High stakes.
Low margins.
And everyone wants the woman I’m teamed up with dead.
BANE
Swagger, strut, snarl. Three things I can do with both eyes closed. Oh, and shoot the shit out of tangos. I always do my job, whether it’s patching up a fellow operative or taking down a serious threat. Apparently this time my job is to babysit Baby Spy.
We’ve followed the Los Reyes de Guerra cartel to the drug-trafficking capital, Mexico City. Our orders? Get in with the guerrillas and ultimately take them down. There’s only one problem—I have another set of mission directives linked to Kiki AKA Baby Spy.
Should be easy enough. Except it seems I’ve developed an unhealthy attraction to Kiki, along with an inconvenient conscience. She’s a wild woman with an unforgiving attitude that definitely makes me bone hard for her.
Nothing is as it appears, least of all Kiki Damage.
KIKI
Yeah. They call me Baby Spy. I’m fully aware the entire T-Zone team blames me for narking out a previous mission gone wrong. So, I can’t understand why the powers that be assigned me to this op. Or maybe I can, which just makes my situation even more dire.
I know Bane wants me, but I’m beginning to think he has an ulterior motive for keeping me close. And it’s not just the panty-melting hot sex with the big, gruff, silent killer. There’s something incredibly vulnerable in the way Bane watches me, like he’s looking for one last saving grace.
None of that matters now. When the situation heats up, I find out Bane’s real mission. I may have fallen in love with him, but it’s already too late. This entire web of lies goes a lot higher than any of us ever imagined, and my neck is only the first one on the line.
Bane includes a special series epilogue from the badass women: Jade, Tilly, Blaize, and Kiki.

The
door creaked open, and I slit my eyes in that direction. Between the dark and
shadows, I fathomed Kiki’s slim frame entering the room.
“Where
you been, girl?” I grumbled from my cot.
“Went
shopping with Blaize. Got mani-pedis too. What’d you think?” Her low voice
shivered across the quiet room—the sound alone setting my cock on edge.
I
barked a laugh. That attitude. Damn. My dick stiffened even more beneath the
thin blanket.
“That’s
all well and good, but Blaize returned hours ago.”
“Had
to get my hair blown out too.” She snarked back. “Mind if I turn on a light?”
Like
fuck she got her hair done—or her nails. The woman was rough and tumble, just
the way I liked her.
“Go
ahead.” Hell yeah. Shine some light on her getting undressed.
I
was already naked, and as the light popped on, I sat half-up. The blanket
rolled down to my hips, revealing the beginnings of the tats on my shoulders
that ranged up the back of my neck. A gritty design of all black ink—symbols
that resonated. Brass knuckles, a smoking gun, bullets on fire . . .
No
unicorns, rainbows, or fluffy shit for me. No wise sayings or inspirational
words worn on my skin.
But—dead
enter—one name hid among the other marks on my skin. Someone I’d always carry
in my heart.
Kiki’s
gaze took a clean sweep of me—my muscled torso, the brown hair centered down my
abs and leading to my cock below. She probably noticed the tented fabric, too.
No
mistaking a hard dick practically waving in your face.
She
wore a small grin as she started shucking the sweet leather yoke holster
strapped across her chest. Kiki came included with a fucklot of gear all
attached to that yoke. KA-BARs she handled with skill and care, twin Glocks she
set on safety.
“You
going to watch?” She asked, bending over to unbuckle her boots.
“Yeah.”
Rubbing a hand over my mouth, I hid the wolfish grin. “Could do the gentlemanly
thing, but I’m not really that guy.” I shrugged.
She
chuckled. “I can see that.”
“Oh.
You ain’t seen nothing yet.” My grin stretched even wider if possible.
“Really?”
She whipped off the boots, letting them fall where they lay. “You hiding
something?”
She
tugged her shirt over her head, revealing a simple black bra and a mesmerizing
body. The woman wasn’t a classical beauty. She wasn’t BBF. She was gorgeous,
edgy, different, and I liked it.
“You
can come find out if you want.” The words rumbled from my chest as the heat in
the room intensified with every shred of clothing she shed.
“Maybe
next time.” With her belt unbuckled, she shimmied her narrow pants off her
perfect hips and lean legs. “Thought you didn’t like me, anyway.”
“I’m
usually not that quick to judge. Been on the receiving end of assholes’
preconceived notions before.” I hungrily watched as she bent over.
Nice
ass. Firm full cheeks. Skimpy black bikini panties.
I
could definitely work with that.
“So,
do you have the other guys’ backs or mine in this op?” She stood before me,
nothing but ivory skin, wicked eyes, nicely shaped tits.
Very
fit for a fuck. Totally in shape for a nightlong naked workout.
The
pale blonde/light pink streaked fauxhawk. The inked sleeves all the way down to
the backs of her hands—black tats in delicate paisley and sunburst designs. Too
recognizable for someone in our line of work? Maybe. But she had an instant in
with the younger, hot-on-the-button criminal element.
And
with me.
Kiki
usually covered her hair with a skullcap, her ink with leather gloves.
She
was one fucking cool cat. I didn’t care what the other dudes thought about her.
“Your
back. I’ve got yours.” Unless I have to
shoot you in the back.
I
pushed my blanket even farther down, showing off the hard-worked cuts of muscle
on my lower abs. Six pack? That and more.
“Why
don’t you come have mine?” I invited, the words growling out.
“That
bed isn’t big enough for the both of us.” Kiki sauntered toward her cot. “But
your ego sure the hell is supersized.”
She
shuffled under the covers on her cot across from me. Reaching a hand out from
the blanket, she dropped the black bra onto the floor between us.
“Damn,”
I whispered in a hoarse tone. Then a laugh thickened from my throat. “It’s not
ego, girl. It’s confidence.”
She
flipped to her side, facing me as her fingers fumbled for the light switch.
“Goodnight, Mr. Confidence. Hope you sleep well with that boner I just gave
you.”
4.5 of 5 Stars
Are you ready for some gun slinging action? This entire series has been jam packed with terrorist, bombs, shooting, fighting and this book is not short of anything. I live that Rie keeps you on your toes wondering what will happen next, how is it going to turn out.
Bane, Mr. cocky is all about the job and getting it done right. He hides a lot behind his walls. Feeling like he is deserving of everything that comes his way, and not in a good way. But watching him with his partners, the respect he has for each and every one of them, shows a whole different side to him. When he realizes that he has to have Kiki and truly doesn't believe she is the mole, he jumps in with both feet. His no holes bar approach is HOT to say the least, but what is more explosive is the response he is met with.
Kiki has been the odd woman out since day one with T-Zone. Having a little behind the scenes insight on the current job she hopes to redeem herself with crew. The last thing she ever expected was the connection she has with Bane. She tries to hide behind it with her flirting but in the end she gives in. Can these two lost souls make it against the odds?
I love that Rie gives us a little bit of everyone in each of the books. It helps to bring in a deeper character connection. The final bits and pieces of the couples that she shares at the end of the book close out another great series of bad ass... but I wonder if just maybe we might be set up for another spin-off series.
