MY REVIEW

Tyler and Owen are the main characters in this book. Tyler works for A-Tac and she is transporting a detonator.  The detonator was hi-jacked and the 2 men that were with the detonator were killed and Tyler was knocked out.  Tyler and Owen are working together trying to locate the detonator and they knew that there was a mole in the A-Tac team that they had to find out who it was.  This is the 3rd book in the A-Tac Series and the 2nd book that I have read by Dee Davis.  This book can be read by itself or with the series.  I found that this book was pretty good but I did like Dangerous Desires much better. It took me a little while to get into this story but after reading for a couple chapters it caught my attention pretty good.  The book is well written and has good details with the characters and I will be reading more of her books.

FIVE FUN FACTS

1. Dee Davis has been an anglophile for as long as she can remember. And has a particular soft spot for an English accent, especially when accompanied by dark hair and piercing blue eyes. Enter Cornish hero Owen Wakefield from MI-5.

2. Although Dee has never even seen a bomb, she’s always been fascinated with man’s propensity to blow himself up and admires those who work to stop it. Enter our heroine, munitions expert, Tyler Hanson.

3. Dee’s grandfather suffered from Alzheimer’s and watching his deterioration was both difficult and painful. That struggle is reflected in Tyler’s efforts to cope with her father’s battle with the debilitating disease.

4. Some of the world’s greatest art can be found in religious buildings around the world. Enter the fictional St. Anne’s Chapel in lower Manhattan and the equally fictional statue Divine Christ inside the church.

5. Computer expert Harrison Blake first sprang out of Dee’s mind in the first Last Chance book, Endgame, and now by popular demand, he’s back and working with A-Tac. For more information about the worlds created by Dee Davis, check out http://www.deedavis.com/

MY REVIEW

Madeline and Drake are the main characters and the story takes place in the Columbian Jungles.  Madeline is trying to destroy Ortiz Di Silva because he had a hand in her sisters death and they are out to kill Madeline bacause she knows too much. Drake has been sent to help her because she has information they need.  There is a lot of excitement and danger in every turn.  This story has a mix of danger and romance and I  really enjoyed reading this book.   Although I hadn't read the first book to the series I found that I had no problem reading and following this story even though it is the second in the A-Tac series.  I will be looking forward to the third book which will be out in Aug.

MY REVIEW OF "KNIGHT OF PASSION" BY MARGARET MALLORY

Knight of Passion

DESCRIPTION

HOW CAN THIS PASSIONATE KNIGHT...


Renowned beauty Lady Linnet is torn between two desires: revenge on those who destroyed her family or marriage to her childhood sweetheart Sir James Rayburn. One fateful night, she makes a misguided choice: she sacrifices Jamie's love for a chance at vengeance.

TRUST A BEAUTY WITH A PAST?

Jamie Rayburn returns to England in search of a virtuous wife-only to find the lovely Linnet as bewitching as ever. Their reckless affair ignites anew, even hotter than before, although Jamie vows to never again trust her with his heart. Then just as Linnet begins to make amends, she's tempted by one last opportunity to settle old scores. But a final retribution could cost her Jamie's love - this time forever. 

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS BOOK-

The two main characters are Jamie and Linnet.  They were together in Paris which didn't work out too well.  I really liked how they met again in London.  There is some excitement in the story line which I like.  Linnet is looking for the person that did her grandfather wrong when she was a child.  Her brother is always watching out for her because she is always getting herself in trouble one way or another.  She seems like she is a little wild and uncrontrolable at times. 

The book kept me wondering what Linnet was going to do next.  Linnet keeps Jamie on his toes all the time.  There's Witchcraft, potions and sorcerers in the story and I liked the paranormal aspects of it.  I would recommend this book.  I enjoyed it very much.

MY REVIEW

I thought this storyline was very good.  It kept me interested and was very hard to put the book down.  It was a book that made me want to just read more and more and I really just didn't want it to end.  It has excitement, desire, passion and suspence all in one and that makes for a great book. 

Marilee and Wyatt are the two main characters in this book and they make for a great couple.  They are strong willed and both have went to great lengths to make a life for themselves that they always wanted while growing up.

Wyatt's family is a family that everyone would want to have.  They are always there when they are needed and they care for each other very much. This book was very good and it is the second in a series.  You don't need to read them in order to understand and enjoy this book.  I am looking forward to R.C. Ryan's next book coming out in November of this yr. "Montana Glory". 

I received this book from Forver, Hachette Book Group & Anna through Book Blogs for free to do this review.  This review is my own opinion.
