DEA agent Eve Taylor has had her fill of alpha males. When Resolutions’
operative and former lover, Dillon “Mac” McKenna, threatened her hard-earned
independence, she ran. On a mission to gather evidence against a Colombian
drug-lord, Eve discovers the drug-lord is helping terrorists plan an attack on
American soil. Before she can escape with the vital information, she’s captured
and comes face to face with her mortality…
As a teen, Mac watched his family fall apart after his mother died doing
dangerous U.N. work. The possibility of losing Eve to a mission ignited an
overwhelming need to protect her. When he forced her to choose him or her job,
she walked away. Two years later, it seems all his nightmares have come true
and he’s tasked with rescuing her from a Colombian prison. Mac has never
stopped loving Eve, but does he dare risk his heart when he’s so terrified of
losing…
On the run, Mac and Eve must learn to trust each other again in order to stay
alive.

MY REVIEW
When a mission goes wrong and Eve finds herself up against a deadly and tyrannical drug lord, her life hangs in the balance. Not one to sit around and wait to be rescued, Eve takes matters into her own hands. However, even she needs help and that help comes in the form of 'Mac'. However, her history with Mac makes things difficult and she finds she needs to put her broken heart to one side to just survive.
If you like fast-paced, action packed books then this is the one for you! Resolutions really packs a punch! Not only does it have a swoon-worthy hero called Mac to come to the rescue but it also has a female lead character, Eve, who could save Mac's ass in a heartbeat. Think Lara Croft. This girl is nobody's doormat. But like any good special ops agent, she just can't ignore her heart - a girl, no matter how tough, can still suffer from a broken heart.
This book has the perfect mix of excitement, heart-stopping moments, romance and super sexiness!! Mac is absolutely to die for and I'd let myself be rescued by him any day! The love scenes are enough to make you race for a cold shower but aren't too over-powering. I really liked this book and would highly recommend it.

About
the Author:
Teri
Riggs was destined to be a writer. As a small girl she didn’t read bedtime
stories, she made up her own. Who needed Little Red Riding Hood or The Three
Little Pigs when there were so many great tales bouncing around in her head?
When she grew up and became a mother to three little girls, she continued the
tradition of making up bedtime stories. On the occasions she chose to tell
conventional fairytales, Teri usually gave them a bit of tweaking here and
there or added a new ending. Her girls loved it.
After her daughters had the nerve to actually grow up and leave home, Teri discovered she had a passion for writing and jumped right in. It came as no surprise she chose to write mysteries and happily-ever-after’s since that’s the genres she loves to read.
Teri lives in Marietta, Georgia with her husband, one of her daughters and two dogs that seem to think they rule the world. And some days Teri thinks maybe they do.

Enjoy the following excerpt for RESOLUTIONS:
Beefy hands wrenched Eve
awake from a fevered sleep, pulled her from the cell, and shoved her into a
musty-smelling hallway. I’m being moved? A guard pushed her with one hand,
keeping a tight grip on an AK-47 rifle with his other.
Her shoulder throbbed in
perfect cadence with the pains shooting through her broken wrist, and she had
one badass headache from being punched in the face a few too many times. Using
her good hand, she walked fingers across one cheek, then the other. The right
side was totally numb. Her eye had swollen shut, and she couldn’t see a damn
thing out of it. She ran her tongue across her teeth and tasted the tart,
copper flavor of blood. Three teeth loose. Well, at least they’re still in
place.
In spite of the relentless
pain, she stayed determined to survive whatever Mendoza dished out. She wasn’t
a quitter. No, sir. Duncan Falls, Iowa didn’t grow quitters. Eve ignored the
constant ache in her ribs, courtesy of a guard’s overzealous kick, and took in
a deep breath. She willed herself to stay alert, to keep pushing. Escape. Third
times the charm.
Eve slapped the guard’s dirty
hand. “Hey, Pedro, stop being so damned pushy. Where we going anyway? We got a
hot date I’ve forgotten about?”
He looked puzzled then shoved
her again.
“Don’t understand English, do
you, Diego? Bet you understand this.” Eve drove her elbow into the guard’s
face. Thick rubbery cartilage gave, and she whooped triumphantly.
Blood squirted from his nose
and he screamed.
Eve stepped back. “Yep, I’m
pretty sure you understand that.”
Unable to grab the guard’s
assault rifle, she clutched her injured shoulder, and took off in a slow jog,
no longer able to push any harder.
Her escape was short lived.
