Johnnie
Riggs is hot on the trail of an elusive drug lord but he can’t keep his mind on
the job when he spies an exotic dancer who leaves him aching when he should be
concentrating on the drug lord. But this exotic dancer is more than a hot body
and a pretty face for she is determined to find her missing sister and if she
has to enlist the sexy army ranger to get the information she needs, even if he
drives her to desire. But when their two cases converge on one another, both Johnnie
and Amy will find that this is bigger than they even thought.
Kat
Martin delivers a action packed thrill ride from start to finish. AGAINST
THE NIGHT is latest installment in her Winds of Raines Canyon series and it
is one wild ride. We met Johnnie in Against the Storm and I really
enjoyed his character in that book. I was thrilled to see him front and center
in AGAINST THE NIGHT. The writing was tight, characters are intriguing
and the storyline delivers a few twists that had me gasping in shock.
Meet
Johnnie Riggs and Amy Brewer. A former army ranger turned private investigator
and a elementary schoolteacher shouldn’t have things in common but when Johnnie
meets Amy as she is masquerading as a stripper while he is on the job, sparks
fly and they are drawn together. But when Johnnie finds out Amy is trying to
find her missing sister, he tries to help her even as he tries to keep his
hands off of her. But what happens when both their cases end up converging and
that what they thought was a simple crime turns out to be something much more.
Can they survive it all to have their own happily ever after? What impressed me
in this latest installment was how the characters continue to evolve with each
book. Ms. Martin continues to give her readers strong characters that steal
their hearts. Johnnie is an alpha male hero whose head is turned by innocent
Amy who he thinks is a stripper. These two are perfect for one another and as
they draw closer even as they try to figure out the different twists and turns
that shadow them. The secondary characters keep the storyline moving and give
it some intriguing moments.
AGAINST
THE NIGHT
is a fast paced, edge of the seat thrill ride that you cannot put down and I
love Ms. Martin’s Raines of Wind Canyon series. Each book keeps getting better
and better and I, for one, can’t get enough of the series. If you are looking
for a story with a few twists and turns, engaging characters, mystery and
suspense, then I highly recommend this author’s Raines of Wind Canyon series. I
can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.
