In A KILLING TOUCH, a medical study has been carried out. The records are dubious and the fact that a young man managing the files has died is suspicious. Lana works all her sources, who are surprisingly open with her, to uncover the truth. For some reason, though the obvious diagnosis would be smallpox, nobody treats the dead persons as biohazards, asks if Plum Island has lost a sample, or if bioterrorism is at work. Only Lana seems to be aware of the threat.
Lana's friend Kieralyn,a work partner of Aidan's, tries to pair the two off, but they won't be forced together, especially as Aidan distrusts journalists. In spite of their initial resistance, they are soon having sex. I found the sexual overtones distracting, as I thought they should be investigating, and they made me uncomfortable when Lana was lying in hospital after a serious assault.
A KILLING TOUCH by Nikki Duncan gives the reader a strong, driven female character who seldom answers to her editor. I would have preferred more realism in the depiction of journalism, policing, and medical emergencies.
Book Summary
Journalist Lana Quinn has a way with hard–hitting news. The story she's uncovered has potential, but she needs the help of her best friend's FBI team. She's been rescued by them, worked with them, and partied with them, but convincing the second in command to believe her theory—that a killer's touch sets off a lethal allergic reaction—is a frustrating challenge.
Especially since he excites her, body and mind. He's a danger she shouldn't indulge.
Aidan Burgess is resistant to helping Lana, but not for the reason she thinks. She has a knack for landing herself in trouble, which means she needs protection. Protecting her means staying near her, a journalist, who like all journalists uses whatever—and whomever—it takes to get her story. It's a case he wants to refuse.
Especially since she lights a fire in his blood. She's a danger he can't afford.
As Lana follows up on lead after deadly lead, learning to trust and rely on each other becomes their only lifesaving hope. If their pride doesn't become their final pitfall.
Warning: This title contains a grudge–holding hero who gives "kiss my ass" new meaning, a heroine out to prove herself, and a danger that dares them to trust.
