Stealth Ops #7
Chasing Daylight
Trusting a traitor is dangerous--but falling in love with one is the deadliest sin of all.
After eight years of completing missions around the world, A.J. Hawkins is ready for more--he's ready for love. The one person in his sights? A gorgeous redhead, a woman who isn't interested in a commitment after recently going through a divorce. And the last thing A.J. wants is to be a rebound.
After officially ending her marriage, Anastasia Quinn accepted a career-advancing position to be part of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division. But only a few months into the job, and the unit's most valuable sources begin disappearing. When the FBI determines there must be a leak, the President dispatches help from outside the Bureau.
Anastasia never expected A.J. the sexy Navy SEAL with Southern swagger and an amazing sense of humor, to be one of the men brought in for help. Working so close with A.J. will make it next to impossible to deny their explosive chemistry. But the last thing on her mind should be whether or not she's capable of love again, especially not when she finds herself at the center of the investigation as a suspect.
A.J. will do whatever it takes to clear Anastasia's name and keep her safe, even if that means going on the run.
As the hunt for the assassin continues, A.J. realizes that the one woman he'd die for may be the one woman who wants him dead.

Reread 3/12/21
Felt like revisiting my favourite cowboy SEAL who never backs down from a bet, proudly wears American flag boxers and will never just stand by while his friend is in a pickle, and my favourite red-haired FBI agent who loves making lists, who panic cleans or has panic sex (but only with her cowboy) and is accused of being cold but turns into a fiery goddess (again, only for her cowboy).
I missed my favourite duo and I'm missing them again already.
I will never change my rating (unless to increase it) for any reread even if I don't like them much now, because at that point of time I loved the book enough to 5 star it and that speaks of my initial reaction to the book. That said, I still love Chasing Daylight as much I did back then and I wish could give it 6 stars because it's still as good as I remember.

I know every time a fan gets a new book from an author they love they say this is their best book ever, I am certainly a fan like that. I have, of course read books that don’t meet my five star requirements from authors I love, but typically I think they improve with every single book they release. Brittney Sahin has always delivered incredible novels, but Chasing Daylight truly is her best work to date. The characters were far more fleshed out than in any of the other previous novels, the story line is gripping and unique, and it was the kind of book that held my attention from not just the beginning to the end, but even came up in my mind over the course of the days when I wasn't reading. There was so much adventure, plenty of romance, some downtime that we typically haven’t seen in the series, and an operation that takes place on the character's home turf.
While each of these novels can be read as a standalone, Chasing Daylight features two characters that loyal fans to the series know and love; A.J. is the hilarious, tough cowboy in Echo Team, and Ana is FBI that had previously helped their team out on a mission. While they cannot stop thinking of one another and we all know they’re suited for each other, the two deny it to themselves as anything real. Fate pushes them together, but the timing is terrible. In Chasing Daylight A.J. decides what he feels about Ana is the truth and he’s willing to go the extra mile to protect her despite the fact that she just might be his mark. Plus, we get to read about spies!
I love that in this book the characters really are the entire operation. Sure there’s still traveling, there's still an operative assignment, but this novel is more heart than any previous. We have a lot of personal talk, family time, and with the series being quite a ways in, many of the other members of the team are already tied down. Like every novel in the series the female characters, specifically Ana, are stand out heroines. They are full of sass and brains and I love them. Ana was just as much a part of the team as the men. I guess you could say A.J. is an alpha, though I personally wouldn’t, because love completely changed him.
This novel had passion angst, quite an incredible suspense story line, and all the romance your heart could desire. Chasing Daylight just became my favorite in the series.

Chasing Daylight has everything you could want and more in a novel. Brittney has this amazing ability to convey the raw emotions of her characters across the pages. Chasing Daylight is filled with Russian spies, missing sources, FBI leaks and a drunken phone call would push A.J. and Ana's paths to cross again, nearly a year after meeting; a year that A.J. kept thinking about the redheaded FBI agent who had gotten under his skin.

