Secrets of Nothing

Liz Borino

After several months overseas, Rhett and Kaden O’Neil fantasize about a return to their version of normalcy. However, the FBI mission shows no signs of completion and the men are forced to wait. 

Just when Rhett reaches the end of his patience, a single phone call shatters his world. His beloved grandfather’s plane disappeared. No tracking. No landing. No crash site. 

Nothing. 

Rhett now must unravel the lies in place to protect him so he can help his family. And not even the risk to his own life will stop him.

Excerpt

Rhett shook his head. With a deep breath, he logged onto the employee portal and typed Pop’s flight number into the tracking system. Rhett blinked at the screen.

“What the fuck?” Kaden whispered, peering over his shoulder.

Without answering his husband – because he couldn’t – Rhett dialed Jasper. One ring. Two rings. Please answer.

“Hey, Rhett,” he answered after the third ring. “Isn’t it early there?”

“About six a.m. Annabelle called, though, and I told her I’d try to get some information to help her relax,” Rhett said.

Silence. “About your grandfather.” Statement, not a question.

“She call you, too?”

“No, I’m not the person she goes to for comfort,” he answered with an unfamiliar edge to his voice that Rhett didn’t have time to explore. “But I’m waiting for him, too.”

Right… “Would you run a track on Trixie for me, please?”

“Can’t you?”

“Yeah, but I’d appreciate you confirming what I found. I think there might be a glitch on my end.” I hope.

Jasper typed on the other end. “Um, can you confirm the plane number?”

Rhett swallowed hard and his heart raced. “Why?”

“Please?”

He blew out a breath and recited the plane’s registered number.

More typing. “And he left on Friday morning at four-thirty?”

“Yes, why? What are you seeing?”

An unmeasurable moment of silence preceded Jasper’s sharp inhale. “Nothing.”

“What the hell do you mean, ‘nothing’?”

“After Lou cleared him for takeoff we have nothing. No tracking. No communication.”

Nothing. The word cleared every other thought from Rhett’s head and sucked the moisture from his mouth. If he could count on one thing with his grandfather, it was his adherence to safety. To get nothing meant his navigation system was disabled, which meant…

“I’m sorry, man.” Jasper’s voice yanked him from his thoughts. “Want me to call the FAA or Annabelle?”

“Definitely not Annabelle. Yes, I’m going to be an asshole and wait until we have some answers before talking to her.”

“No arguments there,” Jasper said. “FAA?”

Rhett leaned on Kaden, who had appeared at his side somewhere around the time he lost all the air from his lungs. “Let me ask the FBI. If they don’t know anything, we’ll start a full investigation. Can you send me a screen shot of the flight?”

“Um,” Jasper started, “sure, but why would the FBI track flights? I know he used to run missions for them, but he can’t anymore.”

“He and Stuart are friends, and I have to exhaust all possibilities before involving the FAA.”

More silence. “You know best.”

No, I don’t, but we’ll pretend.

“Keep me updated.”

“Will do. Thanks, Jasper.”

Review: Rhett and Kaden have been to hell and back again, a couple times actually, on their journey for that ever elusive happy ever after. Now they are stuck overseas and Kaden is having nightmares, living through the daily pain of losing his leg and now they learn that someone is trying to kill them. When Rhett’s granddad goes missing, he will move mountains to find him and bring him home, no matter the cost. But is this just a ploy to bring Rhett out into the open?

I really enjoyed the sense of normality that was playing in the background, sort of like white noise, while Rhett and Kay were being put through the ringer. This book would have been way more tragic had it not been for the dialogue between Rhett and his sister. Her sexcapades in the cockpit of the plane had me in stitches.

What I didn’t care much for was the almost juvenile description of Rhett and Kaden when they were having sex. Seriously, it almost read like a YA book during the supposed passionate scenes, and that was very annoying when you take into account the similar situations in previous books. There was the usual tenderness they share, Rhett just worships Kaden and that was evident throughout the story. Kaden is experiencing some depression and self loathing having lost part of his leg in the plane crash, but Rhett is determined to make sure Kay knows how much he loves him every day, that was amazing.

This was just an okay read for me, and that pains me, because I’ve loved this series. Even with the slight step back with this story for me, I’ll continue to read Rhett and Kaden’s journies because I’m so invested in them as a couple that I have to know where the road is taking them. So I’ll still recommend this series to anyone that likes passionate romance and stories where your male leads have to struggle to find their happiness, but the reward is there in the end.
