Good read with an action oriented plot. In some ways it's a typical espionage plot but I enjoyed the fact that heroine was the superspy and the hero was scientist with a project at risk. Alan and 'the old man' from other Goddard Project books have bit parts and Josie and Nitro [from the Mercenary series of Ready, Willing, and Able] have supporting roles as bodyguards hired by our heroine to guard those at risk in the story. It has some nice touches of humor. [For example: her mom refers to her Lamborghini Spyder as 'that insect car' and the heroine flees the living room after overhearing her oldest brother making love to his girlfriend.] Overall I thought the storyline was more lighthearted than intense. A good read once.
Although there are casual references to characters in other books - order is not hugely important. You could read them in any order.

It was such an excellent start with Elle and Beau trading sparkling barbs. Then in the middle of the book the dialogue went nowhere, especially when Beau tried to convince Elle to have sex with him again. He ended up sounding like a conceited jerk and Elle sounded like a brainless bimbo. It made me wish she dragged out Matej and Chantal's story more because those two were interesting. The plot was okay but the stories were really about relationships so it moved slowly. It did get a little better in the end where the characters returned to themselves and became charming and lovable again. Definitely not Monroe's best work in the series.
This book started out good enough but died in the middle. I found myself skimming until I got to the parts with other characters because they were more interesting.
