REVIEW - An Unexpected Distraction (Richter #3) by Catherine Bybee

The Book
Release Date: 30 November 2021

Family secrets and fresh romance collide in this heart-pounding Richter series installment by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee.

Jacqueline “Jax” Simon knows how to expose she’s a skilled operative with MacBain Security and Solutions. When Jax hears her parents are divorcing, she races to London to find out why. She’s determined to learn the truth, especially when her investigation uncovers why her parents sent her to Richter, the German military school that made her a fighter.

Andrew Craig collects Jax at Heathrow Airport as a favor. He’s heard she’s a handful, but he didn’t know she’s dangerously gorgeous too. His instant attraction could change his life…or end it.

Jax doesn’t want to fall for Andrew, but soon he’s worming his way into her life. Together, they infiltrate Richter to discover if it has returned to its covert training children to be spies and assassins and blackmailing parents to look the other way. As the attraction between the two intensifies, so do the secrets exploding all around them. How deadly are those secrets—and who will survive?

My Review    4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Montlake Romance, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

In this book Jax Simon is called home by her brother as there is a family emergency.  Her brother never calls so she flys straight over to find that her brother has sent someone to pick her up.

Andrew is one of Harry's friends and is surprised by Harry's sister, she's not much like her brother described and he is instantly taken with her, even though she mistakes him for the hired help.

JAx is soon pulled into the family drama and why things are coming out now, just as there is news from Richter that things may be heading in the wrong direction again.

Andrew helps JAx where he can, the MacBain security family get involved with both family and Richter issues, finding a connection between them.  

I enjoyed the chemistry between the pair, the continued family of MacBain and the close friendship Jax has with Claire.  I loved that JAx was able to get close to some of her family members at last.

I enjoyed this book and liked that there was an ending that could lend to further books being written in the future.
