"Tongue in cheek romantic suspense thriller"
Bureau of American Defense Agent (BAD) Sydney Westbrook
knows she must find the right person for the job, but need
to do it quickly. She needs a sniper willing to quietly
kill an enemy agent before that combatant assassinates a
key international figure, who has kept nuclear weapons
away from terrorists, during a peace conference held in
the United States. Her sister agent Tee informs Sydney
that she has just the man for her though there is a slight
bump. Former soldier Joshua Daniel Steele is a resident
of Leavenworth for shooting his CO. Sydney thinks this
guy has the perfect BAD ATTITUDE profile although she
knows cons carry a lot of emotional baggage. At first sight Sydney and JD are ready to kill one
another, which climaxes in a sexual encounter. As they
struggle to keep their attraction out of their business
relationship of her spotting for him top make the kill,
they begin to fall in love. However, first there remains
stopping a professional killer so that nuclear weapons
remain out of the hands of terrorists. BAD ATTITUDE is a tongue in cheek romantic suspense
thriller starring two crazy combatants who get smart about
life by falling in love with one another. Fans will enjoy
this fine tale, which has a serious undertone dealing with
nuclear weapons ending up in the wrong hands (not just
Iran or North Korea, but Al Qaeda, etc.). Still this is
an action-packed light hearted farce in which readers will
wonder how safe the world will be if the lead couple have
offspring. Harriet Klausner
