Description from the publisher:

A holiday to remember… if they can survive.

Good things are happening in Samantha Arnold’s life. She’s moved into a house in the big city and her first romance novel is almost published. This holiday season she intends to celebrate, especially since it’s her first Christmas with her boyfriend.

Special Agent Mitchell is ready to settle into his life at the Bureau after being sent on a globe-hopping working vacation, but at the airport, he’s met with news that chills his blood—one of the most dangerous criminals he ever put behind bars has been released due to a clerical error.

Finding the bad guy wars with the need to keep Sam safe. Distance is key, but it’s the holidays and his girlfriend has romantic plans. While dodging bullets, family issues and attempts on their lives, both he and Sam will need to find the courage to survive—for each other, for love and for their future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

FOR YOUR EARS ONLY is the third book in the Unlikely Partners series.  I strongly recommend reading all of the books in the series and in the order of release as it is a continuing relationship.



Sam is actually stronger than the men in her life are giving her credit for being, despite the proof of the last two adventures.  Her sister, on the other hand, is TSTL; she needs a guardian!



I like the way that Mitchell and Sam are taking things slowly, despite an extended vacation around the world.  I like that they are deliberate about declaring their feelings.  There is chemistry between them, but there is also an acknowledgement of their pasts and their insecurities.



While this is a suspense romance and the bad guy is truly terrifying, the suspense is not drawn out.  I like a quick resolution every once in a while and this series fits that need.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
