Rating: 4 out of 5

A few months ago, I was introduced to V.R. Marks series, RC Investigations, and I have been hooked even since.Just finished The Hostage and I couldn't be more pleased! Since read the first book, The Thief, where we were  introduced to Eve Battaglia and Carson Morris, I have been looking forward to reading her story. While the first 2 books have a parallel time line, The Hostage takes place after that time and therefore can be read as a stand-alone.  But why not read the first two books?  They were outstanding.Eva is an ex-special forces analyst, who is a computer genius, working with former members of her old team at RC Investigations.  When it comes to tracking down information, Eva is your gal.  She lives for the challenge.  While recouping from an injury, she discovers that a mistake from her past military service has come came to destroyer her and those she cares about.Let me tell you, Eva is one tough cookie and if I liked her in the past 2 books, I fell in love with her in this book.  She is self-confident, smart, witty and faces her fears head on.  I want to be like her when I grow up!Carson Morris is the sheriff's deputy assigned to protect Eva.  Of course, Eva doesn't feel she needs a bodyguard till someone close to her is shot.  This is where their adventure begins along with their attraction to each other.  It was refreshing to see that Eva and Carson both knew what they wanted and went for it, without a bunch of angst and denial.  There were some really sweet and tender moments between these two people as they were trying to keep Eva safe.True to form, V.R. Marks, filled this story with his trade mark roller coaster riding suspense.  And I enjoy every minute of the ride.Now to my only complaint, a personal note to Mr. Marks, when do we get to read Bart's story? *smiles*
