MY THOUGHTS


Malicious Intent is book two in the Defend and Protect series. I have not read book one but I had no problem following along. The series is written by the talented Lynn H. Blackburn. This book focuses on childhood friends, Dr. Ivy Collins and Secret Service Agent Gil Dixon. They have not been in each other's lives for awhile and Gil has to talk to her in regards to counterfeit money that her company, Hedera has deposited. When they show up, Dr. Collins is being attacked. 


Gil and his team make it their mission to protect Ivy. They need to find out why someone wants to get information on Hedera so bad. They do not seem threatened or scared when the Secret Service Team is constantly with Ivy. 


The amount of action and suspense is constant with this book. Books that keep my heart pounding throughout and have me turning pages fast are my favorite books to read. This book takes you on a wild, adrenaline filled ride to unravel who wants into Hedera's system so bad. 


The author always has such well written characters, you get to know them so well in the span of the book. She will keep you on your toes. I cannot wait until the next book in the series comes out. 


Thank you to Revell Reads for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
