Review: One Last Chance by Kat Martin

Author: Kat Martin
Publisher: Kensington
Publication Date: November 2022

Former Green Beret Edge Logan has made a new life for himself at Nighthawk Security in Denver, using his finely honed skills to neutralize threats of all kinds. When he overhears friend and fellow agent Skye Delaney discussing a new case involving her missing sister and a mysterious cult, he offers himself as backup. With her own military background, Skye is gutsy and more than capable, but a cult like Children of the Sun is too risky for anyone to investigate alone.

Skye is grateful for Edge’s experience, even though she is aware of the attraction simmering between them. Her battle scars make her reluctant to get involved with anyone, much less a coworker—even a warrior like Edge. But infiltrating the cult’s compound is more complicated than expected—and something much more sinister than worship is clearly going on behind its walls. As the pair works against the clock to unearth high-stakes secrets, the personal barriers between them begin to crumble. Together, can they unmask the face of evil before their time runs out?

One Last Chance is the third book in the "The Logans"  series.  This one is Edge and Skye's story.  It works very well as a stand alone. There are references to the previous books, but nothing important that you really need to know.  While I did like this one, I think it's my least favorite of the three so far.  

This one is more of an action adventure story than a suspense.  I mean, you basically know who the bad guy is, you just don't know how it will all play out.  So, I kind of found it a bit uninteresting.  Toward the end, there is a resolution to Edge's story pertaining to his dishonorable discharge, but that was a bit underwhelming as well.  As for the relationship.  I did like that they had a history of attraction.  It made it seem less insta-lovey.  But, the biggest issue I had was lack of communication between the two.  I mean had they had one conversation a lot of angst could have been avoided.  As I said, it was fine.  I did like it in the end, it just wasn't my favorite.
