I love how these stories have been about already married couples trying to find their way back to one another, overcoming whatever obstacles they had. In the first book, both people were spies only now discovering the truth, but in this novella, Blue's wife Helena was not ignorant of his work. He put his work before her. And she drank to deal with it. Now he's ended up tracking someone to Naples, where she is working as an opera singer, and they have to figure out what they want. As always, the sex is steamy, and there is no virginal whimpering to be found. (YAY!) Of course, they get their HEA, but not before dealing with their past and the current threat to their lives. Wonderful glimpse into Blue's life. Now on to book 2! ( )
