Ben in Love: A Ben Mitchell/Titus Ray Thriller (Ben Mitchell/Titus Ray Thrillers) Kindle Edition

by Luana Ehrlich (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 557 ratings
CIA operative Titus Ray isn’t interested in getting involved in Ben Mitchell’s love life.
Not until he discovers Ben is lying about being in love with the daughter of a Turkish cleric.

Ben’s love life is complicated . . .
 Ben claims to be in love with Kamila Hanim, the daughter of an exiled Muslim cleric, who’s been accused of trying to overthrow the Turkish government. Titus doesn’t believe him. He thinks Ben is in love with Jennifer, another CIA operative. Can Ben’s feelings for Jennifer survive his deception?

Ben’s love life is confusing . . .
After Titus decides to put Ben under surveillance, he follows him to a compound in northern Virginia, where he discovers Ben is entangled in a duplicitous joint operation involving the FBI and an operative from Titus’s past. Will Titus be able to share his newfound faith with an old enemy?

Ben’s love life is cunning . . .
Once Titus learns the truth about Ben’s deception, he and Jennifer join with Ben to prevent a Turkish terrorist cell from carrying out a kidnapping operation on American soil. Can the two men discover the truth before it’s too late?

Ben’s love life is complicated, confusing, and cunning . . .

And then it turns deadly.

 Book I in the Ben Mitchell/Titus Ray Thriller Series builds on the relationship Titus developed with Ben in the Titus Ray Thriller Series and continues Titus’s reluctant mentoring of the younger covert operative when he becomes involved in a dangerous love triangle.

 If you enjoy a clean, amusing, multilayered thriller with a hero who’s trying to figure out how to make his faith and his CIA career work together, you’ll love this book!

Editorial Reviews

Review

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!"

    I find it extremely interesting that the author thinks that spies can be Christians. But, it seems like whenever they're faced with something where they have to be honest they find a way to be honest. Sometimes that requires wise. God Sometimes that requires wise. God does not like liars. So I find this whole concept really interesting. Can't wait to read the next 1.

    This book by Luana Ehrlich is billed as a Titus Ray/Ben Mitchell thriller. We get to know Ben a little better in this book and it keeps us guessing as to Ben’s motivation and if he can be trusted. Great book. Great story. Great characters and the writing is terrific.

    I'm a big fan of Luana Ehrlich books. I've read them all. This book is just a good as the others. Ehrlich does a great job of developing her characters. They have depth and you feel like you know them. And her stories, while woven together, can stand alone. She is great at giving you enough background information that you wouldn't be lost if you hadn't read the previous novels. Pick up this book. You won't be sorry.
