A night he can’t forget
Five years ago, Nick Markovic found himself consumed by his quest for vengeance. The one time he managed to find peace was in the arms of Hayley Dalton. Being with her was like bathing in sunlight, and he ached to feel that again, but he couldn’t. He gave his oath to Hayley’s cousin Desiree, his partner at McKay-Taggart and Knight, that he’d never let his darkness infect Hayley’s innocent world.
A spark she can’t put out
It was years before that Hayley offered everything she had to Nick. After that one amazing night, all she wanted was to be his forever. Unfortunately, Nick’s reaction was to walk away from her and never look back. The warm and caring man she’d discovered was gone, and after Des’s death, he’d only grown colder. But when Hayley finds herself in mortal danger, she’s forced to seek protection from the man who broke her heart.
A flame that threatens to consume them both
Haunted by the women he failed, Nick can’t allow himself to grow close to Hayley again. Running to stay ahead of the powerful forces that endanger their lives, they travel from the lush Garden in London to the glittering lights of Rio. As the threat against her becomes clearer, he realizes that to keep her safe he must confront the demons from his past, even if it costs him a future with the woman he loves.
A Masters and Mercenaries Novel by Lexi Blake

I’ve always been a fan of Lexi Blake’s writing and because of the ability to paint a story that’s filled with suspense, heart-break and love that’s unpredictable, leaves the reader to continue to crave more.

Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but recommended to be read in order because there is a string of continuous suspense that leaves you on edge. Filled with strong-willed no non-sense women and dominating, protective alpha masters., you can’t help but attempt to flip through the pages faster and absorb every morsel.

In For His Eyes only, we dive into Nick’s story and introduced to the heroine Haley. We discover while he may be quite and deadly, he is trying to cope with loss of his lover from a mission he was part of. While he cared and is protective of the lover that’s passed. He now has come face to face of the one that has his heart. The very person he’s walked away from five years ago. We discover if he can overcome his challenges and face the one that holds his heart while protecting her at the same time.

While Haley doesn’t approach Nick willingly, she’s forced to seek him out for protection. Nick walked away from her in the past leaving her feel abandoned regardless of the reason she’s unaware of. Their past comes crashing into the present that can affect their future. Their path to their own HEA won’t be easy but the ride to get there is heart pounding. – Reviewed by Shannon
