Jacqueline Hughes still smiles every time she thinks of her father. Still misses him at every family dinner. Feels him on every job. It’s been three long years since her mom called her unexpectedly to tell her he was gone. Jac has spent those years hiding the pain and convincing her father’s crew that she can lead them. Being young, pretty, and female in construction are almost impossible obstacles to overcome. But she has not only succeeded, she has triumphed. The job, the company, her father’s reputation - these are the things most precious to her.
Wade Mitchell, former Navy SEAL and co-owner of Trident Security, is eager to start his latest assignment. Someone has been sabotaging Hughes Construction's current job site. Weakening the stairs... stealing supplies... canceling orders. Wade's job is to infiltrate the company, expose the traitor, and, of course, rescue the damsel in distress. And Jacqueline Hughes is one hell of a damsel! Wade has been waiting weeks for a chance to get his hands on her curvy, little body. But Jac is a woman with rules. And rule #1 is - Never get involved with a man you work with. No excuses. No exceptions. Wade, however, has a different philosophy when it comes to relationships - Rules were made to be broken!
sigh...i really wanted to like this book. i adored both characters from another book, but Jac ended up becoming the antithesis of a strong, intelligent woman...instead, she was selfish, self-centered, and immature.
I love this series! This book was not only about Jac and wade but we also got to see bits of Anna, preacher, Bronwyns, Einstein and the rest of the boys. My favourite couple are still Bronwyns and Einstein as her story was heartbreaking and heroic! Jac is a very strong women who's been taught that to accept help is a sign of weakness. Wade has been taught to help and protect his whole life. So you can see the struggles their relationship faces. It was good to see Jac take control over wade and wade ease up a bit too. They really had to learn to compromise. A good story. Can't wait for the next!
This book is the best of the series..It answered & polished all bits & pieces felt unfinished from book 1 & 2. Although the 3 books describe 3 different love stories, (but very similar to each other) this one felt more real. Also I liked the combination with the book One Heart - Two Souls. This is the first time that I read something like that & I really liked it.. It gave the story a more solid ground to make it feel real. I highly recommend this series even though at first had a lot of mixed feelings about it but eventually in the end the author managed to fulfill my desire in this read
I love this series! I have a thing for Military men, married to one myself. This series is another example of the strength and bond built between men, and the respect they give each other. When you add in the women they love, it turns hot. Can't wait for 2015 (I know another 1 1/2 years) for the next book!
I really enjoyed this book. However it took me a little bit to realize that this story is going on simultaneously (I was confides at first) as the other books in the series. :-/. Overall very good!!! :-D
I like how the characters are more three dimensional. They're becoming like friends and family. I also like how the author ties the current story to the previous book. Good idea especially if you started at the third book or something like that.
