PLOT

Romance. Adventure. Thrills. Murder…

TV news reporter Samantha Steele is one panic attack away from losing her job. Future on the line and cameraman in tow, she follows her mentor on an exhilarating adventure vacation. When he dies while skydiving, her investigative instincts scream “murdered”, and lead her to gorgeous thrill-seeker Zack Hunter.

Zack is an undercover police officer investigating his uncle’s death through the same adventure vacation company. Samantha is a thorn in his side the moment they meet. Not only is she investigating the same case, but the emotionally wounded loner doesn’t want another partner, especially one whose goal is to splash evidence all over the evening news. But Samantha’s persistence is quite a turn-on, and Zack’s overpowering desire makes it harder for him to push her away.

When the killer turns his attention to Zack, Samantha might be the only one who can save him, forcing the anxiety-riddled correspondent to finally face her greatest fear.

Fast paced fun read!
Alive at 5 by Linda Bond may be her debut book but I couldn't tell it. I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down. Samantha Steele is a news reporter following a friend on an "adventure vacation". She is strong, independent and flawed. Zach Hunter is a cop taking time off from work to track down is uncle's murderer. He is all Alpha male, he is very good at his job and flawed. Linda's characters are well developed, the plot had so many twists that I never guessed who was behind all of the evil deeds. The secondary characters did well in supporting the H/h and the story. I kinda liked Sam's cameraman, George, because he added so much flavor to the adventures as he filmed Zack. The dialogue between Sam and Zack was believable and sometimes humorous as they both wanted to control everything. They actually made a great team when they began to open up to each other. I am looking forward to more books from Linda Bond.

THIS IS ONE OF THE DON'T MISS BOOKS OF 2014
This was a fantastic book! You don't often find romance novels that have everything like this one does. You have some humor, lots of action, some steamy moments which let's face it we almost all read these for. This one doesn't't allow the typical romance novel formula which I think is definitely one of its strengths. I have no fingernails left due to some pretty intense moments! I don't like to give any spoilers in my reviews just the high points of the book in my opinion and a general recommendation. So if you want a book that will leave you on the edge of your seat and cheering on the characters and wanting to follow them on their next adventure then this will be the book for you! Personally anything Linda Bond writes will always be on my must pre order as soon as the option is available.

Great romance, steamy thrills and chills!
Oh my gosh! I was blown away by this book. I can't remember the last time I held my breath in fear while reading a book! THIS book is great! Love, love, loved it! I proof read lots of books and never feel compelled to leave reviews but this book has everything. I just had to post a review to share how good it is. Romance, suspense, a strong female and a great alpha male. I could not wait to find out what happened next! Could not put it down. You can't go wrong with this book!
