She never expected to see her old flame again. Or be kidnapped by him.

The wrong place at the wrong time; that's the only way Sophia Reardon could explain her predicament. She wasn't even an FBI field agent and now she was being taken hostage. By her ex-boyfriend Cameron Branson. The moment Sophia walked into his undercover operation, Cameron warned her that his employers would want to break her. So keeping her by his side, pretending not to have feelings for her, was the best way to maintain his role in the dangerous organization, and the only way to keep them both safe. Because if they got their hands on her, she could expose him and his secrets. And then they'd no longer have any reason to keep her around.

My rating:

Omega agent Cameron Branson has spent the last eight months deep undercover to take down a crime syndicate and avenge his friend's death. He's this close to getting a meet with the big boss, when his former crush, the girl he severed all ties with when he was recruited, stumbles into a warehouse...


A decent premise, but utterly ruined by the heroine. Panicky, whiny, carrying a torch for a guy who didn't even touch her five years ago, but she knows he's her soulmate and resenting him for ghosting her, she was the epitome of damsel in distress, despite the brief moments of spunk and spine the author threw in to make her appear stronger. I especially hated how she blamed Cameron for her claustrophobia brought on by a car crash she was in a day after he disappeared, because she was supposedly so "distressed"...On the other hand, her first thought in the very first scene she appeared in the book, was that she's gotten lost. Not a good indication of her mental capacity, either way. Either she's stupid enough to get lost (and TSTL to stumble on an arms deal) or she's so prone to being codependent, she went into a meltdown because the guy she was dating (not even sleeping with) disappeared.

The suspense wasn't that great either. A constantly rehashed Harlequin plot about a guy deep undercover to bring down a crime ring/lord, suddenly having his hands full trying to keep a former flame (that still burns bright) from getting killed. Meh.
