Risk No Secretes by Cindy Gerard

Risk No Secretes by Cindy Gerard is the fifth book in her Black Ops series and it has been hands down one of my favorite books that I've read so far this year. Ok, I know I've only read a couple so far, but I didn't want to put it down as I had to since my day job doesn't really like it if I'm reading a book instead of doing what I'm there for. You, know actually working.

Anyways, if you like action, military men, and strong women who are put through hell and back while keeping up with the men in there lives then this Romantic Thriller is for you.

A red-hot attraction... 
Twelve years of chasing bad guys didn't erase beautiful Sophie Baylor from Wyatt Savage's memory. If he had another chance, he'd never let her leave. So when she tracks him down from El Salvador and begs for help, he doesn't ask questions -- he just goes.

Starts with a terrifying threat... 
Sophie is grateful her daughter survived a kidnapping attempt, but she won't forgive herself until the girl who was mistakenly abducted is safe. Wyatt is the only man brave enough to take on the mysterious terrorists behind the crime; and the one irresistible man she wishes she had never let go.

...and unleashes an unforgettable adventure 
Sophie knows Central America's steamy jungles and sticky politics better than anyone. Yet she refuses to hide in fear. Then she becomes the enemy's number-one target. Wyatt lost her once, and he won't lose her again -- even if he has to fight, kill, or die to save her
This book was full of heart pounding action and romance and was able to keep a balance of both through out the whole book. Wyatt the good southern boy struggling with deciding where he wants his life to go having lived most of his life serving his country and fighting the bad guys of the world, before all the violence eats his soul and he becomes one of the bad guys. Sophie is his saving grace since the day he met her 12 years earlier, but in the end it was the time the spent apart that helped mold them into the people who they are now and in the end an even better match for the other.

It's sure to be filled with plenty of twists and turns and non stop action. I know I'm now hooked on her books and can't wait to read more.

Silenced by Allison Brennan

This week I've finished the fourth novel in Allison Brennan's Lucy Kincaid series, Silenced. Having not read the first three books in the series, this book wasn't hard to follow the back story of what happened in the other novels. In many series novels I find that in the beginning of the book they give the reader an info dump to be able to keep up on what had just happened. This was not the case with Silenced. Brennan was able to weave into the story enough information as to the character's history to not be able to break up the flow of this intense thriller.

Lucy Kincaid is an analyst for the FBI, working to get into the Academy to become a Special Agent. With the special talent of being able to put herself into the mind of a killer and the mind of the victim, Lucy and her partner Special Agent Noah Armstrong are put on a high profile case that goes deeper than Senators and high end call girls. As Lucy's P.I. boyfriend has a job for himself to help protect Lucy and his past from getting in the way of her case and goal to become apart of the FBI.

Brennan has weaved so many story lines that in themselves could be their own novel, but here didn't over whelm the reader with too much information at one time. Balancing action and information Brennan had me questioning the whole time, who's the real killer, and wanting to know more about our heroine who's been through as many difficulties as some of the victims that she is trying to help.

I for one am curious about Lucy and her struggles and plan on going back to read book one in the series. If you like the TV shows Scandal or Bones, then these books are right up your ally.
