Navy SEAL Jay Wellman is a member of the Saint Squad, a portion of the larger squad that killed Osama bin Laden. Jay suffers emotionally when his part of the mission doesn't go exactly as planned. Carina Channing's family and past still haunt her years after her mother was murdered. She can't change the fact that she's been born into the Chicago Mafia by virtue of her father. As a young adult, she's given up her own dreams to protect the dreams of her two younger sisters. Carina's life has a very fragile balance and it's put in jeoprady when one of the members of "the Family" arrives. Carina and Jay happen to meet and become acquainted through Carina's youngest sister. When trouble comes knocking on Carina's doorstep, Jay is immediately there for the Channing girls and takes it upon himself to keep them safe. As they spend more time together, Jay and Carina begin to develop feelings for one another, but must consider the circumstances, as well as their beliefs.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading every Traci Hunter Abramson book I've read, this one included. I love the way she combines romance, action, mystery, and religion into one novel. This one in particular had a larger mystery element, so that was entertaining to read. It's fun reading all of her books because they're nearly all intertwined, too. You can find updates on characters from a previous novel in her newer novels. Her characters are very likeable and their relationships seem real. If you like LDS fiction that includes some good action, I think you'll like this novel.
The Last Word: Suspenseful read, more action than romance
