What do you like about this book:
3.5 stars
"Seeing him again reminded her of the things she missed about him."
Being abducted wasn't exactly what Aubrey Grayson had in mind on that beautiful predawn morning, neither was watching the man she considered her surrogate father get shot . . . but both happened so quickly. In the blink of an eye, her life hung in the balance before her law enforcement training had time to kick in. Equally impossible to believe, was that when she did manage to gain an upper hand, that it was F. B. I. Agent Jack Shannon who came to her rescue. Jack . . .just the sound of his name brought back a multitude of wonderful childhood memories; so, what in the world had happened to "them"?
Agent Jack Shannon is stunned to come face to face with Bree Grayson again. Not only is she as beautiful, or even more beautiful than he remembered, she has become caught in the middle of a dangerous situation; and until he can unravel the details, his protective instincts kick into high gear. As the situation begins to play itself out, a name rises to the surface, one that neither of them ever expected to be relevant to the case; it's none other than Charles Ramsey.
As Bree fights the demons of her past and Jack struggles with similar regrets, they have an international spy ring to shut down; but unfortunately for both of them, it's Bree who becomes "the traitor's pawn".
This book is such a nice blend of character and story; two childhood friends whose love for each other became misunderstood and then neglected among the challenges of adulthood; only to be given a second chance. Sometimes forgiveness is the key, the only key, needed to unlock the future. Is it easy? Absolutely not.
