Eden is said to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her face has graced countless magazines and her body has sold millions of dollars of clothing. But her fame and beauty has earned her more than she ever imagined. Evil is stalking her, determined to extinguish the ethereal beauty forever.
Swanson or “Swanny” as his teammates call him is always up for the next mission. He came back from Afghanistan wounded and scarred. Hardly the kind of man who even belongs in the same room with Eden. And yet there’s something about the quiet beauty that stirs his blood and makes him dream of the impossible. Because Beauty loving the beast only happens in fairy tales and KGI doesn’t deal in fairy tales. Ever.
Review:
Eden has a great life, great family and a great job. But, when a seemingly random attack comes, things for Eden start to change very quickly. She knows her dad is retired military, but had no idea the depths of things that he had been involved in, and that’s just how dear old dad wanted to keep it. However, once he learns of the attack, he calls in her brothers and tells them of his past and that he thinks Eden is in danger because of it. One of Eden’s brothers knows the Kelly’s and puts in a call to ask for help in protecting Eden. One problem with the plan? Eden has no idea why all of this is happening and why in the world she would need a team of security?
Once the KGI team meets with Eden and lays out what’s going to happen, she can’t help but find herself drawn to the scarred Swanny. It literally makes her heart melt that he keeps his eyes averted and the scarred side of his face turned away. Once everyone agrees as to how they will proceed to her next shoot, she settles down a bit. After all, what can happen with a group of hot ex-military guys and one of the most beautiful women in the world, who just happens to be drawn to one in particular? And, when Eden’s life and beauty is threatened, literally, Swanny and his team will move heaven and earth to get to her in time. And, I will tell you, everyone on Swanny’s team, and Eden herself, are not prepared for what happens…………………
Oh, how I love the men, and women, of KGI. I’ve been looking forward to Swanny’s story for some time, as I’m sure a lot of Banks’s readers have. Just the utter horror of what he went through when he was held hostage in Afghanistan immediately made him a fan favorite. I knew Eden would be different from the beginning, although, I do wish she had been a bit more forceful at times, but totally understand why Banks wrote her the way she did. After what Swanny had endured, he needed someone like her to prove that people are beautiful on the inside as well. Even though we, of course, have a happy ending, the trials they go through to get there will make you cringe. Not that the whole book is that intense. We get to see all of the Kelly boys and several of the other team members, which is always a plus. And, I for one, can’t wait for the next!! Well done, Maya Banks, very well done.
