    About this audiobook

    THE PAST PROVED DEADLY...
    No one knows the dangers of getting close to legendary CIA Black Ops specialist John Medina better than communications expert Niema Burdock. Five years ago, she and her husband worked with Medina on an explosive mission that ended in tragedy. Although she has slowly recovered from her terrible loss, Niema planned never to see Medina again. Until now.
    HISTORY IS ABOUT TO REPEAT ITSELF....
    A French arms dealer is supplying international terrorists, and only Niema can plant the bugs needed to crack the deadly ring. Against her best instincts, she infiltrates the dealer's glamorous world. But when the plan goes awry, Niema and Medina must take flight in a strange land -- and soon find their partnership sparked by an erotic charge. In a world of deception, John Medina has once again set Niema on a free fall into danger...and into desire like she's never known.

    • 3/5
      Still one of my favourites - even though an older book.
    • 4/5
      Powerful beginning and an exciting action packed ending to this romantic suspense. I liked all the multiple facets of the characters but sometimes there were too many overly descriptive details. Five years after their first meeting, CIA agent John wants communications expert Niema to join him on his next mission.
    • 3/5
      A good story but riddled with implausible twists and turns, NOT due exclusively to technological advancements made since 1999.
    • 3/5
      Five years ago Niema Burdock lost her husband and John Medina gave the order that led to her husband's death, in front of her. Niema lives in Washington, still working for the spooks, but in a nice safe position, developing electronics for the espionage community.John Medina has an opportunity to use her again, to be near her again, to confront his feelings about her and he's not sure if he can stop himself from getting involved with her. Will she let him near her.It's not a bad read, the two characters are quite well drawn I'm just not sure that Linda Howard really filled in the dots as to why they ended up as a couple.
    • 3/5
      If espionage really takes place the way Linda Howard writes it in this novel, then it's no wonder the CIA had everything wrong about Saddam Hussein. The first half of the book is okay, but after that it goes steadily downhill into an ending that had me laughing so hard I could barely turn the pages. Maybe people would enjoy this as a beach read, but don't quote me on that.
    • 3/5
      Niema is a CIA operative on assignment in the Middle East with her husband, Dallas, also a CIA operative. They have only been married a short time, and Niema is devastated when the job goes awry and Dallas is killed. Darrell Tucker, aka John Medina, also a Company man, helps her get out of the country safely. Five years later, Medina is still unable to get Niema out of his mind, so when he has the opportunity to bring her in on a job, he snatches it. Niema has been playing it safe these last five years, having quit fieldwork altogether, she has developed a virtually untraceable bug. As the two live through very dangerous situations, their passion for each other is brought to a boil. A fast-paced and exciting, relatively believable plot, coupled with smoldering chemistry make this a very enjoyable read. The two main characters are quite complex, both with a lot of emotional baggage to work through in a very short period of time and while in a hazardous environment. The characters motivations and choices seem genuine, although there are some times where I thought, “If he’s worked so hard over the years to conceal his identity, why would he….” The writing style is fair to good, with only a few places where I was irritated by the sentence structure. Overall, a worthwhile read for fans of romantic suspense.
