INTO THE DARK is the sixth and final installment in Cindy
Gerard's Bodyguard series. It the story of Dallas
Garrett, former Marine and partner in the family security
business, E.D.E.N. This chapter of the Garrett family
saga picks up where the previous story left off. After
saving Amy Walker from captivity in Jolo, Dallas has
returned to West Palm where he fights his own demons,
stemming from military action in the Middle East. He
feels unworthy to be alive, much less to love. Especially
to love Amy.
Amy, armed with disturbing and dangerous information about
her heritage, is looking for revenge. She knows who was
behind her abduction to the Phillipines—and the many
atrocities she survived—and wants to get even. When she
realizes her life is still in danger, she runs to the one
person she trusts to help her. Dallas, even if she last
saw him months ago, right before she disappeared out of
his life.
Together they race against time to get the masterminds
before they get her. Along the way, Dallas must decide
whether he trusts himself to be with Amy and to love her
as she deserves—and wants.
The staccato pace of this story never lets up. Relentless
action keeps the story moving, the tension building, and
the reader riveted. Ms. Gerard strikes a nice balance
between the romance and the suspense. Neither story
disappoints.
For those readers, like myself, who missed the first five
books, don't fret. Ms. Gerard fills in the reader without
slowing the pace. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
Amy Walker endured unspeakable horrors while being held as a
hostage before she was rescued by Dallas Garrett and his
brothers from E.D.E.N., Inc. Amy is determined to leave the
past behind... but only after she gets some answers to the
questions that haunt her: Why was she abducted by the
terrorists? Why is her mother locked up in a mental
institution?
Dallas wants Amy to know he’s a man she
can trust. He’s incapable of offering her his love but
promises his sworn protection while she embarks on her quest
to discover the truth about her family... and herself.
Working on a lead, Amy and Dallas team up with an
investigative journalist and an unlikely accomplice whose
motives are as murky as his past. Soon they are drawn into
the depths of a secret organization that practices
non-consensual mind-control experimentation—-one that Amy’s
own grandfather appears to be involved in. With a ruthless
enemy closing in fast Amy and Dallas race against time and
risk their lives to expose these crimes against humanity...
and share a passion neither of them could have expected.
