Title: ODIN
(The Gods of Wrath Security Agency #1)
(The Gods of Wrath Security Agency #1)
Author: Michelle McLoughney
Navy Seal Odin Byrne believes in two things, the SEAL code of honor and the ability of his Team. When he loses one of his brothers-in-arms, he loses part of himself.
Starting afresh with his Team and back home in Boston, Odin has only one focus, his uncle Declan’s security and detective agency, ‘The Gods of Wrath’. A new team member is the last thing Odin wants, especially an ex-con who is hot as hell and mouthy to boot. Fighting for control of his agency, his heart, and his damn hormones, isn’t easy. When a new case threatens those closest to him, Odin must work with his adversary to bring a murderer to justice. Simple, apart from the memory of his lips on hers, and that one hot night.
Jasmine McCarthy is starting a new life in Boston. After three years in an Irish prison for a crime committed by her ex-husband, she craves a new start, a new chance. When her friend Declan Byrne gifts her a part of his agency, Jasmine sees it as her duty to join the team and follow his wishes, regardless of the opinion of her formidable new boss, Odin Byrne. The pig-headed arrogant Ex-SEAL would be a lot easier to ignore, if she hadn’t already had a taste.
Jasmine and Odin want nothing more than to stay the hell away from each other, if only chemistry and fate would play ball…
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
It was only supposed to be one night between Odin and Jasmine. Odin uses the night to escape from his grief and Jasmine to celebrate the truth of her past coming out. But little do they know that they have someone in common and when they discover who, Odin has an instant distrust of Jasmine. Jasmine has a sketchy past that she has escaped from with the help of Odin's Uncle Declan. When tragedy strikes, Jasmine is left part of Declan's security company, which Odin, his family and his crew are determined won't happen.
Jasmine is one gutsy woman who doesn't back down in the face of intimidation. Odin and the rest of the Gods of Wrath security company have a poor impression of Jasmine based on half a story and half the facts. Odin's arrogance and holier than thou attitude could be his downfall.
This was a great read with lots of tension between the characters as well as being action packed. I loved Jasmine and her tenacity and her strength of character. Odin eventually won me over but it took a while to warm up to him and his judgemental attitude.
