Entertaining!!!

I really enjoyed the first book in this new trilogy. The chemistry between Evie Bishop and Dylan Blackwood was never lacking. You could tell right from the beginning that they clearly loved each other. Despite what happened between them in the past, Dylan was right there for Evie regardless of whether it was for the situations involving involving her family or her past career. The narrators, Jeffrey Kaffer and Heather Costa did a wonderful job. I am not normally a big fan of dual narration but I thought that their voices worked together wonderfully and added to the enjoyment of the story. I am looking forward to the next two books in this trilogy and seeing how the drama surrounding the Bishop family gets resolved.

This is what I'm talking about!!!!

Audiobook: Narrators – Jeffrey Kafer and Heather Costa I absolutely LOVED this narration! After reading this book I couldn’t wait to listen to it and I’m so glad I did! These narrators bring these characters to life in a way that pulled me into this world more so than the book alone. Can’t recommend the audio enough! Oh yeah! Now this is what I’m talking about when I’m looking for a great romantic suspense! Evie has carried guilt for the last year after using Dylan to make a connection to a CIA target her group was looking to take down. She never expected to fall for him, but just reading his bio before she officially met him caused a reaction within her. Actually getting to know him meant falling in love and when he proposed, her lies and guilt overwhelmed her and she could do nothing but run. Dylan was all in with Evie from the first moment he saw her. Their relationship was everything he didn’t know he wanted. When she rejected him he was left broken hearted and confused. Now she’s in need of help for a friend and this time he’s going to get all the answers to his questions. And then he’s going to get her. ”Knowing she was in his house, under his roof, turned him on. Everything she did turned him on. It was beyond reason. But that was just the way it was and he was going to have to accept it. Because he didn’t think there was another woman for him other than Evie Bishop. She was his not-so-secret addiction.” This starts off with a wild action sequence and never slows down. Evie is one kick butt heroine and I was afraid that I wouldn’t like Dylan for her because of it. But that was not the case. ”Sometimes when she looked at him, she saw the warrior looking back at her. He might have left the Marines, but the Marines hadn’t left him.” He not only held his own, he was protective without stepping on her toes or acting as if she wasn’t fully capable. He allowed her to do her job as she saw fit, even when everything within him said to grab her up and run. I love a strong hero and Dylan proved that having the strength to let his woman do what was needed, even when it went against his own desires, made a hero even more alluring. There are several issues going on in this story. Some are in regards to Evie’s brothers and I can’t wait to read their books. The other is a mystery that Evie and her friend are trying to solve. As they delve deeper into what’s going on, I had a suspicion of who the villain was. I was wrong. Which is often the case in this author’s stories. But the unraveling of the clues, the final plan to trap the bad guy and the resulting consequences of that plan, had my heart in my throat. This is one adrenaline inducing read that totally enraptured me page after page. This is one of those books you’ll want to read in one sitting. Unfortunately, life royally screwed me over and I was unable to do so. In between life I was sneaking one more page or paragraph because I couldn’t let it go. So heads up, be sure you’ve got your schedule cleared and don’t answer your phone! (My biggest mistake!)

Fabulous beginning to this new series

Whenever I pick up a book by this very talented author, I know I am going to be blown away by it. This one certainly proved that point. So much so, that I not only read the book, but had to get the audio as well. It made the story even more real ! Evie Bishop left the CIA a few months ago and has come home to re-group. When a CIA agent and friend comes to her front door shot and telling her that two other agents from a mission are dead, Evie seeks the help of the man she left behind. A man that at one time was her mark, and one she fell in love with. Dylan Blackwood is a wealthy property owner whose heart was broken by Evie. But when she shows up in his house covered in blood, he doesn’t hesitate to help her. The chemistry between these two is dynamic but secrets are still kept and the trust that was broken is hard to get back. In the midst of all this turmoil, we get a glimpse of Evie’s two brothers. Men who are also going through life changing circumstances of their own. The story is engaging from the first page to the last. The characters are complex and perfect in their imperfections. The story is filled with whodunit, bad guys, a hunky good guy, strong females and of course, romance. What more do you want !?!? The two narrators were superb. Another winner by this creative author.

