Scars
The Killers Book 5
Brynne Asher
Being a spy isn’t for the faint at heart—especially for the brute American and the beautiful, cunning Brit…
Who am I? I’m Cole Carson and I’m the best at what I do.
Four years ago, the CIA forced me to babysit the young MI6 princess, Isabella Donnelly. Beneath my paygrade and skillset, but I like to think I taught her everything she knows—because I’m just that good.
Turns out, there’s a first time for everything because I was wrong about her. She pissed me off and challenged me in ways no one had before. I not only ate my words, I choked those suckers down with a bottle of whiskey when someone ripped her away from me.
Now she’s back and no one can know she’s here. And by no one, I mean all of the western world.
I’m determined to clear her name and make her mine.
It’s a tall order so it’s a damn good thing I’m me.
A dare…
Okay, fine. It wasn’t a dare. More like a wager, laid at my feet by none other than Cole Carson. It’s all semantics at this point—I’m stuck between the threat of prison and my arsehole American, whom I just can’t shake.
Trust me, I’ve tried.
I have no one to blame but my stupid, stupid heart.
I’m no princess and certainly don’t need a prince charming. I can kick arse all on my own—it’s what I came here to do. Taking a bullet was not on my agenda … neither was waking up in the hospital with Cole glaring at me.
But I’m here and I’m nothing if not determined.
But that dare…
I can’t focus on that until I clear my name. If Cole wants to tag along, so be it.
I am a Donnelly. We don’t give up nor do we bow down … to anyone.
I'm already a big fan of this series and the author so I am always excited to read anything she writes but after meeting Donnelly in the last book I've been dying to get to know more about her. Donnelly, Bella to her friends, was one seriously kickass heroine and I loved her strength. Not just physical but how she handled everything that was thrown at her. She never backed down from the fight to clear her name and she wouldn't let anyone push her to the background, instead she stood for herself and was determined to fight until the end.
She also wasn't so stubborn that she wouldn't accept help from her friends, and even Cole no matter how much they butted heads. She may not have always wanted to do things his way but she didn't push him away. Well not too much. When it came to their love life she definitely put up a fight but that was one of the reasons I loved them so much. Cole was determined to get Bella to stop running away from something serious and I really enjoyed seeing how all-in he was in their relationship.
Overall, the romance in this book is amazing and for that alone it's worth the read, but you also get the added bonus of intrigue and secrets that will keep you captivated. This is definitely a must read and I highly recommend it.
