Fresh Fiction Review

Into the Dark

Romance Suspense

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.

SUMMARY

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.
