Explosive Encounter (Task Force 779 Book 2)

By K.L. Donn

Trust KL Donn to come up with another story that will surely keep you turning the pages in one sitting, not because it’s a short story, but because you will be hard-pressed to put down such a compelling plot!

Foster Halsey, Task Force 779’s bomb expert, and Everett Gaines, the estranged daughter of a CIA official who was kidnapped while on vacation in Mexico, are the central characters in this story. We also see Foster’s other Task Force 779 teammates plus two more that, hopefully, we will get to meet soon, because, take it from me, once you take a bite of a KL Donn story, you won’t let go!

Why? This author, like a few that I have fallen in love with, takes on real-world situations that most often are shunned by society. Yes, some of you might say that her stories are a bit over-the-top, but that is an author’s prerogative, right? For me, for as long as an author I follow can lead me to the meaning behind his or her stories, then I don’t mind if a little bit of liberty is taken in certain situations.

Take Everett’s case. Who is to say the situation she found herself in, is not real? The trauma, how she responded? The way that KL Donn treated her heroine, to me, felt like she was being careful this time, compared to Ryder and Codie’s story in Missing in Action (Task Force 779, Book 1). Nonetheless, Everett’s story is no less compelling.

Now let’s talk about Foster. Burned by a cheating ex—ahem, I love KL’s word for her, Cheatasaurus Rex—Foster is focused only on his teammates and saving lives. Until, of course, he meets Everett. I am glad that KL Donn gave this alpha hero a more human character, one who can make mistakes and own up to them.

And yes, if I can hogtie Foster to the bed and claim him as mine, I would!
