Athena Force #11
Target
Someone was trying to assassinate the president of the United States, and only army intelligence captain Diana Lockworth had the ability to stop them--if she could convince the authorities she wasn't a crackpot. It didn't help that her intel came from a source so secret even she didn't know who it was. With only twenty-four hours to stop the attack, she had to figure out who was masterminding the plot and when they planned to strike. First, she had to get the charismatic young president on her side. And then she'd give the enemy a new target--herself!

I liked a lot about this book - the characters, the instant attraction between Diana and the president-elect, the action, the mystery, the Athena Force connection! The story takes place during a 24-hour period, which is a great concept, but I was looking for a little more romance with the story. However, admittedly, I haven't read a Silhouette Bombshell in a long time so I maybe should have expected that! :-) Nevertheless, I'll read another Cindy Dees novel, no doubt!
