About this ebook


Spanish interpreter Marisa Rodriguez didn't buy Tyler Murdoch's "I work alone" line or his feeling of superiority over the human race. When she was assigned to accompany Tyler on his covert mission in Central America to rescue his former commanding officer, Marisa vowed not to fall for another domineering Neanderthal. But hot nights and life—threatening danger brought Marisa and Tyler into close proximity and made their smoldering passion hard to resist. Soon they were at high risk of falling deeply in love…and never letting go!

    Synopsis:
    In order to rescue her brother from terrorists, Victoria Jones needs a hero and Marc Savin is just the man she is looking for. Marc, a former member of T-FLAC, is in no mood to help Victoria but he owes her brother and reluctantly agrees. The two soon find themselves fighting not only their enemies but their attraction to each other as well.

    Review:
    This is the revised version of the original Harlequin addition but from what I can gather there are few differences. Regardless, this is a quick, light, entertaining and romantic read.

    The plot is neither spectacular nor original but the characters more than make up for it. Tory is a lovable and self-deprecating dynamo. Despite her own reservations about her abilities, she has an amazing courage and resilience. Marc is a typical alpha male hero and I really enjoyed the way he falls so hard for someone he believes is “not his type”. Their chemistry sizzles.

    Adair’s writing is smooth and the dialogue never feels forced or lame as it often does in this type of story. This is a great beginning to the series and I look forward to reading more of them.

    Good -- not great, but there are a few books I consider great, so "good" is a decent recommendation. The Mercenary is an older book, revamped by Adair, featuring the founding character of her T-FLAC Series. What makes it good? Good writing, good plot, good sex appeal. Here's the bad news -- I didn't quite buy the romance. Victoria is an excellent character, fully-fleshed, and I totally get Marc's attraction to her. I could "see" him falling in lust and then love with her. But things on her end... not so much. I see the falling in lust, but not love. Maybe I just didn't like him. Sure he was manly and all, but his issues and crankiness didn't leave much room for love -- when he wasn't being a heckling jerk, that is. He was nicest to her whenever she was asleep or otherwise out of it. Shall we say, the only chance she had with him was when she was unconscious.

    It is obvious this is one of Adair's first attempts to write a novel, though it is not clear why it was published the first time, let alone why it was published a second time, with the author allegedly adding more to the story to enrich it. The first publication of this story revealed a breezy and lite romance, such as it is. Later books of Adair's are romantic, thought-out, hot, and good reads. This one is not. During what I can only assume was supposed to be a sex scene, the male character "rotates" the female character's nipples; I had to put the book down. Nipples are not radio knobs. Adair's writing has grown far better (of course, from this story, she only had up to go) than this. In addition, Adair added to this story to make it more coherent. It does not. The main character's long hair (which approaches fetish-like description throughout the novel) will be in a braid in one paragraph, and in the next, be flowing down her back. Many of the "clarifications" added to this edition leaves the reader flipping back, thinking she's missed some plot point or perhaps skipped a paragraph, or even, a whole chapter. An aggravating, confusing, and unintentional laugh-out loud book.
