Lethal Redemption: Two Full Books for the Price of One by April Hunt
3.0
“Don’t look at me like that.”
“Look at you like what, Gracie? Like you’ve been itfor me since the second you walked into my life?”
Lethal Redemption is the first April Hunt book I’ve read, though I don’t believe it’ll be the last. It follows FBI profiler Grace Steele and veteran and former detective Cade Writer on a mission to infiltrate the cult she grew up in to rescue the Vice President’s daughter.
I read a lot of historical and contemporary romance, but not many romantic suspense or thrillers. It’s a subgenre I’m trying to break into, since I love romances with a bit of danger for our leads. It’s been a hit and miss process as I search to find authors who are a good fit for my tastes, and April Hunt is definitely an author I’m interested in reading more from.
Grace and Cade were teen sweethearts whose relationship ended when Cade decided to reenlist in the army. Now almost a decade later, they’re thrown back together. Cade is working with Grace’s cousins at a private security firm, and he knows this is his one shot to win back her heart. Personally I wanted a little bit more angst and tension from their relationship, Grace and Cade decide to fake a relationship for the purpose of infiltrating the cult and very quickly it turns into a real second chance. I found myself wishing it was a bit more drawn out.
Still, this was a fast-paced and engaging story that reminded me of all of my favorite crime shows. Though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone. It included an excerpt of the third book, which immediately hooked me and I can’t wait to check it out.
