Falcon Securities Agent Brody Hawke is in a bind, his best friend A.J. has been captured and nothing in the diplomatic world is moving fast enough. He plans to step in even if it means the end of his career. No way is he letting A.J. be tortured in the hacienda in the Mexican jungle, not without a fight. The plan he comes up with may force him to never come OUT OF THE SHADOWS again. It is simple, he will kidnap someone this particular bad guy wants, turn her over then rescue both her and A.J. and hope all is forgiven in the end.

C.I.A. Agent Kate Stone doesn't go without a fight but once she realizes that the situation is deeper than even the rescue of the agent, she's ready for action. Her life was in chaos before the kidnapping after a failed mission in Iraq, but now it couldn't get worse. Could it? Oh yes... she finds herself attracted to her kidnapper, willing to help rescue his buddy A.J. and figure out how to protect both the President of the U.S. and President of Mexico. No problem.

OUT OF THE SHADOWS starts out on the run and just keeps going at that same tempo to the very end. The depth of the action is unbelievable, so realistic it is almost scary. I was unable to put it down until I got the last page and then I wanted more. You feel like you are part of the conflict and danger that these people find themselves in. The secrets and emotions of Brody and Kate come out in the midst of everything they are involved in and give you bits of background as you read. I loved watching them fall in love, almost in spite of themselves. This is the second of the Falcon Series by author Geri Foster and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one.
