When a feisty young woman is thrust into his life, Carmichael MacGregor has one choice, let his wall down and show her his true self or risk her life to a madman.

This is the 3rd book in this series, and it can be read as a standalone, however it may be more enjoyable if you have read the other books. Lennox wants revenge on those responsible for her father’s death. Victor Sokolov is the one to give her this information and he agrees to help her but it will come at a price, can she trust him? Carmichael is The Watch’s top agent and is after a serial killer, when he meets Lennox, sparks fly but can he keep her safe? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. Great characters with lots of depth and intense chemistry. I really liked it.

This is the third book in the Watch series. It is not necessary to read the first two, but it will increase your enjoyment.

Lennox wants revenge for the death of her father. Victor Sokolov has told her that the Watch is responsible for his death, but, is Sokolov really the one to trust?

This was a great book to read. The twists and turns kept me glued to the book until the end. I'm looking forward to the next book.

I received an advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

Great read

A cracking read in the series - also works as stand alone (I had read 1 of the previous books) but useful if you have read the others for context. Well written, well developed characters.
