Come As You Are

December 15, 2007
A simple covert mission gone bad off the coast of Cuba for Logan Chambliss and his men is only a prelude for the next one, where they are hired to retrieve or take out Ramos, a rogue CIA agent impersonating the vice president of Venezuela. The fact that Logan blames Ramos for the death of the woman he loved makes the job all the sweeter, until they are captured and he learns that Tessa is still alive when she frees them. On the trail of the vice-presidents wife, who arranged the assassination of her own husband to get power in the country for herself, they are obsessively chased by Diego Salazar, the head of the Venezuelan secret police. What they discover is a plot that goes far beyond one countrys borders. More thriller than romance, this genre-blend is a breathless book with many secrets within secrets, making the point at which they are revealed very satisfying, along with the sex.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
