About Code Name Harbor
Josie is an only child. Her father is military intelligence and she grew up learning how to suss out information from various sources and determining what is real and what is not. She is a highly sought after cyber intelligence expert and has worked for the NSA.
Finn is an only child and spent his teen years in system. He was rebellious and ended up in juvie. Typical young and dumb teenager. But he did not learn his lesson. Instead, he ended up doing time as an adult. He is not proud of that and swears to never go back. But has he really reformed his ways?
While performing surveillance work for a potential crime, Josie is found by a security patrol. She is forced to drop her evidence in the bottom of the body of water and swim for her life. Lucky for her, maybe, there is another boat nearby. They pull her aboard and the owner works to warm her up while his captain gets them the heck out of dodge.
Now Josie is not just a contractor to the FBI, she is a witness requiring protection. She has been debriefed by Cole, but failed to mention the name of her savior. She knows there is something else going on in his world that is probably not legal, so she only gives enough information to get by. But Cole is not dumb and he knows she is holding back information.
Now that Finn knows Josie is in trouble because of what she saw, and that they know who she is, he has deemed himself her personal protection. It does not hurt that he is overly attracted to her. He knows she works for Jameson and that they could easily handle her security, but he is determined. Plus he gets side benefits.
But Finn cannot hide who and what he is. He knows Josie has already run a background check on him. But he wants to be the one to tell her everything about his life. He owes her that much.
After Finn tells her everything, Josie is not deterred from their relationship. She has fallen for him. But his past will come back to haunt them.
There is a traitor in Finn’s crew that will wreak havoc on him personally and professionally. Will they cost him everything, including the woman he loves and his own life?
Impressions
This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Josie did not like being caged and having her wings clipped. Finn worried that giving her a little freedom could cost them everything. Malik and Cole worried about Josie, period.
Finn has finally found his person. But a friend of his, or someone who he thought was a just a friend, is jealous. She blames Josie for everything. Finn is not having it and puts her in her place. I felt bad for Connie, but what she did in response would have long term ramifications.
I really liked the FBI agent that was working with Jameson on the case they were building. She had enough respect for Josie and Finn that she spoke to them personally about the potential plea deal. She also chose not to pursue him for his dalliances. Don’t Ask. Don’t Tell.
Narration
From the first time I listened to him, Sean Masters became one of my absolute favorite male narrators. He has such a wide range of voice. I truly loved him as Finn and look forward to listening to more from him. Erin Mallon is always a joy to listen to. She becomes her character and you feel it in her narration.
