Hot New Item: Against All Odds by Irene Hannon

Irene Hannon's Against All Odds is definitely the new hot item in the romantic suspense category!

So, what can I say about this book? Sitting on the edge of my seat, not wanting to go to bed because the book was so good and I had to finish it, thinking I was reading Dee Henderson again... yep, that sums it up!

A life-and-death crisis throws three major characters together causing sparks to fly (in more ways than one!).

Monica Callahan concentrates on her career and her professional appearance. Anything that gets in her way is just a huge inconvenience that she'll deal with in her own way. If it means change, forget about it. She's also a highly perceptive person seeing behind the facades many put up.

Evan Cooper is hard-nosed, well-trained FBI Hostage Rescue Team member. His main goal is to just do his job and protect whoever is in danger. Unfortunately, his job means disrupting Monica's life. He's not good with words and expressing himself which often results in a blunder. Because of his training, he doesn't like revealing details about himself, something Monica needs him to do.

David Callahan is Monica's estranged father who works as a hostage negotiator. Even though he has highly acclaimed skills dealing with delicate situations, he failed to negotiate his only family. Now he realizes his choices weren't the best and wants to make amends before it's too late.

What happens to these three?

Monica refuses to be intimidated by a related terrorist threat back in the States…until a chilling warning convinces her that the danger is very real—and escalating. As Coop and his partner do their best to keep her safe, David Callahan continues his work in the Middle East—triggering an abduction that puts his daughter’s life at risk. And with every second that ticks by, Coop knows that the odds of saving the only woman who has ever managed to breach the walls around his heart are dropping. Because terrorists aren’t known for their patience—or their mercy.
