The last installment in the One-Eyed Jacks series closes it out strong! Taking Fire is a second chance at love story with heat and action. I appreciate that Cindy Gerard is such a capable writer, that her books are always balanced between action/suspense/romance. Taking Fire could stand alone, however characters appear from prior books so I suggest that you read them in order so as not to be spoiled. Fans of Suzanne Brockmann, Lori Foster, and Maya Banks action romances would definitely enjoy this series.

As a member of the Mossad, Talia obviously puts her own life in danger for the organization she adores. But she never expects that in seducing a hardened warrior to bring her closer to her target that she will fall in love with him in a week.

I thought the set up would be a quick hello-and-goodbye deal because well, that’s really what a lot of other authors would do to be honest. But Gerard surprised me when she took her time, building that romance right from the beginning. Let me tell you, the level of tension between these two is off the charts. In just one chapter, Gerard was able to convey some tension, both the sexual and suspenseful kind but back it up with plenty of emotion.

But again it is a nice read
