Cover blurb:
From USA Today bestselling author Katie Reus comes the ALL NEW Redemption Harbor series where sparks fly and so do bullets…
She faked her own death…
Skye Arévalo left the CIA and faked her death to protect Colt Stuart, the only man she ever loved. Months later, a brutal kidnapping draws her to infiltrate a dangerous cartel. Just when she thinks she’s home free, things go horribly wrong and she escapes with bloodthirsty enemies on her heels…only to find herself face to face with a bewildered and angry Colt.
He’ll cross every line to save her…

Romantic suspense is my book crack, and I loved Katie’s ‘Deadly Ops’ series, so when I saw ‘Resurrection’ was available on Netgalley I had to request it…and miracle of miracles for a new blogger, I got approved! Of course, then being able to find the time to read it was another matter entirely…there are times I hate having to adult and show up for work, sigh. But I finally had the chance, and devoured the the book! Katie did not let down in this first book of the Redemption Harbor series.
Colt Stuart has been grieving the loss of his CIA partner and lover Skye Arévalo for 6 months, and the recent loss of a childhood friend. He receives a tip that Mary Grace is being held by a drug kingpin’s family and Mexico so he mounts a solitary rescue mission to find her and retrieve her. At the same time, Skye also receives a tip and sets up her own rescue. Skye had faked her own death to protect Colt and his close-knit group of friends, and she can’t let him lose Mary Grace too.
Skye is a badass, and pulls off the rescue successfully on her own-who needs a man when you have a LOT of explosives? In the process though, the women are found by Colt who is dumbfounded to find the rescuer is his lost love. And of course, fireworks commence!
And that’s just the beginning! The rest of the novel takes us along for the ride as Colt and Skye must overcome the danger that has kept them apart and threatens their lives and those of their friends and family. ‘Resurrection’ is full of action and suspense and yes, the perfect side dish of smexy!
I can’t wait for the next book in the series, and would definitely recommend it to others who share the same book addiction with me!!
