It’s the intel every agent fears–terrorists have been smuggled into the country, intent on unleashing the most deadly attack since 9/11. With the threat imminent, FBI Agent Kiley Dawson and ICE Agent Evan Bowers are charged with taking down this terrorist cell. The only problem is Kiley blames Evan for the death of her former partner, and she can barely be in a room with him. But with millions of lives on the line, she has no choice.
If it wasn’t for a bad call Evan made, Kiley’s former partner would still be alive, and Evan has to live with that guilt for the rest of his life. When he starts falling for her, the agent’s death seems an impossible obstacle–but it’s also the last thing he needs to think about. As the terrorist plot targets Kiley’s family, the two are pushed to the breaking point in a race to save countless lives.

Summary
3.5 stars
"I'm always reminded of God . . . But tonight. After everything. Minutes from death. It reminds me He's infinite when life is finite."
Minutes count.
After receiving disturbing intel from a confidential informant, who was summarily dispatched, FBI agent Kiley Dawson quickly activates her team of elite professionals to track down members of a terrorist cell who have devised a plan to put millions of American lives at risk. The FBI knows when, they just don't know where. When Kiley's case happens to intersect with ICE agent Evan Bower, she determines to push aside their differences long enough to appreciate what Evan's highly trained skill set has to offer. Furiously pursuing every possible lead, the agents crisscross the country . . . . meanwhile the timer continues to tick, and Kiley's determination to shut out any latent attraction to Evan, begins to disintegrate.
The title alone should alert readers to the fact that this story is going to start fast and accelerate quickly. Fascinating? Complicated? A little unnerving? Absolutely. However, what I appreciated the most was getting to know Kiley and Evan. They learn a lot about themselves; especially the fact that everyone makes mistakes, even when the consequences are as crucial as life or death. . . .ultimately, the power of forgiveness becomes a beautiful thing.
"Forgiveness . . . the word sprang to mind as it often had . . . could she forgive Evan? Was he even at fault . . . or was she unwilling to take her share of blame? Blaming Evan was much easier . . . maybe all of it was one of those situations God allowed . . "
