Falcon Securities is an agency that works exclusively for
the President of the United States and the Department of
Defense. Agent John "Mac" McKinsey is in Russia when a
mission goes sour and all he wants is to get out of there
safely. He certainly isn't thrilled when his boss Frank
Hamilton tells him the evacuation plan. He has a strange
feeling he is never going to be OUT OF THE DARK again.
Emily Richards is their attorney who just happens to be in
Russia as a mediator and all she wants is to be done with
this job and go on a long needed vacation with her best
friend. But when Mac breaks into her hotel room and their
boss tells her that Mac just needs a ride. She doesn't have
to like it; in fact she doesn't at all. He's just too good
looking and too tempting. She isn't interested in getting
involved with anyone right now.
But when two armed men break into the hotel room that they
are waiting in they have no choice but to shoot and run.
Emily is furious that her orderly life is in such turmoil
and Mac doesn't want another woman's life on his hands.
They have to depend on each other as things just keep
getting more and more complicated. It seems the bad guys
are not only after Mac but also after Emily herself.
OUT OF THE DARK is a thrilling, deeply emotional, highly
romantic, suspense filled novel. Emily and Mac make an
interesting couple who at first try very hard not to like
each other despite the growing attraction. The bickering
continues in spurts even after the truth of their situation
comes to light and of course when they do finally give in
to the attraction it is explosive. The background
information for both of them is given to the reader in
spurts until you understand them better. I personally
cheered when Emily's best friend got into the action in her
friend's defense. Author Geri Foster has the start of a
fascinating series that I hope goes on for a long time.
After a Russian mission goes south, Falcon Securities agent
John 'Mac' McKinsey is stranded with assassins on his trail.
His boss arranges for him to hitch a ride with the corporate
attorney Emily Richards, who is in Russia as a mediator.
Emily Richards wants only to return home then on to a
peaceful vacation with her best friend. When armed men
invade her hotel room minutes after Mac arrives, Emily is
forced to depend on Mac to stay alive. Anger that Mac has
entangled her in a life or death struggle quickly turns to
fear when the men pursuing them call her by name.
Together Mac and Emily engage in a tumultuous ride to escape
with their lives and capture a crazed bomber and a
vindictive drug lord. More difficult is tearing down their
own emotional walls. Can they succeed and admit love is the
most precious thing in life?
This is a terrific romantic suspense with plenty of action and adventure thrown in. A great start to the Falcon Securities series. I agree with the reviewer--I hope this series continues for a long time. (Carolyn Smith 6:48pm June 20, 2013)
