Hidden Agenda
by Lisa Harris
Michael Hunt, an undercover agent in the Mexican drug cartel
has just hours to live. He is shackled,
questioned, beaten and left on a remote island resort of the man who wants him
dead. Another agent has been killed
before his eyes. He doesn’t know what
the cartel has learned about his true identity and has no chance of escaping a
certain death—until he is rescued by Ivan and Olivia Hamilton, the children of
the cartel leader. Even if Michael, Ivan
and Olivia manage to escape from the island, there is no guarantee they will
survive. They may be tracked down and
killed at any point by Olivia and Ivan’s father or one of his henchmen. Olivia and Ivan are just now learning that
their much absent father is not the business man they thought he was. What other lies have they been told by their
late mother and why?
Harris writes a fast-paced, “don’t blink or you’ll miss it”
suspense with a rather predictable romance intertwined. The pace, as well as the questions the
storyline continued to raise kept me reading.
The characters were revealed more by their actions than
thoughts, as an action-packed story would demand, but I found myself not
missing them too much when the book ended, which is one of the true tests of
character development for me. However, I
might have felt differently had this not been the first book I read of this
series. That being said, the author did
convey pertinent information regarding the plot of the preceding books so that
even if the characters were new to me, I knew the important pieces of their
pasts.
The plot left enough questions unanswered regarding Michael
and his family, Olivia and Ivan, that I would probably read a sequel. Readers will probably enjoy the whole series—especially
those who like romantic suspense.
