When danger lurks behind a familiar face…

Successful architect Rachel Granger loves her job and her life, but when a terrorist on the FBI’s most wanted list targets her, there’s only one man she can trust. She hasn’t seen Jake in years but her former college friend told her he’d always be there for her and she definitely needs him now. Even though her feelings for him go far deeper than friendship and just being around him risks her heart, she would do anything to keep those she loves safe from a madman bent on unleashing hell.

Only one man from her past can help

FBI Special Agent Jake Evers made the biggest mistake of his life when he let Rachel slip through his fingers over two years ago. It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t seen her since then—if she needs him, he’ll be there. When he learns that she’s the target of a domestic terror cell, he’ll do everything in his power to keep her safe. He’s never gotten over her and won’t risk losing her again now that she’s reappeared in his life. But the threat is more widespread than they realized and now it’s a race against time to keep her and scores of innocent civilians alive.

You know, I hate it when romance overshadows logic in books. And I can't tolerate plot holes.

First of all, you do not just let somebody who could help you apprehend terrorist check in a hotel and leave only one agent to guard her. Those guys are called terrorists for a reason so your witness should be safe at all times and having her in a hotel definitely is not safe. You don't have to be an agent or whatsoever to know that. It's common sense. 

And how can you not know what the terrorists want with an architects designs/floor plans? They're pretty dangerous to somebody who has a history of bombing shit. If you have a floor plan, you'll know which foundations to bomb to make more damage instead or randomly planting an explosive anywhere and make an escape easily.

The two MCs felt so bland. Like they were two dimensional or something. I couldn't feel the spark between them at all. 

I liked the concept of the story, but the lack of chemistry between the hero and heroine, the plot holes... It was just too much for me.

Lessons I've learned after reading this?

1. Respect your sister's belongings and privacy or else you might end up being kidnapped by a terrorist and lose a finger.

2. If your friend is spouting anti-government stuff, then you should be alarmed. Don't brush it off and take it as a joke else you might end up being kidnapped by a terrorist and lose a finger.