This is one of the best books in the series so far! I loved everything about it! The romance, the adventure, and catching up with some great characters! I highly recommend this book. Of course it can be read as a stand alone but you will gain so much more insight by reading the entire series! I am an Alabama girl and these characters stole my heart!
July 30, 2020
This book will have you roped in from the beginning!! AJ and Ana's story is by far one of my favorites!! From learning about Ana's past, to AJ's past coming back to set him straight. You wont want to stop reading until your finished! Oh those Alabama boys!! Definitely a must read!!
July 17, 2020
Brittney was truly amazing in how she wove this story together. The perfect amount of detail about even the minor characters in the book, you feel like you’re watching a movie! You can picture Ana and AJ swimming in that Alabama lake at sunset with fireflies and sticky ice cream. It’s easy to get wrapped up and feel like you’re Ana, getting swept off your feet by the Southern charm of AJ. His fierce loyalty and devotion from the moment they met is felt and then reaffirmed by his love for his family and friends from the start of this book. AJ is my new book boyfriend. I’ve been waiting for this book for quite a while and it did not disappoint. I couldn’t put it down and read it in about two days.
To give you a little more about AJ and this book (series):
Every unit in the military has several personality types in it which are present. You have the strong, silent type, the muscle, the brains, the bad boy, the defender, the daredevil, the natural-born leader, and then there's the goofball. Everyone tries to discredit the goofball, but they're just as important to the mission as any other person. We have a saying in the Army... work hard and play harder. Get the job done and then cherish the time you have with those you love. These are your goofballs. They know their priorities and know how important just one laugh is in stressful situations. When you live and work in a high optempo environment with a lot of stress, laughter gets you through it. That's our boy, AJ.
We first meet AJ in Finding Her Chance walking around in Star-Spangled boxers, a cowboy hat, and a pistol. That's it. The next time we see him is in Finding The Way Back chasing down an attempted assassin to a Presidential candidate. Ana and AJ first meet there in Charlotte, but working for opposing teams. She works for the FBI and he is a part of an elite, but covert, team of Navy SEAL operators. She's annoyed with some of his antics, often called by her separated husband as “a cold fish". She's rough around the edges, by the books, stubborn, and very straight forward. However, by the end AJ may have just gotten through the obsidian walls of Ana... making her even crack a smile at him. Timing is crap, though.
About nine months later our story begins. Ana and AJ still can't stop thinking about each other, even though they have yet to meet again, both trying to use every excuse in the book to not contact each other. One drunken call and 24 hours later, AJ is thrust back into Ana's life. AJ is at home in Alabama with family on the cusp of his little sister’s wedding to a man he doesn’t think is good enough for her when wheels go up and he’s headed off to DC on mission. They’re being tasked to find the leak in the FBI when sources go missing, particularly Russian sources key to bringing down the Volkovs, a ruthless Russian mob known for planting sleeper groups in the US during the end of the Cold War era. Ana’s unit is assigned to working with those sources, so when her picture shows up in the case file, AJ must find out if his heart belongs to a traitor. It doesn’t look good when Ana starts “running” after her boss goes missing, AJ right beside her to try and get to the bottom of just what’s going on, but he knows she’s holding back on something. With a little bit of Southern charm, the beauty of an Alabama skyline, and having no one else to trust Ana confides in AJ and his team to help save herself and the missing FBI sources.

Another great read by Brittney. Each of her books is not only exceptionally written but the content makes each of her books hard to put down.
Ana and AJ's story is another one that I had a hard time putting down to get some sleep.
The entire Stealth Ops series is a must read. With all the great alpha characters coming together to assist Ana even though she is considered a traitor to the USA.
AJ can't stop thinking of Ana after meeting her briefly last year (in Knox's story) and he is stuck; not wanting any other woman except her. He just doesn't know how to approach her.
Their lives intersect in this book and they finally get to explore their attraction to each other while trying to find out who is framing Ana.
This book had it all, drama, suspense, intrigue and love. It also gives us a preview of AJ's entire family and I can't wait for that series.
I am also excited to see the remaining alpha characters of the Stealth Ops: Chris, Roman and Finn.

Every single Stealth Ops book is amazing, and I always wonder if Brittney Sahin can keep it up with each subsequent book. And you know what? She absolutely can, 110%! Chasing Daylight is amazing! I was so excited to get A.J.’s story and it is not only a great one, it is a long one too! Which is awesome when you can’t get enough of these books! She does not skimp on her stories at all! This book is full of drama, love, suspense, and intrigue. I couldn’t put it down. I devoured it in one sitting. I loved it.
July 18, 2020
Another top notch outing for echo team and Brittney I always love how when I’m reading one of Brittneys books I feel like I can actually visualise what is happening, this series could so be developed for tv. I loved the intrigue, involved and the love between ana and AJ and how that developed through the story and I can’t wait for the rest of AJs family to get their stories. Looking forward to the next outing for echo team

AJ’s & Ana’s book Is hot and explosive. Who wouldn’t want to read another great book by Brittany Sahin? The book has a little bit of everything twist,turns,suspense and of course romance. Couldn’t put it down!
July 19, 2020
Just finished Chasing Daylight ...... I am speechless. I loved A.J and Ana´s love story. Couldnt stop reading. Brittney Sahin your writing is amazing, its captivating and you never stop surprising us. Thank you for creating such amazing books. Without you there would be something missing in this world.