Wow OH Wow! Sooo Good!

Wow oh wow! Is this a good book or what? I loved everything about this story! It’s full of action, suspense, romance. You name it it’s in here! Evie is a former CIA agent. Through that time she had a case where she met Dylan Blackwood. Little did Dylan know that he was part of that op. She needed him to forward their case. Well funny how this happened but they each ended up with feelings for each other. So he decided to propose and she left. Left! Ghosted him! Argh!! Now she brings him back Into her life to help a former co-worker. Danger decides to follow her. Dylan was awesome in here! He is the perfect guy! Strong and silent when each need arises. Plus he still has the hots for Evie. So everything he does...he does with her safety and love in mind. Secondary characters Always help make a story. These are no exception. I wonder if a few will get their own stories :-) This is a first time author for me. I love the flow of the story. It easily kept me wowed! The characters were great And deeply complex. I listened to this on audio with Jeffrey Kafer and Heather Costa. Each did a amazing job and they were easy and joyful to listen to.

Falling For The Bishops

The Bishop Family is in chaos. Evie can't believe one brother is in a coma injured in a bombing while the second is on the run accused of murder. Evie is home trying to understand what's going on. She's plans to use her resources to get answers. What no one knows is that she's a retired CIA operative. I liked that Evie may seem to be a socialite with impressive family connections, but in reality she has lethal skills and worked dark ops. Suddenly her life takes a dangerous turn. Someone is trying to kill her and her former teammate. As a result she reconnects with former love, Dylan Blackwood. She broke his heart when she rejected him. I l was impressed how Dylan had her back. When they're together the chemistry is off the charts. I understood why Evie left him but I was sorry she hurt him. He's a great guy and a powerful partner. He's intelligent and honorable. I was glad that Dylan is seeing the real Evie. Katie Reus has a winner with Bishop's Knight. I liked the characters. They are a powerful and fierce. They will fight for what's right. Dylan and Evie are both strong characters. The story is suspenseful with some unexpected twists. I wanted to know who is behind the attempted murders. Why are they trying to silence her and her friend? Miami is the perfect setting. I'm hooked on this Trilogy. I can't wait to learn more about this fascinating family. The narration added to my enjoyment. I felt as if I was right there in the middle of the excitement.

Fantastic!

I'm so excited that there is a new Katie Reus series. This book did not disappoint. I loved it! I devoured it! I want more! Evie was awesome. I love a heroine who can hold her own. She's ex-CIA and forced to investigate as a civilian with a CIA agent she has worked with in the past. Two women who know how to kick butt and take names. Dylan is my kryptonite hero. He's former military, now a millionaire real estate mogul. He's the strong, silent and very, capable hero. He also has no idea that Evie was in the CIA. He gets a new look at Evie when she shows up at his door needing his help. I was nervous when I read the blurb. I hate that Evie walked away from him but the author did such a good job of bringing them back together. I loved how they both handled things and I wish more second chance was done this way. I adored Dylan and Evie's story and I can not wait to see what's next!

Absolutely fantastic first in a new series by this

Absolutely fantastic first in a new series by this author. I also love how it's dually narrated. I have listened to many narrations by Jeffrey Kafer; however, this is a first for narration by Heather Costa. They do a remarkable job of bringing this story to life. The story is strong, and an amazing first for this series I cannot wait to see what else the author will give us. Evie is one tough woman until him... Dylan will never give her up... I loved the chemistry between Evie and Dylan

Great stand alone

I dislike cliffhangers so I was thrilled Ms Reus’ trilogy didn’t leave everyone hanging about the main characters. This book is the story of Eve, one of 3 Bishop siblings. While the entire family is under a dark cloud, Eve is a strong, capable woman who worked as a spy when she met Dylan. They’re thrown back together when she returns home and he gets to see a different side of the woman he fell in love with, and who walked away. She’s equal parts strong and vulnerable, as is he. He doesn’t beT his chest and make demands, but stands next to her when she needs help. Sexy steamy scenes and great character development with a nice, tight storyline make this a must! Plus, no overly dramatic, melodrama insight!
