Midnight Abduction

Lots and lots of action in this addition to the Tactical Crime Division. Action and danger, and a bit of second chance romance for the TCD's kidnapping and ransom specialist, Ana Sofia Ramirez. Benning and Ana have good chemistry, and I like that they both recognize that the feelings never left even if it does take a good amount of push and pull to get them both to admit it. We also get a couple of adorable kiddos to ooh and aah over, and they have some of the most adorable lines, including one scene in particular at the end. Ana is one tough cookie, at least where her job's concerned, even if she is a bit closed off to relationships, and Benning is just what she needs to round out her life. The story has great characters and a fast pace to keep readers on their toes along with the second chance romance, which is one of my favorite romance tropes. Another entertaining read in the Tactical Crime Division world.

Both the author and the series are new to me , so I was unsure what to expect. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Tactical Crime Division, TCD, is a special unit of the FBI. Created to handle very tough cases in remote areas. In this story the main characters are single Dad of twins Benning Reeves and FBI agent Ana Ramirez, who is also a member of TCD. These two had a relationship years ago and each went their separate ways. But when one of the twins in abducted, Benning contacts Ana. The plot was filled with suspense, bad guys, good ones and of course , romance. Though at times I felt I was missing something for not having read the previous books, I was still able to enjoy the book. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and Harlequin. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Midnight Abduction by Nichole Severn Tactical Crime Division (TCD) #3 Benning Reeves has had the worst day of his life when he realizes one of his twins is in the hospital and the other is being held hostage by a killer. All he has to do is not contact the FBI or police and return a skull to the madman and all will be well…or will it really? I mean, who can trust a madman killer? So, he reaches out to the woman he knew and loved seven years ago – an FBI agent with the specialty of finding those who have been taken. And, moments after Agent Ramirez arrives the fireworks begin. From that point on it is a life or death situation that includes, knives, guns, crowbars, axes, deceit, bombs, fisticuffs, psychological warfare and a w hole lot more. Will the TCD team win or will the bad guy get away with…murder, kidnapping and more? What I liked: * Agent Ramirez: a tough cookie that has sealed off her emotions in order to focus her attention on her job. This case may crack her protective shell as she deals with the man she once loved. * Benning: a good man, great father, a person who does what is right, and totally willing to do what it takes to get his children back…and woo Ana again. * The pace and action * The writing * The amazing recuperative powers of the two main characters they seem to have terminator healing abilities (have to suspend medical reality a bit to believe all they endure and are able to come out still standing) * Owen and Olivia: twins that were interesting young people – perhaps geniuses with their reading and other abilities or perhaps just written older than most normal six year old children really are. * The HEA for the two main characters * That those who were evil were unveiled and justice was served. What I did not like: * The bad guys Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more by this author? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Intrigue for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4 Stars
