Search - Whisper No Lies (Black Ops, Bk 3)

On the Vegas Strip, Crystal Debrowski works security at Bali Hai Casino. Her job is made harder because as her friend Abbie Hughes Lang puts it she is a "man magnet" due to her looks although she rejects all offers. Her latest admirer Yao Long refuses to accept her declination of a sexual encounter. The Asian crime lord pulls strings, which leads to Crystal's arrest based on her employer accusing her of stealing by substituting counterfeit chips and other security glitches; all occurring during her shifts as security game manager; Yao pays her bail.

Abbie knows Crystal is innocent and asks her spouse Sam and his cronies at Black Ops Inc. (see TAKE NO PRISONERS) to help her friend. Before he can react, Yao's goons abduct Crystal taking her to his base in Jakarta, Indonesia. BOI agents led by before Texan Johnny Duane Reed mount a rescue. As they learn of Yao's human trafficking to include the apparent sale of an American general's daughter, Yao as belied by his Komodo dragon heart belief vows a fiery vengeance on those who affronted his honor.

This action-packed BOI romantic suspense thriller focuses on the entire amoral supply and demand of human trafficking as sexual slaves are a high selling commodity more than even the romance subplot. The story line is fast-paced from the onset while the key cast is fully developed. Especially interesting is Yao who believes strongly in his dragon heart that regular humans are inferior cattle to him. WHISPER NO LIES is a strong entry with a powerful deep focus on a currently thriving even with bad global economy abomination.

Didn't grab my interest as her novels usually do - could have been just me.

Cindy Gerard is a very good author and her romantic suspense stories are a good blend of military and covert operations, romance, and really, really bad guys.

The Black Ops series is a continuation of characters mentioned in her Bodyguard Series.

This book focuses on Johnny Reed, the ladies man of Black Ops and Crystal Debrowski, friend of Abbie Hughes (Take No Prisoners). While they both enjoy their affair, neither one wants or believe the other wants to be serious about their relationship. Things change when Crystal is kidnapped by an Asian bad guy who will soon make her part of a prostitution ring.

Highly recommend if you like the special forces, action and romance type books.

This is the best so far of the Black Op series. These books could stand alone, but I would really recommend that they be read in sequencial order; you get a better insight of the leading man's character, from the previous books.

Cindy Gerard knows how to write riveting romantic/suspense for sure! The thrills start as soon as the book is opened and continue until the last page. The suspense aspect is believable and very well done. It was the romance aspect in this book that as a little hard to swallow. A couple of wham-bam,thank you, ma'm one night stands having been referred to, then suddenly when danger hits, they can't live without each other? Eh..... just not working as believable.

One of Gerards best!