Brittany did a great job on this book. That book makes you happy and sad and will pull at your heart ❤ strings. She put a good spin on it to allow more character and more series to be added. I cant wait to see what she has coming next.
July 18, 2020
AJ and Ana were smoking! The angst, the drama, the passion! Brittney crushes it again and I couldn’t put it down! The sexy cowboy SEAL is so...! Definitely on my re-read list!
July 21, 2020
Great book! Great series! Loving this group of characters so much. AJ & Ana, wow their chemistry is off the charts & their story was such a great mix of mystery, suspense & romance!
July 17, 2020
Oh wow... what can I say. This was such an amazing story! A.J and Ana finally explore their attraction to each other but under less than stellar circumstances. What starts out as surveillance for an op turns into something much larger than anyone could predict. Their love story evolves quickly but dangerously as well. I loved all the other subplots going on too. There’s so much happening in this book it’s gonna take another reread to let it all digest lol. This book had it all, drama, suspense, intrigue and love. Once I started I couldn’t put it down! Awesome. Can’t wait for the next book now.

I was sent an ARC of this book to review. First, I love Brittany’s Dublin Nights series and have read every one-twice. I was picked to read and review Chasing Daylight - part of her Stealth Ops series. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the first few books in the series so coming in late to the party to review this ARC, was a little confusing for me because there’s a lot of reverence to characters from her other books from the series in this book.
What I love about her books is that she intertwines a really good story, bringing in suspense as well as the romance factor.
In this story, we follow Ana Quinn who is an FBI agent who is working undercover trying to catch some Russian spies. It also follows AJ Hawkins, part of the Stealth team brought in to help uncover a mole in the FBI who is responsible for several informants to go missing. Ana soon becomes the prime suspect because of secrets in her past. AJ who secretly pines for Ana (again... this is something that developed in a previous book) decides to help her clear her name. Since I didn’t read the book that preceded this one, I didn’t realize Ana and AJ worked together previously. Saying that, I put enough pieces together to follow the storyline without issue.
I loved Anas character in this book. She’s smart, brave yet vulnerable. She may be a bit too trusting because she’s burned by those she trusts. AJ is just a great guy. He is so protective of Ana yet has enough respect for her to let her work her case. I love the way the team works together. Their personalities, strengths and sense of humor.
I’m not going to give away the plot because it would contain spoilers. But it’s action packed and left me guessing and re-guessing along the way. I loved how Brittney intertwined family and adventure to make for an entertaining book.
I would highly recommend but I would also recommend reading the series in order first because I think it would be helpful for character build and carryover.

* I received an ARC and agreed to leave my review*
Chasing Daylight introduces two broken people, afraid they're undeserving of love, and haunted by their pasts. AJ & Ana met during an op the year before this story takes place and while AJ was immediately drawn to her and made no secrets about his attraction, Ana was more hesitant. Recently divorced and closed off, her attraction to AJ makes her nervous and forces her to face feelings she'd rather push down and ignore.
The two are thrust together, again, when AJ's team is called upon by the POTUS due to a potential mole in the FBI. Ana is one of the suspects and all clues point to her as the traitor. AJ volunteers to surveil her and is determined to prove her innocence through any means necessary. Ana, also stubborn, refuses to step back to allow AJ to clear her name. They embark on quite the journey together as they encounter traitors, spies, and one of them landing on the FBI's Most Wanted List!
AJ is a true Southern gentleman and the epitome of the "cowboy fantasy." He loves hard and loves with all he has. '"I told you, I got you. Don't worry."' perfectly sums up who AJ is as a man, friend, and lover. Throughout the story, AJ's confidence and acceptance in Ana allows her to blossom into the woman she didn't think she could be.
Anastasia (Ana) is haunted by her past, through no fault of her own, and is described as having a 'cold dead heart' by her ex-husband. She is a great FBI agent and puts all her efforts into her work as a means to ignore her feelings, failures, and fear. She's an orphan and doesn't know what it's like to have familial love and support until she's introduced to AJ's Alabama roots and his family.
Throughout 'Chasing Daylight' AJ and Ana are forced to face their fears and together, they begin to accept they're worthy of love and are allowed to have good lives. I absolutely loved this story; top 2 of my favorite of Brittney Sahin's Stealth Ops books. I highly recommend reading this one!!!

