Hostage Situation

Colby Agency #27

by Debra Webb

Renee Vaughn went undercover to bring down a powerful druglord. Finding her "in" to the reclusive criminal's life was easy—his brother Paul Reyes was his polar opposite. A classic good man in a bad situation—and the Equalizers' newest agent was about to have her way with him.

Now on the receiving end of a dirty double cross, Paul and Renee were running for their lives. As they joined forces to elude his brother's hitmen, their attraction grew deeper. But would it withstand Paul discovering the truth about who Renee really was? Who was being held hostage here—when both their hearts were put directly in harm's way?

Reviews

[Theresa · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was extremely confusing at first; I had a hard time following what was going on and who was who, and not in a good way. Also, Webb has this whole sideline story about Renee's brother that we never really figure out what it's about or its' relevancy to the story. Like all the Harlequin Intrigue series, this was also just too short for full plot, character and relationship development. Overall, not one of Harlequin Intrigue's best and not worth reading unless you have nothing else and can get it for free.
