Kept in the Dark (Locke and Keyes Agency, #1) [Delta & Caiden] by Charlie Cochet

This one was engaging right from the start and kept on going! Most of the book wasn't "action packed" though both MCs were working the case but near the end - all hell broke loose! As this was the first book in this new series there's a bit of introduction about the agency and the work they are doing. I liked that it wasn't overwhelming. We got what we needed, there's still a "taste" for the next ones with also a nice glimpse to the other characters to be coupled in the next books! Can't wait for Si's book "Lips are Sealed"!

The book is told from both D and Caiden's POV. They were both betrayed 2 years ago resulting in Caiden's cover (as a CIA spy) being blown leaving him with a desk job - NOT what he bargained for.. and D – a mercenary himself – was killed (though as you can imagine he was somehow revived). While Caiden is quite upset with the state of his life, D though needed to change his identity is living THE life working for Locke and Keyes Agency.

Caiden Cardosa knew he wanted to be a spy since he was a little kid. He got his dream working as a CIA officer until his cover was blown in Vienna (not long after he met and enjoyed a steaming night with the mysterious Alvaro Montero). Returning to US soil he knew things are never going to be the same again. Working as an analyst is BORING and his life outside of work isn't different – living in a grim grey apartment and no love life to speak of..