Brittney Sahin’s Chasing Daylight will keep readers on the edge of the unknown from the beginning of the story until the final page with many humorous details in between. The main characters Anastasia or Ana and A. J. spend most of their time trying to figure out who is a trusted American supporter and who is a dirty agent endeavoring to frame Ana. Like most of the Stealth Ops series, there are minor characters who eventually get their own narrative and who help with the theories and seek to uncover the wrongs committed. Ana is an FBI agent with high psychological walls because her parents (Russian spies) were murdered by the FBI. She works diligently to make up for the supposed wrongs of her mother and father. Throw in A.J., a member of a special task force, under the direct guidance of the Commander-in-Chief, and there is an explosive story to be relished. Ana is a good agent trying to do what is right to make the world a better place and figure out what really happened to her parents. A.J. is an honorable alpha hero, who consistently attacks Ana’s walls with love, devotion, loyalty, honesty, and steadfast determination. She is his other half, his reason for living, the very breath he breathes. Readers feel the intense emotions of Ana and learn of each fact at the same time that she uncovers the bits of information. They feel her pain, panic, sadness, and frustration. There are mysteries, surprises, family dynamics, dangers, sex, and a profound love. Sahin blends a dramatic story writhing with true-to-life dangers blanketed with sexual tension so well that it’s hard to determine where it leads. At one point I, along with Ana, thought a certain person was the double-crossing FBI mole; needless to say, we were both wrong. The tale is well-written with few mechanical errors which makes it a pleasure to peruse. The characters are interesting because they have depth to them, and readers easily appreciate a vicarious life through their actions. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable read, and anyone who has not experienced a Sahin book needs to put one on the to-be-read list.

This book wasn’t anything I expected, it was so much more!!! AJ and Ana...OMG! They might be my new favorite couple, next to Liam/Emily and Wyatt/Natasha. Lol! AJ, also known as Alexander James, is Echo Two and our American flag boxer and cowboy boot wearing Southern boy. Anastasia or Ana Quinn is the red headed FBI agent we met in Knox’s book, Finding The Way Back.
I loved watching these two grow individually and conquer their fears and even more together. AJ was the one who made Ana’s heart work, warm, and made her feel alive again, but I also think it worked the same way for AJ. Ana taught AJ how to let go of the past, learn to move on, find love, and be happy. This book gave me all the feels and it had everything I love in a book, the steamy love story, our favorite Stealth Ops men and their spouses, and the suspenseful and eventful military op that has you on your toes. Chapter One was not how I expected this book to start, but I loved it! It definitely pulled at my heart strings as well as a few other scenes in this book brought a few tears to my eyes. As a Southern girl, I believe cowboy handsome is definitely a thing and AJ is the exact definition of that!! I think a pair of Wranglers, leather chaps, and a Stenson will make any girl swoon if he looks anything like AJ. I absolutely loved AJ’s family and they displayed southern hospitality to the “T”. I can’t wait to read what Brittney comes up with in the Alabama series and the rest of Echo Team. As always, I give this book my seal of approval and a 5 star rating. If you haven’t read a book of Brittney’s you need to because you are missing out on greatness!!
I received an ARC copy of this book in return for my honest review.
I loved watching these two grow individually and conquer their fears and even more together. AJ was the one who made Ana’s heart work, warm, and made her feel alive again, but I also think it worked the same way for AJ.

