Grace Nolan traded barbs with Carmen, the only girlfriend that she had and suddenly launched herself down the steps and into the kitchen, she flung open the oven door, grabbed the burning tray of chocolate chip cookies and dumped the charred mess into the sink. She could repel from helicopters, shoot to kill the bad guys on the run, so why was it so hard to bake her eight year old son cookies? Grace muttered back up the stairs, when Carmen saw the expression on her face and chuckled. Carmen had...more
I decided to read this book because of the secret baby plot. I like them when done well, and I was led to believe the heroine's reasons for keeping her son a secret from his father were reasonable. What I was told was correct - her reasons made sense and allowed me to enjoy the story without anger at her for keeping her son a secret.
I really liked the chemistry and emotions between Alex and Grace. Their past history made the story more intense. I also liked the action scenes. Grace was a pretty...more

This was a free kindle book that I got a couple of months ago. When I read the product description it seemed like an interesting concept - it gives you a descent overview.
The heroine, Grace Nolan, is an ex-agent trying to raise her son. The hero, Alex Rossi, is her ex-partner and the man she once loved.
This book was a quick read - nothing really unexpected. This was the first book I read by Shannon Stacy. I wasn't overly impressed. The fact that I saw the ending coming from page one was very dis...more

Grace doesn't look like a woman on the run. She tries (and fails) to bake cookies for her son Danny after school. The secret from her past - that she's a butt-kicking secret agent - catches up with her at the beginning of the book, when Danny is kidnapped and held in exchange for her former co-worker Alex.
Grace has a secret she must tell in order to get Alex to go along with her plan. Alex also has a secret that comes out in time.

International espionage is an unusual milieu for a romance novel, and former and current covert agents make unusual protagonists, but this short book is tight tight tight and tense and nonstop action, both physical and mental, and eminently satisfying in the end. There is a body count among the bad guys, and a liberal lashing of wounds among the good guys, but everything that happens supports the story. This is the first in a series, so I look forward to more in this entertaining crossover of tw...more
I read this because of the secret baby trope. It was a bit of a surprise to see how many years the secret baby was a secret baby...err...child. But I understood why the heroine did it so it worked for me. I also felt like the hero's reaction to finding out about his son was believable too. They were in the middle of planning out the rescue so he had to set the "confrontation" aside for the moment and get down to the business of rescuing their son.

Kindle freebies strike again. This book was pretty decent, if a little short. And the excerpt of Stacey's next book caused me to buy it, so mission accomplished. I felt that this book could have easily continued for another 100 pages (or 1000 locations, in kindle-speak). It seems that the driving force of the novel, the abduction of Grace's son, was resolved a little too easily (read: in the middle of the book). But it was free. Can't complain too much about that.
I liked this book. I had previously read Shannon Stacey's Kowalski series and I loved her writing in those so I started looking at her other books. Romantic Suspense is probably my favorite genre of romance and I was not disappointed with this one. I enjoyed watching Alex and Grace deal with their issues from the past and present while saving their son from a crazy dude. I enjoyed their friends Gallagher and Carmen as well. There was just the right amount of suspense and intimacy to keep me read...more
This was a free Kindle book that I picked up because it appeared to be interesting. It's about a mother who gave up the spy business after finding out she was pregnant. She kept the baby secret from his father and, as circumstances would have it, she's thrown back into a situation of working with the father. It was fast paced and a quick read.
A quick read. I probably will read more by this author. It was a good story I just felt it needed a little more of something. Maybe a little more back story or character development and a little more suspense. I felt it got "wrapped" up rather quickly.
Alex finds out that his ex-partner and girlfriend's son has been kidnapped. What Alex didn't know was that Grace has lied about who Danny's father is. Alex has been keeping some secrets of his own. They reunite to save Danny and rekindle an old flame.
Horrible. Sophomoric writing. I REALLY try to read a book through. At the halfway point, I decided I just couldn't do it this time. Character development was shallow. The book is filled with repetitive clichés.

I read this book in 3 days it was that fast. The book was pretty good but slowed down at the end. I can't complain because this book was a kindle free book. I give this book a 3 star.
Alex Rossi and Grace Nolan are awesome! I loved this book! it was free and i would have gladly payed for it!
I normally LOVE Shannon Stacey books but this one did not do it for me. I could not seem to get into the book.
I like her longer books, these shorter novellas barely have time to get me hooked. :( Still good though!
I'm a sucker for agents... and for romance - so I was very well served with this book!
This book was great. It was a little short but there was a lot of story in the 107 pages.
This book is still just as awesome as it was when I originally read it several years ago. I love Alex and Grace. *happy sigh*
Fun, short read. It was like Mission Impossible meets Harlequin. I liked it.
The main characters were almost invincible; therefore, unbelievable.
Loved it!! Filled with action and passion!!
very much enjoyed this book. looking forward reading more from this series!
Action packed, drama, love :)
Not worth the (free) price!
Entertaining.
Pretty decent free book on my kindle ...
Pretty good series. I only wish this book were a bit longer and the romance between the 2 main characters was a bit more drawn out.
Kindle,free
