4.0 out of 5 stars
An A-tac novel, July 28, 2010
This review is from: Dangerous Desires (Mass Market Paperback)
A-Tac is a secret part of the CIA operating out of a New York college. Their current mission takes them to Colombia, where they will go head-to-head against Jorge de Silva's drug cartel. Di Silva's number two man, Hector Ortiz, shifted the cartel's focus over the last few years. The cartel now deals in weapons, as well as drugs. A-Tac is charged with extracting Madeline Reynard from Ortiz's clutches. Once retrieved, Madeline would lead them to Ortiz's hidden arms cache. After documenting the site and blowing it up, A-Tac would deliver Madeline to U.S. officials. Drake Flynn finds himself separated from the rest of the team and stranded in the Colombian jungle after the mission goes sour. Drake and Madeline must make their way through the hostile environment while evading the mercenaries hot on their trail. Drake has been burned one too many times by a secretive woman. So no matter how high the flames of passion burn between him and Madeline, Drake refuses to fully trust her. **** FOUR STARS! Subtle sub-plots spring up as this suspenseful tale runs its course. Every time I believed that I understood it all, the author would toss in a twist and I found myself totally caught off guard. Exciting, fast paced, and some steamy romance make this story a winner. **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Thrilling and lovely mission in the jungle, July 10, 2010
This review is from: Dangerous Desires (Mass Market Paperback)
After years of being forced to work for a dangerous crime lord Madeline Reynard finally sees the chance to escape. In exchange for information US officials agree to free her and give her a new life. The A-Tac team, an elite, secret CIA unit, is ordered to rescue Madeline and destroy an arsenal of weapons. But soon after the mission starts it becomes clear that someone betrayed the team and to survive A-Tac team member Drake and Madeline are forced to fight their way through the jungle. On the run from the crime lords men Drake and Madeline are forced to work together and soon they develop feelings for each other. But to have a real chance for a HEA they have to survive the attempts on their lifes and they have to overcome the trust issues that stand between them. "Dangerous Desires" is the second book about the A-Tac team and after reading it I'm completly fascinated by this romantic suspense series. I enjoyed "Dark Deceptions", the first book, however I loved "Dangerous Desires". The story is fast-paced, the main characters are both compelling and I just love reading about secret missions that play in the jungle. Madeline and Drake both went through hard times that made them sceptical about trusting in other people. Her connection to the crime lord makes Drake even more wary however he soon realizes that Madeline is a strong woman who tried to do the best in a hopeless situation. I enjoyed that he doesn't condemn her and that he appreciates what she did for her sister. I'm happy that Madeline is a fighter and stayed strong even in dangerous situations. She's no pushover and learned the hard way to trust nobody. Their escape through the jungle was thrilling to read and I enjoyed meeting the other A-Tac members like Tyler and Hannah again. The possibility that one A-Tac member might be a traitor adds some suspense to the story and so far I have no idea who the bad guy could be. There's also a big suprise in the story and I didn't see it coming but enjoyed reading about it. All in all "Dangerous Desires" combines everything that I enjoy about romantic suspense. The book is thrilling but also lovely and sexy. I also like that the plot is intelligent and that no institution or country is glorified.

Awesome, March 8, 2011
This review is from: Dangerous Desires (Mass Market Paperback)
Loved this book! It's a keeper and one I re-read often. This is my favorite book of the series so far. The hero Drake is a black ops CIA operative and has to rescue the heroine Madeline from a drug lord compound in South America. This is one of my favorite situations in a romantic/suspense book. I love it when h/H have to rely on each for survival, especially when fighting their way through a jungle while dodging bullets at the same time. This H also HATES that he wants her (won't spoil the story but he's got the wrong impression of her and he thinks most women like her he'd be a fool to trust). She surprises him time and again. Mr. Gruff Macho Man gets wrapped right around her finger. Since most reviewers have already done a great job explaining plot, I just want to write what this book is to me. It's exciting, fast-paced, and well-written with enough romance to it. If you decide to read this book, please just imagine Drake, the big strong commando, pushing you every step of the way, as he secretly craves and desires your body. You're sleeping alone in the jungle together, and he's the alpha male making the descions that protect you and keep you alive. HOT! :) And you, as the h, are totally tough and street smart and kicka** too. This is an awesome read with two great characters who have such electric chemistry and sexual tension. You won't be disappointed with it. The series in order- Dark DeceptionsDangerous DesiresDesperate DeedsDeep Disclosure
