Review: Killian by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Killian by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Killian is given a mission to retrieve a woman who has had the bad luck to be kidnapped, escape and then get kidnapped again. With a very sketchy SOS, he tracks her from Vancouver to Alaska and then all the intel has stopped. Cisco is a late child for her father and is, therefore, the apple of his eye, however, when she really needed him he wasn't there to believe her and therefore protect her. She is currently on the run from her abusive ex, her last kidnapper is a seasoned negotiator who has seen she is in trouble is planning to auction her to the highest bidder. With all these threads running together Killian is going to have to find the predator in the middle and take him out as without doing that Cisco is never going to ever be safe again.

I really enjoyed this story which has lots of layers of bad guys to dig through in order to find the central one and ensure Cisco's safety. There was certainly a lot of depravity, and lack of respect to women in common for these bad guys. Throughout all of that badness was Killian, proving that he was trustworthy and that there was no way he would ever hurt a woman - in fact, to do so was just an alien concept to him. I loved all the mystery and action in this story as well as the attraction that was completely impossible to deny between both Killian and Cisco. Easy to read and understand, I was completely rooting for them to find the ultimate bad guy in order to get freedom. Contains a little sexual content at the end of the story.
