I haven't read a lot of Lindsay McKenna's work and I just thought I would give her a try. Running Fire is Book 8 of her Shadow Warriors Series and it made for an intense read..

Running Fire was about more than two connecting souls, it was also about the games people play to get what they want no matter who they hurt. It's about surviving abuse and recognizing it.. Sometimes that is harder than actually surviving.

Leah Mackenzie has lived her entire life as the spare.. pretty rough when the "heir" doesn't really exist. She has lived under her father's iron fist and her only true escape is when she learned how to fly. But even then she was trying to make him proud and went to work for the military.. Her need for approval lead her into a disastrous marriage with a true monster.. disguised as the wholesome all American and unfortunately one of her superiors.. Temporary assigned to the Shadow Warriors, Leah is co-pilot on an extraction when all hell breaks loose. As the sole survivor she shouldn't last long.. except Kell Ballard was close enough...

When Kell Ballard saw the helicopter explode he doubted there would be survivors but he waited to make sure and when he saw one daring soul escape the wreckage he immediately went in to help. Discovering that he was saving a very beautiful woman set him just a little aback. But he didn't have time to appreciate her. They were in enemy territory and Leah needed medical attention.

A few short days hidden in a cave completely changed their lives. While they were struggling to stay hidden, scum of the earth, ex-hubby was demanding Leah be "rescued" right now *stomp foot*. Only he wanted to make sure she was punished.. he was sure he could make this disaster her fault. See, never mess with the SEALS.. you just aren't gonna win.

As Leah and Kell struggle to survive they form the kind of bond only two people who go through hell together can even dream of having. Throw in a healthy case of hormones and things get really interesting. But what they really had was two individuals that were bone deep decent. Sure Leah had been crushed in life by the men who were supposed to have loved her but she knows decent when she sees it. And by leaning on Kell, Leah learns how to really fight back.

Ohhhh there were some true moments of joy in this book. Ironic really when the real enemy wasn't those found on the battlefield or amongst the caves of Afghanistan, nope the really enemy is the snake in the midst..

I do so love when retribution came!

And when love, real love followed!

Great Job
