Power Play (Capital Intrigue Book #3)

Rachel Dylan is always a go-to author in the romantic suspense genre. She finishes the Capital Intrigue series with Power Play. The suspense and intrigue of this story captured my attention from the beginning. I was kept guessing almost to the end. I liked that Dylan tied up the three storylines in this series with an epilogue at the end of the book as well. Although this novel is the third in the series and characters from the first two books appear, it could be read as a stand-alone. I was given a copy of this book by the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This is book three in the Capital Intrigue series, even though it is a stand alone book, you do miss some history of some of the characters by just jumping into this one, plus you miss some good reads. This book is full of mystery, Suspense and some romance. If you enjoy FBI, NCIS, CIA type stories you will love this one. I loved reconnecting with characters we met in the first two books but also getting to know some new ones. In book three we focus on State Department attorney Vivian Steele and the former SEAL and current Diplomatic Security Service agent, Jacob Cruz.. Viv and Jacob must work together to try to solve a crime all while also trying to stay safe. There are many twist and turns in this novel and I love the sparks between Viv and Jacob. I was given a copy of this novel for my honest opinion.

She wasn’t sure whether the terror was over or just beginning. Vivian Steele, lawyer, works in the Office of the Legal Advisor in the State Department - a behind the desk kind of job. Somehow that all changes in this incredible conclusion to the Capital Intrigue series. A state dinner, the death of two ambassadors and suddenly Viv finds herself in a dangerous position she would not have chosen! The author has done a fabulous job of taking us behind the scenes as the FBI, CIA, State Department and others try to unravel the mystery behind these deaths. The non-stop action will keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering who can be trusted. Don’t expect to put this one down until you reach the end.
