SHE MAY BE HIS WORST ENEMY…
For deadly secret agent Peter Macmillan, language is a weapon—one he uses to hunt criminals, destroy plots, and charm enemies. Seducing information out of a beautiful singer in Bangkok hotel should be easy…except this particular singer has the power to destroy his cool façade, and with it, his last defense against a dark past.

HE MAY BE HER ONLY HOPE…
He tricked her. He helped himself to her body and her secrets. He has enemies everywhere. Laney Lancaster should hate Peter, but when she discovers him shirtless, sweaty, and chained up in the hotel’s dungeon, all she can think about is freeing him. Because she knows what it’s like to be trapped and alone. And she could use a dangerous friend.

They may be wrong for each other, but the instant they join forces, Laney and Peter are plunged into an odyssey of hot sex and dark danger. To survive, they must trust each other with their lives—and their hearts.

My Review:

The second book of The Associates series is an action packed romance that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.

Secret agent Peter Macmillan uses language as a weapon, he uses it to hunt criminals, destroy plots, and charm enemies. Seducing one beautiful singer should be easy, but she has the power to destroy his cool façade. On the run from her cruel husband, Laney Lancaster has been hiding in Bangkok at a friend’s hotel, but when she discovers that those she thought were friends really work for her husband, the only person who can help her is the man who tricked her. Together they are forced into a world of hot sex and dark danger and to survive they must trust each other with their lives.

This fast paced plot takes the reader on a thrill ride through Bangkok with lots of suspense, betrayal, action, romance and steamy sex.  The author brings the story to life with vivid descriptions and intense details that give the reader clear pictures of every scene making it seem as if they are part of the story.  The strong and compelling characters are easily related to and believable as are the action scenes.

The attraction between Laney and Peter radiates heat from every page and the sex scenes sizzle with red hot passion.  The author conveys the emotions, passion and personalities of all the characters with an intensity that has the reader feeling as if they know the characters personally.

The author has created a thrilling world that captures the imagination and thoroughly engages the emotions. The Associates are the good guys, but are ruthless which has the reader dealing with conflicting emotions, I didn’t know whether to cheer them on or hate them almost as much as the bad guy.  I haven’t read the first book yet, but I will be remedying that and I am looking forward to reading more about this stimulating world.

About the Author:

(Off the author’s site)

I write romantic suspense, urban fantasy, and some books that don’t have any genre at all. I’ve been published by Random House, Samhain, and self published, too. I guess I get around!

I live in Minnesota (complete with an accent that people sometimes laugh at) in an old 1920′s condo with my awesome writer husband and two cats. I love to run and also to read, even though I’m probably the slowest reader ever. And I love to eat chocolate and Mexican food, and if you invite me to your party, your cheese plate will be in even more danger than one of my suspense heroines.

Also, I use too many exclamation marks, I care deeply about animals and finding ways to help them, I work a day job as a freelance marketing writer, and I dream that someday I’ll having the time to do all the crafts in the many craft newsletters I subscribe to. But I guess I’m having too much fun throwing my favorite characters into dangerous and sometimes steamy adventures.
