This was a good story with lots of action and suspense. I love stories with a kick-ass heroine, and this one certainly did not disappoint with Eva Torres. From her background as an orphan who survived on the streets in Columbia, to her ability to master all the skills required to become a top operative, Eva was everything you want in a strong heroine.Up until the end, Quinn was just ok for me – I really found that I wanted to slap him half the time. The way he walked out on Eva and then continued to hide his feelings was just infuriating! It added a great dynamic to the story, but boy did he get me angry! On the one hand I loved the fact that his feelings for Eva were so strong he wanted to protect her, but on the other hand I wanted to get all up in his face and remind him that part of why he loves her is her strength and ability to take care of herself, so be her partner, not her protector!I was a little disappointed by the lack of spark and sizzle between Eva and Quinn for most of the book. I’m not sure why I never felt that over the top tension between the two characters that I really wanted to feel throughout the book. I don’t know if it was because there wasn’t a lot of back-story on their relationship (there was some, but maybe for me it wasn’t enough?), or perhaps it was that I never really got Quinn’s side of the heat, but it wasn’t until near the end when they got dirty and sweaty in the gym that I felt those sparks fly.I did enjoy the overall story and like the premise of the HRS organization, and look forward to reading the next installment in this series.I received an eARC from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
