Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Gerard follows October's Show No Mercy with another fast-paced tale of romance amid flying bullets. After wily smuggler Fredrick Nader kills investigator Sam Lang's sister, Sam swears to quit Black Ops Inc. Then he learns that Vegas blackjack dealer Abbie Hughes could lead him to Nader's hideaway in Honduras. Sam's plan to seduce information out of Abbie backfires: they fall in love, while Nader kidnaps Abbie's brother, Cory. She heads south with the Black Ops boys, determined to rescue Cory and deal with Nader once and for all. Readers will especially love Abbie: skeptical of Sam after their first disastrous interaction, insistent on participating in the mission, horrified by the criminal world of blood and violence, utterly devoted once she opens her heart. Gerard's polished prose and zippy plotting will continue to satisfy her many fans. (Nov.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent romantic suspense, October 28, 2008

By	Laurie (OH - USA) - See all my reviews

Sam Lang, ex-Delta Force sniper, is on a mission to find the man responsible for the death of his sister and her husband. When Cory Hughes's name repeatedly comes up as a mole for the deadly Frederick Nader, Sam goes after Cory's sister, Abbie, for information. Sam and Abbie hit it off immediately, making it that much more painful for Abbie to know that she has been used by Sam for information. Abbie claims to know nothing about Cory's involvement with Nader, but admits that she is extremely concerned for him. It doesn't take long for Sam to realize that Abbie is much stronger than she looks and when she insists on being part of the search for Cory in Honduras, the danger level rises significantly.
Abbie should have known from the get-go that Sam Lang was too good to be true. Good looks, subtle charm and gentle hands - how could she resist? When she discovers that his interest in her was feigned in the search for her brother, she is crushed. That is, until she got mad. When she joins forces with Sam in the search for Cory, she's introduced to a way of life that she never even knew existed, and has no choice but to put her life in Sam's capable hands.
The quality of romantic suspense by Cindy Gerard can be matched by few. Abbie and Sam are both damaged and so desperately in need of each other's love. The suspense is intense, as is the romance. Sam is out for vengeance, but doesn't let it blind him against how perfect a future with Abbie could be. I highly recommend this book to all who love the excitement and intrigue of well-written romantic suspense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy!!, November 30, 2008

By	Elizabeth Blalock "bookworm" (Colonial Heights, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wow!! Take charge, built men with a soft spot for the one woman in their life. Lots of action, both military like and bedroom like. The women are strong and opinionated but love their men!! If you like Lora Leigh's seal books, this one is right up your alley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!, January 11, 2009

By	LH (NMB, FL) - See all my reviews

The first book I read by this author was Show No Mercy, and while I certainly enjoyed it, I cant say that I was sold on Gerard at that point. I can say after this book that I am definitely sold on her! And shockingly surprised at what a great book she wrote start to finish. Both main characters were likeable and well sussed out. But the best part was that so was there relationship. You could see why they liked eachother and how it wasnt only physical. She didnt overly drag out the conflict between them which I felt was the case in Show No Mercy, and that can get a little old fast! Both characters were ready and willing to admit there errors and move on which I liked a lot. I am looking forward to reading more books by Gerard and to the next in this series, whoever it is about.
