Against the Dark: The Spy's Fake Fiance

Angel Ramirez had left her days as a jewel thief behind and was now a successful interior designer. But when her friend's aunt was kidnapped for ransom, she agreed to one more job. Unfortunately, the simple job took a turn for the worse when Angel was caught. When undercover agent, Cole Hawkins, found out who she was, he blackmailed her into helping him steal some documents. They would help him locate and stop a ship full of high school kids, coming from the other side of the world who thought they'd won scholarships to schools in America. But they hadn't. Instead, they would be in snuff films. Cole was a nerdy alpha. Everything was logistics and number to him. It was how he figured everything out. He was quite dominating at times, too. I liked Angel. She was loyal, smart and resourceful. Her skills were almost too good to be true. Not only was she a highly skilled safecracker but when she changed careers, she became a very successful interior designer. The villain was disgusting and his business depraved beyond belief. He's sadistic, perverted and killed for fun. It didn't take me long to realize this was my kind of book. The gripping suspense and amazing skills of Angel and Cole had me hooked. Add their smokin' chemistry and you've got a great book. I'm intrigued by the way the Associates work and am looking forward to reading more in this series.

The story had some unexpected twists and turns that kept you guessing. It was enjoyable.

Really good reading. Enough action and mystery to keep me turning the pages. An author worth following
