Characters:
Kate Huntley - To me Kate was a survivor. She was a hard core chic that took no crap from anyone and she did things on her own terms and how she wanted. I really enjoyed her character because even though she was tough, she also had a soft side as well, which made her real to me.
Jack Coffey - What can I say about this man other one hot FBI Agent!! Jack had a live life to the fullest attitude even when fighting his demons he kept so hard to hide. He was loyal to his country and believed that all those who hold a badge are to protect and serve. He had a witty personality that leaves you wanting more. He had a kind heart and would do anything to make things right and to protect those who were close to him no matter the cost.
A.J. Hanson - The best friend and colleague of Jack's. Loyal to his friends and determined to find out the truth instead of believing. Willing to risk for the adventure.
There were a couple other characters in the book but I feel there would be not much I could describe that would not give away their role in the story.
Story Review:
At 15 years old Kate was sailing with her father on the outskirts of Haiti when a horrific tragedy happened. For 10 years Kate was left to survive on her own. She learned how to trust no one and to defend herself from the scum she came across every day. Kate's life was constantly on the run and she never had anyone she could rely on till one day all that changed with FBI Special Agent Jack Coffey came into the pictures. Jack was sent to find Kate and bring her back in regards to finding out who had murdered a couple of scientists, including her father, who were working on an AIDS cure. Things don't go as plan for Jack and Kate and they find themselves running for their lives in order to find out the truth of what really is going on.
I was hooked the minute I opened the book and read the first page. I knew this book was going to end up being a wild ride! I was right!! Everything about this book had me hanging on each word till the end! I had no issues understanding how the characters felt, the writing style of the book was great and very few flaws with editing (which never really matters to me anyhow, I don't review a book for its editing issues).
The chemistry between Kate and Jack was off the chain, I like how the author did not just throw them automatically into a relationship. It kind of is a turn off on a story for me if there is not a struggle for a character to open up. I am not about perfect people and perfect couples, I like the suspense of whether or not they will get together in the book. I like characters to have flaws. Ms. Ragan did just that!
I felt also, when compared to other novels that this one did not feel rushed. It had a nice flow and there was a good amount of detail to the action of the story. I definitely had a hard time trying to figure out who was actually the main bad guy.
Can I just throw out there that the sexual tension between Kate and Jack was insane, there were times I was just like get it over with you know you want to, lol. Jack was just pure hotness, you can't go wrong with a yummy FBI agent that has his own way of doing things!!
Overall, this book was a great little read and I would highly recommend you reading. Theresa Ragan has a great way of helping you understand her characters while still giving you the action and suspense you need in a book. I look forward to reading more books by her!
