Backlash (Capital Intrigue Book #2)

This is book two in the Capital Intrigue series. It is a stand alone book, however you do miss some history of some of the characters and other good reads by skipping book one, "End Game". This book is full of mystery, suspense and some romance. If you enjoy reading FBI, NCIS, CIA type books you will love this one. We reconnect with many interesting characters, which we met in book one. There are different story lines throughout this book, however it is well written and you always know which characters are speaking. This book focus is on Layla and Hunter. When they are forced to work together they must put aside their difference to discover a mole and try to keep the cartel from killing her. I look forward to reading book three. I love all the characters and all the story lines throughout this series. I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion.

BACKLASH....Rachel.Dylan.. CIA Layla and her friend DEA Cassie had.an intruder in her.home noticing the Mejia tattoos.on him. Seeing them in Honduras an op they just did. There was casualties one of which was the cartels little brother, were they behind these attaches. Layla has felt like she was being followed for several weeks. Then a bomb at the restaurant where her friends gather on Saturday's, injuring Viv and Layla. PI Hunter and his friend Elijah with Alexandra police, he came telling Hunter about Layla being in the hospital and to go see her. While Layla still in hospital her boss telling her she is on leave while being the subject of an IG investigation. Her mentor telling her it could damage her career and to fight it, hard. Layla had a team, of the four of them on the last op, did she really know them. Intrigue and action to the last page. Showing that loyalty is not always a given or sure thing, when money and power come into play. Another good plot and characters of Hunter and Layla in this story. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion by Net Galley and. Bethany House

If you're looking for a book full of suspense, action, mystery, and a second-chance romance, Backlash is what you need. Rachel Dylan has done an incredible job of writing a story that quickly grabbed my interest, had likable characters, a very sweet romance, a faith sustained and one resurrected, and a plot filled with twists and turns that rocketed through to the end. Some of those twists I did not see coming, but I found them to be believable. There's a great HEA too. I definitely plan to read more in this series and more of Rachel Dylan's other works. I highly recommend this to readers of romantic suspense, to Christian fiction readers, and to readers of clean/whole romance. I bet you'll love it as much as I do! I received a complimentary copy. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this incredible romantic suspense book.
