Power Play

Power Play Rachel Dylan
When State Department attorney Vivian Steele witnesses two ambassadors collapse as if poisoned at a diplomatic dinner in Washington, DC, she is recruited to be a member of a joint FBI task force assigned to investigate. But she soon finds her by-the-book ways clashing with a special agent in the Diplomatic Security Service, Jacob Cruz. A former Navy SEAL and in charge of the event's security, Jacob takes the attack personally and is driven to…

Power Play by Rachel Dylan gives readers a thrilling ride from the very first page. Vivian Steele is an attorney who stumbles into the middle of a national security investigation. Someone wants her dead and Jacob Cruz with Diplomatic Security Services is charged with her protection detail.

The world needs more thriller/action stories like this. I love Viv’s spunk as she grapples with her decision to join the investigation at the risk of her own safety. Lots of danger and suspense kept me flipping pages. The romance worked for me in this story and didn’t take away from the plot. It wasn’t overdone and felt more natural than a lot of stories where the danger just seems to fling two people together. These characters really belonged together! Jacob is a great character, and I loved his protective instincts when it came to Viv.

You don’t have to read the others in the series to enjoy Power Play, but the other two books are fantastic as well, although this one might be my favorite of the three!

Overall Rating:
5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)
