Product Description
Heroic JusticeWhen a homeless veteran is found dead in a squalid Sacramento alley, FBI special agent Megan Elliott vows to find the murdered hero’s killer. Her investigation gets complicated fast, for the victim, a former Delta Force soldier, is just one link in a nationwide spree of torture and murder.Straight off a job rescuing medical missionaries, soldier-for-hire Jack Kincaid returns to his home base in the Texas border town of Hidalgo only to receive the news that one of his closest colleagues–also ex-military–has been brutally murdered. Faced with an inept local police force, Jack takes matters into his own hands.Now, as part of a national task force to stop the sadistic killings, by-the-book Megan and burn-the-book Jack form a tense alliance, sparked with conflict and temptation. But they struggle against more than passion, for a vicious pair of killers has only just begun a rampage of evil . . . and the primary target is much closer than Megan suspects. |

Another one by Allison Brennan by Former Librarian (Washington)  4 Stars
November 24, 2009
Allison Brennan is a terrific writer. She never fails to deliver in her romance/ mysteries. She is very proflic, but leaves you wanting more at the end of each book. Her books are not blood and guts gory, but give you enough detail to make sense of the story line.

Good....BUT.... by Southern Belle (MS) 4 Stars
July 04, 2009
This was a good read, but not for the faint of heart. I was happy Jack got a story. We have received glimpses of him in previous books - intriguing, mysterious and a complete alpha male. His persona didn't change in this book, but it didn't seem there was enough character development of this strong hero as Ms. Brennan has done with her heroes in previous books. I think if the integration of both investigations was incorporated earlier in the book there wouldn't be the feel that the relationship between Jack and Meg was so "rushed." Overall, it was a very good read, fast paced, disturbing in parts, but suspenseful with plenty of twists and turns.

nice work by DM James (central MA USA)  5 Stars
May 27, 2009
this is the second book ive read of ms Brennan i like her style very much. She seems to have people in each book that you can relate to and not just these cookie cutter lives. I also enjoy how she seem to have a big plot and somehow always seem to tie a sub plot in involvin the main character. Evil minds are at work in this novel if you like fast paced easy one night reads this is for you.

Romantic Suspense? by A Reader  3 Stars
May 21, 2009
I've come to expect a lot out of this author, so I was very disappointed in this book.
First off, I found it very hard to get into, unlike her other books which normally draw me in from page one. And it seemed to go on forever, much of it being graphic details of torture that I really didn't need to read to that extent.
I also thought the relationship between Megan and Jack was too forced and too quick. They knew each other two days and suddenly Jack is ready to give his life for this woman, which didn't fit with the Jack we've met in other books. And a few days later, most of which is spent with one of the characters in the hospital, they're running off to Jack's family to get married. More development of this relationship and less graphic torture would've made this a much better book.

Slow starter by B. Armellino (Las Vegas, Nevada USA) 3 Stars
April 22, 2009
I am a big fan of Allison Brennan's novels. I have read all of them. SUDDEN DEATH was disappointing. It took me a long time to get into the story and at times I was confused as to what was going on. I will continue to read her novels, but I do not consider this one her best.
