CUTTING LOOSE
Tara Janzen

Reviewed by Kay Quintin
Posted December 15, 2007

Romance Suspense

A wild, fast chase from Albuquerque to Denver has cool, sexy Zachary Prade, a/k/a Alejandro Campos, wondering how he ever got involved escorting raven-haired beauty Lily Robbins to safety. Zack, a member of the Special Ops (SDF), and schoolteacher Lilly are thrown together when an encrypted key containing a code worth millions is embedded in a bracelet given to Lilly. Zack's mission is to retrieve the key, since it has the potential to reshape foreign policy in half a dozen countries, and they are all after him. Lilly is innocent of the content and value of the bracelet.

Lilly and Zack dodge bullets and leave dead bodies in their wake in their effort to reach Steele Street in Denver with the article in hand and still alive. Being chased with high tech computer equipment, they travel in Zack's favorite Shelby Cobra Mustang, Charlotte, which has super power and computer communications connected to his base at Steele Street.

The plot climaxes at Steele Street with a gun ready to blow Lilly's head off. Since Lilly and Zack have been unable to avoid sensuous, hot, hot sex in their race to Denver, Zack will do everything in his power to save Lilly. But can he manage to squirm out of this situation with Lilly's life and his in tact?

Tara Janzen has again written a great spin-off of her Crazy series with super-high entertainment and wild action. This book is impossible to put down until the last single word has been read. Janzen holds your interest and provides total excitement to the very end. I highly recommend this novel and anxiously await the next installment featuring her superb characters.

SUMMARY

She's the unsuspecting beauty with something everybody wants.
He's the secret agent in so deep nobody can find him.
Until now...
CIA operative Zachary Prade made his name taking out world threats. But now heโ€™s tracking a very different kind of danger and her name is Lily Robbins. Lily holds the key to a valuable encoded file thatโ€™s about to fall into the wrong hands. All Zach has to do is retrieve the key and forget the rain-soaked beauty who came to his Central American plantation seeking shelter from more than the weather. Lily knows him as Alejandro Campos, the seductive drug lord who saved her life. They met when she traveled to El Salvador to film a documentaryโ€ฆand got caught in the middle of a nasty drug-and-guerrilla war. Now, back in the U.S., hunted by spooks and assassins, Lily has to trust Campos again. Except his name isnโ€™t Campos, and heโ€™s arousing a passion so hot itโ€™s criminal. That is, if they can survive long enough to enjoy itโ€ฆ
