When Lara’s abducted, Tate stops at nothing to get her back.

For Tate Vickers, becoming a GHOST operative was inevitable. Being raised by GHOST operatives, he and his coworkers played rescue games as children. When he’s tasked to run the elite group’s satellite location in Kentucky, he jumps at the chance and brings his friends along. But Glen Hollow, Kentucky isn’t what it seems.

When local criminals break into her bakery and steal ingredients – repeatedly, her frustration grows. Then Tate walks into her small-town-shop, and his presence is as comforting as the cinnamon rolls she just added to the bakery case. Maybe everything will be okay after all.
Or maybe her real problems are just beginning. And Tate is tasked with the ultimate job…

Customer Reviews
Twisty immersion in a new series
This is an engaging introduction to the steamy rollercoaster that is a PJ Fiala series. The story takes you from the first day of state’s landing in town and meeting Lara, through the twists and turns of their steamy interludes and growing relationship.
If you love PJ Fiala’s stories, you will love this. If you are not familiar, it’s a great stand alone or series intro.
While I listened to the story, it’s definitely going to pull you in and keep you going for “just one more chapter…” in book form as well. The narration was smooth and added to the enjoyment.
While I received this audiobook as an ARC, this is my honest review.
Fast paced
Overall, loved the characters and setting. The plot does fall short for me though, to me it is not fast paced, it is rushed. Many of the storylines are just explained away and not fully fleshed out to their potential. There is so much anticipation surrounding events…only for the action to be abrupt and fully dealt with in moments. The romance was also pretty quick, it just didn’t seem very realistic or something worth yearning for. With that being said, I understand that this is a series and maybe some of those plot lines will be explained in other novels but if it’s marketed as a stand alone it should truly stand alone. It wasn’t my particular cup of tea, but for readers who enjoy fast paced novels with a happily ever after you will absolutely enjoy this book to the fullest effect.
