WOW I'M LOVING THIS SERIES,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Take No Prisoners (Mass Market Paperback)
TAKE NO PRISONERS is another WOW read from Cindy Gerard's fantastic Black-Ops BOI's. This cleverly written story starts off with a bang and just keeps on going. Filled with action and suspense a-plenty Gerard whisks the reader to exotic locations filled with car chases, shootouts and several wicked bad guys all trying to out smart each other over a damn big diamond. Somehow our couple still manages to get in some passionate yet tender love scenes and with a whole team of interesting secondary characters this is everything you want in romantic suspense.Ever since her divorce and a few subsequent bad dates Abbie Hughes no longer trusts men, besides between going to school, worrying about her wayward younger brother and working nights as a Vegas blackjack dealer who has the time? Her one vice would have to be her wild girlfriend Crystal but even she can't persuade Abbie to let loose. All that changes the night Sam Lang sits down at one of her tables, On the outside he appears to be a shy rancher who just happens to look mighty fine in a pair of Wranglers but Sam Lang is much more. Sam, a recently retired member of Black-Ops Inc is on a vengeful quest to find the international crime lord who murdered his sister. His leads have brought him to Abbie and her brother Cory who he suspects are involved in a lucrative gem smuggling business and working with Nader, the man responsible. To find Nader Sam is going to have to use Abbie however the more he gets to know her the less convinced he is that she's involved and the harder its getting to fight the growing attraction between them. When Cory goes missing in Honduras Sam and Abbie are forced to work together to locate him and on Sam's end obtain his ultimate goal, revenge. Together with the entire Black-Ops team they head into the Honduran backcountry using Abbie as the bait and with Sam now willing to lay down his life to protect her revenge may just have to wait. I will admit that I didn't fall for our hero Sam nearly as hard as I did for Gabe from book #1 SHOW NO MERCY however as a whole this story is much tighter and could easily be read as a stand alone. I should also mention how much I'm loving the ending chapters in this series, Gerard doesn't just tie the story together into a neat little happily-ever-after she leaves you hanging until the very last minute then follows through providing us with a glimpse of our couples future and I love that. Here we also get an update on my wannabe boyfriend Gabe from the last book (he's doing fine now thanks)

Excellent romantic suspense,
By Laurie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take No Prisoners (Mass Market Paperback)
Sam Lang, ex-Delta Force sniper, is on a mission to find the man responsible for the death of his sister and her husband. When Cory Hughes's name repeatedly comes up as a mole for the deadly Frederick Nader, Sam goes after Cory's sister, Abbie, for information. Sam and Abbie hit it off immediately, making it that much more painful for Abbie to know that she has been used by Sam for information. Abbie claims to know nothing about Cory's involvement with Nader, but admits that she is extremely concerned for him. It doesn't take long for Sam to realize that Abbie is much stronger than she looks and when she insists on being part of the search for Cory in Honduras, the danger level rises significantly.Abbie should have known from the get-go that Sam Lang was too good to be true. Good looks, subtle charm and gentle hands - how could she resist? When she discovers that his interest in her was feigned in the search for her brother, she is crushed. That is, until she got mad. When she joins forces with Sam in the search for Cory, she's introduced to a way of life that she never even knew existed, and has no choice but to put her life in Sam's capable hands. The quality of romantic suspense by Cindy Gerard can be matched by few. Abbie and Sam are both damaged and so desperately in need of each other's love. The suspense is intense, as is the romance. Sam is out for vengeance, but doesn't let it blind him against how perfect a future with Abbie could be. I highly recommend this book to all who love the excitement and intrigue of well-written romantic suspense. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Love these books.,
By denak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take No Prisoners (Mass Market Paperback)
I have just recently discovered Cindy Gerard and ever since, I have steadily gone through all of her books. The easy banter, the feeling and the pacing all make these books great.And even though this might sound strange, one of the things I like about these books is that she doesn't sugar coat combat. The men in these books suffer both physically and mentally and I think that realism is a bigger tribute to our men and women in service them books that portray them as killing machines or impervious superheros. (although there is a little of the impervious superhero bit in some of the books.) As for this particular book, I loved Sam and Abbie. The ending is a bit too neat regarding Cory but it works and I enjoyed the "happily ever after." Dena 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Take No Prisoners,
By D.M. (Lover of all things Heart) "laugh a lot... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take No Prisoners (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my first book by this author, and I liked it. I was torn between giving it "3" stars or "4" stars. Then I ended up deciding on "4" stars because I feel the the pros outweigh the cons, for the most part.Abbie Hughs is a blackjack dealer working in one of the casinos in Vagus. She has been divorced for two years (cheating ex-husband), and she is now studying and working, so as to rebuild her life. She is also waiting to hear from her brother Cory, worried because she hasn't heard from him in two days (he contacts her every day), and has no idea why or what's going on. Sam Lang used to work for Black Ops, but now he is living in seclusion on his ranch after the death of his sister and her husband by the hands of a terrorist organization, as a warning to Sam. Sam can't shake the guilt he feels about his sister's death. Getting a new lead, brought to him by Reed, one of the Black Ops operatives, Sam can't pass this opportunity to catch his sister's murderer, Nader. But this new information leads directly to Cory Hughs. Finding Cory's sister in Vagus, Sam decides that the best way of action is to seduce Cory's sister (whom he is convinced knows of her brother's shady dealings), and gain her trust so that she would tell him everything she knows. And so the story starts, as Sam seduces Abbie and then breaks her heart. Then Abbie convinces Sam to take her with them (using the stolen diamonds as leverage, after she finds out that her brother had mailed them to her). So she will help Sam and the group to catch Nader (because he wants those diamonds badly), if they help her rescue her brother to safety. I liked how Sam was protective of Abbie. I really liked how Abbie and Sam were serious about each other, (Abbie has been celibate ever since her divorce, and Sam hasn't been with a woman for a long time). I liked that it didn't take Sam the whole book to realize that Abbie meant a lot to him, and that he loved her. I admired that he risked his life to keep his word to her, so as to gain her trust again. Both Sam and Abbie were likable h/h. But while this is an enjoyable read, it lacked the emotional punch that should have been there in several parts of this story. One example is when Abbie found out that Sam had used her. I saw her pain, but I couldn't feel it, it's like the author told me but didn't really show me. Also Abbie's friend Crystal (while I admired her loyalty and good friendship to Abbie) came off as slutty. Also, there was one gross scene with "Fox" another vile villain, which I thought was really unnecessary and just icky. In conclusion, I enjoyed this book. Despite those things that bugged me, a good read. |
