Book Description

Series: The Nassd Counter-Terrorist Agency | Publication Date: July 8, 2008

[Contemporary Romantic Adventure] When a NASSD double agent steals the technology for a deadly virus, counter-terrorist agent Dan Weber is more than ready to take on the complex and potentially deadly mission to hunt down the technology he once protected with his life, even if it means babysitting a gorgeous, yet reckless tomboy agent. Rookie JT Turner is hungry to prove her worth in a profession dominated by men. Even though she can hold her own against a dozen trained agents, she's been labeled a screw up after too many mishaps. JT would do anything to redeem herself, even accept a shady mission to track down a phantom disc NASSD denies ever existed. Undermanned and unarmed, can they unravel a madman's plot and remove the threat before it is unleashed? In a race against time, the line between desire and destiny will blur, and their true desires will finally be met.

Editorial Reviews

Review

4.5 Pixies: "At Any Cost is a wonderfully convoluted tale of betrayal, terrorism, action, adventure, and redemption and yet Ms. Adams still is able to work in some romance. Everything you could possible want in an action/adventure is here--you have weapons, hand-to-hand combat, good guys, bad guys, a madman and a deadly virus--what more could you ask for! Ms. Adams has created a very detailed counter-terrorist agency and has peopled it with both good and bad agents and you really can't figure things out until almost the very end. I kept trying to figure out the good from the bad and was proven wrong in a number of instances, which I thought was fun! The plot is strong and very fast paced and I found myself anxious to get back to the story to find out what was happening next. I loved JT--here is this multi-talented young woman that is the perfect agent--and yet she always manages somehow to get hurt while working a case. Dan is a perfect foil for her--ultra confident, ultra capable, and he still finds himself riding her reckless train of disasters! The relationship between the two of them is fun, sexy and full of misunderstandings. I thought the sex scenes were relatively mild although graphic and sensual, but they make a nice counterpoint to all the adventure going on around them. I really enjoyed At Any Cost and would be excited to read more stories about the NASSD Agency!" --Sandi Potterton, Dark Angel Reviews

4 Stars: "Action-packed... The action is nonstop in At Any Cost. JT and Dan are the heroes in this great adventure to save the world. Allie K. Adams presents an interesting and plausible plot that will capture the reader's attention and take them on a whirlwind trip into the dangerous world of counter intelligence. If you like spies and romance, this book is for you." --Anne Boling, Review Your Book

JT Turner (don't call her Jessica) is determined to fulfill her dreams to become a full NASSD agent, like her uncle. The problem is that while she was pulled out of training early and sent on missions/tasks she seems to botch them all up with one clumsy act or another. She now knows that if she doesn't complete this secret mission to retrieve LEON than she will have to let her dreams go. Now it seems that the secret mission that she thought would save her career might cost her not only her career but her life. Is it really HQ she is working for or has someone duped her? When she is saved by her idol "super agent" Dan Weber she finds herself attracted to him in ways others have not made her feel. But whose side is he on?

Dan can't believe this beauty is on the wrong side of the law. But he will do just about anything to retrieve LEON, as it was supposed to have been destroyed in the move that had cost him his career, or at least he thought. Now NASSD wasn't him back to bring the disk in and stop JT at any cost. But will he find that cost too high? More importantly will he and JT connect and work together to solve this "who done it" and come out the other side as a couple or apart?

At Any Cost is an action packed `who done it' with a strong romantic attraction between two very headstrong characters. I was pulled in from the beginning of the story and it kept me engaged with witty dialog as well as an interesting spy/terrorism plotline. I also loved how JT keeps getting into situations due to her seemingly physical clumsiness. I also found the multiple layers of subterfuge with agents, and double agents to be intriguing. Throw in the super spicy love scenes between JT and Dan and you have another winner from Ms. Adams.
