US Secret Service Special Agent Luke Powell is lucky to be alive. Three of his fellow agents have died in unusual circumstances in the past ten weeks. Luke is devastated by the loss of his friends and colleagues, and his inability to locate the killer feels like a personal failure. He’s an expert at shielding others, but now the protectors are in need of protection.

FBI Special Agent Faith Malone is driven to succeed and confident in her ability to solve every case she’s assigned. She’s been put in charge of the investigation into the unprecedented attacks, and with Luke’s life in danger, the stakes have never been higher. But it’s hard to know how to fight back when you don’t know who the enemy is.

As more agents are targeted, Luke and Faith will have to work together to bring a killer to justice and prevent any more names from joining their fallen brothers and sisters on the Secret Service Wall of Honor.

This was my first time reading anything by Lynn H. Blackburn and only my second romantic suspense novel, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. While I’m still figuring out if this genre is for me, I found this book to be an engaging and enjoyable read.

What really drew me in was the mystery. The suspenseful plot, filled with action-packed moments and unexpected twists, kept me hooked. At times, it played out like an action movie in my mind, making it a fast-paced and exciting listen. I was more invested in unraveling the case than in the romance, though I did enjoy the chemistry and playful banter between Luke and Faith. Their relationship had great tension and buildup, even if it didn’t completely steal the show for me.

I also really appreciated the look into the lives of Secret Service agents and FBI personnel. This was my first time reading a story centered around these professions, and I found the dynamics between the characters fascinating. The camaraderie, teasing, and deep bond among the team added a fun and heartfelt element to the story.

As for the audiobook, the narrator did a good job, but she wasn’t my favorite. That said, the pacing of the story itself was strong, keeping my attention from start to finish. I also appreciated the light faith elements woven throughout the book—they added a nice touch without feeling overwhelming.

With no language or spice, this book is a solid choice for those looking for a clean, suspenseful read. For someone new to the genre like myself, this was a great introduction, and I’m interested in continuing the trilogy to see what happens next!
