Tyana
has every expectation of disliking Eli Chance when she tracks him down with the
intent to glean knowledge from him concerning the chemical agent that changed
her brother’s life forever and Eli’s apparent control over that agent’s effects
on him. But not even the best intel could never prepare her for the force of
nature that is Eli Chance. With every look, ever touch, he disarms her more
surely than if he’d stripped her of every gun and knife she owns.
Eli can’t quite figure what the sexy little mercenary is up to when she targets
him in a Singapore nightclub, but he can’t wait to find out. From the fierce
muscle tone in her arms to the combat boots on her feet, everything about Tyana
Berezovsky demands his attention.
With an unknown enemy working against them and Tyana’s own team determined to
keep her from Eli at all costs, Tyana and Eli must work together to save the
people they care most for in this world before it is too late.
Just when I thought I knew what to expect from Maya Banks’ writing, this
talented author manages to surprise me yet again by venturing into the world of
paranormal romance complete with full-on action adventure thrown in. With her
brand new series from Samhain Publishing,
Falcon Mercenary Group, Maya Banks introduces an
exciting new cast of characters guaranteed to stir the fantasies of romance
readers everywhere.
The first book in the series, Into
the Mist, introduces the men and woman that the series centers
on, while simultaneously delivering an unconventional yet touching romance
between Eli Chance and Tyana Berezovsky. This couple’s mating dance is
definitely a bit – OK, a LOT different from most, preferring to throw a few
well-aimed punches and roundhouse kicks at each other as a form of
mercenary-style foreplay. LOL But underneath it all, this pair connects on the
most fundamental of levels, sharing traumatic childhoods and lives devoid of
romantic love – until they find each other.
It is obvious from the beginning that Eli and Tyana are well-matched, each with
the ability to kick the other’s butt into gear when called for, and each with
empathy for the other’s past – an empathy born of painful experience.
With a suspense that arcs throughout the series, the author deftly builds
anticipation for the next piece of this riveting story, leaving fans with just
enough tidbits concerning future stories to encourage speculation on the series’
mysteries.
As the author of any good saga would do, Maya Banks finishes
Into the Mist with a
satisfying ending for our intrepid couple that is as much a beginning as it is
an ending. Indeed, the finish will leave readers panting for the next book in
this sizzling series, hoping against hope that their favorite member of the
Falcon Mercenary Group
will be the next hero.
