Now, forced together by a bombing at the National Congress, Jenna and Gabe confront the urgent longings that simmer between them.  But this surprise meeting is no coincidence.  A ruthless enemy stalks them with deadly precision.  The question is...if they make it out alive. will Gabe turn his back on Jenna...again?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I would really like to give this book a 3 1/2 stars, although it didn't miss the fourth star by much.  The characters were multi-dimensional and more important; the characters were written in such a way that you want to read more about this group of ex-OP guys and how their storys turn out.

    <body><![CDATA[I decided to start in the middle of the series with this one just to see if it was truly something that order didn't matter.  Yes and No.  The filling-in of the storyline was a bit annoying.  It would have been more fun to start at the beginning of the series.  Still, it was ok to start in the middl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29325270">more...</a>]]></body>

She is even better at this kind of writing as Christine Feehan, which is really saying something.
