Hmmnn...how to begin? How about "I loved it!" This was a taut, action-packed read, with a hero and heroine I really liked.

We first met the H/H in a previous book called "Into The Dark". Although this book is technically the start of a new series (Black Ops series), do yourself a favor and make sure you read "Into the Dark" first, you'll understand the characters a whole lot more. I had read "Into the Dark", but it's been about a year, and I...more

Thought this took awhile to get going, but once it did it became fast paced and hard to put down. I enjoyed reading about the secondary relationship that developed and would liked to have read more of their story than was in this book. Maybe they will still get their own story...

I think it needs to be said: This is a spin off from this author's Bodyguard Series AND the plot of this one is directly from the last book in that series. But, in order to understand that last book you ne...more

It's been a long time since I've read a romance that was worth 5 stars. There are so many things I liked about this book, I hardly know where to begin.
#1 The heroine was not a wussy little nit-wit, nor was she Ms. Kick-Ass who is determined to compete with the guys and win. She was intelligent, feminine, well respected in her career field, brave and determined, and knew when to let the guy take the lead and when to put in her 2 cents.
#2 The hero was 100% alpha male, plus everything...more

Cindy Gerard just proved again why she is on my "must get" list. I loved all the the Bodyguards books and this first book in the Black Ops series makes me think I am going to love them, too.
The first couple of chapters are a basic setup to the hero and heroine. A little background on Black Ops, Inc. and Gabe and background on who Jenna is. Once you get past this, the book speeds along! (I read this in a day--in amongst doing lots of other things, so it was a very fast read.) ...more

Show No Mercy by Cindy Gerard

Non-stop action and fantastic characters kick start this new series into an explosive way.

Jenna McMillan is an ace-reporter suffering from a traumatizing rescue in Argentina. She is haunted by her abduction and disturbed by the memory of a sizzling kiss with her rescuer, Gabriel Jones. Feeling lost, she escapes to her family's ranch until she is convinced to return t...more

Journalist Jenna McMillan is lured to Argentina to get an interview with bad guy Emilio Maxim. Gabe and Jenna join forces along with 6 other Black Ops guys to uncover the link between Adler and Maxim. Then the fun really starts.

From Holly R:
'If you decide to read the first book in the BlackOps series, you should read Into the Dark, book six of CG's Bodyguards series first. The H/H meet in Into the Dark. The other couple from Into the Dark meet in To the Brink, book 3 of the Bodyguard series.
I read Show No Mercy first, because I thought it would be nice to start a new author who was creating a new series. Ha. I spent the first thirty minutes of SnM wondering what the heck was going on.'

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. To a series addict like myself, that is an essential element.

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 middle.

This book is Violent. I would not recommend it for the squeamish. It does serve as a decent platter from which to serve the story and character development. The character development ...more

I thought it ok. It just didn't do it for me, not like Cindy Gerard's Bodyguard series. There was some intriguing quality about that series that had me in awe. This was ok, but I'm sure any other Gerard fan will love it. 2/5 stars.

I absolutely LOVED this book - I'm on deadline and still couldn't put it down. So much alpha male...so much angst...this one's a definite keeper for me.

The action aspect of this series is what attracted me to it in the first place, and Gerard doesn’t disappoint! She is even better at this kind of writing as Christine Feehan, which is really saying something. I finished the first book of the series, Show No Mercy, and today I ordered the other books from the series. It looks like the series was almost a continuation from Gerard’s earlier books about E.D.E.N., Inc., so I will probably have a huge backlog to go through once I’ve exhausted my...more

With a great tie in to the E.D.E.N. series this has the looks of a graet series. I was thrilled to see Gabe's story after meeting him in Dallas and Amy's.

2 books in one-a bodice buster/throbbing manhood story (poorly done) AND a Black Ops jungle adventure. Make up your mind, Cindy.
