Love and Payne (THIRDS) by Charlie Cochet 5*
BLURB: Austen Payne, THIRDS Squadron Specialist Agent (SSA) for Destructive Delta and TIN operative, has seen the worst the world has to offer, faced lethal killers, and helped bring down dangerous organizations. But nothing terrifies him more than falling in love. After years of undercover work, Austen is a master at defending himself and protecting his heart… until he meets Osmond Zachary.
THIRDS Defense Agent Osmond Zachary has a huge, doting family, yet something is missing in his life. After meeting grumpy, foul-mouthed, jittery cheetah Therian Austen Payne, Zach knows exactly what that something—or someone—is. Unfortunately Austen seems determined to avoid Zach at all costs.
When Zach foils an assassination attempt, he ends up in the killer’s crosshairs, and Austen is Zach’s best chance at staying alive. Zach hopes the crisis will bring them closer, but Austen has every intention of walking away as soon as the danger is over.
Happily ever after isn’t for guys like Austen, but Zach is determined to show him it can be…
My Review: I've been waiting for a long time to read this book. I loved Austen from the moment he stepped on to the page in a THIRDS book and I really wanted to read his happy ending. I got so much more than that (which I should have expected, this is a Charlie Cochet book after all). With plenty of great family scenes and villains aplenty there was nothing to dislike about this book, except that, because I read so fast, it was over too quickly. *Thinks about rereading from Hell & High Water*
If you like a well built world with interesting characters and an endless amount of love and action, then might I suggest you read the THIRDS and meet all the Therians first. Just so that you can enjoy this story with the same delight I did.
