Synopsis
Sometimes two broken pieces make a whole.
He’s the one she’s always loved.
She’s the one he could never have.
A forbidden night of passion resulted in years of heartbreak when he walked away. Now she’s in danger and needs his help.
Trust doesn’t come easy for FBI Agent Nick Stone, especially when it comes to love, but he’ll risk it all for Katelyn Slade.
Including his heart.
Bullets fly, betrayals are exposed, and the flames from their past ignite.
His protection might be what saves her but in the end she will be his salvation.
This is Book two in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It’s Nick and Katelyn’s story and is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series.
4.5 Stars
Review by Lisa Kane
"When you see how big the universe really is, it makes all your problems feel a little smaller."
Katelyn Slade has made a new life for herself with her cousin Faith and her friends in Charleston. There was a time when it was just her brother Kolan that she could count on. Her father was abusive and her mother let him treat his kids however he wanted. But they made it out alive and although she made some poor choices in men, she's got her own salon and life is good.
But then Kolan is accused of rape and Katelyn's world is rocked right down to the foundation. She knows this can't be true. Kolan Slade, is the heavyweight champion in the EFC, and has a good head on his shoulders. Katelyn knows he's innocent. But how is she going to help him?
She calls the one man she knows that will have Kolan's back-Nick Stone. It's been seven years since she saw the man who broke her heart. The man who left a goodbye letter after spending the most beautiful night of her life with her.
"I can't be what you need. I ...I can't give you forever and that's what you deserve."
Nick is an FBI agent, living in Florida. He left town and he worked his way up from the trenches. Along with his partner Ryder Jameson, they are a dynamic duo in law enforcement. But he has one weakness-Katelyn. He might have left her behind, but he never replaced her in his heart. There is nothing he wouldn't do for her.
"The thing is, Katelyn, you think I forgot, but I never stopped watching. I've always known."
Katelyn knows that Nick will help with Kolan, but she knows he will eventually return to his life in Florida. But what she doesn't know is why Nick can't commit or allow himself to give in to the love he feels for Katelyn. He keeps that info locked down tight. But he is only a man, and he can't help but want Katelyn. How could they not give in to the passion they both feel for one another?
If all goes well I'll get in and out quickly. Because I have no doubt that seeing the one girl I've never forgotten, the only one to ever penetrate through my defenses is going to fuck with my head and emotions in the worst way.
This is going to turn out to be quite an adventure for them. There is so much going on behind the scenes and so many players all up to no good that their lives are in constant danger. When faced with life or death situations will the truth about Nick and his past come out? Can he stop pushing Katelyn away and let himself trust in love?
I've come to realize if there is one part of our body we have no control over it's the heart. It has a mind of its own and it doesn't give a damn about consequences.
I adored KC Lynn's Men of Honor series and was just as infatuated with Beautifully Insightful. Seeing characters from both the books merge in this story was a win/win for me! I never tire of them; each has had their own story and they exist beyond the pages in my mind.
Excerpt
He begins moving inside of me with slow, exquisite strokes, his eyes never leaving mine. He looks at me in a way I’ve longed to have someone look at me my whole life. Like I matter, like I’m important…like I am more. When it’s time for him to go back this is what I’ll remember. This is what I’ll keep close to me on the nights I ache for him, to remember that someone looked at me like this once. Even if I don’t get it for a lifetime, it’s better than not getting it at all.
Just like the man himself.
Reaching up, I cup his strong, stubbly jaw. He encircles my wrist and kisses the inside of it, right over my tattoo.
No words needed.
As more tears begin to fall he leans down and catches them with his lips. “Feel me, Kate. Feel nothing but me.”
“I do. You’re all I feel.”
“Just us,” he whispers.
“Just us.”
