Backlash

 





CIA analyst Layla Karam is thrust into a dangerous DEA field operation against a cartel that puts a target on her back. Though Layla never wanted to be a field agent, Langley had other ideas. After one of her team members is murdered because of fallout from the op, Layla is left scrambling to find safety.


At the same time, the CIA opens up an internal investigation against her. Out of options, Layla turns to ex-boyfriend and private investigator Hunter McCoy for help finding out who might want to ruin her career.

Layla and Hunter soon discover a mole inside the DEA has sold out the team's identity to the cartel. She must clear her name with the Agency and protect herself and her teammates from cartel retaliation. With threats on all sides, Layla must put her trust in Hunter--the man who broke her heart--and hope they both come out of it alive. 

For those who are content sensitive: this book contains non-graphic scenes and descriptions of physical and sexual assault.


MY THOUGHTS:

 Rachel has excelled again in her latest book "Backlash".  Layla knows how to hold her own. As arrows come at her from all directions, who can she trust? Perhaps an ex-boyfriend. But can she really trust him? She is an honest person and goes by the book in her job. Will it come back to haunt her? Possibly, but what can Hunter, her ex-boyfriend do to help? I really like Layla, she's strong, determined, hard-working and skilled. She is also a person of integrity and will do what is right regardless of the cost.
You'll keep turning the page and before you know it, you've finished the book.
A MUST READ!

Blessings,
Karen
