Kyle is going undercover as a bodyguard in the notorious Alvarez cartel. He and his team from Walker Security hope this will get them a step closer to finding Myla, the sister of Kara. A year ago she disappeared and they've feared her death ever since. What Kyle doesn't plan on is being the bodyguard to Myla and finding that she's stronger and smarter than they ever imagined. She seems to be Alvarez' women, but it may be an act, Kyle just has to figure out which man she is playing.

"'When are you going to tell me who you really are?'
'When you tell me who you really are.'"

Everything I loved about the Tall, Dark & Deadly series is found in Deep Under, only this time we're meeting one of Walker Security's employees. Kyle is the typical handsome, alpha male who happens to have a soft side for our heroine, Myla. Myla is, at first, sweet and innocent, determined to make her dreams come true. Over time we find she is really cunning, headstrong, and courageous. Both characters are likeable, the kind you root for from the very start, so it was easy to get sucked into the story. Deep Under is written in a way that immediately puts you into the shoes of each character, we feel Kyle's obsession for Myla and we immediately know her distrust, but also know her need for help. They have amazing dialogue, insane chemistry, and of course, a shared threat of being underneath Alvarez' watchful eye.

"We're fire, sweetheart. We both know it."

I really enjoyed the storyline in Deep Under, it has a much faster pace than the Tall, Dark & Deadly series had, with LRJ writing a complete story in one book. It's action packed, suspenseful, sexy, and has a true beginning and end. It also featured LRJ's standout voice, her tone of writing is so different than others and is definitely why she is one of my favorites. Deep Under features LRJ's complex and detailed writing, allowing readers to really get in on the action, to picture the scene completely. There's twists and turns and ends with a promise of something more.

"He's close to me. I'm goign to let him get closer."

If you haven't jumped into Deep Under, book one in the Walker Security series, you're missing out. It's the perfect series tie in to Tall, Dark & Deadly, only this time I might be even more in love with the characters. Even if you haven't read Tall, Dark & Deadly, if you're a fan of romance with a ton of suspense, this is the series for you. Lisa Renee Jones has such a standout voice in the Romantic Suspense drama and she really engages you from start to finish. Plus, like all LRJ books, Deep Under has just the right amount of sexy. Add this one to your pile, everyone!

What a great start to this series. I am doing this backwards as I'd read book 3 first so now I'm backtracking. This author is becoming a favorite of mine. Loved Kyle and Myla together. Now on to the next book. ( )

Lisa Renee Jones makes danger sexy. She's like a mad scientist obsessed. But there's a method to the madness. The formula for temptation does not come easy but shake in a lot of action and mystery and the thrills begin. Deep Under is a prime example of it. Kyle and Myla are in deep. Danger, secrets and attraction come from all sides of the equation. What will they do. Ms. Jones may leave you on the edge but she never leaves you hanging. Her stories are full of legendary thrills that never leave you bored but do leave you breathless. ( )
