Review by Kathy Perschmann
This is the second in the Night series of T-FLAC (Terrorist Force Logistical Assault Command) novels by Adair, following Night Fall.
Psi Operative Lucas Fox crashes from a bad teleportation experience onto the beach at an exclusive medical spa specializing in plastic surgery near Rio. Lucas, needless to day, is a wizard, with special skills that make him a perfect operative for T-FLAC, and he is tracing some terrorist Half Wizards who are involved in some very nasty business.
Lying on the beach in the dark, trying to keep himself invisible, Fox is confused by the sputtering failure of his powers. He is able to gather enough power to escape the soldiers and helicopters searching for him, and teleport himself–naked–into the beachfront cottage of writer Sydney McBride. Her publisher has her writing a book on destination spas, and having been pushed by her publisher to get her breasts enhanced to make the book more realistic, she is recuperating.
Lucas uses his powers of Empathic Perception to control Sydney and the soldiers a bit, so the soldiers searching the cottages are convinced that he is her boyfriend. He notices when he is in contact with Sydney that his powers seem enhanced, and he is forced to use her to search the facility for the nasty Half-wizard he is chasing, Escar.
While Sydney is attracted to the handsome Lucas, she is also using him. She senses a huge book might come out of her assisting him and discovering exactly what is going on at the spa. As they work together, sparks fly as they get to know each other. Sydney discovers the advantages of being the lover of a wizard and the distinct disadvantages of being along on a T-FLAC operation. Fortunately Sydney isn’t just a pretty face as her older brothers have taught to shoot and fight. The two uncover more plots than they ever expected.
This Harry Potter with guns and steamy sex is for adults only, and is a spicy and savory addition to the T-FLAC series. I know I can’t wait for the third book in the series, out soon, Night Shadow.
Armchair Interviews says: Another good read in this series from a New York Times best selling author.
