TO SAVE HER TWIN SISTER SHE MUST SWITCH PLACES WITH HER...
When her long lost sister--a prostitute--is won in a card game by a brutal drug cartel, Zelda knows what she has to do: take her place. Save her. Focus on infiltrating the shadowy group on behalf of the Associates, and try not to think about why she left the spying game years ago. She’s slept with dangerous criminals before; she can do it again.
Hugo Martinez is one of South America’s most lethal and wanted men, a legendary mercenary living on a windswept mountain. Even at the height of the war he wasn’t in the habit of taking women captive, but the American whore has seen his face. And he and the orphan boy need a cook. He shouldn’t want this woman, but there’s something so unusual about her…
Little by little, Zelda finds herself falling for her captor…but is he the killer she’s been hunting all these years?
My thoughts:
The second book this week where a woman saves her sister. But then Zelda used to be a spy and is now part of this shadowy organization. She has the skills. While her druggie luxury prostitute sis would not stand a chance. Still, that is a big thing to do. Go in her place, knowing the drug lord can do whatever he wants with you.
So Zelda was cool. Brave, resourceful, independent, but with some scars so that is why she quit the spy game. And now everything goes wrong and she ends up with a mysterious man who wants a maid/governess/cook.
Hugo, ohh, yes I like the the bad ones, the mysterious loners with a chip on their shoulder. I kept on wondering if he really was a bad guy and longed to know more.
It's not a match made in heaven. He thinks she is some American whore. She wonders what he really is. They thread lightly around each other, but hey like always, we all know they are gonna end up doing it. And after they have done it they will fall in love.
But! before that there is action. Drug cartels. Bad people. The village. Then orphan boy Hugo saved. And the whole can they be together, they seriously have no future together.
I have to mention though, the other associates at her firm kind of sounds like a-holes after something that happens....
Conclusion:
A suspenseful, action packed lovestory.

Sounds good. I was a little worried when she fell for the guy who won her, but he sounds decent, despite his reputation.
ReplyDeleteIt was another guy who won her and he ...
DeleteThe badass guy trope is a delicate one for me. I can either love or hate it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes a tricky road to take
DeleteOh I'm glad you liked this one. I do like romantic suspense but don't often like the bad guy side (usually it is the detective or former marine or something) but this one looks like it has potential!
ReplyDeleteHe was bad yes, but also a good guy
DeleteSounds super good....but kuddos to her...I do not think I would switch places with my sister (if I had one)
ReplyDeleteI would sure not have done it
DeleteTotally agree with this statement "ohh, yes I like the the bad ones, the mysterious loners with a chip on their shoulder." Now I need to meet Hugo!!
ReplyDeletehehe, right!
DeleteLoved this one!! So many great things going on!!
ReplyDelete:) I dled the first one, wohoo
DeleteThsi books sounds really good, I need to try more books by her!
ReplyDeleteYes :)
DeleteThere's a lot going on in this one, which is good :) I've been feeling in the mood for some lively-plot action! Happy Saturday, Linda!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteSame!
I think my comment got deleted so sorry if this is a duplicate -
ReplyDeleteI really like this series but now I'm wondering what the associates did. Hmmmmm
Hmmmm ;)
DeleteI have seen no other so
I have the first one on my read list now. I just love her books.
ReplyDeleteYay :) I got the first one now too
