Band of Billionaires #3
Covert Sins
Deadly secrets stalk them both…
Archer: The whole world knows that Zara hates me—she’s told them several times over. But she’s the only one who can help me right now.
I can’t be distracted by her short skirts and sassy mouth when my dark past stalks me. If I lose my focus, we’ll both be in danger. But when I’m near her, she’s the only thing I see.
Zara: Humorless, stuffy, and completely wrong for me, that’s Archer. I’ll laugh in his face before I translate anything for him. But then he makes me an offer I can’t refuse.
The more I learn about him, the more I see that his past is more mystery than fact. And that his stuffiness hides a passion I can’t resist. I need to keep away, but the closer I get to knowing the real man, the harder he is to resist.
Band of Billionaires: A tragic secret binds them together… Revealing the truth could tear them apart.

This is the third book in the ongoing research to decipher the journals. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Zara is a woman who knows what she wants and that isn’t Archer, in her opinion he is stuffy and lacks any warmth or sense of humour. She lives her life the way that she wants to and is a free spirit so when he approaches her and asks for her help with translating the notebooks she isn’t going to just up and agree although she is attracted to him on a primal level after their first meeting went so badly how can they possibly work together but Archer is the puzzle of all puzzles and that she is determined to solve. But will her attraction be able to be denied and can she hide the way she is starting to feel for this man that she never wanted to love?
Archer is the master of tech as far as their little group goes but even he is having trouble trying to decipher the notebooks which leaves him with one other option and one that he knows is going to be nearly as hard as trying to translate the journals. Asking Zara for help is the last thing he wants to do but he needs her. After their first meeting she has made no secret as to how she feels about him and looks at him with hate but spending time together he sees something he wasn’t looking for. But there are secrets and lies abound and Archer knows that he is about to lose the woman he has fallen for, can the love he has found survive?
These two were really compelling characters to read and I would recommend this book however I suggest reading the others in the series before attempting this as you may get a little confused. And the ending sets up Gage’s book. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy of this book. 4.5*

This third book in the series didn't disappoint. The guys are still trying to figure out the notebooks and Archer is their go to smart techie guy. He has a network that can decode but he is not making any progress. He's smart enough to know he needs help. In comes Zara...she's a genius with translations and loves poetry.. Their first meeting/debate didn't go well and left both with bad feelings towards one another. Both notices each other in a primal way and Archer decides to ask Zara for help but he knew it will be a battle. Zara is forced to assist him but she doesn't regret it..She loves puzzles and Archer sexy self is beginning to grow on her. The attraction between the two is intense and they begin to fall for each other. Their banter is hilarious and entertaining. I love Zara's free spirit personality which is very opposite to Archer's cold and controlled one. Opposites do attract in this case. Secrets and lies tests their new found romance but Archer does something sooooo hilarious at the end to win Zara back that it had me in stitches. If that ain;t love I don't know what it is...LOL..Loved the ending and the set up for Gage's story.. If you haven't started this series you should...very addictive...I'm hooked!

Book hangover!
Mr conservative, stiff, stuffy Archer and flowery, animated, brilliant Zara are as opposite as you can get but the contrast blends so perfectly within them it just works! This is the third book in the Band of Billionaires series and it's my favorite so far. The conclusions like the last two leave it open to continue the series but they're not cliffhangers. They do leave me hungry for the next installment and for the first time I am glad I didnt gobble this one up at release. I'm glad I have the next one already on deck to dive into! Raleigh Davis has built an AMAZING world in her books and I have actually tried finding the characters IG accounts. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. Surely these people must exist for how bold and clear they are written in these stories. I love this series! It's dark, compelling, interesting! Part mystery, part romance, not the traditional trope but something entirely new and exciting. More please!

They puzzle out their attraction
Covert Sins is the third book in the Band of Billionaires series and this time it is Archer and Zara's story. This series must be read in order and it is worth it as the books are well written and have a seriously wonderfully mysterious story.
Archer and Zara do not much like each other when they first meet as the sparks fly. But soon those same sparks are flying for a very different reason. Add in the continuing mystery story-arc and this one is another great book. I can't wait to read the next in this series and see what happens.
I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

I enjoyed the book
The writing was well executed
However the story doesn’t fit “covert sins” title in my opinion
While yes the mystery of the notebooks makes it seem covert it’s more focused on outing a bad guy that doesn’t even happen
Worth the read but definitely read the other books to get full satisfaction

Do yourself a favor: Get. This. Book.
It is worth every penny.
This story is really well written, has characters that are created with tantalizing depth and a captivating story line.
It grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and turning page after page throughout the whole book!

I really enjoyed this book. You do get a lot more background information if you read the other 2 books in the series first but it’s not a must, it just makes the story more enjoyable if you do. I loved the chemistry between Zara and Archer. I didn’t want the book to end though I am now anxiously waiting for Gage’s book.

The book is a good romantic suspense read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry.

The story line was good and the story had a smooth flow to it. The character work was great. I was entertained from beginning to end. I look forward to the next book in the series.
