About this ebook

Tasha Taggart isn’t a spy. That’s her sisters’ job. Tasha’s support role is all about keeping them alive, playing referee when they fight amongst themselves, and soothing the toughest boss in the world. Working for the CIA isn’t as glamorous as she imagined, and she’s more than a little lonely. So when she meets a charming man in a bar the night before they start their latest op, she decides to give in to temptation. The night was perfect until she discovers she’s just slept with the target of their new investigation. Her sisters will never let her hear the end of this. Even worse, she has to explain the situation to her overprotective father, who also happens to be their boss. 

Dare Nash knew exactly how his week in Sydney was going to go—attending boring conferences to represent his family’s business interests and eating hotel food alone. Until he falls under the spell of a stunning and mysterious American woman. Something in Tasha’s eyes raises his body temperature every time she looks at him. She’s captivating, and he’s committed to spending every minute he can with her on this trip, even if her two friends seem awfully intense. He doesn’t trust easily, but it’s not long before he can imagine spending the rest of his life with her. 

When Dare discovers Tash isn’t who she seems, the dream turns into a nightmare. She isn’t the only one who deceived him, and now he’s in the crosshairs of adversaries way out of his league. He can’t trust her, but it might take Tasha and her family to save his life and uncover the truth.

Ratings and reviews

I loved the setup for this romance- it really worked for me. This series features the children from the first books. What sets this series apart is all the steam and kink, but here it would have worked better for me without many mentions of their parents and their knowledge of them in that scene. I did really enjoy the relationship aspect of this story between Tasha and Dare and the hints to possible future stories with some of the others, so I can't wait to see whose story we will get next.

An action-packed story with suspense, high-heat romance, and plenty of family hijinx So this is Tasha's tale. Her first time running her own op - I foresaw the battle she would encounter to keep control - They literally see each other like siblings, still made dear ol' Pops proud :) Naturally, things are going to go sideways, or possibly even f u b a r but they got this Blake did it again. A solid start to the next generation. This is one you will want to grab and don't forget to add the New R

This is the start of the Masters & Mercenaries next generation, and it’s one of Ian Taggart’s daughters that opens it – which is enough of an enticement for any Lexi Blake fan! The McKay-Taggart next generation are as awesome as their parents, and this is just a great opening to the series. Tasha and Dare are a delight in their interactions, both good and not-so-good, and the support Tasha gets from her family and the way they extend that even further – it’s a book not to be missed.
