Editorial Review: Product Description: Covert operations are what Val Janos is all about. The man is mysterious and sinister, and lethally hot. Only Tamara can understand the strange intensity that drives him to win at all costs - and only she can match it.Val has one weak spot: Imre, the frail old man who befriended him when he was scared hungry kid abandoned on the streets of Budapest. But daddy Novak knows about Imre, and Imre's head is on the block if Val doesn't deliver Tam up to Novak's tender mercies. A white hot passion explodes when Tam and Val get too close. They both have too much to be afraid of, too much to hide. And now, for the first time, too much to lose... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tons of action.This was my first Shannon McKenna. I LOVED IT! The plot involved two really tough and intelligent male and female lead characters. Both so perfectly matched. He a hardcore street kid turned assassin for hire that no one controlled and she a woman with a tragic past that shapes her into a savvy business woman who deals in tools of death. An awesome read with lots of sizzle. I knew these two were going to be great together and wasn't disappointed. A real kick-butt thriller with a well done plot. ... Read More Rating: - Not your run-of-the-mill hero/heroineI love the McCloud series. If you're bored with the typical action- adventure characters, the McCloud brothers and their friends might add some zip to your reading. When McKenna announced that she was working on Tamara's story, I thought that it would be a let-down because I couldn't imagine a man who would be a true mate for her. ...but I was wrong. These characters are a perfect match--two people who carry real scars on their souls but whose personalities are so vibrant and strong that they are ... Read More Rating:  - Deadly Lovers - Tamara meets her match.Shannon McKenna's books are a guilty pleasure for me. They push the edge of my comfort zone for sensual language (though you'd never guess by the spate of steamier stuff I've stumbled into lately). But McKenna does such a great job with her characters, and developing their relationship against a nailbiting backstory, that I keep coming back for more. Even though Tamara has not been the most sympathic of supporting characters in the previous five books in the series, she has been such an interesting ... Read More Rating: - Exceeded My Expectations Although I've been anticipating this book for months, I was nervous that it wouldn't meet my expectations. Tam has never been a likeable character, and I was concerned that McKenna would either fail to make her softer in a believable way OR that in toning Tam down (which had to happen if she were to fall in love), McKenna would strip her of the strong, in-your-face qualities she's shown so clearly in the other novels. I am very happy to say that both worries were unfounded. In fact, Tam emerges as ... Read More Rating: - A lot of hot sex plus an exciting, suspenseful and sometimes scary story that kept me up late.STORY BRIEF & REVIEWER'S OPINION: Shannon McKenna does it again. I am amazed that she continues to come up with excellent stories with new and surprising ideas. This is one of her best and it's her eighth book (that I know of and not counting anthologies). For some reason I thought of James Bond when I read this book. The two main characters Val (hero) and Tam (heroine) are a romance writer's version of James-Bond-type characters. They are both super smart and talented at lying, spying and killing. ... Read More |
