Big Sky Bounty Hunters #2
Bullseye
Tough. Tenacious. True Blue.
Secret Service agent Isabella Gray thought those traits described bounty hunter Jacob Powell to a T. When the secretary of defense's family was ambushed on her watch, she knew she needed to recruit the sexy ex-Special Forces soldier for help. Isabella recognized all too well the shot of adrenaline that pulsed through her former lover upon learning that Big Sky's quarry - militia men on the lam - were behind the abduction. Forced to rely on each other after their rescue mission led to a harrowing plane crash, neither could resist the pent-up emotions churning between them. Once Jacob stumbled upon shocking evidence that an international mastermind could be pulling all the strings, would their red-hot passion chase away the chill of terror?

I enjoy the book.. but you do have to read all of them together....Here are the names of the Authors in order (Amanda Stevens,Jessica Andersen,Cassie Miles,Julie Miller,& Rebecca York) And here is the name of the series of the Books (BIG SKY BOUNTY HUNTERS)Here is a highlight from the book...
He winced. “Don’t even think about it. No more fighting for you, at least not for a while.” He sobered, eyes searching hers for something. “I’ve got a favor to ask you.” Tingles of nerves ran just below her skin. “What?” “I want you to stay with me for a while.” When she stiffened, he said, “If Cooper didn’t set us up, Boone must have tracked you all the way to D.C. and back. Derek Horton and Kane are both dead, and Lyle’s back at The Fortress, but Boone and the others are still at large. Until they’re captured, you’re in danger.” He watched her out of the corner of his eye, as though wondering whether she was going to buy it. She didn’t. Drugs or no drugs, she wasn’t letting him off easily. Not this time. Not ever again. Brain clearing, she struggled up until her spine was pressed against the pillow, her shoulders against the metal headboard. “Try again. Why do you want me to stay with you?” He scowled. “To keep you safe. If King Aleksandr was behind the abduction—” “Not good enough,” she interrupted. “Now that his family is safe, Cooper will speak to my superiors and get me reinstated at the Service. They can protect me as well as anyone.” She narrowed her eyes at him, needing him to say it. “What aren’t you telling me?” He glared at her, frustrated. He rose and paced away, then back, rubbing his hands across his face in his characteristic never-ending motion. Then he stopped, let his hands fall away, and looked down at her with an utterly baffled, utterly vulnerable expression on his face. “I owe you a future claim.” He took a breath. “You asked what I wanted and I lied. So I’m not lying now. I want you to stay with me. I want you to give me a chance. I want you to give us a chance.” He spread his hands as though leaving himself wide open for a bullet. “I want you. Period.” “And?” she demanded, even as her heart thundered in her chest and her soul expanded in a glowing mass that nearly floated her off the bed. “And,” he said, looking down at her with eyes that were finally clear of reservations and confusion, “I love you.” She felt like whooping, like cheering, like doing a dance around the bed. But instead she grinned fiercely and said, “Then I claim all your futures, Jacob Powell. Just try to get rid of me again.” “Never.” He joined her to sit at the edge of the bed, and enfolded her in his arms, at first tentatively, then with more and more pressure, as though he’d wondered, as she had, whether they would ever touch again. Then he kissed her, or she kissed him, it didn’t matter anymore who initiated the moment, it was finally here. And as she slid into the kiss, into the future, Isabella thought to herself that this was one game both of them had lost. And both of them had won.

I am not a fan of multi author series but I am really liking this series so far. Isabella and Jacob have this intense sexual pressure building between them and you are just waiting for it to explode. While you wait for the explosion you get caught up in the rescue mission and your wondering is the husband in on it or is he a victim too? Fair warning it ends in a cliffhanger.

Usually not much of a romance fan but Andersen held me captive with her fast paced, action packed writing style. I may even give the Intrigue collection another try.

This book was exciting and I liked how it tied into the larger story line of the militia. It was fast paced and had lots of danger, intrigue, and tension. I'd really give it something like 2.5 stars based on that larger storyline alone. However, I didn't buy into the romance. Jacob seems to have anger issues, and Isabella does too for that matter. They fight constantly, say incredibly mean things to each other (especially Jacob--he is just verbally brutal to Isabella sometimes), and truly seem to want different things out of life. They talk about how they never brought out the best in each other, but then they decide that's changed because they both grew up. Nope, I think you both had it right the first time! They weren't good for each other, and I didn't see them being able to stick it out. If I don't buy the romance, the book gets ruined for me.

4.5 stars for the H & h!! Almost 5! But went up to 5, for overall story Enjoyed the storyline - the cliffhanger of stories to come - I see an upcoming story about princess that is for the sullen bounty hunter, perhaps!
I just didn’t enjoy all the back and forth of “us then” and “us now” - I think the back story of emotions could of been developed a little bit more since there was all the back And forth! But it was a great book / story and do highly recommend!

I'm starting to get back into the Harlequin Intrigue paperbacks again. These are the mystery/romance that Harlequin publishes. Bullseye is one of the books from the Big Sky Bounty Hunters series which the setting takes place in Montana. This book was pretty good. It kept me entertained and I finished the book in just 2 days.

Breathtaking story from the first page to the last.
