It's an explosive and passionate ride from start to finish
in Cindy Gerard's
latest installment to the One-Eyed Jacks series.
Well-suited as a
standalone,
TAKING FIRE quickly became a top favorite of mine. With its
multifaceted
characters and tense storyline, Gerard expertly manipulates
the emotions of
her characters and readers to deliver a wild ride that will
sure to leave an
impression.
TAKING FIRE is based all on betrayal. When our heroine,
Talia, betrays a man
she has fallen in love with for the sake of her
organization, it puts Bobby
Taggart in a tough situation. Not only did he nearly lose
his life, but in the
incident, he also loses the love of his life. The betrayal
has cut deep and
lingers even years after the event. Although I knew right
from the beginning a
betrayal was going to occur, that didn't stop me from
liking Talia. With
expertise, Gerard weaves together a believable romance
between Talia and
Bobby. In the short time it takes to set up the story,
Gerard is able to pack
more passion into the first few pages of the book than some
other books are
able to do at all.
I felt all the emotions in TAKING FIRE, from love to lust
and to fear and anger.
Gerard covers all the bases with this one. So in addition
to the heart-stopping
action and suspense of this novel, you get an emotional
journey as
well. This perfect balance is what makes Cindy Gerard the
queen of
Romantic Suspense. No one else does it like her. So do
yourself a favor and
pick up this book, I guarantee you, you won't be able to
put it down. TAKING
FIRE is guaranteed to take your breath away.
Six years ago, tough-as-nails military contractor Bobby
Taggart met the woman of his dreams in war-torn Kabul—a
sexy, whip-smart war correspondent who approached him at a
local bar, took him to bed, made him fall in love…and then
mysteriously disappeared. In her wake, the terrorist leader
he’d been mining for valuable intel was assassinated—then
Bobby discovered his phone had been bugged. And he’s pretty
damn sure he’s been played for a fool.
Now, a covert security mission for the U.S. Embassy in Oman
unexpectedly reunites him with Talia Levine, the woman who
betrayed him and broke his heart. And there’s one more
secret she hasn’t told him—one that will change his world.
But as the heat of anger mixes with a still-simmering
passion, dangerous forces close in, their sights set on
Talia. Trust is the only way they will survive—but with
their lives in the balance, can Bobby risk trusting her again?
