Near perfect read

Pefect Weapon is several cuts above Fetzer's last, Naked Truth. Dr. Sydney Hale escapes a terrorist attack on a top secret government facility. A world-weary Marine (who could be stereotypical, but isn't) is hot on her trail to find and protect her. This fast-paced read will leave your heart pounding. The developing relationship between Hale and Marine Jack Wilson is woven nicely into the plot, but doesn't overshadow the events that really make this book rock. Fetzer has got her groove on with this taut romantic suspence, much like one of her short stories in Tell It To the Marines (also a great read). I was a bit confused when Special Agent Cisco, a man who tries to protect government secrets at any cost, discovers ... whodunit. It was as thought Cisco pulled his conclusions out of thin air. Perhaps I missed something earlier in the story, but I read that section four times to make certain I got it right. Other than that, this book is well worth paying full price - and those who have read my previous reviews know I do not say that lightly. Looking forward to Fetzer's next read.

A Winning Read All Around!

Ms. Fetzer has penned another hot Marine hero and one feisty heroine that will entertain readers. Her fast paced, action packed romance is a thrill a minute ride and will leave the reader fully satisfied by the end of the book. Dr. Sydney Hale's life is forever changed when a terrorist attack on a top secret lab she works in is infiltrated. How did these people know that the lab existed and why did they attack...what were they after? On the run for her life and not knowing who to trust she reluctantly follows Captain Jack Wilson. He saved her life once before and he makes her feel safe she throws in with him. Together they are going to untangle the lies and betrayals and hopefully stay one step ahead of a killer. Jack is unwittingly pulled into a nightmare that not even he could imagine. Three of his friends and fellow Marine team members are brutally executed while on a job for the department of Fish and Game. He wants answers and he wants them yesterday! But, the more questions he asks the more confused and convoluted the situation became. He has kidnapped the one woman that seems to have the answers he needs and the motivation he needs. She has a killer on her tail and has no idea who to trust. This problem has high reaching ramifications...almost to the level of the President. When he gets to know Sydney the more he likes her and the more he realizes he will do what he must to keep her alive. Will they be able to figure out who is behind the terrorist attack before one of them ends up dead? This was an incredibly fast-paced read. Plenty of action which fed the attraction between these two very dynamic characters. Ms. Fetzer has a talent for creating wonderful hero's the reader will fall in love with. I eagerly anticipate her next effort and can only hope that Gabe Cisco might just be the hero...

Pulse Pounding!

Covert Ops Marine Jack Wilson is hunting with his friends when he sees a woman running towards him obviously in distress. When he realizes that she is being chased and shot at, he and his friends immediately jump in to help which results in his friend's death. Dr. Sydney Hale is a scientist who has just made a startling break through for the government. A breakthrough that certain other people want to get their hands on. When a sudden attack on the secret underground lab where she works leaves her as the only survivor, she finds herself running straight into the arms of Jack Wilson. But being unsure of exactly who Jack is and who he is working for, Sydney gives him the slip as quickly as possible. Once she gives the government her position, she is quickly picked up and moved to a safe location. Jack wants answers about the death of his friends and the identity of the woman running through the woods. But he quickly finds out that due to the nature of Sydney's work, he's not going to get any information through official channels. So, using any and all means necessary, he hunts Sydney down and kidnaps her; determined to find out the truth. Only now he and Sydney are on the run together from both the government and the mysterious people who are after Sydney's formula. Passion burns between them as they are constantly on the run from an enemy who seems to be one step behind them. Working together and falling in love, Jack and Sydney are racing against time as they try to prevent Sydney's breakthrough from falling into the wrong hands. In Perfect Weapon, Jack and Sydney's passion burned through the pages while the suspenseful storyline held me riveted. The action never stops and I simply could not stop reading. Intriguing secondary characters left me hoping to see them in the future, while the real mystery of who exactly is after Sydney keeps you guessing. From beginning to end, Amy J. Feltzer's Perfect Weapon is pulse pounding read! Melissa Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Don't Miss This One - For Thrills and Chills - Brilliant

For me a `perfect read' is a fast action page-turner with deep plot; a heroine who is intelligent, sassy, and somewhat feisty; and my hero is a strong, sexy, intelligent and a totally divine `manly' man! Well, PERFECT WEAPON delivers this all in spades in a most `perfect' read! Dr. Sydney Hale is a brilliant scientist whose safe world has just been blown apart. Her secret government `unbreachable' lab has been breached, everyone murdered and as the sole survivor -- now running for her life -- the government's top suspect! Decorated Special Ops Marine Jack Wilson and three of his best friends were hunting on the mountain when Jack spied a woman running towards him. She wasn't dressed for hunting but people shooting at her with silencers made him return fire -- acting first, asking questions later. Jack generally knew who the enemy was but why was Sydney the only survivor and what was she doing in that lab? In finding each of his buddies terminated by professional sniper fire, Jack sought revenge and answers. He also knew a government cover-up when he saw one and he was determined to get to the bottom of it and the `pert little Einstein', Dr. Sydney Hale, was going to give him the answers - if he could keep her alive long enough. Danger dogged their every step. Both held highly classified information they'd sworn oaths on, but their lives depended on sharing that same intel. With neither fully trusting the other, the tension along with a sexual attraction was ready to consume them. As they weighed each other's character; their trust strengthened; and so did their passion in a love neither could resist. *** The chemistry between Sydney and Jack was masterfully done with a cliff-hanger finale that lasts just long enough to tie up all the loose ends! The characters were skillfully crafted with motivations clearly defined. Die-hard romantic suspense lovers - this is a book you do not want to miss!

Now, the cops think she's a murder suspect, the government wants her to come in, and somebody will do anything, including kill, to get the knowledge only she has. Alone, she'll never survive on the run. What she needs is a perfect weapon, and Marine Jack Wilson just may be the answer to her prayers. Jack has always been clear about who the enemy is, but now, he's not sure. Why is Sydney Hale the only survivor of a government lab breach? What secrets is she hiding? Why is the government lying to him? Jack intends to find the answers to all his questions, but first, he has to keep Sydney alive long enough, and if there's anything this Marine knows, it's how to keep moving and fight back. What he doesn't know is what to do about the fierce desire she awakens in him. With no one to turn to but each other, sexual tension explodes into a passionate hunger and a tender love neither can fully trust-or live without. And with the stakes rising, Jack and Sydney will make their stand, gambling everything they have on a choice that could save-or destroy-them both...
