ARC REVIEW Heart of Danger by Sidney Bristol




Sidney Bristol's Christmas novella Heart of Danger is a Aegis Group novella and also the start to a new spin off series Body of Danger. Val and Duke were introduced in the last Aegis book, Dangerous in Transit, but it is not imperative to read it each book is pretty much a stand-alone, but it is a pretty awesome book so I would recommend it anyways.

Val and Duke are spending Christmas in her hometown of La Playa in Colombia where the whole town goes all out for the holiday but once they get there they discover the entire town is too scared to even decorate. Val is determined to get to the bottom of it and Duke goes along with it to keep her safe. Even before Val started working with Duke she has had a crush on him, and Duke feels the same but they are both worried about crossing that boss/employee line and afraid they will ruin not only their working relationship but also their friendship. But dealing with the dangerous situation they found themselves in forces their hands and they finally admit their feelings, as they dig deeper into the problem with the town they discover it's bigger than they thought and now the whole valley might be in danger from their interference.

Overall, a great novella. I was hoping that Duke and Val would get their own story when I was reading Dangerous in Transit. I loved Abuela, oh my she was a hoot. Sidney took her time with the characters making sure they had a background and plenty of chemistry with each other in between the other book and this one without going into too much detail and distracting away from this story. The end really cracked me up, I don't think I've ever read an ending quite like that before.
