Summary:
She Needs a Hero...
Abby Thompson didn't sign up to be the daughter of the President of the United States. The position was forced on her by the small matter of her birth. Preferring a quiet life of study, she's content to leave the politics and the international intrigue to her father.
Unfortunately, the most powerful man on the planet is sure to make enemies. When a group of armed thugs takes her hostage half a world away, demanding the U.S. government release prisoners in exchange for her safe return, she fears her father's policy of "not negotiating with terrorists" means she'll never see the shores of the Potomac again.
Luckily, there's one glimmer of hope. His name is Carlos Soto. And though she abruptly ended things with him years ago, she knows now he's the only man who can save her…
Black Knights, Inc. to the Rescue...
Carlos "Steady" Soto has taken part in his fair share of dangerous missions working at the covert government defense firm of Black Knights Inc. But nothing prepared him for the emotional rollercoaster he faces when he's tasked with rescuing the only woman he ever loved-who also broke his heart.
Racing against time and outmaneuvering a group of trained terrorists will take everything he's got. Plus there's the heat simmering between them which is threatening to ignite into an inferno. While ruthless enemies stalk them, they must learn to trust each other again. Even if they do make it out alive, will Abby turn her back on him... for the second time?
My Review:
This is another one of those series that I so love to read, but have not been able review before now. And I was really happy to be able to have the chance to review this book. If you love books that have action, suspense, ex-military men, and some romance mixed in than you'll like the Black Knight INC men. And this book has a little bit of that all mixed into it. This book starts with a bang (literally), well with a sad bang.
Carlos "Steady" Soto was confident and strong right off the bat. He obviously still cares for Abby very much. But you can tell there's a sadness underneath his tough exterior.
Abby was a likable heroine. She's very independent, even though her fathers the president. She's also a tough cookie after being kidnapped. Though I do think Abby carries way too much guilt on her shoulders that she shouldn't be carrying.
I think this story had great flow throughout it. I loved all of the characters in this book. Like I said even though this is not the first book I've read by author Julie Ann Walker this is the first one I've reviewed. I think Mrs. Walker grabs your attention from the beginning of the book to the end.
I give this book 4.5 Stars Out of 5 Stars and would recommend it to anyone who likes these kind of books.
