Description from the publisher:
Egan Maddox
isn’t sure he’s the right man for the job when Northstar director Byron O’Neal
asks him to find his missing daughter and protect her from an unknown danger.
Egan’s never shaken off his attraction to Kellee O’Neal and hiding away with
her could be more trouble than this former Navy SEAL can handle.
Kellee is lost,
with no memory, and believes someone wants to hurt her. When Egan appears and
seems to know her, he convinces her she’ll be safe with him. As her memories
resurface, she turns to Egan for comfort, and her youthful crush transforms
into a womanly passion she can’t deny.
With the Russian
Mafia closing in, Kellee learns her entire life has been a lie. How can her
love for Egan be enough to help her navigate the murky waters of her past and
prove that her heritage doesn’t matter as much as the woman she’s become?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DEAD RECKONING is the second book in
the Northstar Security series. They each
stand completely on their own and can be read in any order.
Hurricane Igor, amnesia, the Russian
mafia, and sexual tension all kept me enthralled from beginning to end. I lost count of the number of times I held my
breath in this story! This is not a good
thing when you are driving- LOL.
It starts out with a hurricane; not
one of my favorite things in the world since I do live in Florida. Kellee’s life spins out of control from there
until she finds her anchor, Egan. I
loved that even then she didn’t make it easy on him and he didn’t make it easy
for her either.
I loved that Kellee was a strong
young lady. She was resourceful, smart,
and independent. She wasn’t afraid to
speak her mind and face the consequences of her decisions. With Egan, she is fierce and just as
determined as he is. This girl is not
going to just say “yes, Sir.” He better
have a reason for his orders or she isn’t going to jump. She is my hero!
I was rooting for Egan from the
minute he fussed at Kellee’s father. Can
you tell I have a bit of the rebel in me?
I’ll pretty much do as you ask, as long as you have a good reason, but
“because I said so” isn’t a reason.
Still, you can tell he has a soft spot for his Sweet Kellee and he only
needs to know she is missing to start jumping.
Isn’t that sweet, too?
The suspense was fantastic,
entertaining, and well executed.
Narration: The narrator, Charles Norman, is like listening to a favorite uncle tell a story. (Mine was named Uncle Wib.) I could listen to him for hours and
hours. His name on a book would be a
positive factor in choosing it for purchase!
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted
audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
