Ace of Spades by Sandra Owens

Two FBI agents struggle with desire in the shadow of a killer, in the third installment of Aces & Eights.

Nate Gentry has been a rock for his two younger brothers since the day their mom walked out and left them with their abusive father. Now that they’ve grown up, he’s watched Alex and Court fall in love and settle down. But Nate isn’t made for romance. He keeps his relationships casual. And getting casual with his partner is a fantasy he can’t shake…

Taylor Collins has feelings for Nate, too—and though they run hot, her best friend on the team is strictly off limits. Until a spark in his eyes says, Go for it. But reaching out could prove to be a bad move now that they’re working closer together than ever, and on the most dangerous case of their careers.

An investigation into a brutal series of murders is stirring up bad memories for Taylor, and neither she nor Nate can imagine how close to home it’s going to hit. When it does, Nate will risk everything—including his heart—to keep Taylor safe.

Nathan and Taylor have been dancing around each other for a while now. I like that Taylor is a take-no-prisoners type woman. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tease to get it.

With a killer on the loose, Nathan and his brothers are trying to find a clue as to who and why. Taylor is hot on the trail mainly because she looks exactly like the killer's victims. This is a fast-paced thriller where you want to get to the end, but at the same time, don't want the story to end.

Taylor and Nathan dance around each other for the majority of the story, with a few interludes where they break their friendship bond and fall in to each other's arms.

The little girls in this story were sweet, it gave Nathan a more human quality rather than just the rough and tumble agent who is always in control.

The backstory to the brothers also takes a turn and while you expect some kind of twist, I liked this one a lot.

I cannot wait for the next book.
