Phantom in the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon

3.0

THIS IS NOT A PARANORMAL ROMANCE.

Tortured ex-militant turned vigilante? check
One bold as hell woman who doesn't take no for an answer and believe's she can hold her own? check
both of them constantly telling each other to back off? check

Overall this was a pretty decent book other than the constant back forth between the two. But it was a good break from paranormal/historical romance as it focuses more on the law enforcement side, combined with the threat of biological warfare.

Nathan Drake is a man on a mission after finding out his brother is killed and he wont stop until the man who murdered his brother is dead. Terri Mitchell is a woman who is also on a mission after her partner was killed on her last operation with the DEA. She now works for BAD and is trying to find out who set her and her partner up while also on her actual official case; Drugs, Bugs and Murder. The two meet and end up working together (in a way) while trying to stop each other since they are on opposite sides of the fence. But of course they find that working together can get the job done quicker (yay teamwork!) even if they don't totally trust each other, but the raunchy sex helps.

This is in no way a humorous romance, its dark gritty and full of injustice.

But it's also about two people with major trust issues finding each other and learning to trust and open up to someone again.

3.5/5 stars
