4.8 out of 5 stars 963 ratings
CIA operative Titus Ray expects the unexpected.

Just not this time. Just not this way. Just not on his honeymoon.

An unexpected encounter in Morocco . . .

Titus and Nikki begin their new life together in a church ceremony in Norman, Oklahoma and immediately fly to Marrakesh, Morocco for their honeymoon. Then, the unexpected happens, and Titus has an encounter with Jihadi terrorist Baran Asan.

An unexpected discovery in Israel . . .

Cutting their honeymoon short, Titus and Nikki head over to Israel to search for their foster child’s grandmother, but then an unexpected discovery leads to a second sighting of Baran Asan and reveals disturbing news about a planned assassination in Iraq.

An unexpected assassination in Iraq . . .

With time running out, the Agency sends Titus to Baghdad to prevent the assassination of the Iraqi Prime Minister. But is he really the assassin’s target? Could it be someone else?

Book VI in the Titus Ray Thriller Series is a spellbinding adventure of the unexpected, where Titus learns to rely on his fledgling faith, confront his past failures, and embrace a new life with Nikki Saxon Ray.

A Goodreads reviewer writes, "The characters are very well-developed and believable. I enjoyed the way the author described Titus Ray's internal struggles and character flaws, creating a very authentic main character. The story was action-packed, and one is left wondering how the author could be so knowledgeable of the CIA and the work of their covert operatives. I've read and enjoyed many Robert Ludlum books and I'd rank this series right up there with his!"

    This series is so good! I love the characters, the spy craft, and the story line in each book. Honestly, the workings of the CIA are so well written and so believable. The fact that God is "sprinkled into" the story is an added bonus for me though you don't have to be a believer to enjoy these books. But I love it!

    This is the first book in the series that I have read. I did look at the others but did not fancy the subjects. I thought I could try this book, and I am so pleased I did. The author brings the whole story to life, I found that, in a way, I was there in the scenes. It is a clean book and full of suspense and mystery. The details of the plot are impressive and authentic and kept me on turning the pages. This is a book not to miss.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read
    Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2019

    What I enjoyed about this book:

    • There were funny moments and witty banter throughout this book.
    • Nikki and Titus were characters you wanted to know more about.
    • Eleanor, Mitchell, and Carlton were minor characters that added dimension to the plot.
    • I like the intrigue of a spy novel.
    • I like it when an author has the main characters use their brains and do not have them make ridiculous mistakes to drive the action of the story.
    • The author presented a well-crafted enjoyable story. It kept my interest from the beginning until the end.
    • I did not find this contemporary Christian romance/spy novel preachy. Religion was just a natural part of the characters' lives. No lectures.
    • This was a clean read.

    I will be listening to or reading more books by this author. I will also keep a lookout for books narrated by D. C. Newman.

    I chose the 5 star rating to show my appreciation for an excellent book, and not only this book but the whole series. Very well written and edited, which is a plus in my mind. The only slight annoyance was when the names were changed from a first name to a last name in the story. A little confusion but I'm A really old lady so maybe it doesn't count.

    This busy book is part of the Titus Ray Thriller Series. The series should be read in order to get a good handle on the personal relationships and river of events. This is a clean, Christian Series that contains no foul language, no sex, no gore, and minimal violence. Our hero is a newly minted Christian who is still trying to balance his work as a CIA covert operative and his beliefs. The plot is tight, and the story is well thought out. All of these books are page-turners! I have been enjoying binge-reading them all!

    Y'all this book is a page turning thriller. I love Titus Ray! I have read every one of the books and they just keep getting better and better. I keep asking myself how does the author know all this spy stufff? She is amazing. There is action, romance and some laugh out loud comic relief. This would make a great movie. I am in love with Titus, but Ben Mitchell is making a claim on my heart. I don't think I'll be able to stand waiting until the next book. Great job Mrs. Ehrlich!

    If you like suspense and a wonderful story, this is the book for you. I continue to be amazed at the attention to detail Luana gives to each book. I feel she has been to each of the areas she writes about and knows it well.
    I also love the story of Nikki and Titus and their love and interaction, as well as the story of Eleanor. I can’t put the books down!
    The interaction with each person is so real and makes you keep coming back. My husband enjoys them too. Don’t miss any of them!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Titus Ray Honeymoon still business as usual
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    If you have enjoyed any of his other adventures you know your in for a great ride, if not don't worry it works as a stand alone but you will probably want to get his others titlesc after you've read the one.
    Well Titus gets married then flies of on honeymoon like most couples only Nikki and Titus well they can afford a better venue than me, one that's good enough for the Iraqi Prime Minister as he attends an Arab Heads of State Conference. So it's not going to be your average honeymoon and avoids the problem that it would otherwise not make for a great thriller. This adventure is a bit more personal than some of his others as well the wedding but also there is Eleanor whom they have been fostering after her Dad was killed while in a opp that Titus was also on. So i will let you read for yourself what happens and it is well worth reading lots of action and question answered before but you will get to see for yourself! How does a agent work when he's a Christian and may have to kill or lie? Well your about to find out if you haven't already but this job or rather career is a big Titus love and one he excels at so makes for a great read and i really do recommend it to you. I enjoyed it and hope you do to.
