Book Blurb
She Needs a Hero...
Abby Thompson didn’t sign up to be the daughter of the President of the United States. The position was forced on her by the small matter of her birth. Preferring a quiet life of study, she’s content to leave the politics and the international intrigue to her father. Unfortunately, the most powerful man on the planet is sure to make enemies. When a group of armed thugs takes her hostage half a world away, demanding the U.S. government release prisoners in exchange for her safe return, she fears her father’s policy of “not negotiating with terrorists” means she’ll never see the shores of the Potomac again. Luckily, there’s one glimmer of hope. His name is Carlos Soto. And though she abruptly ended things with him years ago, she knows now he’s the only man who can save her…
Black Knights, Inc. to the Rescue...
Carlos “Steady” Soto has taken part in his fair share of dangerous missions working at the covert government defense firm of Black Knights Inc. But nothing prepared him for the emotional rollercoaster he faces when he’s tasked with rescuing the only woman he ever loved—who also broke his heart. Racing against time and outmaneuvering a group of trained terrorists will take everything he’s got. Plus there’s the heat simmering between them which is threatening to ignite into an inferno. While ruthless enemies stalk them, they must learn to trust each other again. Even if they do make it out alive, will Abby turn her back on him…for the second time?

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Abigail Thompson is the youngest daughter of the President of the United States. Eight years ago her life changed. She lost the two people she cared about deeply. Rosa was killed in an explosion meant for her and she blamed herself for Rosa’s death. The second person was Carlos, Rosa’s brother. Abby’s guilt blinded her and she sent Carlos away for his own good and in order to keep her secret protecting her father’s bid for the presidency. She made her father promise to tell her everything Carlos did while in the army after he left medical school. She has thought about him frequently these last eight years. She is surprised when he shows up as a back up to her Secret Service security detail after rumors of a kidnap attempt circulate. Abby attends her conference then finds herself spirited away.
Carlos ends up being Abby’s only chance of escape and he follows her into the Malaysian Jungle. He realizes he has had feelings for her since he met her and it seems they haven’t changed. He hopes he can get to her before he loses her.
I love this series. It is full of strong characters that are instantly likable. You want to know them and be in their inner circle. This book was full of fast paced adventure and terrorist plots. Carlos was an excellent alpha male. He takes charge of Abby in every way. He is hot, hot, hot! His Spanish phrases, the author included, added to his badass appearance. I really liked seeing him in action.
His friend and fellow Knight, Dan, was an intriguing character making his way back from his own personal hell. I look forward to his story as well. I recommend this to anyone that likes to read action packed, special forces adventures. I give it a 4 out of 5.
