As the extractions expert for A-Tac, an elite CIA black ops unit masquerading as faculty at an Ivy League college, Drake Flynn knows how to survive behind enemy lines. But he’s about to meet one adversary he can’t subdue . . . or resist. A RACE FOR SURVIVAL Stranded in the Colombian jungle after a mission goes bad, Drake has only one objective: evade the mercenaries hot on his trail and deliver “the package” to U.S. officials. But “the package” has a mind of her own, and she has no intention of trading one set of captors for another. Madeline Reynard is beautiful, headstrong, and hell-bent on escape after years as a crime lord’s pawn. She’ll risk everything for freedom, even if it means deceiving the dark, handsome operative who now holds her life in his hands. Drake has been burned too many times to let a woman manipulate him, especially a secretive one like Madeline. Even so, they cannot deny the attraction between them. Now as enemy forces close in, Drake and Madeline must trust each other with their lives-or face certain death.
My Review:
Dangerous Desires by Dee Davis is the second installment of her A-Tac series, bringing back action, adventure, suspense, intrigue, and romance. Dangerous Desires stands well on its own, yet I do recommend Davis’ previous novel Dark Deceptions, which introduces the A-Tac team. The mission this time is for the A-Tac team to go into San Mateo, Columbia, and break into Casa de Orquidea, the known location of narcoterrorists Jorge di Silva and Hector Ortiz, to secure American Madeline Reynard, believed to be Ortiz’s mistress, gather intelligence from her, take out the weapons cache and bring her safely to America. A relatively simple plan for the A-Tac team, yet things rarely go as planned. Dangerous Desires is a fast paced, thrilling novel filled with action and adventure mixed with cunning, wit, and just the right amount of plot twists. Davis once again assembles her delightful and eclectic A-Tac members, Flynn, Brennon, Avery, Marshall, Hanson, Walsh, and Prescott for a mission more complicated than initially thought, especially when Madeline, the woman they were sent to retrieve does not want their type of saving, has her own secrets and will do anything to protect them. Through brilliant narration and vivid imagery, the reader easily becomes absorbed in the novel, trying to guess what will happen next in this non-stop fast-paced thriller that will keep the reader guessing up to the explosive ending. I strongly recommend Dangerous Desires and look forward to the third A-Tac book, Desperate Deeds, due out this August.
