Book Blurb:
Max Grant is a former MI6 operative with a new life in Chicago, a promising relationship with author Cress Taylor, and a past that's about to catch up with him. Ten years ago, Max was caught in an ambush in an Istanbul alley, where most of his team died, and his testimony put a terrorist mastermind in prison. Now, the terrorist has escaped, and he's coming after Max. As Max is inexorably drawn toward confrontation, he must race to stop the mastermind before he eliminates them both. If you like travel and pulse-pounding suspense, combine with a continuing romance, you'll love At the Crossroads.
Sharon Michalove is the author of At First Sight, the story of how Max and Cress reconnected twenty years after their first encounter at Oxford University. A standalone continuation of Max and Cress’ story, At the Crossroads is the second romantic suspense novel in the Global Security Unlimited series.
My Review:
Just when their travel adventure takes off, Max and Cress are in mortal danger from an enemy bloodthirsty for revenge. At the Crossroads is an absorbing romantic suspense featuring an established couple, a psychopath on the loose, and lots of traveling. The descriptive narration is immersive while the setting is lush as the couple travels. The romance is one of a couple in love while trying to navigate the extreme danger they’re in. The action scenes are realistic and full of detail. But it’s the characters which make At the Crossroads impossible to put down.
Let’s start with the characters. In this book, we get to know more about Max’s past and his life prior to seeing Cress again. He was a spy working for MI6 and accumulated enemies. The conflict Max feels between protecting the woman he loves and bringing his enemy to justice is palpable. The more I read, the more attached I became to Max.
Cress is her natural self in At the Crossroads and I loved every scene she’s in. Her strength comes from her heart and her love for Max. She’s such a wonderful heroine. I honestly didn’t want the story to end.
What makes this such an unputdownable read is the plot and the narration. The narration is very descriptive and plunges the reader into the story. The plot progression is perfect for the genre and carries the story from one scene to the next. I found myself reading late into the night.
Sharon Michalove pens an outstanding romantic suspense. If you like romance with suspense, action and adventure, you’ll love At the Crossroads.
