Glimpse My Thoughts:  Cristin Harber has upped the ante in this one creating a heart wrenching, tear jerking story that left me emotionally drained and damn proud to call her one of my favorite Romantic Suspense Authors!

Goodreads Synopsis:

When the past is impossible to ignore, love may be the only
way to survive.

Caterina Cruz has no home. No loyalties. No objection to exacting torturous revenge. Her life’s mission is to destroy the terrorist who murdered her family. Then she steps into an elaborate game of charades alongside a Titan Group operative posing as an arms dealer—and her newlywed husband. The sexy distraction may be more than she can handle.

Attacked with a psychedelic drug weeks before, Rocco Savage is plagued with hallucinations that threaten his new rank as Titan’s second-in-command. No one knows and he wants to keep it that way. Throwing him further off his game, he now has a wife with her own secrets he can’t crack and an agenda he can’t control.

Their mission—an elaborate deception of heated glances and passionate kisses—spins out of control. With Rocco's mind already compromised, can he keep his secret and his distance? And with Caterina's tragic past controlling her every move, can she keep the con up long enough to secure her revenge? Or will both go down in flames?

 I had absolutely no idea when I started Savage Secrets that it would become my favorite book in the Titan Series!  Cristin Harber threw me for a loop and upped the ante by delivering a heartbreaking, gut wrenching, emotionally charged story that kept me guessing all the way to the end! 

Rocco Savage gets thrown into an unusual case when Jared sends him to London to work undercover with the sexy Caterina Cruz.  Having just ended a relationship with a woman who refused to accept his love for his work, Rocco is most definitely not looking to fall in love.  After just a few short hours with Caterina however, he finds that he doesn't hate playing house as bad as he initially thought. 

Caterina has been chasing the elusive "Dog Killer" for most of her life.  When the opportunity presents itself to allow her to get close enough to exact revenge for his heinous crimes, she calls in a once promised favor from Jared for assistance.   Rocco strolls in and rocks her foundation, making her feel and want things she never thought possible.  Will she be able to carry out her plans before Rocco finds out her true intentions?  Will she survive her dance with the devil?

Holy Smoke (Alas I'm trying to stop cursing so bear with me), this book rocked my world, turned it upside down and placed it in a new dimension.  When I say this was an emotional roller coaster for me, I mean, I laughed, cried my eyes out, screamed for justice, and then screamed some more.  Cristin Harber you sly girl, you've one upped yourself and Savage Secrets will be darn hard to beat! 

If you have enjoyed the other books in the Titan Series, Savage Secrets is NOT to be missed!  I'm dying to see where she takes the series, but even more, I'm proud of the subject she addresses in this book. I won't spoil it for others, just know Harber took a difficult subject to address and gave it true justice!  I'm giving this one 5 Notes and 4 Flames!
