BLAMED has characters that you can't help but love. Beth's
family runs a company that helps secure the world for
America and as Beth says bleeds red, white and blue. It's
an exciting bunch of people who work together in wonderful
ways. Beth and Vick have the most twisted romantic story
that steals it your heart.
BLAMED is the first in the
series by Edie Harris and it looks there are more to come.
I just hope the author isn't doing what I think she's
doing
with Beth's brother, without giving up a possible spoiler
for the next book let me just say he should shoot her.
Born into a long line of spies, sanctioned killers and
covert weapons developers, Beth Faraday carried out her
first hit-for-hire when she was still a teenager.
That part of her life—the American spy royalty part—ended
one year ago, with a job gone wrong in Afghanistan. The
collateral damage she caused with a single shot was
unfathomable and, for Beth, unforgivable. She's worked
hard
to build a new life for herself, far away from the family
business.
But someone, somewhere, hasn't forgotten what Beth did in
Kabul. And they want revenge.
As the Faraday clan bands together to defend Beth and
protect their legacy, Beth is forced to flee her new home
with the unlikeliest of allies-MI6 agent Raleigh Vick, the
only man she's ever loved. And the one she thought she'd
killed in the desert.
