Enjoyable Romantic Suspense
I was all in with this book. The mystery and suspense started in the very first pages. The issues with Juliette's mental and physical challenges only served to heighten the suspense. There were moments of intensity that left me on the edge of my seat.The intrigue was enhanced by Aiden Snow's narration. I was completely engrossed in the story. This particular narrator is one of the few who manages to read all of the characters and never takes me out of the pace of the story. I also never have to figure out who is speaking. Each character has a unique voice.Now, the one thing that I had to struggle with in order to continue with the book. When Thorn slept with Brigitte, I found it so off putting. I kept hoping he would reject her. I wanted him to take the high road. Exercise some self control. I kept yelling in my mind that Thorn needed to be stronger than that.Even if that episode helped in the search for Juliette, I still wish it hadn't been included. I knew it was going to come back to bite him, but I didn't realize how until right before it happened.This was the first book I have read in the series. My next book to read will be book 1.

Espionage, intrigue, cunning, deception, and romance . . . this books lacks nothing!!!
I have yet to meet a Fiona Quinn book that does not keep me up all night reading to the very last word!Thorn was no different. Well, yes, it WAS different in story, narrative, challenges encountered – as it should be – but the attention that Quinn pays every little detail of her work constantly manages to blow me away. I often find myself wondering what it must be like in the mind of such an author. How does one keep all the details straight, the research needed, the new things that need to be learned?Not unlike some of Quinn’s other heroes, Thorn is tough, all business, always thinking, always ready, and determined that matters of the heart are not for him! Until something happens to him the moment he sees a photograph.Quinn is a master storyteller. Espionage meets deception, meets cunning, meets romance, in a seamless tapestry you cannot help but fall into. Thorn’s story will stay with you.Book Four in this series, but don’t let that stop you. While all of Quinn’s works weave into the Iniquus World she has created and populated with engaging characters and their gripping stories; each one of these can and does stand alone extremely well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can highly recommend!

Great read
These books are suspenseful, insightful, frightful, and thought provoking. You need full concentration and open mindedness. It is scary to read what might be happening in the world today, except, no good guys to save us.

Interesting but confusing
I liked the characters for the most part. I didn't like Thorn and Bridgette's antics since he had already been affected by Juliette's photo. It made me think of his being unfaithful. So much confusion and lies. Also unclear was exactly who the bad guys were and why. I have liked the authors other stories especially the K9 ones much better.**I am editing this review and lowered by 1 star. Something was bothering me and I figured out what. The whole book Juliette was almost incapacitated. She was no match for the hero Thorn. Bridgette was more what would suit him. A strong kick butt woman who matches his skills. Juliette was unconscious for most of the story. Even if she were to fully recover and go back to her work she was going to testify AGAINST the US Navy. Totally polar opposites. A very unlikely couple.

Tricky
Juliette probably has the worst backstory so far in that what she has experienced is horrible. The torture, memory blanks, hearing loss...wow. Thorn is interesting and I liked how he taught his feelings, though I did not like his time with Bridgette.The story moves fast and is full of team members and other factions. Science is part of this story as well and plays an interesting background to the case of helping both characters. The science behind the harm done to Juliette is creepy and fascinating. I hope to see more of their story and fingers crossed she continues to get better!

Sounds Can Harm
A story about the evils behind some within governments and even military. How goodness can come about when truths are brought forward. Along the way love can happen.

3.5 stars
3.5 starsThis book is kind of slow moving in comparison to the other books. Thorn makes a lot of assumptions based on those short video clips of Juliette. Arya isn’t too interesting of a character. Not sure why Thorn is so enamoured with her.
