Josie McCall can stand up for herself in nearly any situation. Raised a soldier, she knows how to handle herself in tough situations and could be one of the best mercenaries in the world. But Josie chose to leave her father’s mercenary school to have a normal life, a normal job and leave all that behind her. But when an unknown enemy destroys the mercenary school and her father is missing, Josie uses her skills and training to seek and destroy those who have taken her father.
Josie aligns herself with her father’s new partner, Daniel Black Eagle to find her father. But for the first time in her life, she feels out of her depth. She knows more about bombs, combat and how to protect herself than most people, but up close to Daniel Black Eagle, she feels off balance and struggles to gain her footing.
Can Josie work with Daniel to find her father before it’s too late? What’s a girl, trained to kill, supposed to do with a man who makes her feel every bit a woman…
Willing, the second of Lucy Monroe’s Mercenary Trilogy is more explosive and exciting than its prequel, Ready. Daniel Black Eagle is sin personified. He could tempt a saint with his charm, his prowess and his body. Ms. Monroe writes Daniel so vividly, it’s as if he’s standing right in front of the reader as she reads. I was definitely seduced by this man. Josie is a heroine who was also charming and at times comical for her untapped feelings of sensuality and attraction. To see this strong, trained female try and stay in control is something that was fun to watch, but also what I as a reader like to see. New attraction and love does keep an individual off balance at times and Ms. Monroe wrote Josie’s confusion and mixed emotions just perfectly as she falls for Daniel.
Multi-faceted characters, explosive action and adventure, intense sexual attraction and captivating characters are found in Lucy Monroe’s latest gem, Willing. This author once again delivers a story that readers want. I’m eager for book three of this trilogy, …and Able. It can’t come soon enough.
