No Regrets
Young college professor, who liked to dabble with cryptology, resists breaking the cryptic code that US govt is paying her to crack & that torture-happy villains called the Swarm are also interested in for moral reasons. But her life becomes endangered when the Swarm tries to kidnap her for her skill in breaking the code. Former Delta Force Hero is sent to protect her but he only agrees to do so b/c it'll lead him to the Swarm members who he plans to deciminate for killing his wife. Hero & heroine develope strong feelings for each other, which complicates the job they were sent to do.This Butcher book was well-paced, exciting, & had a well-developed romance. The main characters were likeable. I liked heroine's intelligence & strength mixed with her innocence & quirkiness. Although Hero was tortured & hardened, he was also emotionally vulnerable enough to fall in love with heroine without the usual denial & major resistance to love that the usual alpha-male romance heroes usually do. Action-suspense was riveting & the gore wasn't too detailed. Sexual chemistry & love scenes were good. Good balance of suspense & romance.
Recommended.
