Review – Explosive Alliance

December 26, 2016 By The Suspense Zone

A BOMB SET TO EXPLODE
Krista Curry takes her elderly grandfather to a Portland Timbers match and the last thing she expects is to run into a bomber. But when a suspicious man leaves a backpack in the seat next to her and doesn’t return for it, she alerts First Response Squad bomb expert Deputy Cash Dixon.

When the local news reports Krista can identify the bomber, Cash fears the bomber has seen her on the news and he’d do just about anything to silence her as confirmed by an attempt to abduct her from her home that very night. Cash vows to protect Krista, but she’s running from a past secret and despite her attraction to Cash, she doesn’t want anything to do with him. When it becomes clear that he’s the only one who can keep her safe, will she let him into her life before everything explodes around her?

Explosive Alliance was a fantastic read! I haven’t read the first book in this series, although I plan to (hopefully soon!) and I don’t think that it impacted my enjoyment at all.

I loved the characters, found the suspense very good, and liked how not everything was as it seemed.

All in all, great story and I recommend it!
