So, in The Loner we have Dillon Cassidy(DEA friend of Riley from Who's the Boss) and Sydney(the reporter of Hidalgo County).
Sydney is a great reporter, tenacious and can smell a story from a mile away. She tried the big city route and instead got stabbed(by a friend and realized her fiancee didn't really love her) and now loves where she is. So, when two teenage kids go missing, she knows there is a story and goes on the hunt.
When we last met Dillon he was getting burned out and planning to hand his badge, but he hung on to nab a drug lord, which resulted in him getting injured and a bullet lodged in his spine, which could paralyze him any moment. So, now he's retired and living like a recluse, when his friend Riley tells him he needs his help to track down two kids. Dillon isn't sure, his back limits him quite a bit.
They both run into each other as they are on the same track and Dillon isn't that polite but Sydney is no push-over and does as she pleases, in turn discovering the body of one of the boys.
I enjoyed the book especially the push and pull between them, Sydney was very independent and Dillon didn't want to get involved and saddle a woman with a man who could get paralyzed any moment. Even though I am not a big fan of books with reporters, this one was enjoyable, I did have a problem with Dillon pushing her away in the end and would have liked he accepted her at that time only.
Now, I am going to read Lady in Red which features Sydney's reporter friend Blake.
