Iris is senior security specialist with Red Stone Security. She has worked hard to gain the respect of the men on her team, and this entails a rather circumspect social life. Imagine their surprise when they find out she has been secretly married and her husband, Wyatt Christiansen is now a client. Iris fled Las Vegas soon after her quickie marriage to Wyatt because she had no desire to leave her job and become some man's Martha Stewart, no matter how much she cares about him or how hot the sex is.Wyatt has had feelings for Iris since they become childhood friends bonding over miserable home lives. As a grown man, he has garnered the success and financial security he craved. He needs only one more thing to make his life complete, Iris. He just has to convince her to give their marriage a chance. In order to make his dreams a reality, he must remain alive and find out who is determined to take him out, permanently.I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Iris was a tough, intelligent woman, with enough chutzpah to forge her own path in a male dominated field. I have great respect for authors who craft likable heroines. Wyatt was secure enough in his masculinity to allow Iris to protect him, although he did fight the bit once in awhile. Katie Reus infused the story with her trademark smexiness and the story itself moved quickly and fluidly. There was enough humor and snark in the dialogue to cause a grin or two, and the secondary characters added a very nice depth to the book. I definitely recommend this books for someone looking for a good example of romantic suspense.
