Finn Bollinger.
Military codename: EAGLE.
A single dad, a
warrior, a hero.
For Charlotte Devereux he's also the man whose heart she broke years
before. And now, he's her only chance for survival.
When former Special Forces soldier Finn Bollinger is asked to help with
an undercover mission, he's up for the task. His job teaching survival skills
to civilians at Linear Tactical keeps him sharp, and he can still handle
himself in the field.
But the Army damn well didn't teach Finn how
to handle Charlotte Devereux. She's back and she's all sorts of bad
news.
Charlotte can't change the past. Can't change the choices she made or
the fact that they cost her everything. All she can do is endure the fallout.
Even if that means putting her future in the hands of Finn, the man who has
every right to want to destroy her.
And can in so many more ways than he thinks.
When Finn's undercover mission goes impossibly wrong, he'll have to
depend on Charlotte's strength in order to survive. But everyone has a
breaking point.
He's fighting
for what's right.
She's fighting
just to survive...

My review:
Eagle by Janie Crouch is the second book in the Linear Tactical series.Charlotte Devereux and Finn Bollinger have a complex and painful history together. They were deeply in love high school sweethearts. He came from a working-class family while she from a rich, privileged one. Finn is still hurt that she went and got married to someone else despite his begging her to not do it.
These two shared such a passion and chemistry back in high school and college yet it all went wrong between them. Fast forward 8 years later and Charlie's life is much different now than the one she had while growing up. She went from being the town "princess," to now working three jobs and divorced. Now that she is back in town and Finn has seen her, he cant stand her. Finn assumed their love was forever since their love was written in the stars. But when they were 20, Charlie married another man while Finn was away in the Army, an action that separated them for 8 years and caused heartbreaking pain to Finn. This forced him to turn to an unknown woman for comfort on the night Charlie got married. Finn’s one-night stand resulted in a child, who has dyslexia and a few other learning disabilities. Thing is, the learning specialist recommended Charlie to help Finn's son and he isn't about to let her into his son's life or his.
Crouch writes a beautiful, moving , complex glimpse into the lives of two people who loved each other so much with a passion, but were destined by persons and circumstances to part ways. It's learning how to move past the anger, the betrayal, the heartache and the pain seems like an insurmountable battle for these two complex, strong people. Good for them, the combustible attraction that’s still there and as strong as when they were teenagers shows there is a good chance of reconciliation in this 2nd chance at love. There is also a secondary story running with the characters with Linear Tactical, Finn and Charlie. I love the suspense, romance, drama, angst, tension, heat, and romance. I can't wait for book 3.
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
