Book Reviews of Into the Dark (The Bodyguards, Book 6)Book Review: A thrilling conclusion to an exciting series Summary: 5 Stars
I may be a man, and not just a man, but a stay-at-home daddy man with quintuplets, but when I am not otherwise feeding, changing, bathing, comforting, watching over, or cleaning up after the quintuplets, I am squeezing in the latest thriller-romance by Cindy Gerard, the excitement of her writing the only thing keeping me conscious as my bone-weary body slowly shuts down in an effort to conserve the last dregs of energy barely keeping me alive.
"Into the Dark" concludes "The Bodyguards" hexology with all the excitement, intrigue and passion of the earlier books and more. The series chronicles the adventures of the members of E.D.E.N Inc., a West Palm Beach security firm run by three brothers, their sister, and two comrades in arms. Hmmm... four siblings, not all born at once. That must be heaven. All six E.D.E.N. members have military or intelligence backgrounds, and some carry personal histories that left scars deeper than any battle wound. My own history was relatively happy and carefree until my wife and I decided to start a family and her loins proved more fertile than a dachshund's.
Dallas Garrett, the fastidious brother who is always prepared, finds that his feelings cannot be made neat and orderly as he and Amy Walker, a strong yet vulnerable client, track the clues that will lead to the reasons behind her kidnapping and uncover surprising connections and even greater danger in "Into the Dark". All I ever uncover are dirty diaper after dirty diaper, each with a nice little surprise of its own. A nice, stinky surprise.
Although six months have passed by, Amy Walker can't shake the thoughts of her kidnapping or Dallas, who, along with E.D.E.N., rescued her from terrorists holding her on a remote Philippine island. I wish somebody would rescue me. No, I'm kidding. I love the quints. I love the quints. I just keep telling myself that. Dallas offers Amy his help, not promising any more, but even the best-laid plans are subject to the whims of Fate, Desire, and nefarious secret organizations that will use any means to control and manipulate men for their own, foul ends. Some of the quints also have very foul ends, if you know what I mean. Once the action gets going, Gerard matches the kinetic drive of the action with the kinetic drive of her prose, and the descriptions, dialogue and danger come in hard and fast.
"Into the Dark" moves with cinematic clarity and noir-edged intensity. The plot suspense will have you on your toes, but the romantic suspense will keep you on your pinkies. I have no idea what that means. I think my blood sugar is dangerously low. You will feel the very opposite of low, however, when you engage Gerard's latest romantic thriller, filled with uncontainable desire and dangerous enemies who must be overcome if our heroes are to avoid being pulled, dare I say it, into the dark.
Summary of Into the Dark (The Bodyguards, Book 6)Amy Walker endured unspeakable horrors while being held as a hostage before she was rescued by Dallas Garrett and his brothers from E.D.E.N., Inc. Amy is determined to leave the past behind?but only after she gets some answers to the questions that haunt her: Why was she abducted by the terrorists? Why is her mother locked up in a mental institution?
Dallas wants Amy to know he's a man she can trust. He's incapable of offering her his love but promises his sworn protection while she embarks on her quest to discover the truth about her family?and herself.
Working on a lead, Amy and Dallas team up with an investigative journalist and an unlikely accomplice whose motives are as murky as his past. Soon they are drawn into the depths of a secret organization that practices non-consensual mind-control experimentation--one that Amy's own grandfather appears to be involved in.
