Exciting and Romantic

Nash Brennon and Annie Gallagher were partners and lovers once upon a time. But Annie betrayed Nash, leaving him to die and vanishing without a trace, taking with her a secret she would keep to herself. Eight years later, Annie is back, bringing with her a whole slue of problems. She is a possible traitor to her country, and on a personal mission of her own. Her son has been kidnapped by terrorists and they want her to kill a U.N. ambassador or they will kill her son. After receiving a tip, Nash and his A-TAC team are sent to find out who is planning an assassination attempt on the U.N. ambassador and stop it. He is shocked to find out it's the woman he has not been able to forget for the past eight years. When Annie confides in Nash, he finds himself conflicted between his duty and the woman he once loved. Dark Deceptions is the first installment in the A-TAC series. It's an exciting, fast paced romantic suspense filled with action and adventure. Annie and Nash heat up the pages and keep the story moving with their hot romantic chemistry and their journey through love, betrayal and forgiveness. The secondary characters are strong and likeable, supporting the story well and I look forward seeing a few of them in future installments. Even if political terrorism and espionage is not your usual choice of subject matter in romantic fiction, you will want to give Dark Deceptions a try as Dee Davis has written an exciting, romantic and sensual love story.

Bridget's Review

Nash doesn't fall easily and has only fallen in love with one woman, his partner at A-Tac - Annie. As much as he would like to forget her very existence because of how she hurt him and then simply disappeared. Out of nowhere she reappears and is back to work. They try to extinguish the flame but it only seems to run more wild. Her son was kidnapped by terrorists and the only way they will release him is if a UN ambassador is killed. Even in the face of this disaster, they cannot fight the attraction. Will this help them with the task at hand or will their passion be the death of them? I liked this book. I thought the writing was fun and the storyline was really good. If you like the combination of thrill, romance, suspense and drama, this is your book.

What happened with the Kindle version?

Ok. So let me get this straight. The publishers don't think they can make any money on an e-book unless they charge the same price as for the paper copy. AND, they make us wait an additional 4 months to get it. Do they really think that we are that stupid? Do they really think that they can make us believe it costs the same to produce an e-book when they have no paper costs, no printing costs, no distribution costs and no warehouse costs? Looks like the local library is going to see a lot more of me.

action-packed international romantic suspense

Eight years ago Annie Gallagher and Nash Brennon were partners at the CIA and lovers outside of work. Their professional and personal relationships ended during the Benoit incident in Paris when she realized they could never be a normal couple. Although he seemed to move on without a look back; she sees his face everyday when she stares at their son Adam. When someone kidnaps Adam, the culprit informs Annie to kill U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Blake Dominco if she wants her child back alive. At the same time, the CIA assigns Nash to bring in Annie who they believe has betrayed her country. When they meet, she pleads with the father of her child to give her time to save her kid although she hides who the father is and claims Adam is six. Upset, he must choose between his feelings for her and the cold facts of treason especially when the assassins move forward with their scheme. Dark Deceptions is an action-packed international romantic suspense thriller that never stops for a beat (except for a kiss here and there). The story line grips the audience as each step of the way affirms Annie as a traitor; which confirms Nash's belief she deserted him when he needed back-up, leaving him to die. Readers will relish this powerful terrorist thriller as betrayal and distrust seem to supersede love. Harriet Klausner
