Review: A suspenseful and steamy thrill ride!

**I received an ARC of this book in exchange for this honest review**With this second installment in her Agents of TRAIT suspense romance series, Ms. deLaney has confirmed that she has a true mastery of the art of the novella. Novellas, by their very nature, are often unsatisfying and under-developed – but not with this series. Each character is fully realized and the conflict is intense, yet brought to us in a delightfully smaller package that allows for enjoyment on any schedule.The series premise is perfectly suited for this format, in that each installment (so far) is a high-stakes standalone mission that gets the reader’s heart racing, right along with the steamy romance. As with book one, there are lots of twists and turns, but Ms. deLaney still developed the romance perfectly. That is no small feat, indeed. I often find that suspense romances can’t bring the goods with both sides of that coin, but this series balances that dichotomy expertly.You could certainly read this book on its own, but Gaming for Keeps was one of my favorite books of 2013 and I highly recommend you one-click that one, too. I’m thrilled to hear that there will be at least one more book in this series. I wish there were dozens more, and a TV show! And if Ms. deLaney or Entangled are reading this review – please write a novella about Josh, he seems complex and definitely hero-worthy.
