hane “Hawk” Hawkins is feeling lost. His corporate job no longer excites him and he’s missing his SEAL days. His friends at Callahan Security dangle an interesting job in front of him, but require a small favor in return. “Think of it as a trial run,” they said. Their idea of a small favor will send him on his most dangerous and mysterious adventure yet.
Remington “Remy” Tanger is putting the pieces back together after losing her last family member. Running her grandfather’s bookstore is her way of honoring him. But Gramps had a secret life that brings trouble stumbling into her shop and almost gets her killed.
She’s determined to navigate on her own; He’s determined to keep her alive. They’re both determined not to fall in love. Sometimes fate has other ideas.
But honestly, my biggest issue with Cease and Desist is that plot seems too far fetched. Remy's grandfather involved in criminal activities? I would buy it. A secret society of villains that's been around for over one hundred years and works the way described in the book? Sorry, but it sounds a bit too much like the Da Vinci Code (and I didn't like that one all that much either).
Also, Remy needs to learn not to swear so much and not to behave like a silly teenager half the time. In general, all characters need to stop using alcohol as the medicine to help them deal with whatever problems they are facing.
And if you're waiting for a grand finale, well, your'll keep waiting because the book ends at a cliffhanger.
So overall I was not impressed in any way. I remember liking some of the other books very much, so I'm hoping this one is a fluke, but I can't bring myself to recommend it in any way.
