Another captivating volume in the Shadow Team series.
From the blurb:
Zach has always been a man torn between duty and family. Strong, capable, and fiercely dedicated to being a SEAL, he's made countless sacrifices to ensure the safety of his son and his country. Driven by guilt, he leaves newborn Charlie in the care of his estranged twin brother, and no one, not even his self-destructive team mate, Kai, can make him change his mind. Their partnership can never be anything but a clash of personalities, with Kai's fiery nature and Zach's stubborn focus on duty, but as they navigate their latest undercover mission, one more stolen moment is all it takes for every barrier between them to disintegrate.
Kai, former 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron, raised in a survivalist environment, is a skilled helicopter pilot, a loner, and never wanted a partner. When he's kicked out of the service for not being a team player, he moves from black ops to the new Shadow Team, alongside Zach. The team wants his ability to color outside the lines, and challenge authority—he just wants a job that gets him into the action. As their covert operation in the Canadian wilderness takes a dangerous turn, they run for survival, hemmed in by imminent dangers. With no one else to trust, they must lean on each other. But as their bond deepens, and passion explodes, will they live to see another day?
Contains mature themes.
Lesetiger's review:
This is the third volume in the Shadow Team series, which can also be read as a standalone novel.
I loved this story, just as I loved the second volume in the series. The deeply developed protagonists have a dark past, and the story offers plenty of action, suspense, and stirring emotions, so I listened to the audiobook in one sitting. The audiobook is very captivating and has a good pace.
The story is set in the present and there are emotional and stirring flashbacks to the past.
Zach has found a family in his SEAL brothers that he can rely on, unlike his family of origin. The part about Zach's son is heartbreaking, but Zach's decision is completely understandable to me.
Kai is new to the team. He is strong and fearless, but he didn't always work well in a team. In the Shadow Team, the two become partners and you can feel the electrifying attraction between them. But can Zach trust Kai?
First, they have to survive a undercover operation that is closely linked to Kai's past. Danger lurks everywhere, and I was really on the edge of my seat, hoping that the two of them would survive the mission unscathed. Their relationship develops slowly, is spicy, and despite the many dangers, there is a happy ending. Yeah!
Sean Crisden narrates the audiobook with his pleasant voice at a suitable pace and knows how to convey the emotions of the protagonists very well.
This was another one of those stories that had me hooked from beginning to end. I was thoroughly entertained with suspense, action, romance, and lots of emotions! Highly recommended!
How Much for a Life of Lies? is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback
