Protective Custody

Nicole Reed and Ian Michaels had worked together to protect a federal witness. He was chosen from the Colby Agency to help her because he was the best. The two were attracted to each other. While distracted, the witness was killed. Or so Ian thought. Nicole's real mission was to make sure Ian failed his and believed, along with the rest of the world, that the witness was dead. Instead, the witness was secreted into hiding. Only she knew the location. After three years Nicole had to ask the person she had betrayed for help. Someone had already killed her director and her partner. She was next on the killer's list. Several attempts had already been made on her life. ... Great read! This one kept me guessing all the way through. Some hot love scenes, so consider yourself warned in advance. The story hooked me on the first page and never let me go. In fact, I did not get up from the sofa even once until the story was finished. Yes, it is that good! I hope to see more of the Colby Agency!

If you like a good mystery with a hero and a heroine you can really like, this one is it. Ms. Webb gets better and better. The tension starts on page one and doesn't stop building until the end of the book. The love scenes are real twenty first century stuff, intense, realistic and in a word, sensational. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Those of you looking for a steamy romance, edge of your seat action and--REFRESHINGLY--an *equally* matched hero and heroine should definitely pick up this book. Nicole Reed is definitely not your average heroine. She's strong and capable, with sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. She was the perfect foil for to-die-for hero Ian Michaels. I'm sooo glad that Ms. Webb recognized that a typical damsel-in-distress heroine was not what this cool, unflappable and calmly lethal hero needed. To give a hero of this caliber any less in a heroine would have been an injustice. These super characters combined with Ms. Webb's trademark hand with a suspenseful plot and sexual tension made this my favorite of the Colby series thus far. This one is on my keeper shelf.

This book is filled with tension from the starting line. Hero Ian Michaels fires up the imagination and the libido for this reader as Ms. Webb brings us another winner in her Colby Agency series for Harlequin Intrigue. It has a rich cast of supporting characters. I hope no one gives away the plot for this one in their review. If you like hot, and you like action, you'll love this book! I can't wait for the next one!
