Hard Knocks

Hard Knocks is the third book in the Charlie Fox series. Charlie (Charlene) is ex-special forces...British. She is smart and tough. This book has great action, a believable plot, and a bit of romance. Because the first three books are out of print, they are somewhat hard to acquire. But don't give up. You can find them! The price range is pretty wide, so shop around. Here are the books: Killer Instinct, Riot Act, Hard Knocks, Road Kill, First Drop, Second Shot.

Sharp really knows how to write an engrossing, action-packed story. I've read the first two in the series and love Charlie. She is a wonderful protagonist; smart, tough, skilled yet has her vulnerabilities. The plot is tight and fast moving with very good action scenes. The tension and suspense really keep you going. I've the next two books on my shelf and look forward to more exciting times with Charlie.

main characters are good, and the lead female, is strong and takes care of herself, she is not wimpy! she infiltrates a supposed german personal bodyguard training school to find out why a friend was murdered....its very interesting and a fast read. Good action and adventure. Even my husband liked it.
