Publisher Description
A former gun for hire and a federal agent find themselves on the right side of love but the wrong end of a bullet in this Richter installment from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee.
On a fateful night in Las Vegas, FBI agent Leo Grant is working on a critical detail in a high-profile child prostitution trial when a beautiful woman jumps into the path of a bullet meant for him. Little does Leo know that the woman is Olivia, an ex-assassin who is seeking redemption one good deed at a time.
One minute, Olivia is lunging in front of Leo on the Vegas Strip. The next, she’s waking up in the hospital in a haze of pain with no memory of her past, her enemies, or even her own name.
With Olivia suffering from memory loss and completely unaware of the danger she is in, it’s up to Leo and Neil MacBain’s team of operatives to keep her safe. With Olivia and Leo both unaware of her past crimes, the two have little reason to avoid their growing attraction. Slowly her past seeps in through the cracks as she struggles to find the answers of who she is. When the veil is lifted and her dark past is staring her down, Olivia must turn her back on Leo and the love she can never allow herself to have, and race to find her would-be killer.

Exciting!
This turned out to be quite the exciting read. I loved seeing these incredibly strong and resilient women from the Richter Academy find a new life, and still be able to use the skills they learned at the school. Add in an amnesia trope and I really couldn't put this book down.
This is a spinoff series from the First Wives Club but more from book 5 of that series. That was the book that gave us Sasha's full story that introduced us to the Richter Academy. The First Wives series is one of my favorite series by this author, but I gotta admit this new series is taking everything a step up. There is just something about a heroine who can kick some serious butt. I'm all about girl power.
Olivia was such a cool character. She is someone you don't underestimate. The fact that she was forced into an assassins life, and we are at the point of where people who know her and care for her, are trying to prove she can have a better life, was just fascinating. You could see her struggle with wanting this new life and balancing it with how to do it and keep everyone safe. It was very realistic. Well, as much as an assassins life is realistic.
I'm a big fan of the hero being an alpha personality. That can be hard to get when the heroine is someone that can make most men cry. While she was more skilled than Leo, he never came off as wimpy either. It was a good balance to find and not take away what she could do.
While you don't have to read the First Wives series, I would recommend at least reading Sasha's book, Say It Again. Only because this series means more with that in-depth look into what these heroines were put through at the academy. So far, this has been a fantastic spinoff series. I'm looking forward to more.
