REVIEW:
4 Stars
Another great book in the series! Karolena, man my heart goes out to her. What she escaped from no one should have to ever experience. He is the true scum of the earth. She wants a fresh start living life on her terms. She has no idea what she's in for when she takes a job with the Shields. She's introduced to a whole new world. Tavish and Legend are looking for someone to complete their trio. Once they get a look at Karolena they know she could be the one. She hasn't told the whole truth about her past. That leads to some tense moments. My heart ripped to pieces as she recounts her past. It makes it all the more beautiful for what she finds with Legend and Tavish. Tavish is a delicious kilt wearing Scotsman who has some inner demons to work on. The three have burning hot chemistry where I had to fan myself as I was reading. It gets HOT between them. The shenanigans with James are afoot again. That poor man. It's something I do look forward to, but don't at the same time. I'm totally intrigued for the next book based on the little set up we get at the end of this one. I liked this book because it was a little more calm for me after an intense one before this one.

BLURB:
When Karolena answered an ad for a live-in housekeeper responsible for taking care of at least a dozen guys, she was obviously desperate.

Although she hadn’t realized they were spies and assassins when she accepted the position, it could work out for the best since the Shields’ headquarters might be the only place she’s safe from the evil ex hunting her.

That is, if she doesn’t give in to the two agents that live across the hall who tempt her to do things that could be dangerous to her still healing heart.

Tavish is more than willing to show Karolena a good time so long as that’s as far as it goes. He’s learned the very hard way that it’s fine to sleep with women, or men, so long as you don’t trust them.

That’s only because Tavish’s partner—both in the field and the bedroom—has always made sure his judgement isn’t compromised when they surrender to their non-traditional urges together. Legend is the one person Tavish is certain has his back since he’s proved it over and over on life or death missions yet still, he’s not able to give the man the affection he deserves along with plenty of satisfaction.

So when they find themselves entangled with their housekeeper, and her ties to the mafia, they have to decide whether she’s capable of bringing the three of them together permanently or whether they have to get rid of her before she wrecks them for good.
