THIS BOOK IS GOING TO BE GOOD. I absolutely love the author's other book and I'm sure this is going to be amazing too. Her female leads are always strong and refreshing so I'm really looking forward to it.

Wow, this is definitely something new. I'm actually surprised at how much I like it. Usually I'm one for fluffy romances, instant love, no ML FL drama...etc. This isn't any of that yet I can't stop getting intrigued. Here's the thing, this novel doesn't go down the typical reborn routes (1. op op FL instant kills all enemies, 2. FL meets ML and they fall in love and he helps her out). No, we asked for new and they GAVE us new. FL tricks ML and they start a sugar daddy/baby relationship, no strings or feelings attached. Novels usually portray mistresses as totally scheming and greedy. But FL is so shameless about her love for money, it's quite refreshing. She sees ML as a walking bank and doesn't dare catch feelings. Self awareness, A+. PLUS FL's here trying to earn money to live her best life and get away from all the trash in her family. Yeah she sleeps with ML for money, but her character is built so well, you can't look down on her bc life isn't immediately easy after being reborn. ML can act like a total tsundere, but after 39 ch he's barely figuring out his feelings. None of the "I fell in love with you at first sight" or "how dare you sleep with me, now you're mine!!" He's a professional sugar daddy I guess? He's actually annoyed at the concept of FL being a shameless mistress, but still dutifully sends her money and gifts. TLDR: Such a refreshing lead, well written dynamic between FL and ML. FL is such a well built character, not like other novels where reborn FLs can instantly take down the world and become actual royalty. No instant romance BUT it's not terribly heartwrenching and angst. I can't read those. NOTE: there's implied rough sex but no rape. no smut scenes either.

Part of her job is analyzing information to assess threats and she’s discovered a doozy—there is a secret group of very wealthy people who, in partnership with a powerful cartel, are using the border with Mexico to smuggle terrorists from the Middle East into the country. And word has come down that a high-level member of the government is clearing the way with them for everything. The group is about to have one of its executive meetings at an exclusive resort in Texas and that’s where DHS is sending the two of them. Credentials have been arranged that would make him attractive to the group. A story has been set and there is backup for him should he need it. Regan, who has all the information on this operation, will go with him as his wife. As they uncover more and more of the operation, they realize just how dangerous this group really is. When someone betrays them, and Regan is kidnapped, Max goes into war mode, because in Regan Shaw he’s found the woman he’s waited for all his life and he doesn’t intend to lose her now. But he will need every bit of the skills that he learned as a SEAL to rescue her and bring down this very dirty conspiracy.
