INTO THE FURY is the first book in Kat Martin's newest
series. As per usual with Martin, it involves Alpha
males, strong ladies who first appear soft, an edge-of-
your-seat suspense peppered with sexual interludes
between aforementioned dudes and ladies. If you've loved
Martin before, you'll love INTO THE FURY too. It ticks all
the
boxes you expect her to tick - and I say that with
respect. I'm not someone who thinks an author being
dependable is a bad thing.
The plot is interesting: a group of elite models - think
Victoria Secret goes on tour - has been getting
threatening notes and so the company hires our hero
(Ethan) to head up the additions to the security detail.
Our heroine (Val) is a stereotype breaker - a newbie to
modeling who is only there to pay for veterinary school.
She won a contest to be a participant in the show, and is
clearly still wrestling with the idea of putting her body
to work in this way.
Clearly, there are explosions and snipers and intrigue
and nasty notes and bad guys and all the other trappings
of a romantic suspense novel. People are in peril and the
stakes are high - but because it's a romance, you know
it's all going to be okay for Ethan and Val. And speaking
of Ethan and Val, I particularly love these folks. There
was minimal drama between the two of them; they seemed
comfortable with each other quickly, but not
inappropriately so. Instead, it was the way two adults
sometimes just click and can find safety in each other
while chaos rages all around. They certainly had some
hiccups as they learned each other, but nothing that made
me say to the book "oh for crying out loud, someone is
trying to kill you, this is not the time!" Martin
balances the personal conflicts and story arch with the
overall narrative well.
INTO THE FURY is recommended for any folks who like
romantic suspense (clearly), but also any folks who are
considering getting into to the genre. This is a good
example
of it, and with it being the first in a new series, an
excellent opportunity to get into a series at the ground
level. Also recommended for anyone who likes to read
about people taking control of their own lives, people
making their dreams come true and couples finding home in
each other.
A bodyguard, a bounty hunter, a P.I.--the men of Brodie
Operations Security Service, Inc. are down for the job. . .
Sinners, whores, and sluts beware--your time is at hand: a
faceless menace is threatening lingerie models on a cross
country tour, and Ethan Brodie is there to defend and protect.
Ethan's learned the hard way that beauty is no substitute
for character. So even though Valentine Hart is one of the
most breathtaking women he's ever seen, he's keeping his
hands off and his eyes open. Or that's what he tells himself.
Then one of the models is murdered, and the closer Ethan
gets to the answers, the closer he finds himself to
Valentine--and the hotter the pressure feels. There's more
to Val--more to the other girls--than he could have guessed.
But one is keeping a secret that could kill them all.
