Synopsis (Goodreads):
Only one thing matters to Kai: getting the job done, and doing it better than anyone else.

But when a beautiful thief crashes his security gig, claiming she's trying to protect the valuable artifact he's guarding, all his careful plans go up in flames. He doesn't believe a word she says—until the item is stolen right out from under them.

Recovering the artifact before the real thief can unleash its ancient magic requires insider knowledge—information the mysterious trespasser possesses. Teaming up with a stranger isn't Kai's idea of smart, but he'll need all the help he can get to take on a notorious rogue and arcane power from the time of the gods.
Thoughts on A Damsel and a Demigod: Ahh, yes. The first meeting between intensely focused Kai and the beautiful, slightly sassy Izzah. Except, she's not quite at the sass levels we know her at later, yet. Which is cool because it means she'll grow into herself and her confidence and I LIKE THAT.

As for Kai, the guy is very good at being in charge. He doesn't like to leave things to chance and Izzah's not quite defined plan to hunt down a thief has Kai in knots more than once. That said, he does hand over the reins and let her use her knowledge to track the person they have in their sights.

A botched security detail (which isn't really the guys' fault since the thief had abilities at his disposal they weren't aware of), a race against time, a harrowing journey through a tunnel, and a very BIG display of power. *thumbs up*
