More cheers for Lora. I so love her SEALs and Elites. So far, Nathan and Kell are my faves, but she does some amazing writing. ( )

Killer Secrets
3 Stars

Determined to bring down those responsible for the torture of his SEAL teammate, Ian Richards willingly takes a position with his estranged father, renowned drug lord, Diego Fuentes. Unfortunately, things do not go according to plan when Homeland Security agent, Kira Porter, arrives on the scene intent on stopping Ian from ruining her agency’s most important assets.

The plot and characters have definite potential, especially in terms of Ian’s relationship with his father. Unfortunately, the incessant and repetitive sex scenes overshadow the storyline and what little tension and suspense is created dissipates quite quickly when it becomes clear that neither the SEALs not the criminals believe Ian’s transfer of allegiances for one second.

Although I have the boxset of the spin-off series, I may or may not continue. Maybe if I’m in the mood.

This book was hot. Or maybe I should say caliente! Fabulous steamy read with loads of action in the story as well. ( )

If you want a book with a über damaged alpha male this is it, ladies and gentlemen. By the end of 'Hidden Agendas' I already knew who Ian was supposed to be and I wondered how they were going to explain his situation. Glad that I read his book right after I finished the previous one, because this is story passes very close in time to the end of the last book, which is very nice because the facts are still in our heads. Kira was freaking awesome! I already liked her very much, but now that we got to see how much she kicks ass, I can understand why Ian would fall for her. It was great and at the same time sad to see Ian getting to the realization of what his actions are going to mean to him and Kira in the future and how it is going to affect their lives in that moment. They were incredibly hot together, because that is what Lora Leigh does best: write incredibly hot and steamy scenes. You guys won't be disppointed with this book, because it has pretty much it all: the romance, the hot sex, a lot of action and even a little dry humor. Enjoy this because I certainly have. ;) ( )

This is my favorite book of this series. Part of that is because the hero is named Ian. I have a softness for that name. The other part is that Ian is so dominant, he reminds me of Ian Sinclair from Shameless. Ian Richards has had a very difficult life and he shows it with everything he does. Even though he is portrayed as a traitor through most of the book. I suspected that he was doing something else. He is much to loyal and honor bound to turn away from all that he cares about just to take over a drug cartel. For most of the story he is driven by determination and revenge for the things that have been done to his team and specifically for what was done to Nathan Malone. I also love that he loves Kira. He comes to accept who she is and what she needs. He isn't happy about it but he understands and does what he can to let her help with what he feels he has to do.

Kira is a well trained agent that has been working to bring down the killer of her parents. She is known as the Chameleon because she can become just about anyone and no ones knows her real identity, no one except Ian. Ian can pick her out from a crowd. The mission in Atlanta is the turning point for the relationship that is forming for these two. When she goes to Aruba to face Ian she knows that they will become lovers and she is prepared to do what ever it takes to make that happen. Highly intelligent and very clever she knows that it won't be easy convincing Ian to her way of thinking. I like Kira a lot. She is one of my favorite Lora Leigh female heroines. She is never bitchy or condescending. She uses her intelligence and intuition to get Ian cooperation not insults and whining.

Ms Leigh does a wonderful job of building the suspense leading up to the final battle to take out the terrorist Sorrell. The final battle is also well written and very engrossing. She does a wonderful job of keeping you on the edge of your seating waiting for the final shoe to fall. The love scenes in the story are smoking hot as well as sometimes fast and intense and other times slow and torturous. She make the scenes caring and wonderful never trashy and dirty. These scenes are between a loving couple that have a healthy sex drive. I also love that Ian is so willing to spank and use bondage on Kira. This is almost the perfect story as far as I am concerned. In many ways this is the wrapping up of this series and the start of the Elite Ops series. There are a number of characters in this story that show up on the other. There is one final short story to this series which is Masey's story. ( )
