DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: He’ll do anything to regain her trust. Even if it means putting his life on the line.

Growing up as the adoptive daughter of a wealthy and manipulative politician, Sela Mercer learned early on that trust was the only luxury she couldn't afford. Now, she lives and breathes for her job as an operative for the Committee—an organization working against the shady GovCorp, the research corporation that created genetically engineered humans like her. She is smart. She is tough. And she always rocks her ops alone.

Cruz Rivera's new mission in Rio de Janeiro as Sela "No Mercy" Mercer's backup is his own personal hell. With a local drug lord on his tail, Rio is the only place on the globe that holds zero love for him—not to mention that Sela hates his guts. He screwed up, but he’s hell-bent on proving to her that his past mistake doesn’t have to destroy their future.

But with a price on his head and a woman like Sela, he may only get one chance. Can he survive the favelas of Rio one more time and find a way to silence Sela's whispers of doubt?… (mer)

REVIEW: Genetically-engineered to have no remorse and no feelings, Jake has been reconditioned many times. And yet he is continually drawn to Kendra. He doesn’t realize how many connections they share as they both seek to undermine GovCorp, the company that created Jake. Beautifully drawn characters and a fast-paced array of plot twists make this a truly great book. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: He's a trained, genetically-engineered mercenary. She's a spy looking for answers. Falling for each other was never on their agenda.

Freelancing as a soldier for hire, Jake Hanson is ready to take down GovCorp, the ruthless corporation that created the mercenary that he is. But when he gets teamed up in the jungles of Africa with the fiery and determined Kendra Reed, Jake struggles with his mission. After all, he's not programmed to feel—but he's beginning to feel a hell of a lot for the feisty ex-soldier.

Kendra Reed works for GovCorp as a translator. But she has a hidden agenda. She's after the truth—and she'll stop at nothing to get it. Working with a genetically-engineered bad boy sparks intrigue in her. But the last thing Kendra needs is to be falling for someone like Jake.

As they face a deadly enemy, Jake and Kendra are forced to trust one another, while confronting the heated attraction that burns between them. With time running out and their adrenaline in overdrive, can they find a way to save themselves before it's too late?… (mer)
