Book Review: Dangerous Desires

Summary from GoodReads: A-Tac is an elite CIA unit masquerading as faculty at an Ivy League college. Brilliant, badass, and seemingly bulletproof, the members of A-Tac are assigned to the riskiest missions and the most elusive targets.

When the CIA learns that Madeline Reynard, the mistress of international crime-lord Miguel Ramón, can provide the location of a newly developed bio-chemical weapon, they contact A-Tac. And A-Tac survivalist Drake Flynn is given the responsibility of extracting Madeline from Ramón's compound, finding the weapon, and transporting them both to a secure location.

A woman with nothing to lose, Madeline is willing to risk everything to escape her life with Ramón - even a dangerous trek through the jungle with a man who makes no secret of his disdain. Madeline had an impoverished and dangerous childhood, and she makes no apologies for the life she's led, but despite mutual animosity, she cannot deny her attraction to Drake.

As Drake and Madeline battle their personal demons, the team races against the clock to locate the hidden weapon. But Ramón and his men are never far behind. And when the couple are separated from the others, what began as a simple extraction becomes a battle for their very survival, with the two of them forced to rely on each other - or die.

My Review: This is a great book of inner turmoils, inner trust issues and survival with what you are given.

Drake finds himself in more danger than he's ever been in. He has to keep away from mercenaries after retrieving Madeline from prison. However, she turns out to be more of an issue than those that may want to kill them. She's attracted to him, he feels she's trying to manipulate him.

She has himself questioning why all the killing is so normal to him, why it's just a days work.

Does her attraction to him fall through? Do they go their separate ways? Will they learn to trust each other...and maybe a few others along the way?
