     Finally!  The end of this series, while not necessarily a happy thing, is very much appreciated.  I've loved the series since the very beginning and each book got me hooked more on the agents of the Committee.  This was a bang-up ending and a great story for Reno and Jilly's tense, but satisfying, romance.  The first time these two characters met each other the attraction between them was so tangible... and they were very much secondary characters.  Then there was another meeting between them in Isobel's story ~ brief, but still even sparking from the pages.
   I knew that their story was going to be a good one ~ and it was.  It may have gotten off to a slow start, that's the way it seemed, but once the tinder caught that it was it ~ a conflagration!  VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

#62 – Fire and Ice by Anne Stuart (Mira, May 2008)

challenge_name: 

book cover"In the wake of a failed love affair, brainy beauty Jilly Lovitz takes off for Tokyo. She's expecting to cry on her sister Summer's shoulder, then spend a couple months blowing off steam in Japan. Instead, she's snatched away on the back of a motorcycle, narrowly avoiding a grisly execution attempt meant for her sister and brother-in-law.

Her rescuer is Reno, the Committee's most unpredictable agent. They'd met once before and the attraction was odd-tattooed Yakuza punk meets leggy California egghead-but electric. Now Reno and Jilly are pawns in a deadly tangle of assassination attempts, kidnappings and prisoner swaps that could put their steamy partnership on ice."

Rating:  Excellent - 5 stars
