an uneasy feel with him. He seems shady, closed off and there is something VERY wrong with him.  The Special Ops team consists of Lulu, Clint, Tyler, Mason Nick, Rush and Julian, each team member brings so much to the table and you find yourself wanting to know about them.  Wait I forgot about Hauk, Reed’s dog, BEST DOG EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!Katie Wilson, what can I say, she is the woman we all want to be.  She is fearless and is not afraid to get dirty to get a story.  One night she and her cameraman, Tully, are trying to get the story that was emailed to her from an unknown source.  Things go wrong for Katie and Tully…terribly wrong.  A year later she is still trying to move on with her life after that painful night and the memories that seem scattered and shaky.  I found her to be a strong female character and I was able to relate to her.A year after their last crossing, Jacob is constantly watching Katie, without her knowledge.  When fate once again throws the two back together Jacob is determined not to let anyone and anything take Katie away again.  Jacob does not tell Katie what his real job is or how one year ago he and his team changed her life dramatically.  When danger comes crashing into Katie’s front door, Jacob will do anything to keep her safe. That includes getting his team on board even if they do not agree with his choice to not let go of Katie.When Jacob and Katie finally get together, it is so sweet, passionate and hot.  I want a Jacob, you know what I mean Alpha-Take-Charge-Kicka$$-Man.“You’re so soft.  Oh, no.  I’m taking my time with you, woman.  Next time, love.  Let me take care of you tonight.”“Please Jacob, please.”“Open those beautiful blue eyes, sweetheart.  I want to see them when I push into, as you take me inside and come for me.”Throughout the story you are trying to find out what happened at the warehouse and where the danger and threat is coming from. While praying to all Gods and Heaven that when the truth comes out Katie and Jacob are strong enough to work it out.“Somebody please explain something.  I already know Julian, but I don’t know why you are here.  And that one looks like the guy from your lobby.  We met yesterday but I need the rest of you to explain.”“Sweetheart, why don’t you sit down so I can explain a few things?  Sweetheart please let me explain.”“Okay but if you don’t mind, I’ll stay right here.  I’ve had enough of being attacked this week.  Who are all you people?”“We’re part of an anti-counterterrorism team loosely associated with the government.”“I don’t think I like this conversation, Jacob.  What is it that you haven’t told me?  Or still haven’t said?”“I loved you for a really long time, Katie.  Even before I met you a year ago, in March.”I was pulled into the story by trying to find out what was going on. We do not get much but I hope book 2 will bring more answers because we are still left wondering what is going on.  I also cannot wait to see what will come from Jacob and Katie’s relationship.  The epilogue is epic it will make you want MORE!!!!
