After putting her life on the line to protect classified intelligence, military psychologist Mia Kensington is on a cross-country road trip from hell with an intrusive save-the-day hero. Uninterested in his white knight act, she'd rather take her chances without the ruggedly handsome, cold-blooded operative who boasts an alpha complex and too many guns.

Colby Winters, an elite member of The Titan Group, has a single objective on his black ops mission: recover a document important to national security. It was supposed to be an easy in-and-out operation. But now, by any means necessary becomes a survival mantra when he faces off with a stunning woman he can't leave behind.

When Titan's safe houses are compromised, Colby stashes Mia at his home, exposing his secret-he's the adoptive father of an orphaned baby girl. Too soon, danger arrives and Mia lands in the hands of a sadistic cartel king with a taste for torture. As hours bleed into fear-drenched days, Colby races across the globe and through a firestorm of bullets to save the woman he can't live without.

If they make it out alive, can he reconcile duty and desire?

Does Mia trust her heart to a man who willingly walks into kill-zones?

Review

"5 stars! Cristin Harber delivered something extraordinary." -Reading It All

"Oh my word...scorching hot romance! LOVED this book. Go get this now... right NOW! Really." -The Winey Reader

"This book was fantastic." -Crafty Mom of Three

"...one of those well written books that you don't read - you live. 5 stars!" -Reviewing in the Chaos

"5 out of 5! Full of heat, adventure, excitement, and romance." -Identity Discovery

"She's THAT good! She's like Julie Ann Walker, Cindy Gerard, Maya Banks, Catherine Mann & Nina Bruhns! If you like those authors & you haven't tried Cristin Harber, You're missing out BIG TIME!

This was an excellent emotional thrill ride! Cristin Harber is an excellent storyteller & the emotions running through this book are...amazing...which is not a good enough word to describe it.

Part of the originality in this book was that this alpha male was more open & honest with his feelings than the woman. That's rare." -Just Plain Sassy Book Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG I am in absolute love with this entire series
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2015

OMG I am in absolute love with this entire series. The Titan Group is a private security entity full of badass men and woman who handle things the US government can't. Each Titan novel is packed with tons of high octane action and whirlwind romances. You can find all of my favorite book flavors mixed into the Titan cocktail. We have gun fights, car chases, explosives, kidnappings, the whole nine yards topped with enough spicy naughtiness to keep the heat up. The action doesn't stop.
Harber creates a whole world, with very in depth characters and locations. Cristin does so well with the characters that you know their personalities, likes, dislikes and how they are going to react to any given situation in the novels. And the locations are so descriptive that you can almost believe you just helped rescue a hostage from and Afghani mountain and then spent time in the poshest hotel in Abu Dhabi. Each book has a unique story line and can be read stand alone, however they are best when read in order as a collection to get the full Titan Group experience because most characters carry over into the other books.
The Titan series as whole is considered military romance or romantic suspense and my warnings fall in line with the genre. As mentioned above there is tons of action and tension. There is also graphic violence, language and sex. Be advised content is for mature adults 18+ and for-warned one of the books (Savage Secrets) does contain an non-consensual sex scene. It is only one scene, in one book. So, it can be skipped if you don't have the stomach for that. Overall, I really love the books and cannot wait for the next in the series to be released.
On another note, Cristin has started releasing a new series, Delta, which is related to the Titan series and does contain some of the same characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Turned out much better than I originally thought
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016

This is another book I started with trepidation because my friend Bambi did not finish it. There have been quite a few like that in the last 6 months or so. I'm also listening to this on audiobook so I think the narrator has an effect on how I feel about the overall listening / reading experience.

When I started this book, I did not like it very much. It started off choppy and disconnected. It would jump from scene to scene unexpectedly and I would wonder how we got from A to B with a bridge of some sort. Very confusing. In addition, Ms Harber's writing style is quite truncated. She wrote in short sentences and her characters spoke in short, very punctuated sentences. It. Felt. Like. They. All. Spoke. Like. This.

I was not certain if I would finish the book and thought I'd give it a 2 star if I did because of Ms Harber's writing style, the characters being unlikable (more on that later) and the fact that I was breaking in a new narrator who was not my beloved Eric Dove.

Let me talk about the narration for a little while. The narrator for this book, actually the entire series, is Jeffrey Kafer. His voice is rough and gravelly, and he does macho a**ho** really well. His voice tends to scrub across your senses rather than glide over it, though not in a bad way. He doesn't have the smooth sexiness that Eric Dove has, but his voice has it's own appeal. It took me quite a long way into the book before getting used to him. He also doesn't have Eric's versatility in terms of doing different voices for the men and he's quite one dimensional with the women. His voice is too deep to do women's voices well and he doesn't pitch them high enough. If you needed a narrator for an uber bad boy or an alphahole, Jeffrey Kafer is your guy.

This story took me a while to get into due to all the things I mentioned above. I think it finally hit its stride at around about the 50% mark. I don't know if this is a debut novel for Ms Harber or not, but it seems she finally found her groove around there. The story seemed to flow better and I stopped having moments where I'd stop and wonder what the heck just happened repeatedly. I was also starting to understand and like her characters a lot better.

Let's talk about the characters shall we?

Mia started off as a bit of a bitch. I really didn't like her for the better part of the book but as Ms Harber threw more and more at her, she stood up and held up really well under pressure. She was smart and resourceful, and she did one thing which saved Colby's baby which was excellent, because seriously, if the human traffickers had gotten hold of the baby or if anything had happened to the baby, that would have killed the whole story for me. It's like killing a puppy. That's a deal breaker too. Mia has some serious trust and personal relationship issues she needed to overcome, to get to trusting and then falling for Colby, but Colby was persistent and had a way with chipping at her defenses. I'm certainly glad he didn't put up with her rubbish and allow her to psycho-babble her way out of a tough situation rather than deal with it. She was big on throwing up walls and misdirection. Good thing Colby saw through all of that.

I started off thinking that Colby was a lot of a douche canoe. In fact, I thought he fit the definition of an alpha-ho** perfectly. He was gruff. He was rude. He was uber macho. He starts off thinking of Mia as an inconvenience, as part of the job. Then as his feelings change about her, you see a rather introspective, more sensitive side to him. It took a while to like his softer side. His internal dialogue in the beginning was rather comical and at odds with the tough guy persona he projected. Then I find out he's got a several month old baby and he says "I love you" to his mom when he talks to her on the phone, and I thawed towards him. In the remaining 50% of the story, Colby takes on most of the emotional burden of being the braver one in the relationship (except when he was not!) and the one who was willing to face his feelings, and deal with Mia's. For all of this tough guy facade, Colby was really just a big ol' teddy bear.

I ended up liking this story. I think I will continue on with the series and continue it on audiobook. Maybe I'll grow to like Jeffrey Kafer's voice a lot more down the track.

Winters Heat ......
With this story you are not only treated to how winter met his match in Mia but introduced to a lot of the team and the you begin to get a feel for the dynamics of this group of smart, fiercely loyal, strong, alpha men.
They would die for one another and protect their own until the bitter end.
I fell in love with these men from the first few chapters. This is well written and clever. I enjoyed not just the suspense thriller part of this book but also the romance and beat between these characters. It's sexy, steamy and a treat for the mind.
And to put into one word it's brilliant
I didn't want it to end the best thing is the other books are available and the spin of delta books are just as wonderful
