Another action-packed read complete with a 'second-chance romance'. This is Riley's story, the third Buchanan, who has come to a small town in Washington to locate another weapon to fight the Casus. What he finds is the woman he walked away from fifteen years ago when he became aware that his future would be a threat to them both. His Merrick is rising and both of them want her...
Of course Riley resists madly, the bad guys [including Westmore and his soldiers, the Casus 'meant' for Riley AND Gregory the villain from book 2] lurk in the wings waiting to strike at the optimum time, and Hope wants some quality time with Riley. We are introduced to a female Casus for the first time, a femme fatale with the accent on fatale... We meet an enigmatic character who seems to be a Casus but is apparently trying to help.
Riley's sidekick for this adventure is Kellan, a Watchman shifter from Ravenswing. I suspect he might be getting his own book in the future... Read the books in order, these books are very closely linked and sequential...

I really enjoyed this book. I had been waiting for this story and was pleased with the way that it turned out. I love that she wrote the female character in this as a strong woman, one who has had to overcome a lot to get where she is. And, it has one of my favorite themes. Love lost, love rediscovered. I totally suggest this book to anyone looking for a good read.

Struggled with this one a little, but still enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next installment.

Riley's waffeling back and forth regarding Hope is very aggravating. I kept wanting to shout at him "make up your mind already." I found myself skipping past all these self-discussion/recriminations. This crap annoyed me so much I actually had to force myself to keep reading. I only did so because this is a series book and I want to read about other characters. If this was the last book in the series, I'm sure I would have tossed it in the garbage. I like my alpha males and Riles is definitely NOT one. The ending kinda redeemed Riley's story but still not enough to up the rating to 3 stars.
