Former CIA agent Bailey Jones is trying to forget her one night of passion with mercenary Sean O'Reilly. But that's a little hard to do when she turns on her TV and watches a news report of a bank robbery and funny enough, one of them seems to be Sean. Given their record, Bailey isn't sure who to trust anyone and when Sean's twin brother implicates matters, this is where Elle Kennedy really shines.

In a gripping, tautly-written novel, Elle Kennedy really shows off her writing talent. I've read a lot of Kennedy's books before but I think she has the most to offer when it comes to this series. With a hero like Sean O'Reilly, there's really no question that you'll be falling head over heels for him. Plus there's the added benefit of reading all the action-packed scenes and seeing all those muscles work in and out of the bedroom. Kennedy's heroes in this series are all multi-dimensional and bad-ass but the O'Reillys might just be my favorites.

That being said, one cannot forget about the heroines. If you're a fan already, then you must be aware of how intelligent and strong Kennedy's heroines are. They aren't just lingering behind the action but are present and active in each of the scenes as well. It's really inspiring to see and I love that Kennedy can portray their vulnerabilities without weakening them at the same time.

The Killer Instinct series continues be one of my favorite Romantic Suspense series. In addition to all the great action and stellar characterization, Kennedy doesn't shy away from the sexy either. As a result, it makes for an erotic blend of action, suspense and sex. What more could a reader want?

Book Summary

Former CIA agent Bailey Jones has spent months trying to forget her night of passion with mercenary Sean Reilly.

When Sean is implicated in the robbery of a Dublin bank, Bailey knows something isn’t right. So what if she can’t trust him? There’s no way Sean would end up on the wrong side of the law. In fact, he’s stuck in the middle of a dark and dirty conspiracy that could put his twin brother’s life at risk with one wrong move. And Bailey’s life too when she agrees to help.

As the stakes are raised and Bailey finds herself torn between two brothers, the fine line between danger and desire is crossed…and it’ll take more than a killer instinct to survive.
