Kill Without Mercy

From the hellhole of a Taliban prison to sweet freedom, five brave military heroes have made it home - and they're ready to take on the civilian missions no one else can. Individually they're intimidating. Together they're invincible. They're the men of ARES Security.

Rafe Vargas is in Newton, Iowa, only to clear out his late grandfather's small house. As the covert ops specialist for ARES Security, he's eager to get back to his new life in Texas. But when he crosses paths with Annie White, a haunted beauty with skeletons in her closet, he can't just walk away - not when she's clearly in danger.

There's a mysterious serial killer on the loose with a link to Annie's dark past. And the closer he gets, the deeper Rafe's instinct to protect kicks in. But even with his considerable skill, Annie's courage, and his ARES buddies behind him, the slaying won't stop. Now it's only a matter of time before Annie's next - unless they can unravel a history of deadly lies that won't be buried.

Mostly action, not romance

If you enjoy a story of action and, "who done it," you will enjoy this book. If you prefer a romance with a side of action, this will be a disappointment. There is an instant romance, one good sex scene and an epilogue describing their future but, it definitely is not the focus.

The narration is as awesome as Jim always is and if you like a James Patterson type of novel, you'll not be disappointed.

Good Book

This is a good book, not great. Easy to know where the story is going. If you can pick it up for free get it.

Mercy

This was a great story, lots of unexpected twists and turns. My only complaint is the narrator didn't do character voices, Annie sounded the same as all the guys on the Ares team. The sheriff is the only one who sounded at all different, imo. Still, I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Teagan's story looks like it should be a wild ride!

Could have been 5 stars

Would have gotten 5 start if it wasn't for the cheesy love chapters. Don't want to give too much away but it cheapened it.

Awesome

Wonderful start to a new series. I never got bored, lots of character development, romance, and action. Can't wait for the next book.
