This book was both better and worse than I expected. And, at the same time, it was exactly what I expected. Nate “Ghost” Wheeler is ex-military and works for Black Knights, Inc., a government sanctioned independent contractor operation that “handle the jobs the government doesn’t want its name attached to” (or some nonsense like that). Nate is recently back from a mission that went horribly wrong and his best friend, Grigg, ended up dead. Nate has always had feelings for his best friend’s little sister, […]
Jump already, Laney!
Compared to its series predecessor, Off the Edge didn’t work quite as well for me. But I still enjoyed the story and overall continue to appreciate Carolyn Crane’s obvious talent for interweaving romance and suspense. In a genre that can seem a hackneyed (to me, at least) The Associates series so far stands out by distinguishing its operatives as pretty genuine nerds — shockingly handsome ones, of course — but real egghead types, with particular specialties that make them well-suited for investigative work. Macmillan, in […]
Romantic suspense that came recommended and which I now, too, recommend
Against the Dark was a very fun entry to a series I plan on finishing. Thank you to Malin and Sophia for the recommendation!

The leader of the Hangmen is suspicious of Thorne, however, and worried that he is gunning for his spot next, taking over the whole organisation. So after a series of unexpected attacks on the gang’s and their allies’ warehouses, he sees an opportunity to have Thorne framed and removed as a […]
She’s a lounge singer. He’s a linguistics professor (and a spy). Together they hunt bad guys
Laney Lancaster has been on the run from her monstrous ex-husband for the past two years.

The safe cracker and the nerdy secret agent
Five years ago, Angel Ramirez gave up safe-cracking and stealing and swore to mend her ways, sick of hurting and using people. She’s been working hard to stay on the straight and narrow, making a living as an interior decorator, trying to earn the forgiveness of her disappointed family members. When the woman Angel considers as close as a real aunt is kidnapped, and the ransom demanded is the hoard of diamonds belonging to notorious gangster Walter Borgola, Angel has no choice but to reunite […]
