About this audiobook

A code only she can break...

A man only she was made for...

Julie Trueblood's name is found alongside an encrypted message in the safe deposit box of a dead man, bringing Navy investigator Hank Jared to her door, looking for answers. The daughter of the most infamous spy of the twenty-first century, Julie denies any knowledge of the man or the cipher and sends Hank away.

Hank is supposed to be in the Adirondacks walking his sister down the aisle, not chasing leads on a John Doe murder investigation that doesn't even appear to be Navy-related. He's a military man through and through, and while an order is an order, he hasn't given up hope of finding a way to make the ceremony. When Julie contacts him and says her life is in danger, Hank finds the perfect place to hide her, right by his side, pretending to be his girlfriend at his sister's wedding. Now he just needs to remember their relationship is all an act.

Sparks fly between Hank and Julie as they defend against a hidden enemy and seek out the truth in this deadly game of cat-and-mouse. The coded message brought them together, but its secrets hold the power to tear them apart. Guided by her generous and quirky Aunt Gwen, Julie will gather the courage to unravel the cipher that was meant for her to decode, as she learns to trust the man she was meant to love.

Ratings and reviews

Fast-paced and suspenseful, this novel finds Julie not knowing whom to trust and finding that those closest to her could be her enemies. The attraction between Julie and Hank is strong, one that turns to love and as such Julie knows she has to put distance between them. I love the main characters in this book. Hank is a man doing his job but is battling to make sense of the situation he finds himself in. Julie is confused and doesn't know who to trust. Gwen is a shelter in the storm of life. Together they blend to make this an exciting and romantic novel.

I tried this book because the blurb looked like it would be a great read but it kinda got lost in translation. While the premise of the book is good unfortunately the story comes out kinda choppy with no real character development. I mean no I am not a big fan of insta love but the things this author has happening in the name of love just didn't wash. Let's also talk about the h and her being easily turned against the man she is so in love with after a 5 minute conversation with someone she didn't trust but after this 5 min conversation she's his biggest fan. While we read to escape the realness of life this type of story needs to have more reality than this author gave it for it to work. I will try more of this author's work probably in hopes that while this one wasn't for me who knows the next one could rock my socks off.
