Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author delivers an explosive thriller perfect for fans of Laura Griffin and Heather Graham featuring a dangerous cult, an ex Green Beret, and a female private investigator who will stop at nothing to rescue her missing sister and unmask a high-stakes conspiracy.
Former Green Beret Edge Logan has made a new life for himself at Nighthawk Security in Denver, using his finely honed skills to neutralize threats of all kinds. When he overhears friend and fellow agent Skye Delaney discussing a new case involving her missing sister and a mysterious cult, he offers himself as backup. With her own military background, Skye is gutsy and more than capable, but a cult like Children of the Sun is too risky for anyone to investigate alone.
Skye is grateful for Edge’s experience, even though she is aware of the attraction simmering between them. Her battle scars make her reluctant to get involved with anyone, much less a coworker—even a warrior like Edge. But infiltrating the cult’s compound is more complicated than expected—and something much more sinister than worship is clearly going on behind its walls. As the pair works against the clock to unearth high-stakes secrets, the personal barriers between them begin to crumble. Together, can they unmask the face of evil before their time runs out?
“Will captivate series fans and new readers alike.” – Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Martin blends lusty romance with high-octane military action in her fast-paced third Blood Ties: The Logans contemporary romance (after The Last Mile). Both "sex personified" Green Beret Edge Logan and his feisty, gorgeous colleague Skye Delaney at Denver's Nighthawk Security Co. had military careers they loved. Then Edge was forced to resign for speaking out against a shady higher-up and Skye suffered a body- and soul-wounding injury, causing her to return to civilian life. When Skye's sister, Callie, a college dropout at 21, is taken in by the sinister cult Children of the Sun, Skye and Edge make it their mission to extricate her, plunging into a maelstrom of drug cooking, smuggling, organized crime, and murder. All the while, the passion grows between them, deterred only temporarily by Edge's desire to return to the Army and Skye's fears that their intense physical attraction will burn out. Martin gives her well-matched protagonists the help of sexy comrades in arms—many of whom readers will recognize from earlier volumes—and pits them against some appropriately heinous (if slightly clichéd) villains. This sizzling, rapid-fire romance will captivate series fans and new readers alike.
Customer Reviews
Undeniable attraction!
This was a story of two competent and formidable former military personnel who had gone through some tough times, both physical and mental. Both Edge and Skye had their reasons to be reluctant to start any kind of relationship, either physical or emotional. Skye’s physical injury had left her feeling undesirable as a woman and Edge’s wrongful dishonorable discharge made trusting someone difficult. They both find that their skills and undeniable attraction to each other override their reluctance. It was nice that both Edge and Skye could handle whatever came at them, both the known enemy and their own doubts about love.
Best one yet
This is the 6th book by Kat Martin I’ve read. I think by far it’s the best! Lots of action, several intertwined plots, it just kept me on the edge of my seat. The cult, the arms dealing, drug labs, all seemed believable and ripped from the headlines.
Sooooo good!
A book you won’t want to put down. A fast paced romance thriller that is a page turner you will want to read in one sitting. Edge and Skye are coworkers and both ex military that work well together, but they do have some sexual tension between them. When Skye sister Callie has been off the grid for 2 months, Skye promises her stepmother to check out Callie’s last know location. Edge offers to go with for support and backup. When they scout out the commune / cult there is more to it then either one realizes. The whole Blackhawk Security coworkers get involved and the story flows wonderfully.
This is the third in the series, but definitely can be a standalone. Now I want to read the previous books. Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #OneLastChance #KatMartin
