"Fine romantic suspense thriller"
The "package" was supposed to be secure in an FBI safe
house in the American northwest, but the enemy penetrated
security. Two agents are dead and the package that
Agent "Aunt Moira" was personally guarding before they
killed her is gone. Though still recovering from rib
injuries, no one knows Washington State like Navy Seal
Hawk Mackenzie. He tracks the killers to recover
the "package", Princess, a Koala bear. Hawk thinks these pros will not head to Canada, but
instead will remain local. He goes to a hotel only to
find a woman with a fake identity taking a shower in his
room. He assumes she is one of the thieves; he knocks her
out. The woman turns out to be hotel investigator Jess
Mulcahey working an undercover room switch testing a
clerk's management potential. The civilian is caught in
the recovery effort that pits Commandos against killers.
Bullets fly everywhere, but the most dangerous person to
Jess' well being is the SEAL who knocked her out when they
first met as she and Hawk fall in love while teaming up in
the CODE NAME: PRINCESS scenario. The sequel to CODE NAME: NANNY is an exhilarating tale
starring the twin sister of the first tale's heroine and
the best friend of the male protagonist from that novel.
The story line is action, action, and more action though
the readers will appreciate the feistiness and
intelligence of Jess. Hawk is more typical of the hero of
the romantic suspense thriller, a hunk who hooks the
audience. The Skye is the limit for an author who
provides a taut thriller starring two characters that fans
will appreciate. Harriet Klausner
