Reviews

[Pamela · Rating 3 out of 5]

Malachy is a man who not only runs the blackest of the black ops known as The Unit, he is also damned good at it. He regrets being tied to a desk as opposed to being in the field with the action. However, he has the best team purposely picked for each of the jobs they do. Not only do Malachy and his team, including the beautiful and talented agent, Ana have to strive to protect the world and its future but they find themselves drawn into a web that was spun many decades ago before they were born. In a cold blooded manner reminding one of the eugenics philosophy that engulfed the entire planet, Malacy and Ana discover they were part of a deadly conspiracy when they were only infants. After making horrifying discoveries that disrupt their lives, their careers and their hunger for each other, Malachy, Ana and their team put all their personal wants and needs aside to punish the people responsible and to protect their own futures. Filled with action, seduction and with characters that drive the story, Malachy's Unit is a steady venture into the espionage and thriller genres. And, with the hot romance scenes between Mal and Ana, readers are sure to enjoy the story and start reaching for book two of the series. Enjoy!
