They say he has no nerves.<\/p>\n<p>All that\u2019s about to be tested.<\/p>\n<p>Amira is recruited by the CIA to infiltrate a terrorist cell living in rural Pennsylvania. She\u2019s the perfect plant, no one would ever suspect her. Because her brother was killed when a bomb was dropped on the Syrian hospital where he was working as a doctor. And now hate burns deeply inside her. She\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what they tell James when he\u2019s told to train her to be the best damn bomb-maker there is. In a secret camp, deep in the woods, James teaches her everything he knows about building bombs.

It gobsmacked me. Exiting, suspenseful, surprising, emotional, and horrifying, I still don\u2019t really know how to process all that I just read. But what an engaging read! More of a military suspense with a side romantic storyline than a straight-out romance, Jane Harvey-Berrick has given us something very different with this thought-provoking, gutwrenching read.<\/p>\n<p>James Spears is a member of the British Army working in bomb disposal, and his controlled, calm and focussed nature makes him one of the best. But when he is recruited into an undercover super-secret mission in the US, it will put James to the test like never before. He has only a few months to train two people to go undercover as bomb-makers into a suspected terrorist cell. It seems like an impossible task, and there is so much riding on him doing his job and doing it well.<\/p>\n<p>Amira is the civilian on the team. Her family escaped war-torn Syria when she was just an infant, and while her family have made a life in the US, her brother returned to his homeland as part of Doctors Without Borders, and lost his life in a US air strike. She is raging, grief-stricken, and filled with hate and she has the burning passion and intensity to do what is necessary to make sure her brother didn\u2019t die in vain.<\/p>\n<p>So for two weeks in a secluded forest, James trains Amira and her undercover partner how to stay alive, while he himself is kept in the dark about most of it and hoping like hell he\u2019s doing the right thing. And in the middle of all of that intensity, neither of them ever expected to develop feelings for each other.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just the beginning of the story and I\u2019m not going to say any more because it\u2019s a thrilling rollercoaster ride of emotions and intensity, with the story twisting all over the place so that you never know what\u2019s coming, and though it\u2019s not easy reading, it\u2019s utterly compelling and I struggled to put it down.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an interesting subject matter that JHB has chosen to write about, and though I know a little bit about the very real politics and the atrocities that the characters are dealing with, I admit that I\u2019m ignorant of a lot of the details, which made it all the more horrifying. The same with the religious themes \u2013 Amira is Muslim and, combined with the subject matter, it will probably put some people on edge, but I thought that it was handled respectfully, and I found the cultural and religious aspects really interesting and meaningful to both the characters and the story.<\/p>\n<p>And OMG, the feels! The book is written in the dual POVs of James and Amira, and their individual journeys are so beautifully written. We get right to the heart of these two characters, and watching them go through all that they do is quite the harrowing ride.<\/p>\n<p>And then that ending\u2026 I wasn\u2019t expecting it. I also wasn\u2019t expecting this to be a \u2018to be continued\u2019, which just about ripped out what was left of my heart. It\u2019s not a horrible cliffy, but the story is definitely unfinished, and though it will probably wreck me, I can\u2019t wait to get my hands on the rest of this story!<\/p>\n<p>Not my usual kind of read, but it still wow\u2019ed me! 4 stars.<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img

Jesus.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Smith had omitted that tiny detail when he\u2019d recruited me to train his undercover agents. It shouldn\u2019t have bothered me, but it did. It bothered the hell out of me that he was going to send a woman to infiltrate a terror cell run by some of the most dangerous and ruthless people on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The woman matched my gaze, her fathomless black eyes giving nothing away. She was dressed head to toe in black, with her face, neck, shoulders and chest covered, so it was hard to tell anything about her, but I would have guessed that she was about 5\u20197\u201d, between 25 and 40, slender.<\/p>\n<p>She shifted slightly and the robe revealed her shoes\u2014red and white Converse. They seemed a contradiction, but what did I know?<\/p>\n<p>Fuck all, as it turned out.<\/p>\n<p>She edged past me, heading for the bathroom and hurriedly locking the door behind her.<\/p>\n<p>I strode from the cabin, my anger building as I tracked Smith across the compound.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey! HEY!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was talking to another guy dressed in civvies, a man with over-developed muscles and a <i>fuck you<\/i> expression. I ignored him, my attention on the tosser who\u2019d brought me on this mission without sharing the full story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmith, are you kidding me? A woman?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He raised one eyebrow and folded his arms calmly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s Amira. She\u2019s perfect.\u201d But then he let out a sigh that sounded like weariness and a long-standing argument. \u201cShe\u2019s smart, real smart. She\u2019s committed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t seriously send her against ISIS? Do you know what they\u2019ll do to her if they even suspect that she\u2019s U.S. military or\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s not military. She\u2019s a civilian. A nurse, in fact. Works the ER.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I shook my head in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s a nurse? Are you insane? She won\u2019t last a day with those bastards! She\u2019s not trained for this!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stared at me calmly as I ranted on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019ll never make it! I\u2019ve worked with spies and they need to be streetwise, they need to know how to work with the criminals who\u2019ll get them the supplies needed. There\u2019s no way she\u2019s prepared for anything like that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith stared me down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake your ego out of the equation, soldier, and listen good. We need someone with above average intelligence so lessons can be quickly assimilated, and with excellent recollection skills both for training and recalling the conversations of the terror cell. Amira is strong in all these areas. We\u2019ve been working with her for a couple of months now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA couple of months? That\u2019s it? It\u2019s nowhere near enough,\u201d I objected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for. As well as your special duties, you and your other student, Clay, will teach her the basics: how to clean and fire a weapon, how to use a knife, hand-to-hand combat. Clay has a black belt in jujitsu. He\u2019ll watch her six.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I started to speak, but Smith and the goon were staring at something or someone behind me. I turned to see the woman standing at the cabin\u2019s entrance, her arms crossed in front of her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks for your concern, soldier,\u201d she said, \u201cbut I don\u2019t need it and I don\u2019t want it. Just do your job \u2026 and I\u2019ll do mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Writing is my passion and my obsession. I write every day and I love it. My head is full of stories and characters.
