This is the first book by this author that I have read and she does not disappoint especially if you like romantic suspense with some heat!

OH, THE MIGHTY SHALL FALL
Retrograde is a well plotted quite complex story that had me hooked from the very beginning. The twists and turns and surprises just kept happening at a very rapid pace, an edge of your seat mix of action and sizzling romance and tension and revelations and finally elation.
What a fantastic start to a new series, it doesn’t get any better than this. Highly recommend.
