Mortification Scale: 3 Tomato Faces
- 2 TFs for being a Romance novel
- 3rd for an embarrassing cover
- Awesome Special Forces hero
- Cool circus performing heroine
- Paranormal romance, which I happen to love
This book is the 4th in a paranormal military series by Christine Feehan, one of the hottest new authors in the genre. The opening scene is Jack Norton being tortured in the Democratic Republic of Congo by a rebel group. He escapes, kills his torturers, and manages to make his way through the jungle to the outskirts Kinshasa, where he meets Briony, a trapeze artist performing with her 4 brothers for a music festival. Briony saves Jack's life and takes him back to her hotel where their intense chemistry takes over. It turns out that Jack and Briony were literally made for each other. They were bioengineered by a Dr Peter Whitney to have the eyesight of a heat-sensing eagle, the skin of a chameleon, and superhuman physical and psychical powers. They also have a fantastic sense of smell making them particularly susceptible to each other's pheromones. It's not a huge shock that she turns up preggers.
Jack has already been extracted from Kinshasa and returned to the US. He did not handle the separation smoothly and left Briony with the strong impression that he never wanted to see her again. However, when strange men attacked her and her brothers trying to kidnap Briony and her unborn child, Briony had no choice but to turn to Jack for protection. Jack and his twin brother, Ken welcome Briony to their home in Montana and indeed protect her when the same those same men come for her once again. They all make it through and decide to join up with the group of enhanced soldiers and superchicks from the 3 previous novels in the series. I think that I'm going to Borders tonight for the next book.
