In this thrilling romance from New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker, an ex-military man is on a mission to rescue a wrongfully imprisoned archaeologist—and to make her rightfully his.
Any soldier who gets out of the service with his life should be happy to leave danger behind. Though his army brothers are content running their new business in Maine, Kendric “Bob” Evans isn’t ready to give up the fight. He’s been supplementing his hours with covert rescue missions organized by the FBI. But his latest charge may be more than he bargained for.
Marlowe Kennedy is on a routine archaeology dig in Thailand when she’s arrested for drug trafficking. She has suspicions about the true culprit, but even when she’s rescued from prison, there’s nothing she can do about it without proof. Her protective bodyguard’s only objective is to keep her safe until they cross the border into friendly territory.
The best way to do that? Travel as man and wife.
After returning to Maine, as Bob and Marlowe navigate this treacherous terrain with the help of their friends, they face vengeful authorities, a vindictive frame job, and perhaps most important of all—turning their fake marriage into something real.

Kendric “Bob” Evans is asked to rescue Marlowe Kennedy from a Thai jail after she was wrongly arrested from her archaeological dig site. They spend a week surviving together on the run. After just surviving, they have to decide if they want it to be real. Plus trying to clear Marlowe’s name.
I LOVE RELATIONSHIP OF CONVENIENCE. The fact that this one was for their survival. I was here for it. Each book in this series is insta-love with a one bed trope (the characters even point it out and I loved that). While each book has similar elements, this one is my favorite so far. I loved the suspense in this one of Marlowe and Kendric being on the run for most of the story. It allowed it to not feel as if they were letting the suspense happen to them. Kendric is so in love with Marlowe when they are back stateside and I loved the moments when he realizes she is getting healthy again.
I loved Lucy Rivers for Marlowe. It made her character sound so strong (and she was). I think this is my first Aaron Shedlock narration and I loved it. His ability to narrate as both the male and female characters was really well done.

I listened to this on audio it was brought to life by Lucy Rivers and Aaron Shedlock. They did an amazing job voicing all the characters. Really helped draw me into these characters.
On a side note-April? What the heck? Such secrets!

This was high adrenaline, instalove action. I would have loved to see more archeology in the book, but it did start with a prison break and they were running for their lives for a better part of the book. When they did get to the US, it did slow a bit until they had to find a way to clear Marlowe’s name. They did fall in love very quickly and had their HEA but not before confronting the bad guy! This book was a lot of fun! The writing is good. The romance is good. The plot is good. I would recommend it!

Her stories are exciting, her men are Alpha Cinnamon Rolls (is this a thing?), and her women are so imperfectly perfect, everyday heroines.
I’ve really enjoyed this series and Marlow and Kendrick’s story is no different. Susan, with this series and several others, addresses PTSD post-military life, and does a masterful job through both Kendrick and Marlow. It’s a fast-paced, immediately heart-pumping from the first page. And of course, the love story is sweet, sultry, and satisfying.
I’m looking forward to JJ and April’s story next!
