My Review:

Wow. Just wow. 

Can I leave it at that? 

Okay, I would highly advise getting a copy of book one, read it, then read this one. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, it wouldn't be fair to you to miss all the goodness from book one. Quite a few characters, including the main character Gil, are from book one.

Malicious Intent sucked me in from the first scene, and I did not want to put this book down. Nor did I want it to end. There is so much action, witty banter, friendship rekindled, and so much more.  This is suspense at its finest. Want to know more READ THE BOOK!

Oh, and special thanks to Net Galley and Revell for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a favorable review. I almost forgot to put the statement here because my son wanted to read the book and bought it, so I stole his paperback copy and read it 😂

P.S. I hope there is a third book in the series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

★★★★★/5

Synopsis (from Goodreads): 

Dr. Ivy Collins, founder and CEO of Hedera, Inc., is ready to begin clinical trials of her company's cutting-edge prosthetic. Her work has been heralded by government, medical, and advocacy groups and everyone hopes the device will be a success. Well, almost everyone. Someone is trying to sabotage Hedera and the launch, but to what purpose--and how far will they go to get what they want?

Meanwhile, U.S. Secret Service Agent Gil Dixon can't believe he's finally been reunited with Ivy, his childhood best friend. Now that he's found her again, Gil intends to spend the rest of his life with her. But it will take all his skill to uncover the truth in time to save Ivy's life's work, her own life, and the innocent lives caught in the crossfire.

Perfectly balancing chilling suspense and uplifting romance, award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn delivers a story of revenge, greed, and overcoming that you won't want to put down no matter how late it gets.
