US Marshals Aiden Yazzie and Charlotte “Charlie” Killinger have been partners for several years. When a witness in a high-profile case was kidnapped they were framed for the crime. Aiden and Charlie went on the run. Hiding from both the good guys and the bad was not easy. This was not the best time to finally admit their attraction.
Even though I didn’t care for Charlie, I liked watching the romance between her and Aiden develop. I liked Aiden. He was so kind and patient. Just a delightful character all around. Much of the time, I did find myself feeling sorry for the guy! Having had a difficult childhood, it was understandable that Charlie was unwilling to give in to her attraction. So many things happened to keep them apart but they worked through everything together.
I have to say that I had mixed feelings about this book. I liked the suspense but the romance, not so much. This book kicks off with tons of action, and the suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire story.
Witness Security Breach is the second book in Juno Rushdan’s Hardcore Justice Series. It can be read as a stand-alone title. There is some slight crossover with characters from book one, but there’s just enough backstory thrown in that it’s not going to detract from this one.
Action, action, and more action. Oh and lots of suspense. And romance. So really, it has the trifecta of romantic suspense perfection. The plot is fast-paced and keeps you guessing until the end. This book is just one more reason that I reach for Juno Rushdan’s books when I’m looking for fast-paced action, suspense, thrills, chills, and romance. I’d say she’s thoroughly cemented herself as a great romantic suspense author.
NICUnurse’s Rating: I give Witness Security Breach by Juno Rushdan 5 out of 5 stars!
I loved getting these characters from the first book. Highly trained all around. The Navajo thread was such a cool part. This story completely took turns I wasn’t expecting. I like how there is a thread of continuity throughout the books in this series. There is steam.
Juno Rushdan is such a great writer who knows how to catch her audience. In this story we see how different law enforcement agencies can work together or in this case be ready to feed their employees to the wolves. Instead of telling you the story I highly recommend that you read the book Trust me I Am enjoying these books and author.
Fantastic book that kept me glued to the pages from the first page to the last. Aiden and Charlie are members of the US Marshals’ Special Operations Group and have the reputation of always getting their man. When a fellow marshal’s betrayal puts all of the people in Witness Protection at risk (see Hostile Pursuit), Aiden and Charlie must act fast to move a high-profile witness. Unfortunately, they are ambushed, a fellow marshal killed, and their witness kidnapped. Aiden and Charlie are accused of the murder and kidnapping and go on the run to recover their witness and clear their names.
Complicating matters is the attraction that has simmered between Aiden and Charlie from the moment they met. Both have tried to bury the attraction to protect their work relationship. But with their careers and lives at stake, those feelings intensify. Aiden has loved Charlie for years, waiting patiently for her to be ready to accept his love and all it means. Charlie has her reasons for resisting her feelings, convinced that she couldn’t be what Aiden needs. I ached for them when he finally said something, and the resulting confrontation crushed them both. Nearly losing each other motivated them to work through the obstacles keeping them apart. I loved the epilogue and seeing the changes in Charlie.
The suspense of the story was terrific. From the moment the extraction went bad to the final confrontation, the action never let up. I loved Aiden and Charlie’s partnership and how their strengths complemented each other. I had to laugh at Aiden’s reactions to some of Charlie’s “skills.” The descriptions of their actions each step of the way made me feel like I was in the middle of the action. The final confrontation was intense and kept me on the edge of my seat until it was all over. The epilogue provided a hint as to what is coming in the next book.
fantastic book!!!!
