FBI Special Agent Bree Adams has a personal secret, something she has managed to keep hidden for the past ten years-at least she always thought so… But a chance encounter on a train, and whispered words of chilling consequence change everything. Is the truth about to come out or is someone playing with her mind and her life?

Nathan Bishop knew Bree when she was a street kid like him. Their dark past once put him in her debt, and he had to pay up. The last thing he wants to do is help her again. He has a new life now—a life he could lose with one wrong move. But the beautiful Bree is desperate—how can he walk away?

To get to the truth, protect innocent lives and their own, they'll have to fight their way through the past, as danger stalks their every move, and heartbreaking choices must be made.

I absolutely loved Reckless Whisper by Barbara Freethy, the second book in her Off the Grid series. I really love romantic thrillers and Barbara Freethy truly delivered an incredible story with Reckless Whisper. Each book in the series keeps getting better. I could not out it down. I loved every page. I have read some of Barbara Freethy's other books, both her romances and other romantic thrillers and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I loved the characters and the way she describes the locations in and around Chicago. I enjoyed that the location for Reckless Whisper was different from the location in Perilous Trust. I really enjoyed how the book was told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Barbara Freethy has shown that she is a master storyteller regardless of the genre. Reckless Whisper is the story of Bree Adams, an FBI agent in the New York Field Office and her former best friend, Nathan Bishop. As a member of the Critical Action Response Detail (CARD) team, Bree is sent to Chicago when it appears that another ten year old girl, Hayley Jansen has been kidnapped by the media dubbed, White Rose Kidnapper. When Bree goes to the home of Grace Roberts to interview her since she was the last person to see Hayley before she was abducted, Nathan Bishop answers the door. Grace Roberts is Nathan's niece. I love the reaction that each one of them had to the other. Aside from the case, Bree has been receiving mysterious phone calls that leads her to examine her own past in Chicago and with Nathan. Bree left Chicago eleven years ago, when she was pregnant put her baby up for adoption after she was born. Bree and Nathan work together to try to bring Hayley home, even though the Chicago FBi office has benched her from the case. While they are searching for Hayley, Bree and Nathan share secrets from their past and begin to explore their feelings for one another. I really enjoy the plot twists and the surprises in Reckless Whisper. One of my favorite parts of the story are the poignant moments that Bree and Nathan share, and the moment between Nathan and his sister, Josie. I love how Hayley was rescued and that good triumphed over evil in the end. I love how the Epilogue, wraps up the ending of the story. Never would I have guessed who was behind the kidnapping and the threats against Bree, that was truly a surprise plot twist. I love how all the lose ends got tied up. It was an incredible story and I loved every page. So looking forward to reading Wyatt Tanner's story in Desperate Play.

Page turning, twists and turns, edge of your seat, intriguing suspenseful romance thriller. What more could you want. Barbara Freethy has pulled another one out of the hat. You are not going you put this down once you start it. Bree Adams is a FBI Agent and is working in New York Agency in the CARD (Critical Action Response Detail) division. They help law enforcement find endangered children. She is working on a case for a serial killer/kidnapper that has been abducting 10-year-old girls and leaving a white rose. Bree receives a call from her boss and she has to head to Chicago where an another 10-year-old girl has been taken and a white rose was left. Bree grew up in Chicago and has not been back there since she escaped 10 years prior. Bree has kept some secrets for the past 10 years that she does not want anyone to know about. On returning to Chicago Bree goes to interview the only witness to the kidnapping. When the door opens it is her old friend Nathan Bishop behind the door, it is his sister Josie’s daughter that was the witness. Nathan helped Bree escape Chicago back when she was a teenager. He knows all her secrets. Their friendship ignites and the romance starts to hit the pages. You find yourself hooked on their relationship and want the HEA for them. There are so many twist and turns is this book it will keep you guessing right till the end. Oh, by the way you better hold on as you are in for one hell of a ride. I have to admit that I Did not work out the kidnapper until it was there in black and white. I usually work it out sooner but Barbara did a great job of hiding clues right in front of us. Now all I can say is Barbara has drawn me into this series and I am anxiously awaiting the next book. Which is Desperate Play.

This was the second story in Barbara Freethy’s Off The Grid series and it did not disappoint! Just as in the first book, I was captivated with this story within the first few sentences. This was the story of Bree Adams, an FBI agent in NYC working a case on a missing child, and Nathan Bishop, who works in construction in Chicago. Bree and Nathan had a past together when they were kids that not many knew about. When Bree left Chicago 10 years earlier, with Nathan’s help, she swore she would never go back. But a missing child case in Chicago had her leaving her FBI bureau in NYC to help find 10 year old Haylee. What she didn’t know was that Haylee’s best friend Grace, who was the last person to see her before being abducted, was Nathan’s niece. When she knocks on the door of Grace’s house to try to get more information on Haylee’s disappearance, Nathan answers the door. All the events that occurred after he leaves Bree into the house had me sitting on the edge of my seat! Reckless Whisper has it all. Suspense, drama, chemistry, and a very happy ending. There are a few questions left unanswered that I’m hoping will be answered in the next book. Barbara has perfected the art of storytelling. She knows how to tell you enough about a character to make you feel like you really know them, and she tells a story that draws you into the situations and makes you feel what the characters would be feeling, without going into so much detail that you want to just skim over some sections. You hang on EVERY WORD!!! I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. I highly recommend Reckless Whisper.
