Missing Details is an intriguing and unique delve into secret military units and political aspirations.
When Nic learns he can read and manipulate minds he questions everything he’d ever done and it causes him to do something he never dreamed of…joining the military. With his special abilities it made the work he did for the secret military unit he belonged to seem like an asset instead of a lability. It gave him purpose and direction. Although now with it almost time to retire he’s focusing on how to keep his work going. When he runs into Alex he wants to be around her, but still doesn’t trust himself around her.
Alex thought she had her whole life planned out and then Nic basically says he doesn’t want that future anymore and disappeared. She knew she loved him, but she eventually moved on. She went to law school as planned, became an attorney, and got married. Her husband turned out to not be what she expected, so when he passed away she wasn’t exactly sad. Just like before…she moved on. She was focused on being the best attorney she could, and maybe even getting her dream job, but all that balanced on what was going to happen when everyone found out she was Max Gold’s secret daughter. He was running for president as a joke, but his handlers were using them for their own agendas. It had him a slim possibility to actually in line to win.
Between work, her father, the election, and a crazy woman demanding she’s her sister, what Alex did not need was another thing to stress her out, so when she runs into Nic she’s torn between being excited and finally being able to get the closure she never got.
What I loved about this book is that I got all caught up in Nic’s story. I was on the edge of seat as his team was going to rescue one of their own. Not to mention, trying to find the spy amongst them who was ratting them out. It played right into Alex’s world without her even knowing it. Then you add in the chemistry between Nic and Alex and it was a thrilling ride from beginning to end.
Engaging and adrenaline-charged, "Missing Details" blends psychic espionage with mature second-chance romantic suspense, marking the first installment in an exhilarating new series.
The plot centers on an elite team of gifted supersoldiers tackling high-stakes covert missions. Each member is relatable, equipped with a unique set of personal issues and integral skills.
The slow-burn romance, while not entirely closed-door, includes minimal spice, allowing the emotional connection to take center stage. This approach adds authenticity to their evolving relationship.
One of the book's standout features is its refreshing focus on protagonists in their forties. This mature perspective adds depth and realism to the narrative. The characters are portrayed with nuanced backstories, offering a compelling look at personal growth and reconciliation.
An accessible, fast-paced contemporary writing style ensures an immersive read from start to finish. The narrative is packed with political intrigue, cinematic action, and heartfelt inner journeys, making for a satisfyingly well-rounded experience.
The promise of future books featuring the love stories of different exceptional operatives suggests a series with rich potential. If you're seeking a character-driven novel that combines suspense, supernatural science fiction, and romance, "Missing Details" could be a great choice.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley, for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book. It wasn’t the book I thought I was getting from the cover and title ( I thought it would be a regular romance or mystery) however, it was a great read, and kept me turning the pages. I’ll certainly follow Tori to find out more about her super- soldiers and their extraordinary lives.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an early review copy.
