One dead and several wounded including him. Now he is haunted by the last person he saw and is desperate to discover what went wrong. When he finds out the person he saw and killed was an American businessman he turns to the only person who can possibly help him fill in the blanks, the businessman's wife Lauren Collins.Lauren Collin's husband is a real prick. He left her and his twin sons for some model with a huge rack. As far as she is concerned he can't be her ex fast enough. Upon hearing of his death her life gets turned upside down. The house is broken into during the night and then ransacked. If that wasn't bad enough, it seems everyone is looking to her for answers regarding her husband.Jack arrives at Lauren's just in time to save her from men in ski masks. Now they are on the run. These people want information from her and will not stop until they get it. Can Jack and Lauren get to her boys before the bad guys do? More importantly can they unravel the mystery her husband left behind before it's too late?Collateral Damage is a complex story with many twists and turns that keep you riveted. Jack and Lauren share beautiful chemistry. The journey they go on showcases both characters' strengths and weaknesses. It is very exciting to watch these two navigate this scary world together.There is quite a bit going on in Collateral Damage. I was thrown a bit at the beginning when the story kept going from one place to another but I recovered quickly and got into this fast-paced thriller. Jack and Lauren may be the stars of this book but I was just as into the relationship between Roger and Mari. I cannot wait to see where their story goes.Collateral Damage is fraught with international intrigue. J.L. Saint has crafted a rather electrifying premise. Collateral Damage is a sexy, enticing thriller that packs a punch.MirandaReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
