Rescue Me by Christy Reece is the first book in the “Last Chance Rescue Enterprises” dual trilogy series. Publisher: Ballantine Books, April 2009

DARE TO SURVIVE

The first adventure in this action-packed, romantic suspense trilogy features a beautiful operative for an elite rescue organization, dealing with a rugged new partner, a dangerous mission …and her own secret past.

A covert operative of Last Chance Rescue Enterprises (LCR), Eden St. Claire has made secrets her life’s work. Seven years ago, an evening of emotional vulnerability and pure pleasure almost destroyed her. Now Eden wears her beauty like a mask, concealing any hint of vulnerability or demons of her past.

A daring rescue of an innocent girl on a Greek island leads Eden to a new partner. Jordan Montgomery, new to LCR, has been looking for Eden—though he knows her by another name, from another time. But his search for her is overshadowed by a case that’s gone international. A powerful, ruthless, organized network is stealing women and children around the world—as a lover, a traitor, and a killer all wait for Eden’s next move.

Devon loved and lost him. Tragedy struck and a new beginning was created. When teamed with a new partner only to discover he was her lost loved, how much will they both endure before their passion takes hold. This was a gripping mystery with plenty of suspense and romance that I couldn’t put down until the last page. Great story. My rating: 4 stars
