His heart can bear no more loss.Unfortunately, the universe isn’t listening. First, his brother hires JJ, a fiery-haired, tough cop who lives on the edge of danger and has the biggest heart of anyone he knows. And then, his disreputable past returns in the shape of an adorable, foul-mouthed nine-year-old daughter. Now he has two loved ones to protect. An impossible task, because…Life is dangerous. Especially in Alaska.My Review As always, another awesome Cherise Sinclair book. I'll admit, I loved the first book but wasn't really pulled in by Caz's characters so I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, however, I ended up falling totally in love with Caz! And JJ was so awesome too, I absolutely love kick-ass heroines and Cherise Sinclair always writes the best! As for Regan, wonderful kid and I loved how she was written; in so many books the kids are written as all sunshine and sparkles, as if they're absolutely perfect. As a former nanny, I know that is never true - even the best behaved children have their moments! I enjoyed the story, though it had less action than the first book and I felt it slowed down in places, however, I'm very eager to see what this series has for us next... My favourite quotes from 'Lethal Balance':'Mako might have prepared his boys to be soldiers, but humans didn't adjust well to killing.' 'Why do they pick on little kids? That's like cheating.'
