Cover Description:
Biotech tycoon Noah Gallagher has a deadly secret: his clandestine training as a super-soldier gives him abilities that go far beyond human. Yet he’s very much a man. When Caro Bishop shows up at his Seattle headquarters with a dangerous secret agenda, his ordered life is thrown into chaos. Caro is a woman like no other—and her luminously sensual beauty cloaks a mystery he must solve.
Caro’s lying low, evading a false charge of murder. She means to clear her name, and she’ll do whatever it takes to survive—but seducing a man like Noah is more than she bargained for. His amber eyes have the strangest glow when he looks at her—she could swear he sees the secrets of her heart. The desire smoldering in Noah’s eyes awakens her own secret hunger, but Caro has to resist his magnetic pull. Anyone close to her becomes a target. The only right thing to do is run, far and fast, but Caro can’t outrun Noah’s ferocious intensity—or deny the searing passion that explodes between them.
Nothing else matters—until a vicious enemy bent on the ultimate revenge puts his murderous plan into play. Noah and Caro must battle for their lives…and their love..
Right Through Me starts the series off with a powerful punch and I don’t expect this rocket ride to slow down any time soon. We are entering a world where super soldiers are very real, where enemies are ruthless and truly evil villains and where emotions might get in the way but when then take root nothing will stop these characters from their unique loved one.
We are introduced to Noah’s “crew”, all who where taken as teens, enhanced and trained until their escape. One of their members has been kidnapped by an enemy hiding in plain sight. With a hero who denies emotions, a heroine who is on the run for her life and has vital information that could help this crew take down the enemy, Right Through Me delivers action packed, fast paced situations throughout. This is also a very sexual story as Noah and Caro never deny that they feel lust for each other. In time that will turn into a strong love but at first it’s pure sex. If that is an issue for you, then be aware that these two like sex, a lot.
The world that Ms McKenna has built for us is fascinating and intriguing. The secondary characters are believable and play a strong role in this story so I would suspect that will continue through the series. There are threads woven through that are not completely tied off in this story, as I usually expect with a series and this many secondary characters who will have their own tale to tell at some point.
I enjoyed Right Through Me and now it’s a must read series for me. If you enjoy fact paced, action filled Romance with a touch of Paranormal, Science Fiction, Suspense and Mystery tossed in then you would enjoy this story. I would highly recommend it. You’ll find a solid, good story with characters that leap off the page and into your imagination.
*I received an e-ARC of Right Through Me from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*
