Too Hard to Handle

Not what I expected from looking at the cover but I loved it

This whole series is great!!

Wish there was another one right behind it

Dan "The Man" Currington has known true love with his wife Patti and he had a successful career with this special-op company Black Knights, Inc. He lives the high life, until it all crumbles around his ears. In one moment, he loses his wife and the only way he can deal is at the bottom of the bottle. For years, he halts his career and hunkers down and attempts to forget his heartbreak.With the help of AA, Dan slowly begins to get his life back on track. After a return mission that took him to Kuala Lumpur, he meets Special Service agent Penni DePaul. Sparks fly, until a fatal bombing with the worst timing ever rips them apart and sends them back into their everyday lives.Penni seeks Dan out after she learns some information that he needs to know, but he's on assignment in Peru. What's a woman to do, but to go after her man? So she jets off to Peru and gets wrapped up in the mission taking down a CIA agent who is selling out the US government.I've always enjoyed the Black Knights, Inc. books. The fast-paced suspense makes my heart race, and the steamy romances make it beat even faster.I really enjoyed reading about Dan's come back! Man, that dude has been through the wringer. The internal conflict as a widower falling in love again was genuine, and it make my heart break for him. I was so happy for him to finally get his story, redemption, and happily ever after.And could we talk about Ozzie for a minute? I'm 99.7% sure that Julie Ann Walker knows exactly what she's doing by stringing us along by teasing us with Ozzie and how his story is developing. I see what your up to, Miss Walker...

Too Hard to Handle was so good! Knowing what happened to Dan way back in book one of the series, I couldn't wait to read about him finding his love, and what an action-packed journey it was! I adored Penni and her sassy attitude and she was the perfect match for him. I guessed her secret pretty early on, but it was fun to read about it coming out anyway.The Winterfield link between all of the books continued in Too Hard to Handle and unfolded very well. That plot-line was pretty satisfying to read. He was such an idiot. I wanted to get a few shots at him myself!Too Hard to Handle was a great addition to the series and a book I'll definitely read again.
