Product Description
Amy Walker endured unspeakable horrors while being held as a hostage before she was rescued by Dallas Garrett and his brothers from E.D.E.N., Inc. Amy is determined to leave the past behind…but only after she gets some answers to the questions that haunt her: Why was she abducted by the terrorists? Why is her mother locked up in a mental institution?

Dallas wants Amy to know he’s a man she can trust. He’s incapable of offering her his love but promises his sworn protection while she embarks on her quest to discover the truth about her family…and herself.

Working on a lead, Amy and Dallas team up with an investigative journalist and an unlikely accomplice whose motives are as murky as his past. Soon they are drawn into the depths of a secret organization that practices non-consensual mind-control experimentation—one that Amy’s own grandfather appears to be involved in. With a ruthless enemy closing in fast Amy and Dallas race against time and risk their lives to expose these crimes against humanity…and share a passion neither of them could have expected.

5 out of 5 stars great series to read!   November 11, 2008
Really enjoyed following the characters through these series. It's great that new one are added at the end of each book to give you something to look forward to.
Good characters, excellent plots and not too sappy in the romance department.



5 out of 5 stars Great series   September 24, 2008
I loved this entire series. I think that it is one of the best modern day romance series written to date. Well worth buying and adding to your cindy gerard series


5 out of 5 stars Great conclusion to the series!   August 3, 2008
Having not liked the previous 2 entries in the bodyguards series, I started this book with some trepidation. Thankfully, my worries were for naught. For me, Gerard's writing is better, tighter, more plausible, when she sticks to the E.D.E.N. family members. When she branched outside the family (as in the previous two books), the writing struck me as weaker, sometimes cliched, a bit half-hearted. This one I eagerly awaited because Dallas and Amy first caught my attention in, was it book 1 or 3? Anyway, I've been waiting to hear their story, and this book delivers. Well written, great dialog, great character development. And once again, Gerard introduced two characters I am dying to read more about--the enigmatic Gabe and the mouthy Jenna. I hope Gerard decides to tell their story one day; I bet it will be a doozy!



4 out of 5 stars Maybe not great, but good fun.   July 7, 2008
As a reader I have been looking for authors that I hadn't read yet. After finding one (Lora Leigh) that was no more than porn, I was hesitant to read this author; since I found her tagged on the same page. What a relief! This author writes true romantic suspense for those of us who like our romance without the explicit porn. This is my first book of this series that I've read, but it won't be the last. I liked the hero and the heroine. The story kept me interested and I look forward to learning more about the other characters who will apparently be getting their own stories. As a new reader of this author I say yahoo, thanks for the story. As for other authors who are writing porn these days...shouldn't it be on the cover? Or somewhere? Explicit material should say so, right on the cover. This book is exactly what I had been looking for. Great story, good romance without the porn.


4 out of 5 stars Jones & Jenna stole the show!   September 29, 2007
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

It seemes like I waited forever to get Dallas&Amy's story and while Into The Dark did become an action-packed tale, I can't say the romance between Dallas and Amy moved me. There seemed to be much more between them when they were in the Philippines so that in the end, this romance ends like a shipboard one. Once they reach home ground, the magic fizzles out. This was how I felt about Amy and that's a shame because the book is fast-paced and would have made an excellent movie.

Somehow, the emotion was missing from this book and it shouldn't have been the case because Dallas is supposed to be one tortured soldier, suffering from PTSD but Ms Gerard has failed to pull the reader into his tortured world because she chose 'telling' rather than 'showing'. As a result, when she tells me Dallas can't see a future for him with Amy, I was wondering why not. Sure, his team members got killed or injured in a mission but all soldiers suffer that kind of loss in war time. I didn't get to share even a little bit of what those teammates had with Dallas so when Ms Gerard fast forwards the story, Dallas' reasons for his depression got lost.

As for Amy, I just could not buy into her reason for going after her grandfather. But I guess I don't understand this need for revenge, especially if in Amy's case it was just to ask him why he did what he did. IMO, that was such a dumbass thing to do. Totally TSTL, which makes me feel that Dallas and Amy's romance wouldn't survive in real life.

But I am SO intrigued by Gabriel Jones! He and Jenna truly stole the show from the depressed Dallas and the TSTL Amy. Okay, TSTL is too harsh a word for Amy because she is a very capable and self-sufficient woman. I liked that she had no qualms killing her would-be asassin. I liked that Jones told her she could watch his back anytime. But her reason for going after her grandfather was still stupid.
