Crossfire: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (Cross Duet Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Kathy Lockheart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 289 ratings

In my defense, I didn't know he was sent to kill me when I fell in love with him.

Grayson. Dark. Dangerous. Irresistible.

One moment, he's making me feel alive for the first time since Dad died. The next? He's got a cold steel blade to my throat. Turns out, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Homicidal is actually an assassin ordered to kill me.

Now I'm his prisoner. I hate that his touch still ignites my soul, each one a cruel reminder that the next could be my last. I want to believe he would never actually hurt me, but Grayson’s code is absolute: eliminate any threat to innocents. And someone's working overtime to convince him I’m guilty… Who? And why?

As secrets unravel, I'm forced to confront the shocking truth about why Grayson was sent to silence me forever… Leaving me with one haunting question:

Will the man who gave me a reason to live become the one who takes my life?

*CROSSFIRE is Book One of the Cross Duet and ends on a cliffhanger. The story concludes in Book Two, CROSSOVER.

**Author's Note: This book follows Grayson Lockwood, brother of Hunter from the Vendetta Duet. While not essential, readers may enjoy starting with Secret Vendetta for additional context.**

Exhilarating read!
4 out of 5 stars
Exhilarating read!
Hitman romance, CIA, Heroine in danger, He falls hard, slow burnThis was an exhilarating read! A great story with action, suspense, lots of tension, steam and spice!It's a slow burn, very slow, but that makes the tension absolutely delicious! It gives the time needed to get to know the main characters and their backstories before paying out with spice!I really enjoyed getting to know Ivy, the female main character (FMC), and learn about her emotional backstory and how she processes her father's death. She is also trained in self defense and can hold her own! I do love a strong FMC.I really enjoyed the hitman/CIA story because it kept the story moving and was captivating! Be warned...this ends in a cliffhanger with book two coming this December!

    4.5 ⭐️ Kathy Lockheart has done it again. There is so much suspense that you are literally left on the edge of your seat. There were a few valleys in the beginning but the end is total chaos. Grayson and Ivy would make the perfect team in life and work, if it heads that direction. After reading Hunter and Lunas story (Secret Vendetta and Silent Vendetta), I can confidently say I am invested in the Lockwood family.

    I have my thoughts on who is really behind the bad guy but I guess we will have to wait until December to see if it is correct.

    Wow, Grayson and Ivy gave us suspense to the fullest. These two were fun to watch with lots of feels and action. It did leave us with a cliffy, so I am dying for the next book. This was my first book by this author and I loved it, so I will be reading her backlist.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A fast paced and exciting romantic mystery/thriller
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024
    A fast paced and exciting romantic mystery/thriller, this is a chemistry-filled sort-of-enemies-to-lovers story that had me hooked from the very beginning, and I really enjoyed this read.

    This is the first book in a duet, and part of a broader series as it follows on from the Vendetta Duet - the heroes of both duets are brothers, and there are two more Lockwood brothers who look poised to have their stories told as well. But you could read this duet independently of the first (I did). Just beware mini-spoilers for the earlier books.

    Grayson Lockwood is a CIA assassin who is on the trail of a dangerous arms dealer, but his mission goes all wrong when an unknown woman walks into his carefully set-up trap. It’s his second attempt to take down this particular bad guy, so when he fails again, he assumes the woman is involved somehow, and he’s determined to find out all that he can about her. So he plans a ‘random’ meeting at her local coffee shop, posing as a flirtatious customer, only to find himself completely smitten for real.

    Ivy is pretty much at rock bottom. She is in some serious financial trouble, she’s got a pesky ex, and she’s still grieving the death of her beloved father a year ago. Then she gets caught up in a scary situation and barely escapes with her life. But things start to look up when she meets Grayson in a coffee shop. He’s smart, funny, their chemistry is wild, and he makes her alive for the first time in a long time.

    But their two worlds truly collide when Grayson received his next target, and it turns out to be the very woman that he’s falling for. Desperate to uncover the truth, he whisks her away to a remote cabin to figure out who Ivy really is, what she is involved in, and who is targeting her.

    It’s an exciting ride, and I was right on board with these two from the very beginning. I could feel their attraction, I was excited to see how their story would unfold, and when everything shifts and we get this captive/captor, forced proximity situation, it becomes even more intense. With the story written in dual POV, we know exactly what’s going on with both of them and can see how they feel about each other, but I loved watching them work through it all, falling harder for each other every step of the way. The romance is fast moving but it’s sexy and emotional with great sexual tension, and it ties in well with the mystery and suspense of their situation, which kept me guessing through the whole story.

    This is my first read by Kathy Lockheart, and I like her writing, though I think there was a bit too much time spent inside the characters’ heads. It’s one of those situations where a line of dialogue is spoken, and then you disappear into the character’s thoughts so deeply that by the time they reply, you have to flick back and see what they’re responding to. I prefer more dialogue to thoughts in my books. But I am invested in the story and keen to go back and read Grayson’s brother, Hunter’s books. I enjoyed what we did see of his family, and am hoping we get to see more of them.

    The book ends on a nasty cliffhanger, and I’m looking forward to the continuation of Grayson and Ivy’s story in Crossover.

    Grayson is a CIA operative whose mission fails and Ivy is there at the wrong place at the wrong time. Ivy finds herself in a bad situation and Grayson finds out he has order to terminate her.
    This is the first time I am reading Kathy Lockheart's book.
    The book grabbed me right off the bat. The character development was great. Both together and individually.
    What Ivy & Grayson have gone through has been difficult.
    I love the assassin falling for his target. The book is full of suspense, secrets, & lies. Even though I did find the writing long winded at times, the plot & the characters kept me intrigued. The book does end in a cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to see what happens to Grayson & Ivy.

    After the death of her father, Ivy is left searching for answering. After meeting someone online claiming to have known her father, Ivy agrees to meet. When Ivy walks in to meet the mystery man, she steps into a CIA operation. One that doesn't involve her but brings her to the top of the CIAs list.
    Grayson Lockwood is a highly trained CIA assassin. When Iny enters and ruins his hit, Grayson then makes it his mission to find out who she is. It doesn't take long before Ivy has a target on her back and Grayson is assigned to kill her.

    Oh. My. Goodness.
    It was a little slow to start but once it started to take off it did not slow down! I loved Grayson's loyalty and Ivy's stubbornness and independence. She definitely held her own. Grayson, swoon. He may be a cold-blooded killer but I loved him! The character build up was great and my heart broke for both of them and their troubled pasts. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and this one was off the charts!

    THE ENDING!!
    I was NOT prepared and I cannot wait for the second book!! I need ANSWERS!!
