Bargaining with the Devil

I can't believe I'm saying this but I loved this novella even more than the original.

Jack and Ethan decided that they would keep things between them physical whenever they cross paths but looks like that's happening way too often. Ethan can't seem to want to keep away and keep interfering in Jack's operations. It's also probably because he is concerned for Jack's safety and wants to make sure he is doing fine, but will never say it out loud. Jack knows that he is developing feelings for Ethan that are definitely more than sex and loves having him around but will never acknowledge that.

The way they both want to protect each other while also denying their true feelings is too endearing. Ethan shuts down and runs away quite a lot when things get intense but I love the fact that he always comes back and listens to what Jack has to say. His implicit trust in Jack is too sweet and it's nice to see more of the other side of the assassin Ethan Blade.

I can't wait for the next book to release because I'm sure it'll be another sexy roller coaster adventure.

besides me always mistakenly reading “Jake Riordan” (from the Adrien English series) when it's “Jack Reardon,” i really enjoyed this one!
