Review: action and romance!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I received this book for an honest reviewLet me just say Josh Lanyon writes great thrillers that combine fast action, emotionally engaging characters and passionate romances. I adore his Adrien English mystery series, but I haven't had the chance to read his Dangerous Ground series about two Diplomatic Security Agents who seem to find trouble where ever they go. Their friendship is strong, but one of them, Taylor McAllister, is secretly in love with the other. Unrequited love anyone? Yes, please!Kick Start is book #5 in the series so if you like to read in order to avoid spoiling you don't want to start here like I did. This is definitely a transition book. The first four books close out the main story arc and a new one is beginning for the two guys. And it starts with meeting the parents!(If you don't want relationship spoilers for the series now is the time to stop reading and pick up book #1 Dangerous Ground...shoo!)Will and Taylor's new business adventure isn't going well and the guys are still adjusting to living together when Will needs to go home and see his brother. It is time for Will to come out to his family and introduce them to the man he is going to spend the rest of his life with. Who takes the news well and who doesn't? Not going to tell, you have to read to find out. And it wouldn't be an action story without bad guys trying to hurt the people Will and Taylor love. There are touching moments between all the characters and lots of humor with Cousin Denis.This is a novella, but it read way too fast for me. It was over before I knew it! I did have a hard time picturing the guys and keeping their names straight at first because I wasn't familiar with them, and it is written with the assumption you've read the first 4. But I soon picked it up and was able to picture them in my head. I loved the characters Will and Taylor and can't wait to start this one at the beginning of the series.[...]
