BLURB:
BAD agent Sydney Westbrook must find the perfect sniper for a risky counter-terrorism mission. J.D. Steele, a military sniper whose attitude problem landed him in prison, seems a good candidate. But as they're dragged into a secret world of freelance killers, Sydney begins to discover the man of honor and passion beneath Steele's arrogant façade. It's a man even Steele didn't know he could be -- and a man whose mission will risk the life of the only woman he's ever loved...
THE STORY:
A skilled sniper who's done a bad decision of his life when he lets his anger overruled him and shoots his CO (although I did understand his reason). Enter BAD Agent Sy d Westbrook, who is assigned to look for a qualified sniper to do a particular job to save the president of some unknown country I didn't even knew existed until I've read BA. So Joe (BAD Head) along with TEE (Joe's second-in-command who look like the real leader. lol) and Syd, offered Steele the one deal he sure as hell can't refuse. His freedom for the one-shot-one-deal of a job. x
JD STEELE aka AZRAEL
Steele. Oh my. Nobody does it better than Steele. He's the kind of Hero that you'll definitely love. He's sarcastic, funny-even-not-intended, HOT, handsome-as-sin, witty soooo WITTY that he can absolutely make a comeback statement in a heartbeat. Effin awesome. Haha. I definitely love him! He made me laugh like... 100x all-through-out the story. And I love love love love his name. I really love reading books with yummy H's name.
SYD VICIOUS :P
A lovable-vicious-heroine. Based from the description, I can imagine her as Angelina Jolie look-a-like. Like Lara Croft. Fits tho since it's a thrilling story. I like what she did when Steele refuse to work with them at first. Soo funny. And I love her attitude and over-all character. Not your damsel-in-distress (thank God!).
MY REVIEW:
OMFG. So fucking love this fast-paced-thrilling-yet-super-amazing-story! 5 stars seems not enough to rate this book. I don't know if I'm being biased since I love love RS and it's a Kenyon book but.. it can't be. This book really is worth it. You'll find yourself being sucked into the H/h's banter and witty-sarcastic comments, sexual chemistry, and oozing with appeal side characters (ie, JOE, TEE, JACK, JAKE, ANDRE, CARLOS). The title really lived up to the story, err it best describes the Hero's bad bad bad bad bad attitude. LOL. But I love that bad bad bad guy. <3 Plot? It was good and very well-delivered altho there's one tiny lil downside of this book. It was the unanswered questions you'll have at the end of the story. I don't know if it will be answered in the next book or what.. but it seems a lil hanging on that part. It should have been answered. It seems tho that it was left like that because it would only make the book much longer. Huhu. I badly want to know what happen to Jack, Steele Sr, why Tina is there instead of his father, will Tina became a part of BAD, and soo many more Q. x.x
But anyway, it did not stop me from devouring and loving this book. Blame Yummy Steele for that and the secondary characters. Haha. They made me laugh and giddy esp. JOE and TEE. Migash. I am an instant fan-girl to their platonic-not-love-story. Damn right! I want theirs.. NOW. Obsessed much.
MEMORABLE LINES/CONVO: You'll see just how sarcastic Steele is. Haha. x
"Still alive?" (Randy)
"No, I'm a walking corpse. Can't you tell?" (Steele)
"Has anyone ever won an argument with you?" (Syd)
"Just Tee, and I was drunk and wounded at the time." (Joe)
"You smoke?" (Randy)
"Only when I’m on fire." (Steele)
"I don’t appreciate your humor, Mr. Steele." (Randy)
"I’m an acquired taste." (Steele)
"My mission is to kill the bad guy, save the world, and hopefully end up with the girl." (Steele)
"I prefer to work alone – except in the bedroom." (Steele)
"I do know how to operate a computer." (Joe)
"Yeah, right. What was it you said just ten minutes ago? Get this damned thing off my desk before I shoot it? Now make the call, Mr. Hunt-and-Peck." (Tee)
If I am going to put it all, it would take us forever. LOL. There are just too many. x
BOTTOMLINE:
If you want to read some witty-yet funny sarcastic banter of H/h and some steamy romance at the same time? THIS. IS. FOR. YOU. Abso-fucking-lutely great! <3
PS. I am intrigued to the nth level of JOE and TEE's relationship. OMG. They're just so great and funny that I can't help imagining what their story would be like. *crossed-fingers* I hope Sherri x Love will make them their own HEA. I will be waiting.. x
