F.B.I. Special Agent Caitlin Cavanaugh’s latest assignment: to stop a violent madman on the rampage in Somersett, South Carolina. Even more challenging is working with sexy former Navy SEAL Quinn McKade, as they spend the steamy summer nights together investigating the murders. But when the killer starts leaving chilling clues, the pair knows that the murders aren’t random—and that they could be next.

Summary: An okay read
Comment: This book is better than Freefall, but there are still too many characters. I also thought that Cait and Quinn did not spend enough time together. They had a one night stand years ago which "neither of them could quit thinking about" but they hadn't seen each other since. Another thing that bothered me (unless I missed it) was how Quinn knew her parents. The whole plot seemed to wrap up neat and tidy in just a few pages. I skipped over the parts about other characters and only read the sections with Cait and Quinn. I never really understood the point of the Brandon backstory either.
Overall it was entertaining, but I picked which parts I read. If you suffered through Freefall, then it is worth reading this one. Otherwise, skip it.

Summary: DNF
Comment: Unfortunately, I have had to put the book aside for the moment. I usually love Joann Ross, but I for some reason can't get into this book. I will give it some time and try again.

Summary: The latest High Risk romantic suspense is a terrific serial killer police procedural
Comment: In Somersett, South Carolina, the sniper needed one shot to assassinate Brigadier General John Jacob. Because of the high visibility of an Army field grade officer murdered in the States, the FBI claims terrorist act means their jurisdiction. FBI agent Caitlin Cavanaugh leads the task force that includes state and local law enforcement.
The team quickly concludes they are dealing with a serial killer whose accuracy denotes military precision of a trained sniper. Former Navy SEAL Quinn McKade is added to the investigative team because of his former military experience as a sniper. The killer sends messages to local TV reporter Valentine Snow that insists the list of victims has just begun. As Cait and her team struggle with the motive that would link the killer's targets, she and Quinn are attracted to one another; but first there is a deadly apparently military trained killer on the loose they have to catch.
The latest High Risk romantic suspense is a terrific serial killer police procedural with the tie to FREEFALL being a harrowing incident during the Afghan War. Cait is excellent as a woman who prefers to be in charge while Quinn is used to going solo and not taking field orders. They make a fine coupling, but the strength of this superb thriller is the deep look at the sufferer of post-traumatic stress disorder and those emotionally connected to the disturbed person.
