Review / Release Blitz: Spy With Me (Masters & Mercenaries: New Recruits #5) by Lexi Blake

Spy With Me by Lexi Blake is now live!

Zach Reed had two objectives when he joined the CIA team led by Ian and Charlotte Taggart. First, he needed to get close to Cooper McKay. Second, he needed to sideline or dismantle their operation. Getting to know Cooper was even better than he expected, but amongst the team he discovered a family he’d always dreamed of and a woman he wanted to spend his life with. Caught between his mission and his friends, his secrets are exposed, and his only choice is to run. He hopes someday he can make it up to the team and the young woman he’s fallen hopelessly in love with.

Devi Taggart thought she finally found the man of her dreams. Spending a long weekend with Zach filled her soul and satisfied all her deepest desires. But dreams turned to nightmares when she discovered he betrayed his team, including her brother. When Zach disappears, Devi swears to turn her back on the man forever. Unfortunately, the real bad guys have figured out she is Zach’s weak spot, which makes her a major target.

With Devi in real danger, Zach takes the situation into his own hands and offers her a place to stay with him. An offer he’s not about to let her refuse. As they navigate a criminal underworld, Zach is committed to showing Devi he’s the right man for her. If only they can survive his family.

MY REVIEW

Devi had her heart broken by the man she thought was one person, but ended up being someone completely different. Now they're stuck together and she's trying to wrap her head (and heart) around everything that's revealed. Is Zach the man she thought he was? The Dom she thought he was? Or is he the villain she's been told he is? All she knows is that she's in love with him, and he lied to her. It's going to take a lot of making up to do before Devi ever trusts Zach with her heart again.

Zach always meant to tell Devi the truth, tell the woman he was in love with, all his secrets. But he didn't get the chance. Now though? He's going to tell her while they're stuck together, and hope to hell she'll forgive him. He knows he doesn't deserve her forgiveness, doesn't even deserve any part of her, but he can't let her go. He'll have her back no matter what, sacrifice anything and anyone, to keep her safe, and that includes himself.

I love sassy Devi and spy Zach. They perfectly complemented each other in every way, physically, emotionally, everything. Devi may not be a spy like her love or most of the rest of her family, but she's learned a lot from being raised in the business, and it comes in handy when she needs it. Of course she doesn't do it alone, she's got a whole protective, badass family to come help rescue her, and not the least, her one and only love, Zach. Speaking of Zach...I do so love a complicated man with lots of issues, and Zach perfectly embodies this. He had a hard childhood and it informed his behavior, but with some love from his newfound family, and his Devi, he finally did some healing and growth, in time for he and Devi to end up with the happiness they deserved. Don't think the overarching suspense thread is done, though, because it's not, not by a long shot, and I'm itching with impatience to find out how Lexi will weave it into the next story featuring Ben and Kenzie.
