Samantha Waters has made it her life's work to defuse bombs, track their creators and generally keep things from getting blown sky-high. When she's pulled off her job to a special task force, she's not too happy about the prospect because she's used to working alone. But too quickly, she's getting used to having a partner in Payton Reynolds, a former Delta Force guy and now doing black ops for the CIA.

They've been thrown together to investigate the bombing death of three Senators -- and no one can decide if the men were supposed to be killed or in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, as the special team (which includes Gabe and Madison from ENDGAME) gets further into the investigation, it seems as if the motive for the bombings might be a little more personal. In fact, Sam seems to be intricately involved.

I'm a sucker for action, romance and series that let me get to know the characters better. In other words, Dee Davis is writing for me. With a lot of strong alpha males, great women characters, and a solid plot, this is great summer reading! Kind of makes you want to get your spy gear and go undercover...
