This review was first posted on my blog Lecture Toute une AventureMy opinion:So good! I definitively needed something like this short novella and if all the books from the author are of this quality I can only want more.Since it's a short story and even more the prequel to another book I will try not to reveal too much but that will means a shorter review. To start with something essential in my opinion....yes you can start by reading this even if you haven't read anything by the author before. From what I gathered all books works as stand alone so yes this story is linked to book 2 in the series and I guess you would be glad o have read it later but I wasn't feeling like I was missing something, it really didn't bothered me to jump in the middle of the series so it was perfect.The writing style is as I love it: clear. You got action and quickly ( hey it's a romantic suspense AND a novella so it's normal) but it didn't feel rushed or not enough to stop my reading....and if the action is high level with explosive and all...the romance is steamy and not a little, the balance between the two is really well done and I enjoyed this adventure no matter how short.We discover here, two heroes: Quinn, navy seal, chief all muscles and sex appeal but really loyal, with honor (protecting innocents and all) and protective for those he loves.... but also really dangerous if you are not a friend of him. Then we have Alandra who is also a force in her own way, she is on the terrain but her job is to blend in and gather information, she can defend herself of course but she isn't in the "assassination" part of the job. After working together for a job, the sparks ignited a passion of the long lasting kind and they have been together since then though they kept that secret. So when during her job, Alandra is captured, Quinn doesn't follow protocol and jump to the rescue ( sexy^^).The author linked some elements that I think are essential for book 2 (why Quinn didn't keep the paper!!! Man you have brain too not just muscle), we also see that the cartel is larger that what counter intelligent can imagine.  I'm also really curious about who was the one that leaked info on Alexandra because that still unknown. So there is a light cliffhanger yes but since it's a prequel I was expecting something like that and if I'm honest we do have partly some closure too, kind of temporary happy end, yes problems are building but it will be for another day.So really I recommend you this novella if you have a few minute and want a good romantic steamy suspense romance this is an excellent one and a good way to try an author you perhaps haven't discovered yet with of course the risk to want more ...because now I'm really aching to get book 2 and more of this explosive couple!!  And it's free so don't hesitate and hurry  get it when you can.Score:  4/5