Each book Brittney writes in the Special Ops world is full of amazing characters, some we’ve gotten to know really well in their own books, and others we are eager to get to know. Each book includes as much romance as it does action and suspense. This book is an immersions into a world I love to visit and doesn’t end before you are fully satisfied with AJ and Ana’s story.
We first met AJ and Ana during Knox and Adriana’s book. I have been anticipating this story since these two characters first meet, and boy did Brittney deliver an amazing story for them. Full of suspense, some twists and surprises, some humor and lots of emotion.
AJ is one sexy cowboy/Navy Seal who loves his family and his team. He’s one heck of a catch. Ana is at first a tight laced, list making FBI agent, but when you get to know her you discover she’s experienced some unbelievable and significant things in her life which give her so many layers. She’s so much more than what your first impression leads you to believe.
The action is pretty intense as AJ and his team are asked to spy on Federal agents who may or may not be traitors. Ana is on a special task force and ends up working with AJ and his teammates, meeting his family back in Alabama and falling in love.
I loved the introduction of AJ’s Alabama family and friends and believe some fantastic stories await in the coming years of this sexy and sassy bunch.
I received an ARC from the author and am leaving a review because I love Brittney’s books, and this one lived up to the 5 star read I’ve become accustomed to from this author.

I was impatiently waiting to receive the ARC of this book. I i read Brittney’s teasers for AJ’ book and would curse her a little because she is the queen of building the anticipation. When I received the email that it was sent I squealed a little ( ok I may have squealed a lot). AJ and Ana’s story was everything I had hoped and more. I was pulled into their story from the very first page. I had a hard time putting it down but life got in the way. I’m glad I took my time reading it because I was able to savor every word on every page. I had moments of laughter and tears. Moments where I just closed my eyes and said I didn’t see that coming. I am in awe of Brittney’s amazing talent at putting words and feelings to paper. She takes you on a journey from Washington DC to Alabama ( where you meet AJ’s family) and all the way to Budapest. The pages are filled with love, laughter, family relationships, intrigue and plot twists that will have you saying “ how did she come up with that?”. Brittney Sahin I take my hat off to you! I loved this book so much and I hope you pick it up and get swept away.
I highly recommend this book and would give it 20 stars if I could

Explosive!
Chasing Daylight is another great book from Brittney Sahin that will make your head spin. Like her other Stealth Books, this one is also masterfully written to get your mind engage, so you need to pay attention. What a thrilling ride!
AJ Hawkins is Echo Two. He is someone who usually riles up Wyatt, Echo One, and goofs around with his Stealh Op buddies. His family bled the University of Alabama colors. He loves his family and is pining for Anastasia Quinn. But underneath it all, he lives with pain and guilt.
Anastasia Quinn is a brilliant FBI agent with double master's degree in criminal and forensic psychology. But according to her ex-husband, she is heartless...distrustful and keeps many secrets.
Another clandestine operation puts them in each other's path once more and this time there's no going back, only forward. Together they will expose betrayal and greed; discover secrets that's been hidden for 15 years, and take time to fall in love. But is Ana ready to open up her heart and let go of the pain? Is AJ willing to let go of the guilt and be happy?
When AJ finally accepted to be happy and Ana eventually let her hair down, they blend together like a mint julep in a hot summer night...easy and refreshing! I love this couple and I can't wait for the Alabama series.
This is an advance reading copy for an honest review.

Wowza! Brittney Sahin pulled out all the stops with Chasing Daylight. It's jam packed with fast paced hard hitting action, spies, traitors, dirty agents, and treasonous plots. Top that off with a charming Alabama cowboy and an uptight FBI agent and you've got it all. I was completely captivated by this book and did not put it down until the last page was read.
You can't help but adore A.J. Hawkins. He's sexy, gorgeous, protective, loves his family, and oozes southern charm. He's lusted after Anastasia Quinn for a year and now he has the chance to get closer to her. Just not in the way he imagined. Ana is intelligent, insightful, dedicated and beautiful. This alluring redhead is as attracted to A.J. as he is to her but acting on it will have to wait. She has to find a traitor first. One who's tied to her past. A.J. along with Echo and Bravo teams step in to backup Ana before her mission turns deadly. A.J. is determined to protect Ana at all cost as he woos the woman he's fallen for.

I've just finished reading Chasing Daylight and my goodness this book is brilliant. It has everything you would expect from such a brilliant and thorough author. Brittney Sahin has excelled herself. The characters are, as usual, excellent and the storyline so intriguing and absorbing you can't help but be drawn into the pages. The main characters Alexander James (A.J.) and Anastasia (Ana) are beautifully written, and I love that Brittney has given A.J. a lovely singing voice, it makes him seem more real. It's also nice to have him come from a nice close family, his parent and siblings sound perfect.
Reading any book by Brittney Sahin is always a great treat, she is such a thorough researcher of facts so as to make the places and plots more real and understandable, I feel I've been around the world
with the team and joined in their ups and downs, laughed and cried with them too.
So book lovers, give yourself a treat and get this or any other book written by Brittney Sahin and I promise....you won't be disappointed. All in all a book I'd highly recommend, thanks again Brittney...brilliant.

