Sullivan's Last Stand (Harlequin Intrigue, No. 632)

Summary: Sullivan's Last Stand
Review: Harper Allen delivers her second tale of The Avengers in "Sullivan's Last Stand." When her sister disappears, Bailey Flowers blames her former lover, Terrence Sullivan. Sullivan's detective agency was investigating her sister. Now both the investigator and Bailey's sister are missing. Can Bailey work with Sullivan to find out what happened, and uncover the secrets that kept them apart?

Allen's Intrigues tend to be thoroughly different and imaginative. "Sullivan's Last Stand" is no exception, an interesting puzzle told in her distinctive voice. I don't think I've ever read a mystery quite like this in romantic suspense, full of unexpected twists and shifts in direction. As always, readers looking for a breath of fresh air in the often stagnant world of romantic suspense will find it here. Her heroine is strong and fiery, her hero full of dark charm, and their story culminates in another spectacular, emotional and unforgettable climax. This is the perfect companion to the wonderful first Avengers book, "Guarding Jane Doe," not letting down readers in the least. Probably the best one-two punch since the first two books in Gayle Wilson's Men of Mystery series. Don't miss it!
