Their mission was to combat terrorism in any way they could, including assassination; however, a powerful man, who valued wealth and influence over patriotism and honor, corrupted the Talons. Liberty discovers the betrayal and is determined to stop this man's grab for power and redeem the mission of the Talons, but she is being hunted by someone who can be as deadly as she is. Kayla Sinclair is a former Olympic skiing champion whose career and life were ruined by an avalanche. She had tried to escape from her pain by drowning in alcohol, but is struggling to put her life back together when Liberty takes refuge in her pub. These women are emotionally damaged and each believes she has lost the chance for any happiness in her life. The danger that surrounds Liberty engulfs them both and jeopardizes any future either of them might have. J. P. Mercer has combined some of the best suspense techniques of Robert Ludlum with a story of women who have suffered significant wounds in their lives. Reading this book is similar to watching blockbuster movies like the Mission Impossible or Bourne series. Talon is also a passionate story about two women with love scenes that scorch the pages, but don't let that put you off if you aren't gay. Above all, this is a great adventure book. You're going to want to have read it. And then tell your friends about it. Review by K. Johnson TALON The second woman is Kayla Sinclair. Kayla is a former Olympic skier whose lover and soul mate died in a skiing accident. Since said accident, Kayla went to Hell and back with alcohol and depression. With the help of her loving friends and family, she has rejoined the land of the living, but cannot see herself ever falling in love again. They meet after Liberty is injured on a mission gone bad and shows up at Kayla's mountain lodge. Through a series of crazy events, they begin to rely upon each other and start to feel things that terrify them both. This newest book is by far the best thing from J. P. Mercer yet. Her characters are in precarious personal situations and draw strength from each other, despite their own personal reservations. It would be hard for a reader to avoid falling in love with these women. They're strong, beautiful, full of angst, and passionate. This is certainly one book no one should miss.
