When one book in a series is free, of course I have to check it out.  When the rest are .99 I decided to pick them all up.  I wasn't disappointed.  The series is well written, excellent characters, well plotted story and action packed.  I was immediately captured with a heroine that is kicked out of the Air Force due to her weight.  Hitting 30 is never easy. . .What bothered me about the plot twist is Vince.  He claims he has few things in common with Sarah and justifies his 'breaking off' with her.  That she didn't want the same things he did - He wasn't into the expensive high priced lifestyle.  While I agree an expensive lifestyle wasn't ever his gig and he did give his ex just about everything. . . Sarah wasn't exactly into that lifestyle, either.  She was propped up to do her job and 'owned it', acting out a part.  I think Vince forgot that and he should've seen that in the two years they were working together.Vince did have more in common with Sarah. They were both committed to making the world a better place, of taking out terrorists.  They shared a moral obligation to serve their country above and beyond the call of duty.  They pushed themselves physically and emotionally and Vince was there to witness Sarah's transformation.  He admired her abilities, her strength, to stand up for herself, to be a part of the team instead of the only female and needing protecting.  He trusted her with his life.With all that said, I have a hard time wrapping my mind around Vince feeling he doesn't share the same values, has less in common with Sarah than he would with her petite look-alike. Oh yes and this curvy brunette is an excellent cook.  It isn't until she's pregnant that he acts on taking his relationship further and I can see a change of pace and heart when starting a family.  But she's related to a Russian crime boss/Mofia.  So he's now setting up that picket fence with someone who wasn't honest with him, didn't tell him she was influenced by that type of lifestyle and family. . . While he is still accepting assignments to report back on Russian crime activity, essentially spying on his own home.I guess that is right: Vince's values aren't what they were and as he is now he has less in common with Sarah than he did.  He is sliding downhill and he's stuck in Russia by himself, covering his own back.  It'd be interesting to see how he copes once his child is born.As for Sarah, she needed Jay although it is hard to grasp she falls for the first guy she's set up with. She needed someone outside the CIA to be everything but a husband.  Yes she is still needed and no she isn't ready to raise kids in the burbs - If in fact she'd be the type for that lifestyle.  But it'd be nice to see a few bland characters instead of all these well built outstanding specimens of manliness, but I guess that's the type of window dressing Sarah has in her life.The series was great but this last book was a hard sell.
