Maya Banks’
seventh KGI novel, FORGED IN STEELE, is a steamy mix of strong emotions and
surprises.
KGI team
leader Steele is devoted to his job and has no time for emotional entanglements.
But somehow Dr. Maren Scofield, a mission doctor that has helped Steele’s team
from time to time, has gotten under his skin.
Now danger is at Maren’s doorstep and Steele has made it his mission to
see her safe.
Maya Banks’
FORGED IN STEELE has everything a good romantic suspense should have, strong characters
with great chemistry who have to overcome some dicey situations with bad guys
before living happily ever after. Yet
something is missing. Steele certainly
meets the tall, dark and handsome strong military type requirement. Maren is an independent woman helping people
in need in a foreign country. She is
easy to like and it isn’t hard to imagine her attraction to Steele. What is a little harder to swallow is
Steele’s sudden announcement out of nowhere, after several encounters between
the characters where Steele has spoken only a few sparse words to Maren, that
he is attracted to her and plans to have sex with her. However, the chemistry is there. The minor characters, the other members of
Steele’s KGI team, are a bit on the saccharin side and do little to add to the
story. Yet, the dicey situations with
bad guys are certainly present and the tension continues to build. And in the end, readers will be happy to see
these two lovers get their happily ever after.
Though
FORGED IN STEELE may not be the best of the seven KGI stories in print, it is
still a hot and steamy romantic suspense that is sure to find its way into the
summer reading pile of many genre fans.
