Amazon

Description:
What if your family had a big secret . . . a life changing secret. My dad, the bigwig CIA agent, was always on the run, whether he was being chased or doing the chasing. I missed him. Then my mom passed away, and my sister was murdered. I turned my solitude to strength because the alternative was too bleak.

But my luck seemed to turn: I met Tango. And while I want him more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my twenty-two years, danger lurks around every corner and I simply can’t take the chance of it finding me. But his tattoos, his smell, his darkness, and his body— that marine has taken over my every thought. But, what if he too isn’t what I think? A ticking time bomb isn’t going to leave me much time to waver. Even the bravest person can be in need of a miracle.

Before she was gone, my mom warned me to know everyone and trust no one. But what was I supposed to do when I found out I am the one not to be trusted? Turns out, I was always the bait in this conspiracy.

Review:

Tag by Shari J. Ryan is a breathtaking romance, that leads you on a ride of an adventurous lifetime. Carolina Tate, or Cali, as she likes to be called – is twenty-two years old and she has had a rough time of things. Her mother passed away when she was younger, her dad is a CIA agent, that has several people after him and has disappeared into hiding. And most tragically, her sister was killed by Cali’s supposed boyfriend. The same boyfriend that she loved deeply. But now she is on the run. The people that are after her dad are after her, including her ex and they will do anything they can to find her.

Before her mother passed away – she told her to “Know everyone, trust no one.” Now that she is alone in this world, she has made this her life motto. That is until her father sends her Tango, to watch over and protect her. By the time that he comes along, she has built up walls that no wrecking ball can crash through. Until now! Tango is ex-military, tattooed and extremely good looking. And as much as she wants to, Cali can’t stop the thawing that is taking place in her cold heart. She likes him, and she likes him a whole lot. She is falling and falling fast. But once Tango reveals his secret, her life changes course and she has one mission – and that is to save him!

Cali Tate is one bad ass twenty two year old. She can hold her own both physically and mentally. She is the type of woman that can stand on her own, and takes nothing from no one. Her life has been a series of chaos and catastrophes – of one heartbreak after another. She doesn’t know it but what she wants and what she needs is exactly what she has fought to stay away from. LOVE. Tango is a delicious, sweet, kind-hearted, loving man! He is the kind of man every mother wants for their daughter. The boy next door has come back from war and has a secret to reveal. You pair Cali with the sweetest, yummiest ex-marine to ever walk across the pages of a book and the chemistry is enough to cause a nuclear explosion.

I must say I am a fan of all of Shari J. Ryan‘s books and this one did not have one page of disappointment. From start to finish it moved me. The storyline has a lot of twists and turns. And the action is suspenseful and riveting. Cali’s sarcasm and tough girl exterior at times had me laughing out loud. And Tango, warmed my heart and brought me to tears. Highly recommend this romantic suspense – but be prepared to not want to put it down!
