GREAT REPRINT - MISSING ONE THING!

Has already been summerized beautifully by 3/08 -- now just my thoughts.

Mark Savin "Phantom" -- Alexander "Lynx" Stone twin of Victoria Jones, a emotionally timid [due to her grandmother] very bad liar, and proud to be a virgin, trouble is she didn't stick to her guns.

Why are some of these females afraid to learn how to use guns? Not very strong self-preservation instincts.
Tory has a telepathic connection with Alex and can sense where he is. A great help to Marc.

Marc, a past member of T-Flac, is riddled with guilt and a sense of betrayal. But, hey, that is what double agents do.

Will Angelo get a story? Apparently he and Marc are used to working together in the hunt for the "Spider" terrorist group. Yeah! these bad boys are intent in taking out T-Flac. Ha!
The descriptions of the heads of "Spider", Samuel Hoag and Christoph Ragno make these characters truly creepy and ugly dangerous. Mario and Christoph finally got their just deserts.

Loved the description of the Grotto and the escape route - the fast pace - the characters and say "let's read it again".

The only fault [to me a big one] is the fricking, fracking, black-outs I had to mark throughout the book. The effing language, I don't tolerate, and am more than willing to drop an author if it happens too often.

The core of the story is excellent and I would rate it 5 Stars with a minus for language. The old saying is "that if it goes into the mind it comes out of the mouth", so sad but true.

The Mercenary

Marc Savin is retired, or so he keeps telling himself and other former colleagues. He is so retired he has put himself in exile and, in a way, a personal mental hell. The fact that he killed the last person he loved was the sign he needed to get out of the business. But when his former partner Alex tells him he was set up by that former love, he is infuriated. If that was true then the hell he has put himself through was for naught. When he refuses to go on a mission with Alex and Alex is killed, Marc further hardens his heart.

Victoria Jones is a self-confessed coward. But there is one thing she will risk everything for and that is to save her twin. Victoria knows Alex is still alive, no matter what T-FLAC or the authorities say. In fact, she even went to the island where he was to have died, and after she is captured and tortured, she is certain he is alive. Now she will go to the one man Alex always told her was the best. No matter how scary she personally finds him.

When Victoria shows up at Marc's house, he is surprised and not too amused. Especially at her insistence that Alex is alive. Since he sent Alex on the mission alone, he feels compelled to get him out. But he is also more than a little attracted to Victoria and her prim and proper ways, though they are so far from his norm it is stunning.

Hot Mediterranean nights, stressful situations, and physiques to die for will lead the reader into one spicy story.

The Mercenary - the one that started it all, in reprint, finally. If you love the men to T-FLAC created by Cherry Adair but, like me, missed this first story, then run to get this one. While I feel that her characters have grown stronger, as has her writing, during the subsequent novels, this one is still a keeper. I loved how prim and proper Victoria talks to herself and wants to do all that is correct and be in the background, but has a backbone of steel that some might miss. And Marc...what can you say about a secret operative with long black hair, an earring and a physique to die for, other than send me one now? Want to see how it all started? Then you need to find a copy of The Mercenary soon!
