This novel was a bit grittier than I thought it would be, but I enjoyed that part of the book the most. It was full of intrigue and had likable, yet imperfect characters. I felt their attraction and the pain that Kadence experienced when she allowed herself to feel safe and protected with Lyndon. I also felt her fear of love and yet it was unconditional love that inspired her to want to be different and eventually thawed her stone-cold sniper's heart. This book ended on a good note but at the same time some of it was not fully believable. I did enjoy the storyline of them being on the run while trying to stop the plot to unleash Ebola on the population... that held my interest. The fighting scenes were a bit too technical sounding and I got a bit lost in the details. The emotional connection the characters developed was the high point of the story for me. The cat made for a good sidekick, too. Kandace, a former CIA assassin now detached and hiding from her family, realizes that Lyndon is about to be killed and intervenes before the assassin can shoot. Lyndon, a nerdy scientist, can’t imagine why anyone would want to murder him, but hoodlums soon attempt to capture him. Kandace and Lyndon deduce his expert knowledge of the Ebola virus is why people are after him. They uncover a plot to use Ebola to murder everyone at the upcoming State of the Union Address. The premise is promising, but several flaws lessened my reading enjoyment. A shortcoming that runs throughout the book is the lack of plot complexity. As a result, Kandace and Lyndon spend a significant portion of the book driving around discussing themselves and speculating on the villain’s motives. A secondary plot would have involved the protagonists in more intriguing activities. Furthermore, the penultimate resolution (before the SOU address) and resolution (at the CDC in Atlanta) are unrealistic and disappointingly simple. Who wudda thunk it could be so easy? Kandace and Lyndon, in many respects, are clichés. While romantically attracted to each other, they are emotionally damaged and work to hide and deny their attraction. Kandace’s stubbornly inflexible fatalism becomes tedious. Although depicted as agnostic or atheist, Kandace resorts to praying for the safety of Lyndon. Some readers will welcome this transformation. However, the groundwork for this aspect of Kandace’s personality is lacking, so it seems like plot filler and a shallow effort to appeal to an audience that enjoys faith-based fiction. Despite these flaws, the story is somewhat entertaining. Koslin is a first-time novelist, and future offerings may improve upon this satisfactory beginning. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. In Never Miss, Kadence is a highly skilled sniper who stumbles into saving the life of Lyndon Vaile, a researcher studying Ebola. As multiple attempts are made on Lyndon’s life, the two discover a plot to wipe out the majority of the human population by releasing a man-made Ebola virus. As they rush to discover the identity of the plan’s mastermind and stop the release of the virus, Kadence and Lyndon also discover deep feelings growing between them. But will the mistakes of her past destroy their chance for a future together?Overall, I did enjoy reading this story. I think the plot is a little far-fetched, and there were times when I felt like the story dragged a bit. But Kadence and Lyndon are likable characters, and the plot is original. I read a lot of Christian fiction/romance, so I enjoyed reading a story that was way different from the other books I’ve read lately. I also appreciate that this was a clean romance with a focus on faith. *I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. It sure started out right away with an adventure. Took me a while to figure out what was going on and how the characters would work together. There seemed to be a lot of sexual tension throughout the whole book. Pretty crazy family life for her and didn't expect that part of the story. It was suspenseful many times. An okay read. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Okay, wow, wow, wow! I did not expect to find a nerdy guy who is very much not only a nerd and is actually a perfect hero. I didn't expect to find such a beautifully broken heroine with an extremely hard past.
This is the first book I've read of Koslin's and I'm glad I did! The plot was not anything like I expected though I wasn't sure WHAT to expect.
Kadance's and Lyndon's thrilling ride to outrun killers while trying to stop a horrific attack is one that you won't want to miss.
Warnings: Mature content that is shown in a good way however I recommend this book for 18 and older.
