The Insider

I've read 10 out of 12 of the Family Secrets/Extraordinary 5 series. All are well written and the stories mesh remarkably successfully, considering that each is by a different author. You definitely have to suspend disbelief about the overall plot of the series, but the relationships are well realized and you'll care about the characters. All the romances sizzle. This one is my new favorite; the action/drama was nonstop, Gideon and Brooke both very appealing, and the progression of the overall story of the series was very satisfying. Here is the series in order (c. 2003-2004): Enemy Mind, by Maggie Shayne Pyramid of Lies, by Anne Marie Winston The Player, by Evelyn Vaughn The Bluewater Affair, by Cindy Gerard Her Beautiful Assassin, by Virginia Kantra A Verdict of Love, by Jenna Mills The Billionaire Drifter, by Beverly Bird Fever, by Linda Winstead Jones Blind Attraction, by Myrna Mackenzie The Parker Project, by Joan Elliott Pickart The Insider, by Ingrid Weaver Check Mate, by Beverly Barton
