This was a good start to a new series. While a lot of the action we've come to love from this author was absent for the most part, it set the scene for the teams mission There's so much to learn and uncover and I can't wait for it. This couple were the perfect pair to start defying Alex's expectations of his men, but considering what they have been through both in the past and after they met, they've more than earnt the rebellion. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I love love loved this book. I had some personal stuff going on that did affect a lot of my life, but I couldn’t help but get wrapped up in this book. I ended up staying up way later than I had planned. All readers know that’s a big deal to how good a book is to them. Blaze and Emma were great together. They listened to each other, and knew when the push/pull was needed. I loved seeing their relationships and friendships with other people. Overall, just a really good book.
