The Blurb:
Alexa Martinez was raised to believe that murder,
deceit, and lies were a part of life. A trained killer, she follows in her
father's footsteps, specializing in political assassinations for Martinez
Security--contracted through the CIA. She thrives on the power, money, respect,
and--most of all--the adrenaline rush.
Despite the danger associated with her profession, Alexa strives to give her children a normal life. But when her past catches up with her, they become pawns in a deadly game of revenge. Operating from a secret base, five levels below ground, Alexa struggles to unravel the puzzle, uncovering secrets that will alter their lives forever. Now she must make a choice--is she willing to die to give her children a life outside the bullet-proof glass?

My
Review
Basement Level 5: Never Scared was amazing. I was captivated from the first page and I
kept wondering why the heck I hadn’t read it sooner.
I love a strong female heroine, and you can’t get any stronger than kick
ass Alexa. This woman took power, control and strength to another level. The fight scenes increased my heart rate as I read them because they were so awesomely written.
I
don’t do spoilers, so I’ll just say that if I wasn’t so afraid of Alexa, I
would totally want to steal the hero away from her. He was just so sexy, loving, intelligent, and alpha that I wanted him to be real. The relationship between Alexa, the hero, and the supporting
characters was amazing. Each person had their own story, but it blended into one
wonderful novel.
Ms.
Wright surprised me so much with the twists and turns that I stopped trying to
anticipate what was going to happen and let her take me on the wild ride that
was her novel.
The
one thing I had difficulty with was liking known killers so much. It placed me
in the gray area. I kept thinking that I should condemn her
somehow, but Alexa and the crew were so likable and justified in so many ways that I couldn't judge their past. Instead I rooted for their future.
If
you want a smooth, well written, action packed novel with some sweet steamy
romance, then this book is for you. I highly recommend it.
I
give Basement Level 5: Never Scared, five out of five chocolate bars.
I
purchased this book from Amazon.com
I love a strong female heroine too. This books sounds super cool.
