All I can say is wow. Get ready for the ride of your life. This is a story about trust. This is a story about people who develop the ability to strike emotion from their lives in order to survive. This is a story about what happens when those in power misuse that power and devalue the inherit trust developed with those in their command. This is a story about what could happen when someone in power changes from ethical to criminal and the effect on those in the chain of command. Alexa Gavlin and Killian Moore have a lot in common. Both have been undercover operatives for government agencies, both have been compromised in the line of duty. One of them is running for their life and the other is the hunter. The story takes place in 28 days and the reader is living those 28 days along with the characters. Alexa Gavlin is a beautiful, brave, intelligent and resourceful agent whose job is to use her beauty to infiltrate the worlds of some of the most dangerous men, get information and then get out. But what happens when her target decides to use her as a weapon in his scheme. All the ensuing events seem to point the blame in her direction and her worse nightmare comes true -- the agency seems to have cut her loose. Translation -- she is on her own with only her resourcefulness to keep her alive. Killian Moore has been hired to find this rogue agent and retire her. Problem is Moore starts to realize that the assignment isn't what it was professed to be and now he is out to get to the truth. But even more difficult then solving the puzzle is gaining the trust of Alexa.

NAKED TRUTH, by Amy J. Fetzer, makes you wonder how any one, much less a woman, can work as an undercover government agent. The sequence of events keeps you on the edge of your seat as Fetzer makes the reader an eye witness to acts of cruelty and torture that would make a regular person run for their lives and yet those brave souls who are the government watch dogs are expected to overcome all obstacles and return to business as usual. Fetzer does an admiral job keeping her characters human and as such vulnerable and mortal. The relationship between Alexa and Killian develops with some interesting twists and turns and enough heat to make you fan yourself. While they are the central characters, Fetzer surrounds them with a diverse group you either despise or admire. Details surrounding the military and intelligence communities are rather amazing and oft times have you wondering where fiction leaves off and facts begin.

SUMMARY

Clandestine operative Alexa Gavlin has nothing left. No country. No contacts. And no memory. Thirty days have been chemically erased. Stolen by whom -- she knows. Why --that's anyone's guess. Accused of murder and treason, Alexa becomes the hunted, trapped by what she can't remember and betrayed by her own people. Struggling to refit the puzzle before someone catches her between the crosshairs, her new mission is to stay alive long enough to learn the truth. Till she meets the man behind the laser sight...

Killian Moore is a lot of things, former Marine, retrieval expert, and pissed off. Blackmailed into hunting down the operative suspected of ruining his career, Killian sees Alexa as nothing more than some sexy vital statistics and the means to clear his name. His mission is specific, bring her in or take her out -- until he locks horns with the beautiful agent and everything he believes and feels unravels with each encounter. He tells himself she's an expert at deception, yet what they share between the sheets is raw, tender, and very real. But she's on the run again, and Killian knows if he doesn't catch her, the enemy will.

Alexa has every reason to be wary, but Killian desperately needs her to believe in him. Cut off from their government, betrayed and hunted, they can rely on no one but each other. From the jungles of Colombia to the sparkling metropolis of Hong Kong , as each piece falls into place, Alexa and Killian learn that nothing is as it seems, and stopping terrorists set on a collision course will test their precious trust to the absolute limits.
