Tamir
My neighbors and students know me as a Krav Maga instructor.
They see what I allow them to see.
Reality is far less attractive.
I still do the job that I love.
Only now, I work for myself instead of the government.
For those wealthy enough to hire me, my resume reads:
Israeli expatriate. Former special forces. Professional assassin.
Emily
There is absolutely nothing remarkable about me.
At least, that’s what my friends would say.
What they don’t know is an ugly secret forced me to abandon my past.
I left my family and everything I knew.
Hid myself away where no one would find me.
I thought I was safe. Untraceable.
I was wrong.
Now, there’s only one thing I can do if I want to stay alive.
Run.
Where Loyalties Lie is a complete standalone novel with characters taken from book 3 of The Five Families Series.
Today I bring you a review of a book that I don't remember asking to review, and not because I didn't want to but I had many books already to read that I didn't want to take the place of someone else that would have the time to read it, so when it arrived to my email I was surprised but very happy at the same time, it was then that I decided to free up space in my agenda and I went for it.
I'll just start by saying that Wow!!!!, I've been surprised in a good way, this book is almost totally different from what I had read before from this author and I loved it.
Tamir's is a character I wanted to read since I known him from the previous book (Blood Always), the mystery with which his author handled it in that book was very successful in arousing the reader's interest, at least with me it worked like that.
I won't say much so as not to ruin your reading, but I can summarize a little that the suspense and mystery that the author handles in this book kept me reading every time I had free, in my work I took advantage of my lunch break and those minutes went by very quickly.
Tamir and Emily are careful with what they say and unveil, the mystery of what each one hides seems to be what attracts them at first, that desire to know what they hide will make that when the occasion deserves it they have to half trust and only say part of their best guarded secret, but when the whole truth is discovered it seems that none is willing to believe it and face it, at least on Emily's side, she is tired of that life of her past and the least she wants is someone like that in her life.
Tamir is firm in his decision to pursue his "profession", willing to give Emily the time she needs to decide about them.
The whole book is a story that the author does not force or rush, I liked that very much, the relationship and sex parts of the protagonists is slow and perfect timing, the end is very predictable after a certain meeting of Tamir’s partners, but that’s what I expecting in novels of this type, I love the HEA, and this story has it.
Thank you so mucha to the author and The Next Step Pr for my advance copy on exchange of my honest review.
About the Author:
Within a year of self-publishing her first book, Jill Ramsower quit her job as an attorney and dedicated her days to churning out romantic adventures. She likes to think of her books as contemporary romance with a touch of fantasy—at its core, her writing is about the connection between two people. Sometimes that connection involves a little magic…
With Jill’s books, you can count on confident heroines, plenty of steamy tension, and deliciously assertive leading men. There are no guarantees in life, but with her books, you know everything will work out in the end. However, a perfect ending would not be nearly as satisfying without a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Jill loves to add plenty of adversity in her stories, creating unforgettably dynamic characters and sneaky plot twists you will never see coming.
Jill is a Texan, born and raised. She manages the hectic social calendars for her three active children and occasionally spends an evening with her dashing husband. Aside from being an author and a mom, she’s a travel junkie and loves to read when she is not lost in her own stories.
