This friends-to-lovers romance was full of the story line and plot twists that I have come to love from Brittney Sahin. The suspense and intrigue around who the shooter was and why they tried to assassinate Knox’s father keep me wondering and trying to figure it out along with the STEALTH OPS team. However, Knox and Adriana didn’t seem to have the same heat as some of the other STEALTH OPS couples. I was also expecting more from Knox, since the build up around his past in the previous books was so mysterious. I did enjoy the interactions with Echo Team, which I helped build up my excitement for their upcoming stories. While this isn’t my favorite book in the STEALTH OPS series due to lack of heat between the two main characters, they story line and plot twists more than make up for them.
