Meet Taz & Lindsey is this sexy,
suspenseful stand alone in the G-Men Series!
Synopsis
Taz:
My life is finally perfect. My dreams have all come true.
I'm where I want to be with the bureau; having the career I've been planning
since I did my stint in the military. I'm married to the one and only woman
I've ever loved; my heart beats for her alone. Together we've made beautiful
babies that I adore. I'm thirty-three years old and I'm complete.
Then one day, it all changes. Slate recruits me for a
temporary assignment that is underneath the radar for a reason. The bureau
hasn't sanctioned it as a priority, but Slate feels it is because of who is
involved: Sue Ellen Reynard. Yeah, remember her?
Lindsey:
Our lives were perfect. Taz and I had everything we'd ever
hoped for: family, careers and an everlasting devotion to one another. Suddenly
nothing is the same. In a single moment, my biggest fear is realized by one
phone call from Slate: an 'agent is missing'.
My agent; my Taz . . .
This is just the beginning of our long journey. Will
things ever be the same again?
Excerpt
As soon
as the nurse left, I had another visitor.
My wife.
Lindsey.
I hadn't
seen her since the day she'd left in tears and my alleged younger sister had
chewed my ass out for my boorish behavior.
"Hey,"
I said softly, giving her a smile. Hell, if I could choose only one thing from
my past to resurface in my memory it would be anything or everything having to
do with her. She was beautiful and it wasn't hard to see why I'd been drawn to
her.
"Trace,"
she said, coming over to take a seat in the chair closest to my hospital bed.
"You look better than you did the last time I was here."
Yeah.
Trace is my real name. Learned that a week or two ago.
"It's
been awhile," I replied. "I'm sorry if I scared you off, Lindsey. I'm
trying like hell to remember."
"It's
nothing you can help," she replied quickly, giving me a weak smile.
"All we can do is work with what we have, I suppose."
She'd
brought some photo albums with her. "I thought maybe we could look at some
pictures together, that is, if you feel like it."
"Sure,"
I said, "My doctor recommended doing just that."
"Okay,
well let's start with this one then," she said, pulling the one from the
bottom. "We'll take this in chronological order, how's that?"
And she
opened the album and began showing me pictures that had been taken five years
prior. She pointed out my mother and father, her best friend Darcy who I
recognized from her earlier visit with her husband--and my half-brother,
Easton. I saw Slate in many of the pictures, along with his wife who was also
Lindsey's mother. Very pretty. I could picture Slate with her.
"How
did we meet?" I asked, and noticed a blush cross over her face.
"Well,
I knew you because of Mom and Slate--but we actually didn't get involved with
one another until after they got married. I…uh, I kind of got toasted at their
reception. You were nice enough to offer me a ride home, and well…I threw up
all over your truck."
I laughed
at this and, for some reason, I loved the fact that given the choice, Lindsey
could have provided a much more appealing story of how we met and I wouldn't
have known the difference. Yet she put the truth out there, no matter how
disgusting it was. "God, I hope I wasn't an ass about it."
She
laughed too and it was music to my ears. "Not at all. You were actually
very sweet about it. You took me back to your place, put me in the shower, gave
me some of your clean clothes to wear, insisted I brush my teeth and gargle,
and then put me to bed."

Review
Taz is still working for the FBI but he's keeping a low profile these days. He's a dedicated father, a loving husband, and his life is good.
But when Slate comes to him with a secret mission he can't refuse, he embarks in a journey that brings regrets and very bumpy ride when it comes to his family life.
Seeing Lyndsey go from not knowing if her husband was alive to having a almost stranger come back to her is simply heartbreaking. Having these two well adjusted people, a perfectly happy couple go through the things they go through here is a hard pill to swallow.
This is a more political, current events storyline than the other books in the G-Men series but the ability of the author to transport the reader to the different situations with some well researched facts, make the story more believable and it pulls you into the heart of the matter.
They are some very cute moments when it came to situations with the kids, and they were some moments that brought tears to my eyes when it came to Lyndsey and Taz to start rebuilding their relationship. Marriage is not an easy thing for any couple but when it comes to the heart of it, only people who really love each other and who are committed to each other will survive the worst life throws at them.
Andrea portrays what I think is are very realistic situations for some of the men and women who work for the government. Their lives are sometimes torn between the love and commitment to their families and their commitment to their jobs.
If you're a fan of the G-Men series Taz is a MUST read. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, it'll bring tears to your eyes, but most importantly, you will be satisfied when you finish this story.
About the Author
I was born and raised in southern Ohio, and with the
exception of a brief stint in Dallas, TX, have been an Ohioan most of my life.
My dream has always been to write a novel, and back in the early eighties I
tried to do just that, having been influenced by authors such as Kathleen
Woodiwiss, Johanna Lindsey, Rosemary Rogers and Laurie McBain. I remember
writing to all of them through their listed publishers, and the only response I
received was from Johanna Lindsey (who lived in Hawaii at the time.
Ms. Lindsey advised me to continue with my dream; and to
submit to various publishers again and again. Of course, at that time,
publishing e-books yourself was not on the horizon; there were vanity
publishing houses of course, but she advised me to avoid those.
So my dream was put on the back-burner for more than 25
years until June of 2012 when suddenly I no longer had a reason not to write a
novel. My sons were grown; I found myself without a career (blessedly) and the
creative juices flowed once again.
I finished my first novel, "Maybe Baby" in
September of 2012; the next two books in the "Baby Series" titled
"Baby Love" and "Be My Baby" were published in early 2013.
I learned a lot in my first endeavor with self-publishing. I've made so many
friends as a result that it is over-whelming.
In the spring of 2013, I had an idea for a different type of
Alpha, and wrote Book #1 of the "G-Man" Series, titled "Diamond
Girl." This book was well-received, and I followed it with Book #2,
"Love Plus One." These are stand-alone books.
I am finally doing what I love and I sincerely appreciate
the wonderful readers who provide feedback and take the time to comment. I hope
that with each book, my writing has grown and improved as I strive to publish
quality fiction.
