great

I really enjoyed this book. It was a little long but worth the credit. I thinknout of the whole series this id the only book that I teared up on.

Mr and Mrs Smith Vibes!

This book gave me "Mr and Mrs Smith" vibes and I was completely here for it! Stefi and Joao were two traumatized kids raised together as assassins and fell in love against all odds. Secretly married at 18, they kept completing their missions but found ways to be together until one day Stefi didn't survive her mission and Joao was left reeling. A year later, to escape the clutches of their leader, Joao faked his own death and went on with his life. Eight years after Stefi's disappearance, Joao finds out that she is in fact alive and it sends him reeling! When he finds out that she is not only alive but in danger, he goes to find her and bring her back to Venice.
Stefi has been on a mission of revenge and dismantling the assassin organization that kidnapped her as a child and ruined her life. When she was forced to fake her death and then found out that Joao was dead, she spiraled and turned her life's purpose into one of revenge. On a mission, Stefi unknowingly walks into a suicide mission and Joao is the one that saves her.
As they both reel from the discovery that the other is still alive, feels come to the surface against and their pull toward each other is undeniable. Stefi is steadfast on her mission for complete revenge and Joao makes it his mission to support her through it all while trying to discover her secrets and why she chose to fake her death and leave him all those years ago. As the story unfolds, more secrets are revealed and Joao and Stefi fall in love all over again. And after everything these two have been through, their HEA is extra sweet! There is so much action, suspense, drama and of course love. It was hard to put this book down and it flowed so well I want to go back and read the rest of the series! Tara Crescent knows what she is doing and I am excited to read more of her work!

MY REVIEW:
The narrators did a great job bringing these characters to life. Joao and Stefi were interesting. I really enjoyed the Mr and Mrs Smith vibes this had going. Stefi was a smart baddie! She was an awesome and strong FMC that was on a revenge mission and once you find out why I’m all here for that mission! Joao was also like a golden retriever who would do anything for his wife Stefi. They were amazing as a team. One’s strength was the others weakness, so they complimented each other very well! I thought they were a good team and I was very interested in the story and where it was going to go! It was a fun read and that kept me captivated and had some twists. But I would recommend this book!
