About this ebook

Dangerous. Ruthless. Savage. And she's the good guy.

Abby Sinclair had a desperate childhood until she was rescued and adopted by a retired army ranger who molded her into a master of self-defense. Now, she's a cunning and fearless assassin thrust into assignment after dangerous assignment, using everything she has-nerve, resilience, strength, sex-to come out on top. Her only rule: trust no one.
Abby's latest assignment is in Columbia: go undercover and snuff out a dangerous arms dealer active in the underground sex trade. But when Abby purposely blows her cover in a last-ditch attempt to free the helpless victims, deadly mercenary Kane Woodland is recruited as back-up. His mission: get Abby out of that hell hole.

The last thing Kane expects is to feel a primal attraction for Abby. But when she convinces him to join her on her perilous mission, their newfound passion could put the lives of their whole team at risk.

Ratings and reviews

Midnight Rescue by Elle Kennedy An Adult Action/Suspense Romance. 3.5 stars Negatives. There are areas that tend to drag a bit. The main female character, Abby can be very annoying. There are times you want to reach into the story and smack her upside the head. Positives. I didn't find any typos nor editing errors of any kind. Other than the times you have the urge to smack Abby, you can't help but to admire her. Her childhood was beyond atrocious. At times her character comes off as stupid stubborn, but she is very intelligent and capable lethal assassin. A very strong female character. The main male character, Kane cares about Abby and her mission, but doesn't want to show, nor admit even to himself, how much. This leads to some interesting conversations and situations. Kane convinces his team to continue with Abby's mission. There is a lot of action in the field and intimately between him and Abby. Plenty of suspense throughout the story.

Terrific read! Very different from her uniform series but just as enjoyable. The characters are compelling and have depth. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to seeing how they interact in future novels..especially with an intriguing plot as their vehicle. Great series, Elle! You hooked me.

I love alot of action and romance keeps wondering what happens next
