Publisher's summary

Now the director of the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, Brooke Fairfax has one objective: stay on top of all threats to the people and property of the Commonwealth. The position is thankless and never-ending. It even pulls her out of Declan O'Roark's bed in the middle of the night.

A power grid failure has struck Kentucky's largest city, and Brooke assumes the role of lead coordinator for the investigation. The power outage pushes the city to the brink of chaos. Police, fire, and rescue workers are overwhelmed - their efforts crippled by failed communication systems, looters ransacking businesses, hospitals running on emergency generators, and people desperate to find safety in a city quickly eroding into lawlessness.

While experts scramble to restore the grid before thousands lose their lives, Declan receives word from an intelligence contact that an Eastern European cell of cyber terrorists is looking to take down the power grid for the entire Eastern Seaboard. Brooke and Declan must combine their efforts before the next attack. But just as they get close to the truth, the attackers turn their attention on stopping their greatest threat - Brooke and Declan.

Brooke can be stranger - but good series

Love this series it’s a really mild Eve and Roarke; less action , less maturity, less intensity but cute.
Brooke let’s you down constantly not getting to her gun like Ever, but the one time she does she drops it!; and she is always being caught from behind without ever using any defense tactics! Cmon femme heroine!!! Love the idea of Declan but he should be able to take care of his own woman’s problems instead of hiring Demitre

Good, but...

I like the story and narrator, but sometimes it's just ridiculous. For someone who is supposed to be good at what she does she has no sense of self preservation. Sheesh

great read with the exception...

I'm sure folks who are native to Louisville cringed at the prounucion of their city
I'm not from there, but do know how natives there expect Louisville to roll off the tongue. I think one just has to pass through one time to be corrected by a local as to the correct way to say Louisville.
so, great narration, with the exception of pronouncing the city.

Excellent action thriller from female perspective!

Just finished my third book of four (?) in the Brook Fairfax series. The writing is interesting, suspenseful, and the main character is a tough woman who is always tangled up in some sort of trouble. Both female and male narration are excellent; voices suit the characters well. Declan = dreamy Irish badass 😍😂 love that these are set in KY and have connections to the Thoroughbred industry! Highly recommend!

story line not as captivating

the story line wasn't as captivating as the first book in the series. It picked up in chapter 6 so I did listen to the rest of the book.

Intriguing book, character development needs work

it's a good book overall, but Brooke needs to learn from her mistakes. She thinks she is invincible, then is shown again and again that she isn't. Instead of developing her character, she continues these idiotic decisions. Alan Smyth doesn't do accents well. I've enjoyed the other books, and this one is alright, but it's not as good as the others.

These books are good BUT!

But they are also a bit frustrating and annoying. I mean I don't want to give to much away but the writer kind of makes him seem weak and more sappy than he should be. She tried to hard to make sure the lead female is such a strong feminist that she makes what's supposed to be a strong hot sexy male role seem so weak in the way and pussified. A woman can be strong and just as important as her man without chopping his balls off to make her seem more important and strong etc. I cannot stand woman that feel the need to put down the opposite sex to prove they are just as good strong or hell even better than. It's not nessicarliy always true is it. It can be close but stop! It comes to a point where it's overbearing and annoying. A woman can be strong in her own right without all of this BS.
