There are some books that you can just breeze through. Then there are those books that you have to read slowly so you get every single word, so you can absorb every single portion of the book. This new release I was able to review,Taking Fire by Cindy Gerard, is one of those books you just have to read slowly and savor.

Betrayal. Retribution. Redemption?
Six years ago, tough-as-nails military contractor Bobby Taggart met the woman of his dreams in war-torn Kabul—a sexy, whip-smart war correspondent who approached him at a local bar, took him to bed, made him fall in love…and then mysteriously disappeared. In her wake, the terrorist leader he’d been mining for valuable intel was assassinated—then Bobby discovered his phone had been bugged. And he’s pretty damn sure he’s been played for a fool.
Now, a covert security mission for the U.S. Embassy in Oman unexpectedly reunites him with Talia Levine, the woman who betrayed him and broke his heart. And there’s one more secret she hasn’t told him—one that will change his world. But as the heat of anger mixes with a still-simmering passion, dangerous forces close in, their sights set on Talia. Trust is the only way they will survive—but with their lives in the balance, can Bobby risk trusting her again?
My Thoughts on Taking Fire
I have become a huge fan this author. This is only my second or third book by her but I am addicted. She has the magic touch when it comes to combining military action with smoking hot alpha males. She gives each vulnerability and with this book, Bobby was very vulnerable, not to mention smitten with Talia, even after her betrayal. With plenty of steamy hot scenes, military action, intense thrills and suspense you cringe with, this book has it all.
However, this book isn’t just about action and romance. It also shows that everyone needs somebody. Being brave enough to let go and allow a connection to develop while letting your feelings shine through isn’t just for women.
This was a emotional read in many ways. You’re able to connect so closely with the characters. Your heart is in your throat and on your sleeve, right along with them. I think that’s why this is has just become one of my favorite books I have read in a long time.
Cindy Gerard is the queen of suspense military action romance, my favorite genre, and this book a shining example of the reason why. Just cannot get enough of Bobby or this authors writing!
