Irishman
Dylan Maguire is back in Secrets of a Dangerous Woman, reuniting with
psychic spy Vicki Boyd. In his first mission with the CIA, he must
interrogate recently captured Brenda Carnegie. But when she escapes
again, it's obvious she's had help from within the CIA's own ranks.
With Vicki Boyd's psychic assistance, Brenda is back in his custody
again. And now he must find out why some in the highest branches of
government want her dead - and others will risk everything to help
her. And when he discovers her true identity, his mission has just
become very personal.
Excerpt:
#1:
Brenda
was taller than her sister. His chest touched her back as he leaned
on the door, her hair brushing against his face and flowing downward
nearly to the top of his jeans. She smelled of Vicki’s shampoo and
Vicki’s perfume.
“Where
the bloody hell do you think you’re goin’?” Dylan said.
She
didn’t answer but continued facing the door.
“Put
the gun down, Red,” he said calmly.
“Since
you remember me,” she said, still with her back against him, “you
know I didn’t have a gun.”
“I
know that you’ve got me gun in your right hand. And I know as soon
as you turn around, that gun is goin’ to be pointed at me chest.”
“Let
me go, Irish. Don’t make me shoot you.”
“There
are two things I won’t be allowin’ to happen. First, you’re not
gonna shoot me with me own gun. And second, they won’t be catchin’
you with me gun on you. They won’t be tracin’ you back to me.”
She
remained motionless and he could almost hear her mind racing. “I’m
bad news, Irish. You and I both know it. It’s better this way.”
“It’s
better that you stay here. You’re safe here.”
“What
are you saying?”
“I
think I just said it.”
“I’m
turning around,” she said after a moment’s hesitation. “And I’m
handing you the gun.”
He
moved slightly away from the door, dropping his arms from around her
head as she turned around. He took the gun from her hand and set it
on the kitchen table beside them.
“I
wish I’d met you before Vicki did. We would have been good
together.”
His
eyes followed her jawline, her full lips, a slightly wide, upturned
nose, her high cheekbones, and a mountain of copper hair a man could
get lost in. Then his eyes moved to her perfect brows, one raised
slightly, coquettishly, before stopping to peer into her mesmerizing
amber eyes. “We would have been dangerous together.”

Review
This is an intense book with a hint of supernatural in that one of the main characters is a psychic that basically travels on the spirit plane to "see" things that are happening elsewhere. It is also the story of two sisters and how their "nature" results in them ending up on the opposite sides of the law.
I give this story 4.5 out of 5 clouds.
