It’s a romantic getaway for the newlyweds. Or is it?

Parker Black’s brilliant computer skills keep Titan Group running, but now he’s getting some much needed downtime. He’s taking a break from the war room to spend it in the bedroom with his brand-new wife Lexi, and whisks her off to a historic resort nestled in the hills of West Virginia.

Only, there’s a secret buried beneath the hotel. What’s hiding in the converted bunker threatens a lot more than just his romantic weekend, and he’s going to need Lexi’s help to crack inside. Cut off from his own security team and facing a ticking clock, Parker’s about to realize there’s no such thing as downtime when you work for Titan.

MY REVIEW

Why does it seem that I'm always the last to know??? Did anyone else know that Karyn Lawrence and Nikki Sloane are THE SAME PERSON??? Dang it, it's so hard to keep up with all of the aliases of all of these authors sometimes!! Anyway, I saw that this was a collabo and jumped right on the train because Nikki Sloane... oops I'm sorry... Karyn Lawrence has never steered me wrong!!

DOWNTIME was quick and super exciting. Park and his new wife, Lexi, are off for some R & R. See, most of us when we see that think "Rest & Relaxation". Nope. Not this team dynamo of white-hat hackers. They're off for some "Reconnaissance & Raid" because Parker needs his wife to help him pull of his latest job for Titan.

I didn't expect such intense suspense scenes but they were just as entertaining as the loving and erotic scenes between the couple. I enjoyed witnessing how in love they were with each other and I definitely had a few laughs from them as well.

I'm really intrigued by the excerpt I read at the end from Stay by the author. It's book one of The Command series and I've already added it to my tbr list ;)
