Whispered Lies

Gabrielle Saxe has hidden from a killer for the past decade, sending anonymous tips on international criminals to intelligence agencies around the world. When a postcard arrivers from a friend who is supposed to be dead, she takes a risk that catapults her into the midst of dangerous operatives on a treacherous mission--and into the arms of Bureau of American Defense operative Carlo Delgado. Duty-bound to surrender her to Interpol as an international felon, Carlos is the last person Gabrielle should trust and the only one standing between her and death. But little does she know, she holds the key to his survival as well...

What made Whispered Lies work was the characters, Gabrielle and Carlos were both very hurt from something in their past but neither one has given up. Instead, they are both survivors, fighting everyday to right the wrongs of their past. There was tremendous plotting right out of today's headlines, action packed, and the conflict each character faced was fascinating. Any fans of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series should give her B.A.D series a try you will not be disappointed!

As a fan of SK and her paranormal series, I thought this would be a fast-paced novel - it isn't. I have read her other BAD novels and was rather hoping that the heroine would be a kick-ass gal who could give Rae a run for her money. So what if Rae is a trained agent and Gabrielle is a civilian. The cat fight would have been interesting for the male BAD agents to witness. The ending was kind of sappy - Gabrielle learns the truth about Carlos and falls putty into his arms. I would've preferred a more "hard to get" approach. Gabrielle should have learned what the tattoo looked like; recognized it on Carlos and given him hell - before we have the sappy ending. But overall, it wasn't a bad read.
