I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Back in Black introduces fans to new members of the covert organisation Black Knights. I must say it was fun returning to this world where danger, action, suspense, humour and romance reign.

In this instalment, we meet FBI agent Grace Beacham and BKI operative Hunter Jackson. From the very beginning, readers are made aware that Grace and Hunter knew each other in the past, but haven't been in contact with each other for the past three years. They shared a moment then, however, but uncertainties kept them apart. Now Grace faces a dangerous situation and the one person she can count on for help is Hunter. Soon both were on the run not only from the FBI but also from the Russian assassin tasked to put an end to Grace's life.

Back in Black delivered as one has come to expect from Walker. Fast-paced and nail-biting, be prepared to pull an all-nighter with this one.

The portrayal of Grace and Hunter added depth to the story. Both were strong individuals who had experience pain in the past. Of the two, Hunter's past was the most heartbreaking. So despite how he felt about Grace, feelings of inadequacies plagued him.
A few of the characters from the previous series made cameo appearances. It was lovely catching up with them and their families. Readers also get a glimpse of the couple whom will feature in the second book.

The story featured more than one villain, however not all were dealt with. The one pulling the strings, known as Bishop, is waiting in the wings to continue his path of destruction. So while Grace no longer faced a dangerous situation, the Black Knights' job is far from over.

The story delivered a fabulous blend of romance, suspense and political intrigue, making it suitable for fans of romantic suspenseThis review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
