BLURB:
On a fateful night in Las Vegas, FBI agent Leo Grant is working on a critical detail in a high-profile child prostitution trial when a beautiful woman jumps into the path of a bullet meant for him. Little does Leo know that the woman is Olivia, an ex-assassin who is seeking redemption one good deed at a time.
One minute, Olivia is lunging in front of Leo on the Vegas Strip. The next, she's waking up in the hospital in a haze of pain with no memory of her past, her enemies, or even her own name.
With Olivia suffering from memory loss and completely unaware of the danger she is in, it's up to Leo and Neil MacBain's team of operatives to keep her safe. With Olivia and Leo both unaware of her past crimes, the two have little reason to avoid their growing attraction. Slowly her past seeps in through the cracks as she struggles to find the answers of who she is. When the veil is lifted and her dark past is staring her down, Olivia must turn her back on Leo and the love she can never allow herself to have, and race to find her would-be killer.
REVIEW:
This was my first book by author Catherine Bybee and what a great introduction to her writing as well as a complex suspense world that she has built.A Thin Disguise is the second installment to Bybee's Romantic Suspense series Richter. It follows Olivia who is a former student the Richter a school where the students were taught anything but normal. Olivia is on assignment where she is looking out for a witness who has a target on her back but some very prominent people who want her gone. But Olivia is shot and wakes up with no memory and is thrust into the world of people who want to protect her, especially from her past and Leo a federal agent who has a soft spot for this stubborn woman.
Olivia is an extremely complex character, she is always alone, on the run, not trusting anyone because of her past. She was an assassin and her connections to Richter brought her to Neil and his team of former Richter connections. They normally work with the government and police, doing things their way. All they want is the best for Olivia and know how she functions, with her memory lose, they just have to wait for the ball to drop. She has one heck of a past and it was interesting to see her memory fighting both the new possibility and what her life has always been like.
Leo is trying to stop these powerful people from targeting an innocent young woman. He comes across Olivia at random and cant get her out of his head. They end up randomly meeting again which ends in a shooting. Now he's brought into a world he didn't know existed. I loved his character, he just a good man who falls hard for a someone who thinks she cant have anything good.
Overall this was a fantastic story, lots and I mean lots of suspenseful moments. Wonderful secondary characters and a background story that I feel will unfold more with each book. It did take me a bit to catch up to what was going on in the beginning, as this is the second book and I have not read the first. However I was easily enthralled with the story that I couldn't put it down and had to know more. Now I'm off to read the first to tie in the connections.
