My Review:
Men, Mafia, Murder.....and Some Steamy Romance!
First off, I’m exhausted. This book is full of action and suspense,
and took my breath away many times. I honestly felt like I was watching an
episode of CSI or some other crime show. It
was intense.....and I mean serious palpitations intense.
*Phew*
Meet Celina Davenport, rookie FBI Agent who just brought
down a top Mafia man, Emilio Londano, while cozying up to him undercover. It
should be the peak of her career right? Um, nope. She’s rewarded by being shipped
off to Iowa . This doesn’t go over
well for the spunky, tough, independent, and slightly wild Celina. She needs
to be near the action, and Cooper.
Cooper is the strong, silent type. He’s the alpha male with
a slightly tortured hero mixed in. Cooper was the leader of Celina’s team and
the object of her affection. However, he didn’t return that affection…..or so
he said.
When the supposedly jailed Emilio suddenly surfaces and
threatens a slow and painful revenge against Celina, Cooper swoops in to the
rescue (and her bed). Obviously playing protector suits Cooper because he
finally gives in to the lustful feelings he has for Celina. But this man has a
hard heart, and anything beyond that ain’t happening.
The race to find Emilio before he gets his hands on Celina
is wild and keeps you on your toes. This guy is the ultimate bad guy. He’s
sick, sadistic, but won’t get his hands dirty so he calls in the best killer
around. What ensues is a game of cat and mouse between the ex-Mafia leader and
the FBI/DEA.
The closer Celina gets to Emilio’s grip, the stronger
Cooper’s feelings grow. Maybe he isn’t so hard-hearted after all.
From the first page to the last paragraph this novel is an
intense thriller that will keep you guessing. No one is safe, and no one can be
trusted. Emilio has allies everywhere,
leaving Celina vulnerable and the perfect prey for his crazy mind games.
Misty Evans is my reigning Queen of Crime Fiction. I love
her characters and the heart pounding action she brings to her novels. If you
love a good thriller, you will love Deadly Pursuit.
