My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Catherine Ling, the dangerous and beautiful CIA agent and superspy is back!!!
I was really looking forward to this book after https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... , which I enjoyed a lot.
Catherine is travelling to Hong Kong, to spend time with Luke, her son, who she had left in the care of her friend Hu Chang, whilst she was on her last mission.
Of course, things never work out as he plans. Venables, her CIA boss asks her to rescue Erin Sullivan, an American journalist being held as prisoner by a ruthless criminal, in the Tibetan mountains. Pulled by her wanting to be with Luke and wanting to save Erin, she agrees to the mission, which she hopes will be an easy and quick retrieval.
During the rescue mission – jeez, Catherine is some super agent…climbing up mountains, scaling monasteries…
From Kentucky to Hong Kong, to the mountains in Tibet and the streets of San Francisco Chinatown,
Catherine is soon running from ruthless killers with the help of the mysterious Cameron, known as the Guardian, who seems to have paranormal abilities…and is part of a group trying to keep the secret of Shangri-La hidden….
The incredible telepathic communication between Catherine and Cameron is mysterious and incredible. Their affair is sensual and hot and both are drawn inexplicably to each other. Whilst I found their relationship very interesting, I was rather sad that John Gallo was out the picture for Catherine!!!!
Because there’s a definite strong connection between her and Cameron, which we see growing with each moment they are together, not only physically but otherwise…remember he can get into her head!!!!!! This is hot sexual chemistry!!!
I loved the secondary characters in this story. Luke, Catherine’s son is an incredible boy.
Tenacious, smart, brave…..he’s totally fearless and I just loved seeing the relationship between mother and son slowly growing closer. Hu Chang is still as enigmatic as ever…plotting and manipulating. And I adored Celia, the woman who befriends Catherine in San Francisco. I would love to get more of her in future books.
Great story that at times have you thinking…..could this really happen?? Is it at all possible???
But never mind, it’s great entertainment and an ending that just damn grabs you…..and still, I’m left with the question………..
WHO IS RICHARD CAMERON????
Hopefully, we will have that answer, soon!!!!
