Outside of Titan
Group, there are few people that Roman Hart would die for. He’s a soldier, a
protector, and he’s haunted that one of the people he should’ve been able to
protect didn’t let him. That was years ago, and now a hardened heart and a
cocky attitude are his impenetrable shields, until one woman—one challenge—drives him to distraction.
On the outside,
Beth Tourne has it all. Luxury car, gorgeous condo, and a job partying with the
rich and famous. It’s a plush CIA cover, but she wants more. Anything for an
adrenaline rush that can override her guilty numbness and let her forget the
tragedy she never saw coming.
Their scars make
them perfect operatives. Their mirrored pasts give them deep, wounded reasons
to stay alone. But the more they ignore the tension, the more vulnerable they
become. Survival means trust. In one another, behind closed doors, and on the
job. The only way they’re making it out alive is if they find peace while
waging a war.
Roman Hart
Beth Tourne
For me, the Titan
series is synonymous with high-octane action and steamy romance. Cristin Harber delivers just that. Roman Hart is a hard-ass in a team of over
the top alpha males. He unequivocally loves
his family and is fiercely protective of the people he cares about. Beth Tourne is
a CIA agent and former handler for Nicola, Roman’s sister. We meet Beth through Nicola’s story in Garrison’s Creed. Beth caught my
attention and I could not wait for this story.
Both Beth and Roman
are crippled by tragedies in their past that causes them to emotionally shut
down. They are both shells going through
the motions of “getting things done” but never really living. Beth is interested in furthering her career
by becoming a field agent.
Unfortunately, her first opportunity to move into that direction comes
with a dilemma – how far is she willing to go to get close to her target? She
and Roman are just starting their dance, so this is the beginning of the
challenges the must overcome. Both are
hiding behind their work, creating a freezing cold emotional state. By getting together they must dig deep to
melt away the protective layers and take a chance. As Beth states, “Love is an
epic burden. But it wasn’t a death sentence.”
My biggest critique
is that I didn’t particular like
Roman. There were rare
moments of lightness but more often, he is heavy and dark. As a couple, I thought that Roman and Beth lacked balance. Roman was too
overpowering, too protective, too much, and that made him almost one-note. I wanted him to show more vulnerability, be softer around the edges, at least when he was with Beth.
On a minor note, I
was unsure of the role of “Montana.” He comes and goes without really making an
impact. Also, I really felt for
Cash. I’m surprised that he doesn’t have
permanent brain damage for the amount of injures he endures.
In A Nutshell:
This is a fine
romantic suspense, even though it’s not my favorite of the series. It has most
of the right ingredients for an adventurous read.
