Throwback Thursday: Against All Odds

 

Another Throwback to June 2015.  This was one of the first series I've read by Irene Hannon and I was happy to discover another author in Romantic Suspense.  Since then, I've read most of Irene Hannon's romantic suspense books:

Against All Odds by Irene Hannon
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

This is my second book from Irene Hannon and all of her books are now top of my list to read.

If you are a romantic suspense lover, you need to read her books. The suspense was good and the detail of the FBI was well researched. Her characters are also written in a like-able way. The build up of the romance is also done in a non-overbearing cheesy way.

Monica's father is a hostage negotiator in Afghanistan. Now the terrorists issued a threat against Monica and two HRT operatives, Coop and Mark, is assigned to Monica's protection detail. Something went wrong and Monica's is kidnapped.

The way the kidnapping was executed was well researched and came across as possible. I liked Monica, she is an independent strong women but not without her issues. I really like the interaction between her and Coop and loved Coop's partner, Mark and looking forward to read more about him in book two.

The lesson of forgiving and reconcile relationships when you still have time came across strongly.

I enjoyed this book a lot and recommend it for all romantic suspense readers.

About the book:

For FBI Hostage Rescue Team member Evan Cooper and his partner, dignitary protection duty should have been a piece of cake. Unfortunately, Monica Callahan isn't making it easy. Estranged from her diplomat father--who is involved in a sensitive hostage situation in the Middle East--she refuses to be intimidated by a related terrorist threat back in the States. That is, until a chilling warning convinces her that the danger is very real--and escalating.

As Coop and his partner do their best to keep her safe, Monica's father triggers an abduction that puts his daughter's life at risk. And with every second that ticks by, Coop knows that the odds of saving the only woman who has ever breached the walls around his heart are dropping. After all, terrorists aren't known for their patience--or their mercy.

Book one in the Heroes of Quantico series, this suspense-filled novel will whisk readers along for the thrilling ride.
