![]() Even so, TAG is still a must read for the Summer of 2015! It felt like perhaps the author’s deadline was approaching and she had to push the final few chapters into half the time. My only complaint? The ending was rushed and tied up far too quickly. They are average people with average problems thrown into a larger than life situation. Cali isn’t a super agent and TAG isn’t an “alpha male” character. He has powerful enemies and his family becomes the target, but who is really after Cali? Is it the CIA’s enemies or something even darker than Cali can imagine? TAG is not your run of the mill novel. TAG is a standalone novel about a daughter of a man who’s life work has been the CIA. A man who went into the military to protect his country, but returns someone who feels too much was asked of him. We learn about a Marine who gave up everything including his own identity to protect his country, but instead of feeling righteous he struggles with the question: was it worth it? Was Tango only a pawn in a larger game? Did he murder insurgents or protect his country? This was so very refreshing and inspiring for someone who has very complicated feelings about the military. The characters are unaware of the broader picture, but together they uncover the secrets that have destroyed Cali’s life. Why did I love this book? Tango and Cali are different people who find one another amidst a soap opera situation. The two imperfect characters are perfect for one another. Tango has been betrayed in other ways and has betrayed his family. Cali has been betrayed by her parents and watched her sister be betrayed by others. The struggle to trust when it’s been broken by all those who should have been trustworthy is at the core of this novel. ![]() TAG is a story about more than love and survival. I will always protect you, I want to say. The loss of her will make my life meaningless once gone. The world is out-of-focus, and it’s just her and me-the little girl kneeling next to me at our dollhouse, the little girl sitting at the other side of our tea party table, the young woman whose shoulder has gathered so many of my fallen tears. In and out, faster and faster, fighting with the last breaths she will take. Her dark cobalt eyes are large and appear silver from the reflecting street lights, which illuminates her fear even more. He’s frustrating because he makes her want something she hasn’t wanted since before when she made a mistake in trusting the wrong person. Cali’s life is turned upside down when sexy, smart mouthed Tango becomes her body guard. Shes unable to stay in one place for long and her sole purpose for continuing on is revenge on all those who hurt her sister. Its not her fault her life continues to be not her own and her CIA father has such powerful enemies. He’s in over his head on this one.Ĭali has seen enough death, bloodshed and fear to last her a lifetime. He realizes too late that while he’s been bringing down her walls she’s been doing the same to him. The girl is nothing like Tango expected and slowly he breaks down her walls protecting her from the world. He has just as many secrets as the man who hired him to keep watch over his daughter and just as many reasons to keep them to himself. Tango, an ex-marine superman, has accepted a job to babysit a kid with a bad attitude in an equally bad situation. Its a little different from your average New Adult Romance and that’s why this one stands out so resolutely. TAG is the story of two people who find love in the most obscure circumstances. Ryan's New Adult novel, TAG, the canyons hold secrets, the waterfalls provide safety, and romance has a pesky way of showing up when you are sweaty and dirty and least expect it. But what was I supposed to do when I found out I am the one not to be trusted? Turns out, I was always the bait in this conspiracy. Before she was gone, my mom warned me to know everyone and trust no one. Even the bravest person can be in need of a miracle. But, what if he too isn't what I think? A ticking time bomb isn't going to leave me much time to waver. But his tattoos, his smell, his darkness, and his body- that marine has taken over my every thought. And while I want him more than I've ever wanted anything in my twenty-two years, danger lurks around every corner and I simply can't take the chance of it finding me. I turned my solitude to strength because the alternative was too bleak. Then my mom passed away, and my sister was murdered. My dad, the bigwig CIA agent, was always on the run, whether he was being chased or doing the chasing.