Brittney and her words... She's seriously amazing at writing romantic suspense!!!
Ive always loved A.J ever since he came onto the scene. With his southern charm and those damn American boxers lol.
I knew when it came to his story we'd have a funny one because he's one funny guy. But then we'd also get a bit of a sad one too. Because damn those parts where Marcus appears *sobs*
I just couldn't wait to read his book and I was excited about getting to know more about Anastasia story as we met her in Wyatts book. When A.J meets her he was a goner lol.
How Brittney comes up with these stories I'll never know because they're so detailed and I know there must've been alot a research on the topics that were in this story.
A.J and Ana's story was hot, sweet, sexy, explosive, sometimes a little sad and absolutely hilarious. You know when A.J's with the team or his brothers you just know you'll be laughing out loud.
I loved everything about this book and once I started I couldn't put it down.
I'm excited for the next book now as it's Chris's turn *swoons* now I know that's going to be one hell of a book too xx

I received an ARC of this book and I am thrilled that I did! Its another fantastic book from author Brittney Sahin. In this book we see AJ and Ana finally get their HEA. There are so many nuances to this book. After not seeing each other for almost a year, AJ is asked to work a case involving possible traitors to the US of which Ana becomes the primary target. This begins a story of trust and betrayal, love and friendship through unimaginable trials. In this book we get to understand who Ana is and where she came from. Just when I thought I had a grasp on the story another twist was presented. For those who like suspense with a touch of romance this book is for you. I could literally hear AJ speaking while reading and I have to tell you, it gave me shivers. His love for Ana shines through the entire story and a man in a cowboy hat? Yumm
I would love to see the teams books made into a movie, the twists and turns would make for a great
show. This is a must read for all, I absolutely love this author and each book is better than the last!

Where to begin with AJ and Ana’s story well one word WOW action passion and excitement aren’t even close definitions to covering their story . Instant intrigue from the first sentence to the last. All the men on Bravo Echo are to drool over then add some southern charm twang and your an instant Bama fan. AJ does that to you he started to creep into your veins in some of the other stories and captures your heart and soul within his own. Protective passionate and “Avenger” like with the woman he loves. Absolute hands down to the Author Brittney Sahin for giving us a hot southern family oriented alpha with as much steamy yum-ness you could muster with a side of heart melting family closeness. Instant favorite read.

I never wanted it to end! Chasing Daylight is some of Brittney Sahin's very best storytelling. This book delivers heart pounding intrigue that will have you white knuckling your e reader along with a swoon worthy romance that checks all the boxes. Reading Chasing Daylight was truly like watching a crazy good television show.... one I would definitely binge watch over and over. AJ is a badass operator loaded with southern charm and Ana works for the FBI in Counter Intelligence. When their paths cross again they explore their mutual attraction while trying to prove Ana isn't guilty of betraying her country. Chasing Daylight is crazy good from the first page to the last.

Sahin has once again delivered another suspense filled book that will have you blocking out the daylight and chasing the darkness of this story.
A.J. is our cowboy with a sexy southern draw and the goods to back him up. As part of Echo Team, he delivers a bit of humor to the Group. But lately he’s been off his usual game. He’s still vigilant in his duties with the Team but he’s had a longing that can only be filled by a woman, a woman he can’t forget or have. But when an assignment comes through, A.J. is dealt a hand that only he can play. The woman he can’t forget is his subject. Anastasia Quinn is the focus of an internal government investigation. It seems that the government has some shady officers. Ana however, is deep into her own investigation and undercover. And possibly hiding from A.J. and herself. When they’re thrown together by chance, they’re both taking a risk. A.J. believes her story and she wants to protect A.J. Lines are blurred and crossed. Pasts and demons aren’t what they seem. Trust and truths are bent. Can these two make a run for what their future may hold or will they fall short?
Once again, Sahin has written a story that has relatable characters, a storyline that could be a news headline on any given day, and heroes we all need for hope of a better tomorrow.
A.J.’s teammates and significant others along with his family make appearances. The family dynamic was impressive, and we see a family with strong bonds, values, and confident female role models, something I applaud Sahin for giving readers.
This is the latest installment of this Series and I am looking forward to the next book already.
