Lindsay McKenna brings us installment number two of her
Delos series with TANGLED PURSUIT. She introduces
Captain Talia Culver, who is to become the CEO of Artemis
Security. Tal is the daughter of General Robert and
Dilara Culver, who own charities all over the world. After
two school teachers were brutally murdered at their Home
School charity in Costa Rica (Book 1, NOWHERE TO HIDE),
the Culvers decide to implement their own security
company.
Tal is currently finishing her deployment in Afghanistan
where she plans missions and is an expert sniper. Three
years ago she lost the love of her life to an Al Qaida
terrorist and she wants to take this high-valued target
down as her last duty. During the past three years Chief
Navy SEAL Wyatt Lockwood has been pursuing Tal for a
relationship. Tal has given him the cold shoulder every
time. But when Wyatt shows Tal a softer side of himself
during an encounter on base one evening, Tal begins to
think that something could come of a relationship.
Perhaps it's time to stop grieving and start living
again.
Tal and her spotter leave for their mission to take down
Sidiq, the terrorist who has eluded her since he killed
her fiancé. Her opportunity comes, but
things go terribly wrong with the mission. Wyatt and his
SEAL team are called in to assist, but when the weather
turns on them, the entire mission is compromised.
Ms. McKenna is a master at laying background for both her
story and character relationships. She does an excellent
job describing the Culver family, their multicultural
ethnicity, and their priorities. Her characters are
strong, realistic and believable. The storyline and plot
are intricately woven throughout the pages to give us a
dynamic thriller, combined with a tender love story.
TANGLED PURSUIT is fast-paced and action-packed with some
steamy sex thrown in the mix. Ms. McKenna does such an
excellent job of helping her readers to understand the
complexity of the story and relationships of its
characters that any of her novels can be read as a stand-
alone. But this series proves to be so dynamic you do not
want to miss a single one.
Navy SEAL Chief Wyatt Lockwood is fascinated by Marine
sniper Captain Talia Culver. But she wants nothing to do
with him after learning of his reputation as a heartbreaker.
The cocky Texan refuses to take the hint and keeps placing
himself in Tal’s path. When she agrees to help him tend to
needy families in an Afghan village, she learns there’s more
to this SEAL than meets the eye. But is she strong enough to
risk having her heart broken again?
Wyatt can’t stay away from the beautiful, surly Marine. Tal
is fascinating—and frustrating—and he is determined to crack
through her tough exterior and get to know the soft woman he
knows lurks beneath the surface. When he joins Tal on a
sniper mission in the Afghan mountains, their bond continues
to grow. But the mission takes a dangerous turn. Has he lost
his chance with Tal forever?
