Excerpt
Amy rapped just once before twisting the knob. “You’re in your skivvies.” Seeing him in his boxers was a gut-punch. She inhaled a breath and nudged the door shut with her back.
He slipped behind his desk and narrowed his eyes at her. A sexy smile showed on one side of his mouth. “You knocked. Did I say, ‘open?’ ” He looked darn incredible.
With the scorch of embarrassment, Amy realized she was just standing there.
“Relax. I’ve got one up on you. Remember New Years, five years ago, in the closet with Les? There you were, commando.” Finn chortled with a slap to his knee.

Finbar Donahue who was formerly an Army Ranger is trying to find out why money is being withdrawn from his companies account each month. His former partner, Les, was shot in a drive by shooting and after a lengthy illness has recently passed away.
Amy Kintyre took care of Les after he was shot and now would like to have a job that works the daytime hours, so that her fashion business can get back on track again. But when she finds paperwork that shows that Les had a secret account, she goes straight to Fin to let him know. He offers her a job as a secretary with his investment firm. However, because the both of them are questioning the withdrawals and investigating into the account, this puts them on the radar of the local the Irish Mob and a ISIS splinter group also.
The book was rather slow starting out but towards the end the action picked up with both groups trying to plan an attack. Plus Amy discovers that her late fiance's son, Stephen, is getting serious with Cassidy who was the former secretary for Fin's business. When you add in the mob, terrorists, a twin brother who let his brother Les be the victim of the shooting and all of the love stories within the focus of the story, the book really heats up and ties everything up into a nice bow. All in all the book has a great plot to follow and is a good one.

Cathy Gehe, Goodreads, reviewed Deadly Alliance
Fun, fast paced romance with a bevy of bad guys. Finn Donahue and Amy Kintyre are not expecting fireworks when Amy starts working for him BUT that is what they get both in the office and outside of it. Finding out who is stealing the money from Finn while dealing with a slew of bad guys fighting for turf in their community and falling for one another comprises the main part of this book. I like Amy’s ability to say what she wants, stick up for herself and achieve great things in her life while helping just about everyone around her. I like Finn’s love and caring attitude to his father. For some reason the writing reminds me a bit of Janet Evanovich so if you like her books you will probably like this one, too.
Thank you to the author for the copy of this book to read and review.
