This is my first book by Shelli Stevens.  I started reading this particular book because there was an excerpt for it at the end of Mina Carter's Perfect Mate and it sounded good.  I requested a kindle sample from Amazon and got hooked on the sample so I purchased the book.  This is exactly the kind of books I like to read.  After I got about half way through the book my enthusiasm started to wind down.  I'm still into the story, but now I just want to get it over with and find out the outcome.  I think it's because Sienna is starting to get on my nerve a little - just give Donovan the damn jump drive.  Sure one of his operative is a traitor.  But their basically military men who work for P.I.A., I'm sure they can handle it.  Give it up already.  She can see their trying to find a cure for the shifters they rescued whom are in a constant state of torment.  One's dead because he was feral, the lady agent may not make it and the operatives are constantly struggling to keep them sane until they can figure out what was done to them.  But Sienna just keeps the jump drive with all the research hidden because she doesn't trust any of them.  But she trust Donovan enough to sleep with him, go figure.  I don't like Larson, he's the leader of the group but I think he is condescending.  I just don't feel any respect where he's concerned.  Sienna got hysterical in the part where they were going to wipe her memory of her knowledge of the shifters which would in turn wipe her memory of her time with Donovan.  Donovan stood by and let them carry her kicking and screaming to the chair and strap her in.  So I wanted to tell her just man up and stop begging, it's embarrassing.  And from her point of view, Donovan doesn't give a crap, even after he marked her.  But she immediately forgives him and doesn't even think twice about it after the mind sweep wasn't completed.  The story just fizzled out for me.  I caught myself rolling my eyes at Sienna's choices and self doubt.  Also, I didn't like the fact that big bad Quinton was killed so easily.  Everyone quaked in fear just by the mention of his name, yet he was killed by one lone wolf.
