Book Review
Where do I even begin with this book??? Tara Sivec you never cease to amaze me. I'm ashamed to say this book has been sitting in my library unread for quite a while. Now I'm thinking WTH took me so long to read it, SMH. I am a huge fan of Mrs. Sivec’s chocolate lover’s series. I'm still waiting for more Gavin, wink! When I first heard about this book being a mystery/thriller love story, not going to lie I really didn't know what to expect. What I did get was a phenomenal page turner with so many WTH moments I couldn't even keep count.
This is Garrett, Parker and Milo's story. Oh ya LOVE TRIANGLE or so I thought (sigh, smh). This story begins with us finding out Milo (Parker's fiancé) has been killed while on assignment. Let me go back a moment to the relationship of these three. Eight years ago fate had it these three would meet in a coffee shop. Parker's eyes met the most handsome man she had ever seen (Garrett). However, the concept you snooze you lose kind of applies here. His very attractive friend went in for the kill and the rest is history...... OR is it?
Parker may have been physically with Milo, but her heart always belonged to Garrett. Garrett and parker struggle with boundaries concerning their friendship in this book. The pull/chemistry these two have for each other is WOW! Garrett is a navy seal and Parker an accomplished photographer (or so we think, smh). Over time after Milo's mysterious death, facts concerning the case don't add up. It leaves them with the question who was Milo really?
An investigation is then launched into the death of Milo. As Garrett and his team get ready to ship out parker has other plans.... Umm as in I’M coming along for the ride. If you’re like me, you’re probably asking yourself how can a Civilian with no military training go on this mission? Oh let the secrets and lies begin!
Let’s just say parker is overly qualified as In CIA a** kicking qualified! Ya this was my first WTH moment. Needless to say the strain on her and Garret's relationship became double at this point. The tension, feelings, chemistry and emotional tug of war these two had going on were obvious to everyone around them BUT THEM. Oh but when they finally gave in.... Sigh!
The love these two had for one another got them through the lies, secrets and drama they faced on this mission. Everything in their life had been a lie with the exception of their LOVE for one another. The mystery Mrs. Sivec gave kept me eagerly turning the pages because I had to know what happened next. Garrett/parker’s mission of uncovering the truth left them vulnerable at times to so many emotions my heart broke for them both. The saying love causes people to do crazy things rings so true in this book……. Lying for love and killing for love just to name a few.
There's so much more I can say about this book, but I'm stopping for fear I’ll give to much away. The secondary characters in this book I loved. Garrett's seal team were his brothers in arms and life. Eight years ago parker was alone with no one/no family and then she Met Garret/Milo. They quickly became family. One thing we all know is Family doesn’t give up or turn their backs on family until one has reached the point of no return. Yes I know I’m leaving you with a very cryptic statement to end this review but TRUST ME READ THIS BOOK!!!
Again Mrs. Sivec I LOVED THIS BOOK. Can’t wait for book 2!
