Deadly Dance - Dee Davis

Book Blurb:
As the intelligence officer for A-Tac, a black-ops CIA unit masquerading as Ivy League faculty, Hannah Marshall is used to working behind the scenes. But when a brutal murder hits too close to home, Hannah finds herself in the middle of the action, falling in love while racing to outwit a sadistic mastermind.

A KILLER CLOSES IN
After the death of her A-Tac partner, Hannah doubts everything she thought she knew about love and loyalty. When handsome Harrison Blake joins the team, she's reluctant to trust him - or to act on her intense attraction to him. Then Hannah receives a podcast of a gruesome murder, and the only person who can help her find the killer is Harrison.

Harrison has spent years trying to hunt down the cunning monster who killed his sister. Now investigating with Hannah, he faces a shocking possibility - his sister's murderer has resurfaced. As the danger escalates, Hannah and Harrison grow closer, the desire simmering between them ignites. And when Hannah disappears, Harrison has only one chance to save the woman he loves.

In My Own Words:
After the murder of her good friend and partner plus the betrayal of someone on their team, trust is no longer given as easily as it once was, and even then it wasn't given freely.  Hannah is the free spirit on the team, someone everyone loves, but when a sadistic killer sends her TA a gruesome video, the person that Hannah turns to for help is Harrison.

Harrison has skeletons in his own closet to try and protect, and this killer seems like he is opening the door on all of his secrets, which can mean only one thing...HE is the target, but why now?  It will take everything the team has to flush out this guy, but when Hannah is taken, Harrison must risk it all to save the woman he loves.

Review:
It is no secret that I love this series, and I have been waiting for Hannah's story, and I wasn't disappointed.    She seems to be the little sister of the group, someone that everyone looks after, so I knew it would take a special someone to break down some of her defense walls.  Lots of twists and turns in the plot, and when you think you have it figured out, another twist is thrown in there, just for good measure.  I felt the flow of the book was great, the characters were awesome, and we got to catch up a little with other members.  Some parts of the story seemed REALLY predictable though, like when Hannah was finally taken, you could see that coming from a mile away.  But really that would be my only gripe.  Otherwise, I loved the story as much as the rest of the series.  I am highly intrigued by Simon, and can't wait for his story.

Deep Disclosure - Dee Davis

Book Blurb:
After spending years in prison under deep cover, black ops agent Tucker Flynn joins A-Tac, an elite CIA unit masquerading as faculty at an Ivy League college.Nothing can shake him-except a vulnerable young woman marked for death.

DUAL DECEPTION

When Tucker is assigned to protect-and secretly investigate-Alexis Markham, he expects a routine mission. But this mysterious beauty has a past even darker than his: her father created a horrifying new biochemical weapon-and was murdered to keep it secret.

Alexis has spent the last decade racing to stay one step ahead of the shadowy operatives who will stop at nothing to possess her father's formula. She can trust no one, not even her handsome new bodyguard. But the heat that flares between them is impossible to resist. Will giving in to passion bring her the safety she's always craved, or will her love for Tucker draw him into a killer's sights?

In My Own Words:
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time.  When Tucker figures out he has become a creature of habit, he figures one last cup of coffee won't kill him.  As he sits in his favorite booth, at his favorite coffee shop, he can't help but think of how far he has come since his break from the prison.  Breaking in to his thoughts, a beautiful woman comes in to meet with an older man and they seem very happy to see each other.  Soon, Tucker can tell the conversation has goon awry, and the woman stalks out of the coffee shop angry.  Before Tucker can even begin to process what just happened, a bomb is detonated blowing away the man and part of the coffee shop.

While watching the TV, a news alert informs Alexis that George, he one time friend and father figure, has been blown up.  Being on the run her whole life, she sees this as a sign that it is time to move on, and change her name, again.

When A-Tac sees this as an opportunity to put some very bad guys away, they seize the opportunity and assign Tucker as Alexis' protection.  But with so many bad guys on the loose and all of them intent on killing or kidnapping her, who can she really trust?

Review:
This is the 5th book in the A-Tac series.  I am not sure how Ms. Davis can top this one.  The book has it all.  Bad guys coming from each direction, even so far as to kill each other, you have a formula that everyone wants, but no one knows where it is.  There is an amazing love story that seems so fragile yet so meant to be.  Then you have all of the A-Tac players back and helping keep justice, still reeling from their own betrayal.  When I first started reading, I was SURE I knew who done it, but I was completely wrong.  I was also SURE I knew what the key was to the formula, and again....wrong.  I love when I find out along with the team, makes the book more enjoyable to me.  I really can't wait for Hannah and Harrison's book, coming April 2012.
