A good agent never lets the job become personal...

Who wanted her dead? That's what Claire Samson wanted to know. On the run and alone, there was only one man she trusted to find her. Recovery agent Luke Hathaway was the best at locating and saving, and she needed the best if she wanted to live. But the handsome agent who promised salvation had some conditions of his own. If he were to help, she needed to stick close by his side. Very close. And the only thing more dangerous than her current situation was the way Luke made her feel. From the protective look in his green eyes, she could tell he felt the same. But every second that brought them closer together was also ticking toward an explosive confrontation that might tear them apart....

More About the Author

By day I'm a divorce lawyer specializing in unhappy endings. One day, during a particularly difficult string of cases, a former co-worker handed me a romance novel with the promise of a much-needed escape and a happy ending. I've been reading - and now writing - romance ever since.

My first release, the novella HARDHATS AND SILK STOCKINGS in the Kensington Brava anthology WHEN GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD BOYS with Lori Foster and Erin McCarthy, was an Amazon, B&N and Borders bestseller. My first single author anthology, VIVA LAS BAD BOYS!, earned rave reviews and was a bestseller on Amazon and at B&N. Both books are available on Amazon and at other bookselling outlets.

My first single title, YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY, is a July 2007 Kensington Brava release. Check back here for more details. You also can visit me at www.helenkaydimon.com for updated information and some chit chat on my blog.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read., March 16, 2010

This review is from: Under the Gun (Harlequin Intrigue) (Mass Market Paperback)

Under The Gun by HelenKay Dimon is a thrilling debut in the Intrigue Line.

Claire Samson is running for her life. She is being framed for the death of her ex-husband. Claire turns to the man she let get away Luke Hathaway. Claire Knew there was more to Luke then the story he gave her of selling art. She sets herself directly in Luke's path hoping he can help her.

Agent Luke Hathaway was on assignment when Claire literally drops into his life. Luke never got over Claire dumping him for another man. But one look in her eyes and he knows he must help her clear her name. Soon whatever is after Claire has added Luke to their list.

As Claire and Luke work together to find out who is trying to kill her their former passion ignites. Can these two former lovers solve the mystery and make their relationship work?

Under The Gun is a fast paced thriller. HelenKay Dimon delivers a book that will keep you involved from page one. I am looking forward to more books from the Harlequin line from this author..

This review is from: Under the Gun (Harlequin Intrigue) (Mass Market Paperback)

HelenKay Dimon delivers alot of action in the 214 pages of her new Hariquin Intrigue Under the Gun.

Clair Samson is on the run and in serious trouble. She's been set-up to take the fall for murdering her estranged husband Phil (who it turns out really isn't dead after all) and now someone is trying to kill her. Claire turns to the one man she believes can help her prove her innocence and keep her alive at the same time.

Luke Hathaway hunts people for a living, both those who don't want to be found and those that are praying to be rescued; he's an expert at recovering people.

Her look may be different, but the minute Luke spies the familiar face in the computer monitor staring back at him, he recognizes it as none other than his former fiancée Clare Samson; the woman who jilted him just before their wedding two years earlier.

Aided by fellow agents Holden and Adam, Luke and Claire are going to have to set aside their differences and unresolved feelings for one another if they are going to solve the mystery of who set Clair up and the reasons why.

I loved the interaction between Luke, Holden and Adam. It was fun, quick-witted and full of sarcastic banter (I can only assume Holden and Adam get their own stories in the future and I certainly hope so!). Claire is no push-over either and she can certainly hold her own against the men. There was lots of fun dialogue between all the parties.

I know the author doesn't have a lot of time for a back-story in these category romances, but in this case, I wish there had been more time to provide insight into why Claire left Luke and how she hooked up and married Phil so quickly after her breakup.

Under the Gun has it all; betrayal, deception, embezzlement, gunfights and even a daring escape from a burning building. The action is fast and furious once it starts on the second page and doesn't let up until the end!

I really enjoy HelenKay Dimon's writing and I hope you will to.
