NO WAY OUT (TREX) by Allie K. Adams runs 37 pages (minus front- and end-matter).  This captivating TREX Brief tells a compelling story of terrorism, a very evil villain, and the team of heroes who *will* bring him down.  This is my first read by Ms. Adams and my first exposure to the TREX series...and I believe this short can stand alone.  It also piqued my interest in reading the rest of the series.The story telling is strong, a page-turner, and illustrates the strength of the main characters.  I loved the inclusion of minor characters (the children and wife) who were not quite what they seemed.  The attraction between Steve and Jo was believable and their motivations clear.Unfortunately, the book needed one more read by a capable editor.  I stumbled across three significant typos/errors that pulled me out of the story and made me remember I wasn't in Tahiti with time running out and a with hero walking into serious danger.  Specifics: admiral vs. admirable, Stever (come on! his name is Steve), think vs. thing.  Little things that could've easily been caught prior to publishing.  I admit having a brain wired to see misuses of language is *my* handicap....and despite these small errors, the book was an incredibly enjoyable read.Sensuality Level: SpicyLanguage: Rated R (just what one would expect from a military-based contemporary....*all* language included)Recommended to fans of military romance, fans of action/thrillers, and those who love a powerful and quick read.
