The guardians, the shadowy heroes of the top-secret program designed to protect members of the most elite government organizations, are being hunted down one by one. There is a single explanation: a traitor must be embedded somewhere in their midst. But if they themselves are the target, who will protect them?

CIA operative Renee Niezen has heard tales of the guardians, though she's never really believed in their existence—until she is approached by Charlotte, an old friend who desperately needs her help to stop the systematic destruction of the guardian program. Renee accepts the plea for assistance, but not everyone is thrilled to have her on the team. Kade—one of the last guardians standing—is unimpressed with Renee's qualifications and turns instead to the legendary Saint Squad for help. But when Renee is caught in the crosshairs, Kade must set aside his antagonism for the woman in order to protect her. Their grudging alliance soon develops into much more—but before the pair can examine their feelings, their investigation takes a dramatic twist. With lives on the line, Renee and Kade must use their spy training at every turn as they draw dangerously close to the shocking truth.

I love Traci Hunter Abramson, and couldn't wait to start this book. I was hooked from the first page and had a hard time putting it down until I was done! This is one of those books that is best to experience firsthand and will be most enjoyable if you like suspense. It combines the guardians and the Saint Squad so it was great to catch up with characters from prior books and see what's currently happening with them. This also works well as a stand alone, so if it's the first book you read in this series, you won't feel lost (but might feel like you're missing a lot of back stories).

I loved both Renee and Kade and the way they interacted with each other. They didn't get along at first and had to figure out a way to work together to discover the truth. While romance isn't the focus of this book, I think there is enough to keep a romance reader happy, so I would recommend it to those that enjoy clean romantic suspense. If you are already a fan of Traci Hunter Abramson, it's a must read! The ending is satisfying and also leaves the door open for more guardian books in the future!
