About this listen

As the fiercest defense agent at the THIRDS, Destructive Delta's Ash Keeler is foul mouthed and foul tempered. But his hard-lined approach always yields results, evident by his recent infiltration of the Coalition. Thanks to Ash's skills and the help of his team, they finally put an end to the murdering extremist group for good, though not before Ash takes a bullet to save teammate Cael Maddock. As a result, Ash's secrets start to surface, and he can no longer ignore what's in his heart.

Cael Maddock is no stranger to heartache. As a recon agent for Destructive Delta, he has successfully maneuvered through the urban jungle that is New York City, picking up his own scars along the way. Yet nothing he's ever faced has been more of a challenge than the heart of Ash Keeler, his supposedly straight teammate. Being in love isn't the only danger he and Ash face as wounds reopen and new secrets emerge, forcing them to question old loyalties.

Brilliant

In this book we get to see the perspective of Ash and Cael and Charlie has done a wonderful job not to make it a jarring change.
Ash could easily be a dislikeable character but we see his vulnerability in this book and it helps to understand his prickly nature. It's also a testament to the excellent writing that we can see this softer side without compromising his already established persona.
I also really enjoyed seeing Cael's strength and depth of character - other than the little brother and tech geek.

Yes! We finally get Ash and Cael’s story!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 stars

Yes! We finally get Ash and Cael’s story and it’s all I wanted and more!!!

We still get more if the Team and Dex and Brody of course but this is Ash’s story and we’re given more insight into his past and guilt that’s kept him from Cael for so long. Cael never really gave up hope and as danger threatens their time and Cael’s life, we see Ash’s true power and love for Cael in spite of it all.

Another thrilling story, with heat and danger and still includes some patented Dex moments!!! Totally awesome addition to the series!

Thanks for reading!
