Masterful, mysterious, and completely ruthless, Jamin “Angel” Agassi joined the Black Knights Inc. after a mission-gone-wrong forced him to undergo extensive plastic surgery and change his name. He's going to bring down the world's worst crime syndicate, and hopefully keep Sonya Butler, a love from his past, from discovering who he really is...When a dark-eyed stranger gets caught up in Sonya’s latest mission, she starts to question all her hard-won instincts. Something about Angel tells her he's more than he seems, and sometimes, when she least expects it, he reminds her of a man she used to know. As the bullets fly, she realizes that in love and war nothing is ever what it seems...

For me, this book had a slow start but after that, I got into it and I really liked how Julie Ann Walker went about finishing this series.
Since Jamin "Angel" Agassi came into the BKI picture a couple of books ago he has been aloof, mysterious and a bit cold at times. This more than anything made me want to read his story and want to learn what made him tick.
From the moment this book starts we see his facade start to crumble and that rigid self-discipline starts to fail and all because of the woman he once loved who now works as the personal assistant of the very man Angel and the BKI crew are looking to bring down. Sentence by sentence we learn more and more about Angel's past and chapter by chapter I fell in love with who he is under all that restraint.
I know I put to much pressure into this book since the hero was a mystery and also because it's the end of BKI and I was a bit disappointed in it but I still liked how it turned out. I especially liked Ace and Rusty's side story.
I have to say I was surprised by that ending. I hope we get more of this characters even if it's just a glimpse here and there if Julie Ann decides to expand on that. It is with a sad and heavy heart that I say goodbye to the BKI crew and say you will all be missed.
