The synopsis does a good job in giving details about this book which means there is no point in adding the plot line.I haven't read anything by Ms Damschroder before so didn't know what to expect but did find this to be a good read.
To begin with this felt a little too slow for me but I could see potential in it and was definitely interested in what experiments were used to save Jason's life and what exactly was meant by he was different, stronger and faster than before and of course imm ...more

This is a fantastic book! There's action, adventure, a touch of the paranormal, romance, intrigue, suspense, murder, mayhem, and more.

My Review:
What a fantastic book! Jason and Matt, Lark's father, have been best friends for the past ten years. Jason is Matt's right hand man in his private security company, Hummingbird, and they are both working security when an operation goes very wrong. Matt watches as his best friend falls several stories down a staircase with no possibility for survival. What nobody realizes is that Hummingbird has been creating some medical technology that is untested, but very promising. Matt makes the d ...more

We can rebuild him. Faster. Stronger...and not quite six million, though in today's dollar's it would be probably a cool billion.
Security expert, Jason, gives up his life in while protecting a client. This gives his boss (and best friend) an opportunity to try out some experimental drugs and revive Jason. (Don't worry no zombies or zombiesque or any type of undead appear in this story.)

Jason almost dies and is brought back using a non-FDA-approved drug. He is hidden away for six monthes and brought back when his best friend and owner of the security company asks him for help watching out for his daughter, Lark. Jason and Lark have an attraction, but he is 10 years older than her & her father's best friend. The plot thickens...LOL!... Larks father is kidnapped & they need to work together to find him.

In Damschroder’s mystery novel, security expert, Jason Templeton’s team is ambushed during a mission and he doesn’t survive. Unbeknownst to him, his mentor has been funding an experimental drug and with it, Jason is brought back to life a lot stronger and faster than before. To protect the miracle drug, Jason must protect scientist Lark Madrassa and fight the growing attraction between them as well. To survive, Jason must fearlessly face what he fear’s most: losing someone he loves.

While I enjoyed the secondary romance (and am vaguely disgruntled that there wasn't more *ahem* detail to that romance), I have to say the switching of POV's was a wee bit distracting at times.
Add to that a few little TSTL moments from various characters, and I couldn't quite give this one a perfect rating.
That said, the action was incredible, the medical science was fun, and the forbidden romance was delicious.
A solid 4/5 Stars, full review to follow. ...more

Strong beginning and a cool premise. The hero, Jason, comes back from a near fatal injury with lots of muscles and extra-sensitive skin, side effects from the untested drug therapy. Nice action sequences, but I had trouble buying into the plot.
Good book, pace didn't lag but of course, you knew it would all be a happy ending. It has the potential to be a very good series - both of past Hummingbird adventures and future ones to. Good characters, decent premise all in all a nice summer read.

I haven't read anything by Natalie Damschroder before but was surprised and impressed. It really move quickly for me. Maybe the characters weren't quite as believable as real people but for escapist fiction, it couldn't be beat.

Fun, action-packed romantic suspense. I especially liked the secondary romance between Gabby and Matthew.
I really enjoyed this book. I will be checking out her other books. Great characters, really good story and the women in this book are strong and smart.
Loved it. Not only the main characters, Jason and Lark were well rounded and strong, but the side characters were great also. Add in a good suspense and it's a keeper!

Entertaining read with a hot hero, likeable heroine and plot. Yay!
