Have you ever loved someone so much you wished you could open them up, crawl inside of them, and live in them? Been so obsessed with them that there’s nothing you don’t want to know about them? Been so possessive of them that you wish you could surgically attach yourselves to one another and never spend a moment apart?

Probably not, at least not literally. 

Not Spencer and Kendrick. Two psychotic private black ops agent peas in a pod, these two men embody “emotionally unhealthy relationship”. They’re everything to each other and yet every single wire of what “everything” includes is coated in a casing of misunderstandings, misinterpretations, ignorance, and omissions. Toss in a hefty amount of guilt, fear, and doubt as the result of events that happened in interconnected books prior to this one (this series is spun off from Crane’s Chain Reaction series), and both of these men are constantly clinging to one another even as they obsess that the other is pulling away. 

I’m not going to pretend I care about the plot of this book, because I don’t. I didn’t. It provides a good enough framework for the romance to work, with its themes of obsession gone wrong and the things we do for love, but I have to tell you I was 100% in this book for Spencer and Kendrick.
