Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 2008

Some forces are too primal to contain. Some attractions too hazardous to acknowledge. When archaeologist Keira Jessop and her grandfather are accused of stealing an artifact with paranormal powers, the Special Investigations Agency demands she trek into a remote rainforest to locate the strange object. Blackmail doesn't sit well with her, but with her grandfather's reputation at stake, she has no choice. When she learns cocky, handsome special agent Zane Spinella will be her protector on this perilous assignment, she can't help but be wary of him even if he is heart-stopping sexy and once saved her life. Zane doesn't trust easily, least of all a woman who may be a criminal and makes his most primitive cravings boil. Try as he might to keep his hands, and other body parts off of her, the draw of passion is too strong. Keira has never encountered a more enticing or maddening male in her life. As they encounter a mysterious people and battle a twisted enemy who also wants the artifact for his own, they will discover sexual ecstasy and dark secrets are not the only dangers hidden in the dark and dangerous jungle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Primordial Special Investigations Agency, March 1, 2006

By 

Catherine Smith "Cath" (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Primordial (Paperback)

This book was a good read and the story line was relatiively believable. It was interestingly set in 3 locations. The description of some of the scenes were very explosive and had me reaching for my husband!! I liked the strong independent woman who was game for anything to save her granfather, I felt the lead male role was slightly over matcho, but could imagine they are out there.

I may try another of Ms Agnews books, just to see if I like her continued style, this was my first book by her and I felt I have read better.
Truth be told I would still read it, so give it a go as there are great scenes, maybe just not enough!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Primordial: Special Investigations Agency Series, June 7, 2005

By

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Primordial (Paperback)

When Dr. Keira Jessop is rescued from a drive by shooting by Zane Spinella she never expected to find out that he had only been in the right place to save her because he had been spying on her for the Special Investigations Agency (SIA). The SIA believe that Keira's grandfather and possibly even Keira herself have been dealing in stolen artifacts. In order to clear her grandfather and herself from these accusations Keira is now forced to travel to Puerto Azul to locate a very special statue which is said to have great power when both pieces are fitted together. Even worse she's forced to work with Zane. Zane had desired Keira from the moment he first saw her but he doesn't trust easily and the fact that Keira is suspected of illegal dealings makes it doubly hard for him. But that doesn't stop the passion from boiling over between them. Now, Zane has to protect Keira while deciding if he can trust her or not.

Ms. Agnew has given us another wonderful addition to her Special Investigations Series. Zane is a true alpha male with a soft side and Kiera is no push over. Packed with passion and adventure Primordial is one book that readers will want to add to their collections.
