Maria Lucano didn't want to be a vigilante, but when she lost her sister to a vicious crime family and then her husband to an assassin, she vowed that no innocent would ever suffer as she has. Seven years later she is close to her goal and has tracked down the final link to the sniper who murdered her beloved husband in cold blood, a dangerously sexy man code-named Ghost.
When a traitor cost the Black Fire team the lives of four good men, Greg Lassiter reluctantly agreed to put his gift for Intel to work and to take over the unit. His primary job is to hunt and eliminate further threats. The beautiful Maria is definitely a threat; she knows too much, has too many secrets, and instantly wakens his long dead heart. He knows two things for sure: the bad guys desperately want her dead, and he'll risk anything to untangle the complex web of lies, deceit and murder surrounding them. He must, because somewhere in-between the mind-blowing kiss that saved his life and when they blew up her truck, he took the ultimate risk...he fell in love. Now nothing will stop him from keeping the seductive beauty by his side forever.
It's rather short and I felt that it should have been longer because the action was so concentrated that sometimes I felt breathless trying to get up to everything! It was hard work! LOL
The story is good, the heroine, Maria Ylena Katerina Angelica Elyria Lucano (a mouthful!!!), or Mykael as she calls herself is a real, real kick-ass!!! She's a killer. With good reason. And she's good. Very, very good!
The hero, Greg Lassiter, or Ghost, is a killer too. And he's very, very good too! *wink*
So, you can immagine how the things go when you have two very good killers together and she wants to kill him!!! On top of that, they're soooo very hot for each other!!! OMG!!!
There're other (bad) killers after them, there're undercover, double crossing agents... Ohhh... there're everything you can think of and it makes the story soooo good!
As I said before, it is so fast and tight that I felt almost overwhelmed! Almost, but not quite! LOL
It's good, it's hot, it's interesting and it keeps you on the edge!
I'll be loking out for the next! Will it be Sean's? *wink*
This book was excellent! The character development was well done, the action was fast, the protagonists intelligent, likeable and talented. I will definitely read the next one.
