More SEALs! Yummy

This book was by far the hardest to read for me. The plot was intense, and it was hard to keep up with all of the characters, since there were so many. But Ian and Kira were great, and their chemistry was off the charts! Defintely a series worth reading!

Lovin' Me Some SEALs

Ian Richards - a good man produced by bad blood - has betrayed his Navy SEAL brother-in-arms and has become a traitor to his country. As the son of the infamous drug lord, Diego Fuentes, Ian has stepped forward to claim his birthright as the heir to the Fuentes Cartel. Although, unbeknowst to the Durango Team- his SEAL brothers, and his father, Ian has tipped the first of a house of cards. The plan is to kill Sorrel - a U.S. terrorist threat, and in the process, murder his father thereby toppling the Fuentes Drug Cartel into the dust.

Being immersed in the cartel for a year, Ian's soul has become weary. Blood he has shed coats his hands and his heart. He tries to justify these deaths by reminding himself that the men were murders, drug dealers, rapists - monsters. Yet still, his soul weeps while his identity as Ian Richards slowly disappears into that of Ian Fuentes.

Kira Porter is leading a double life. One as the wealthy society princess and the other as The Chameleon. Kira is a covert operative agent working for the Department of Homeland Security. She can morph herself into being completely unrecognizable, even to those who know her well. In her several disguises, she infiltrates terrorist cells and reports back to handlers so that the Navy SEALs can move in and take down the threat she has captured.

Kira has developed so many disguises, so many personalities and lives that she doesn't know her true self. She feels incredibly isolated and lonely in her ever changing persona. That is until she meets Ian. The two have crossed paths several times. Her operating as The Chameleon, and Ian as part of the silent and deadly force of the Navy SEALs. Each time, no matter how different she makes her appearance, Ian can recognize her. With an almost imperceptible lift of a chin, or direct hard stare, Ian acknowledges Kira in the field, letting her know that he sees her. This fascinates Kira to the extent that she researches Ian endlessly. She takes contracts where she knows that the Durango Team, and thus Ian, will be involved just so that she may see him again. Kira also gets the feeling that Ian is just as fascinated with her as she with him.

Deep down, Kira knows that Ian is not a deserter of his country nor a traitor. Because of this she will shed her disguise and ultimately her protection as The Chameleon, to go to Ian and offer herself - Kira Porter - to Ian Fuentes. She will protect him at all costs. And when she discovers that Ian is there to kill his father, Diego Fuentes, she will never let him achieve this goal. Not only has the Department of Homeland Security contracted her to keep Diego Fuentes alive, but she cannot allow Ian to completely destroy his soul. No man should ever have to wield the weapon that kills his father.

Ian and Kira are explosive together. Ian, with his soul seeped in blood and guilt, finds light and love in Kira's strength and determination to make him feel complete. Meanwhile, he forces Kira to be the woman while in his arms and not the agent thus revealing to Kira her passionate nature and her desire to love Ian and be loved in return.

As with all Lora Leigh novels, Ian and Kira discover themselves and their feelings for each other through very graphic and erotic love scenes. What I love about Leigh is that her sex scenes are never redundant. Each one breaks through emotional barriers that the characters have erected and developed over time. In each scene the characters are tested more and more until their previous illusions and walls come crumbling down with a shattering release and the hero and heroine can finally express their love for one another.

In addition, Leigh has created a very interesting and sympathetic villain. Diego Fuentes is an evil madman yet all he truly wants is the love of his son and the chance to maybe one day hold his grandchildren. The reader understands Diego's plight because it's so natural for one to want children and their love. Yet, Diego also exhibits his ability to kill with stunning remorselessness and ease. This combination is quite compelling and adds to Ian's growing anguish and frustration with his resolve to kill his father.

Lora Leigh gets better with each novel she writes and 'Killer Secrets' is definitely following this trend. Her plot lines have become more complex while her characters have gained emotional depth and range. She is an auto-buy for me and will continue to be so after this great read.

The only aspect that brings down my assigned grade is that this novel, although can be stand alone, I feel is confusing without having read the previous titles in her Tempting SEALs series. To better understand Ian and Diego Fuentes, I recommend starting from the beginning with 'Dangerous Games' and 'Hidden Agendas'.
