Hell & Back by Julie Rowe
5.0
Hell & Back lives up to its name. It's shootings, explosions, danger and terror. It's everything I've come to expect from Ms Rowe and more. Non-stop heart-thumping suspense with a dose of romance and passion. If the action doesn't get you excited, the sexy times will.
I've loved all the books Ms Rowe has written on her bio-terrorism books from the start. This one is no exception. I knew I was going to love it, but I didn't realise I would love it as much as I do as my heart was in my throat for most of the book as Henry and Ruby races against time to stop the theft of a deadly virus. Ms Rowe has definitely upped her game on this last book of the series, particularly in light of current times and what's going on in the world with the pandemic front and centre.
I accidentally read one line of a review that started with "Henry is a whole lotta man," and yeah, I get it. Henry IS a whole lotta man. Henry has been a favorite from the moment I read about him in the early books. His dedication, his clever brain, his problem-solving abilities, and the fact that he's overcome so much to be the man he is today. He hasn't let his disability limit him, instead he's trained so he can use it to his advantage. That's turned out quite handy in this instance since the bad guys tend to underestimate him. Henry is not a man to be underestimated. He's smart, strong, resourceful, and determined. He's also honorable and protective. And who knew Henry had such alpha and dominating hidden depths. Henry's packing a lot of firepower in more ways than one. Remember, he's a whole lotta man!!! **grin**
I liked Ruby. She's smart, hardworking, insightful, and brave. She's also been put into an impossible situation where she doesn't know who she can trust and is suspicious of everyone, and that trust comes a little too late in a certain situation. I admit I was very anxious when Ruby was faced with a terrible dilemma and wasn't sure how she would behave. It had the potential to create a lot of drama and drag on painfully, but I needn't have worried. Ms Rowe is a wonderful storyteller and she handled the one situation I was dreading wonderfully. Ruby also has a great wit and a lot of sass to her which she doesn't show very often. She's cautious when she speaks but when she decides to let loose, her words are dagger sharp and incisive.
I'm sad this is the end of the series but I'm looking forward to what else Ms Rowe might do next. I know I'll definitely pick up and read whatever she decides to write and publish next.
