Search - The Mercenary (Men of T-FLAC, Bk 1)

An early Adair that has been reworked and reissued. Tory Jones enlists the help of T-FLAC agent Marc Savin when her brother Alex is captured by terrorists. Marc was Alex's partner but has since retired. When he finds out that Alex is captured and not dead he plans to go rescue him. Soon he realizes that there is a psychic link between the siblings and so he reluctantly takes Tory on the mission with him. Good, quick, romantic, action adventure reading.

Victoria has absolutely no desire to be a heroine (even action movies have too much adventure for her), but her twin brother Alex has gone missing while on a counter-terrorist mission. She turns to Marc, Alex's best friend, to try to get him home. Marc drags her along with him to a fictional Mediterranean island, where they deal with bad guys, fall in love and try to re-establish Tory's psychic link with her nearly-dead brother.

This is a re-released, "refurbished" issue of the first book in Adair's T-FLAC series. Since it's a Harlequin, it's not the most substantial of novels, and lacks some of the intensity of Adair's more recent books, but it's an enjoyable fast read.

This is a great action romance!

Interesting

I enjoyed Tory and Marc's story although there were times that he made me mad in his cruel words as he tried to push Tory away. I would have liked to see more of a reunion with her brother Alex since the whole thing is about rescuing him. Also the ending was very abrupt, there was a lot left to complete their story in my opinion. It was still enjoyable and would recommend to anyone that likes the special forces romance types.

Tori Jones, shy, unassuming bookkeeper with little to no people skills finds herself required to seek the help of mercenary Marc Savin. When Tori shows up in his living room, battered and broken, Marc initially hears her story with disbelief and skepticism. When she finally convinces him that his partner, Alex, is her twin brother and that Alex is alive and needs rescuing, they depart on a dangerous mission to an island controlled by the terrorists that have been trying to break his partner for months. Along the way, both characters must deal with the spark growing between them - and it makes for a great, suspenseful, romance story.
