Nobody Does It Better (Masters and Mercenaries Book 15)

It’s no secret I love Lexi Blake, I find her books phenomenal, and her storylines always draw me right in. I’m not sure this book quite stands up to her others – don’t get me wrong – Nobody Does It Better was still fascinating and well-constructed, I just didn’t feel the same connection I usually do with her books.Nobody Does It Better is the fifteenth and final book in Lexi Blake’s Masters & Mercenaries series. There will be a spin-off series and this book set up the premise of that series wonderfully. All the books in the Masters & Mercenaries series can be read as stand-alones, but some storylines continue throughout the series and knowledge of them is helpful. I’ve not read all the books, and there were times I wished I had all the information from the previous books. Nobody Does It Better is written in third person limited perspective, alternating between Kayla and Joshua’s viewpoints.I always find arranged relationships fascinating. The idea of committing to a relationship – and a person – without first exploring the chemistry and dynamics at play with your partner captivates me. It’s even better when the chemistry between those people is immediate and intense like it was for Kay and Josh. I could nearly feel the current between them myself, that’s how well Ms. Blake conveyed her characters' attraction to one another.Josh, while icy on the surface, was a wonderfully sympathetic character. Between the tiny glimpse of his past, we got in the prologue and the hints of what his past had been like; his pain was palpable. Once we got to know him, it was easy to forgive the crueler things he thought, said, and did in light of his past. Kay surprised me; I wasn’t expecting her optimism. I had assumed it was a persona she’d taken on, but as the story went on it became obvious she was very good at compartmentalizing her work like from her real life. She was an engrossing creature, and I kind of loved her for her quirkiness.Several storylines were converging in Nobody Does It Better, most of them introduced in this novel, but at least one was introduced farther back in the series. It could have been too much, too many moving parts to keep track of, but somehow, I never felt like there was an overload, each moving part was laid out in such a way there was an ease to putting that part of the puzzle exactly where it belonged. To the point, I had almost riddled the entire thing out before the reveal was completely laid out.The only thing I wish for Nobody Does It Better was that it had that IT factor; the book just didn’t have the same magic that her other books do. It’s one of those unquantifiable things, a feeling more than anything else, and I missed it.Lexi Blake writes romantic suspense like few others. She’s able to make you care for her characters, even while they’re doing and saying things you don’t agree with and wraps you up so tightly in her storylines you can’t help but feel each moment like you are in the middle of all the action. I’ve loved each book in the Masters & Mercenaries series I’ve read and can’t wait to go back and fill in the blanks on the ones I’ve missed; I’m also eagerly anticipating the spinoff series.

Kayla goes undercover as her dead twin sister at the CIA. After years with them she goes to McKay-Taggert and Knight Security business. She is a trained assassin and now a bodyguard. Josh is a movie star with a past that he wants kept secret. He has stalkers after him, and is also being blackmailed to keep is past quiet. He and he already has two of bodyguards from the security company but needs one to pose as his girlfriend and submissive.Kayla is there to get into a drug lords home because Josh is friends with him and has been invited to the mansion when he goes to shoot a movie in Mexico.It all goes fubar when Kayla tells Josh the truth he was slightly upset to find out he was being used and wanted her gone. She gets him to let her stay to finish the op. When she gets caught at getting the info they need from the drug lord. Now she has to figure out how to get out of the mess she’s in and hopefully keep Josh too.Kayla is wicked funny, sexy, and deadly. Josh is a handsome movie star with deep dark secrets and a coldness towards people that only Kayla can get passed. Dom/sub relationship, smoking sex scenes, secrets, and several shocking surprises. I was totally shocked and can wait for Ezra’s story. Plus the lost boys too.

This was book 15 in the "Masters and Mercenaries" series and I really hope that this isn't the last book in this series I would really miss Big Tag. Kayla Summers was an elite CIA double agent, working inside China’s deadly MSS. Now, she works for McKay-Taggart London when Ezra Fain ask her to work a case with him she agrees to be the bodyguard and sub for a Hollywood movie star Joshua Hunt. Josh is a hot sexy rich leading man in Hollywood he is also friends with Jared Johns the brother of Kai who we met in book 10. This was a really good book I love reading Lexi's books. Josh who has a was discovered when he was 18 is being blackmailed because of his past. The group is trying to find out his ties to a Mexican drug lord an agent has been killed when Josh finds out that Kay is using him he is angry at her because he loved her. I have always liked Kay she is strong smart and sexy and she would do anything to protect those she loves. When she finds out about Josh being blackmailed she vows to find the person and kill her. They both have dark past and when ghost show up while they are in Mexico it's a shock and all the pieces fall in line. We also met her father's who adopted her and it was kind of funny that they just showed up. I loved reading this book and I felt bad for what happened to Ezra. The sex in this book were hot these two had get chemistry. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. I really want to no what's going on with Eve and Alex and her being pregnant and Charlie wanting another baby.

The story storyline witty and romantic comedy charming book enjoyed very much the characters the fierce warrior Kayla Summer submitting to bad boy Joshua Hunt. The Hollywood star the song I affiliate with Joshua Hunt character is Billie eilish bad guy and Kayla song is you say from lauren diagle. The secrets and lies are hidden under the from the outside world, and when they colide absolutely hilarious when Kayla Summer parents meet Joshua Hunt for the first time and their journey from their home to Kayla brilliant don't won't to spoil it. Also the past catches up with them both and some familiar faces return. Also of course Big Tag and the team. Loved the series books

I have read about Kayla in previous books and it was nice to see her get a taste of paradise. This book had some great twists that I shall not reveal but they are well worth it! Yet another fantastic read....I was supposed to be working but I couldn’t resist just reading that little bit more!! That for me guarantees the novel as a full five stars!! Can’t wait to read more about the lost boys in the next one...please, please, please hurry up and keep writing!!! This series has continued to stay fresh and addictive. There are not many that claim that but Lexi Blake is NEVER dull. A guaranteed good read from her...start at the beginning though and I assure you it’s worth it!

Another excellent novel. It is full of intrigue with a complex spy story running through it. There4 is also the romance which develops between Kayla and Josh. This has many bumpy patches and problems that often seem to be insurmountable.I enjoyed this as much as all of the other novels and I intend to read it again as the characters which are found in the whole series seem to have become like family and it seems a long time before the next book will be published.

Typical formula,but not a typical ending or climax. What a way to give us sunshine in toxic waters. Well done Ms Blake, another great instalment to a series,that I will never leave. One issue thou, I really need more female sarcasm in these books (frigging hell I'm Kayla picking).

Really enjoyed this book especially hearing more about Ezra and the Lost Boys and now what I really want is to five into the Bliss books. I also will need updates of Kay and Josh in future books. The only problem with Lexi Blake books is the never ending need for more.
