This one is really hard to review. I’m not the hugest fan of Eason or Blackburns, but I really love Walter’s work. So I’m going to review them individually.
In On the Run, IT Specialist Daria Nevsky is a highly skilled FBI agent with the ability to hack any computer. She must go on the run to find out who wants her dead—and Dr. Ryker Donahue refuses to let her do it alone.
The plot was definitely interesting, but a little rushed to be finished in a novella. I didn’t particularly love the characters either. Daria was annoying to me personally. I didn’t mind Ryker.
In Deadly Objective, physical therapist Emily Dixon and Secret Service Agent Liam Harper are committed to keeping their relationship professional. But when the vice president’s son enters the crosshairs of a killer, some lines will have to be crossed in order to keep him safe.
This one was much better. I liked the spoiled kid, I really liked Liam, and I didn’t mind Emily all that much. The plot was interesting, even if it did feel a little too elongated. (I feel like it would be better if we were thrown into the action and then explained what was happening, rather than everything happens and then we get background and closure)
In Caught in the Crosshairs, there is no love lost between former Army PSYOPS officer Ari Blackman and CIA officer Claudia Gallegos after Claudia is implicated in the murder of a Saudi prince. But to prevent a coup that would put America at risk, they’ll have to learn to trust each other—before it’s too late.
Ah Natalie… thank you. I loved the Harbored Secrets trilogy to death, and this little novella did not disappoint. Claudia, check. Ari, also check. Their physical attraction was almost nauseating if I wasn’t stuck laughing every other paragraph. Honestly a piece of art. I’m not sure how Ms. Walters did it, but she did. And I’m glad. Without her I would not have enjoyed this book nearly enough. But this part made up for the difficulties of them all and I quite enjoyed it. It did seem a liiittle rushed, but that’s not something that can be helped with a novella limit, and I think Ms. Walters handled it tastefully.
Anyway. All in all four stars. Thank you to Revell for a free copy of this book. A positive review was not required and all opinions are my own. 😀 toodloo
