Let Me In

By Donna Kauffman

Book Overview

He's bringing anything but peace and quiet. . . Tate Winslow is done with all the guns, the adventures, the brushes with death. All she wants is to be left alone. So when her enigmatic ex-boss shows up on her doorstep barely alive, she really tries not to care. He's all alpha male, the baddest of the bad--and a threat to her hard-won peace in more ways than one. Tate is the only lead Derek Cole has on a case that could blow the intelligence world apart--if it doesn't kill him before he can figure it out. She was his best agent, but she's in hiding and he's gone rogue, and he's starting to think of her in a very nonprofessional way. In fact, he wants Tate like he wants his next breath, but he's already risking his life and his career. . .does he need to put his heart in danger too?

Let Me In

I found this book to be very exciting. I have enjoyed many of Donna Kauffmans books and the one thing that I find when she writes suspense is that I can never figure out the ending. She always has a twist that makes me excited to see what it is this time. As always she did it again with this one. I can't wait for her next book.

Could not put this book down.

I finished this story in one day and so enjoyed it. Good job Donna. Looking forward to your next story.

exciting romantic suspense

Former covert operative Tate Winslow is placed in the witness protection program where her new identity is novelist Tara Wingate residing in Hebron Valley, Virginia. She wants nothing to do with her past having witnessed her partner CJ shot dead. However, her former boss at the agency Derek Cole arrives insisting CJ is alive and needs their help. She has problems with Derek's claim as she saw CJ killed, which is why she left the guns behind her three years ago. Derek explains the agency refuses to rescue an agent in trouble so he has gone rogue in order to save CJ. Each tries to ignore the attraction between them. However, both Tara and Derek question whether saving CJ is wise as each wonders if he could be a traitor betraying his country as a double agent. This is an exciting romantic suspense thriller from the moment Derek comes back into Tara's life. The story line is fast-paced, but the action is overwhelmed by the second chance romance between the former agent and the rogue operative. Fans will wonder whether CJ is alive and if yes is he a traitor? Harriet Klausner

What can happen to the agent who gets out of the game!

I finished Let Me In last night and couldn't put it down `till I was done. I really enjoyed the book. Both characters, Tate and Derek, were interesting, well developed, empathetic and I adored both of them. CJ's character was brilliant, as a contrast to who Tate might have become, making Tate's story even more compelling. One rarely reads about the agent who got out of the game. There was steadily building suspense through the book, even though there was not a lot of actual action, which is fine by me. The focus was clearly more on what the characters were feeling and thinking, their problem solving for both their internal and external challenges, rather than a lot of frantic action, yet it still held the suspense. It was not rife with dead bodies either... I loved the Epilogue...it satisfied me. The whole hotel scene with Derek's fake mustache and wig and stuff was in character and fun. It brought you back emotionally after the seriousness of the denouement. The author nicely crafted the technical solution to the dilemma, the media and attorney general, along with the video tape of Mank, all said in a few short sentences. Very tight and well crafted storyline. And the banter was just plain fun, especially the closing of the epilogue. I really, really enjoyed this book. Well done! Another special book for my Donna Kauffman shelf!
