Enjoyable overall...

Former prosecutor Renee Vaughn wants to right the wrongs of her past. When Jim Colby and The Equalizers give her a chance to go undercover, she jumps at the opportunity. Unfortunately, Paul Reyes isn't who or what she expected. As the reclusive brother of international drug kingpin Victor Reyes, Paul finds himself the target for his brother's hit men. Will Renee and Paul survive long enough to sort out the mess? And will the attraction between them remain once all truths are revealed? HOSTAGE SITUATION is the second book in The Equalizers, which is an offshoot of the long-running Colby Agency series. Debra Webb always does a phenomenal job with romantic suspense and HOSTAGE SITUATION continues this trend. One cannot help but love each new installment, as the Colby family (and all of the connected families) have taken on a life all their own. Renee is a conflicted character. While one would expect a former prosecutor to be ultra savvy, Renee makes her fair share of mistakes. However, her distress over her brother certainly explains any misgivings about some of her actions. Paul remains somewhat of an enigma throughout the book and it appears this is Ms. Webb's intention. I only wish their romance had developed a bit more and I did have one of those moments where I wanted to scream at them and ask them exactly why they were having sex when their lives were in danger. Overall, however, HOSTAGE SITUATION is an enjoyable read and a welcome addition to The Equalizers series. COURTESY OF CK2S KWIPS AND KRITIQUES
