Veena’s review of Don’t Look Back (Unbroken Heroes, Book 4) by Dawn Ryder
Romantic Suspense published by St. Martin’s Paperbacks 28 Aug 18
This is the concluding book in a series where the murky world of politics comes head to head with the shadows of sanctioned deep-cover operations that are secret from all but a select few commanding them. In a progression of events over the series, the rot behind the politics is exposed but not eliminated. Can Thais Sinclair bring things to a satisfactory end?
Dunn Bateson makes Thais feel things she’s sworn off. When circumstances are engineered to make her the fall guy for the assassination of Dunn’s mother, will Dunn fall for the political machinations of his mother’s enemies and Thai’s bosses or hang all consequences to rescue her from the jaws of death? In a fast-moving, adrenaline-fueled adventure, romance blooms despite Thai’s every intention to resist.
If you’ve been reading the series, you get a last chance to interact with all the characters and catch up on all of life’s happenings with them. In a true game of cross and double cross, it’s hard to decipher friend from foe and keep all the plots and subplots straight, which all makes for a fun and action-packed ride. Dunn and Thais are great characters. Their chemistry and sparring with each other adds to the appeal of the final book.
The story takes so many twists and turns that it is almost impossible to predict the end, which makes it all the more fun. I can’t wait to see where the author will take us next.
Grade: B+

Dunn Bateson, illegitimate son of a Southern debutante, has always had to fight harder than the rest to get what he wants. Now, the last thing he needs is Thais following his every move. She is so strong, sly, seductive. . . No woman has ever captivated him so completely. Thais may only have room for her mission in her heart, but is Dunn up to the challenge of showing her that she’s worth every risk he is willing to take?
