Deep Breath

This is the title of an Alison Kent I read recently and thought I'd do a review.

Georgia McLain, treasure hunter, is desperate to find the evidence that will exonerate her father in a scandal that saw him sent to, and die, in prison. Harry van Zandt, SG-5 operative is also hunting for the same evidence, but for a different purpose.

When Georgia is blackmailed by a man holding her brother, and others, hostage to team up with Harry to find the evidence, the race to find the treasure begins.

This is the first of Alison's that I've read, and I liked it. For those who like their plots hot and their heroes even hotter, this is the book for you. Harry is a well-rounded,gorgeous alpha male with problems and the beautiful Georgia has her own hang ups. As with most romances, it's about the relationship first and the solution second. Alison weaves a tale of hot sex and wicked deception with a fine hand.

And although I would have liked to have some examples of Georgia's treasure-hunting exploits, the lack doesn't detract from the story. Both characters show grit and determination in seeking out what they both want; but what they need is each other.

The secondary characters are also well-crafted. Finn, Georgia's brother, for example, has been created well enough for his own story. And the villains of the piece, are as sinister and calculating as you'd expect.

A wonderful book, filled with adventure, betrayal and sex. Everything a successful book needs to garner more fans. Alison has created a significant series, and Deep Breath is just one, of hopefully many, produced from her fertile imagination.
