Rating: 4 out of 5
I'm a huge fan of romantic suspense but a really good one can be hard to find in my opinion. I've got my go-to women who are just queens of the genre and now it looks like I've added another author to that list. Hot damn! I love when that happens! This was my first book by Davis and as soon as I turned that last page I was hopping over to Goodreads to add all of the rest of them to my buy list.
Double Danger leaned more towards the suspense side than the romance side of things but I still loved it. It was fast, action packed, had me intrigued and loving every second of it. And the romance side of things? While not a huge focus of the story was nicely done and had me falling for Simon and JJ.
Because the romance was more a secondary storyline there weren't too many steamy scenes but what was there was GOOD! Like make-you-pant good ;) I really liked both JJ and Simon and that they had a past together. They did end up being one of those couple that I wanted to shake and do the whole "Come. On. You. Two! Talk. Dammit!!" They're both fighting demons from the past that'll break your heart a bit and that involve the other but the two just couldn't seen to get it all out in the open with the other. Took them a while to finally get with the program but thank the stars they finally did.
I really loved how Davis actually wrote the story. It was so easy to get lost in the investigation and hunt for the people behind the terrorist attacks. I really felt like I was sitting around the table with the team when they were mulling over things and talking all the details out. Fantastic writing. She also gave just enough so you know what's going on but still having questions about how it all ties together just like the team does. I loved that and how it kept me a little on edge the whole time.
So, in the end...excellent suspense with a nice side of romance and a damn sexy cover. Perfect for getting your heart racing and your blood pumping. I'll definitely be back for more of Davis and the A-Tac team.
What say you? Have you tried Davis and the A-Tac team? Whatcha think of em?
i haven't tried this author yet but i quite enjoy romantic suspense so this could be a good book for me^^ and since you loved it ^^ it even gain point in my wishlist^^
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you enjoy it Miki! I was really nicely surprised and I loved the cover that went with it. She's one I'm keeping an eye out for at work and when her books come in I'm grabbing them up :)
DeleteOh this sounds awesome! I am in asuspense kick lately so this will fit right in.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read too many recently but got this one for review. It definitely reminded me why I love the genre! Hope you enjoy them!
DeleteBeen reading the A-Tac series since the beginning. Loved all the books which have felt like they were all working up to the next in the series. Avery's - cannot wait!!
ReplyDeleteOh good to hear they're all good. I can't wait to go back to the beginning and check them all out :)
DeleteI have not - but I am going going to! Do they have to go in order, if you know?
ReplyDeleteNah you're good in any order I think. I started with this one which was book 6 and had no problems at all. You meet the earlier couples but nothing confusing or anything starting late in the series.
DeleteI actually got this off NetGalley but couldn't get through the 1st chapter, but that was when I was in a reading slump. I may go back and give this a try after seeing your review, although I"m not sure I like the whole shaking JJ and Simon part lol
ReplyDeleteLOL they just needed a little shove sometimes ;)
DeleteI've had books like that before Ning. One of them it took me 3 tries and on that 3rd attempt I couldn't put the thing down. Guess I just wasn't in the right mood before.
If you get through it let me know what ya think :)
