I've finished "Dead Heat" the 8th book in her Lucy Kincaid series by Allison Brennan.
Dead Heat (Lucy Kincaid Novels) Mass Market Paperback FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid takes on her most explosive case yet in New York Times bestseller Allison Brennan's Dead Heat.
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
Assigned to San Antonio’s Violent Crimes unit, Lucy Kincaid joins a team of seasoned veterans and newer agents for a task force called Operation Heatwave. It’s supposed to be a simple sweep of known offenders with outstanding warrants. But when Lucy and her team try to bust two local brothers for jumping bail, she walks into a hotbed of pure evil. Their names are George and Jaime Sanchez. They are charged with murder, drug trafficking, and worse. And one of them is still out there.
THE HEAT IS ON
As Lucy races to capture Jaime Sanchez, more shocking evidence comes to light. The brothers have been using their basement as a holding cell for children they kidnapped for the cartels. When George agrees to turn on his brother, he is murdered behind bars. Now Lucy has no choice but to go outside the law. Enlisting the help of her boyfriend Sean Rogan and his mercenary brother Kane, she will risk her career — and both of their lives — to bring down a crime lord’s empire before more innocent lives go up in flames.

My Review:
Storyline: Lucy Kincaid is assigned to the San Antonio Violent Crime unit and joins the Operation Heatwave Task Force to take down fugitives with outstanding warrants. When Lucy and her team go after two brothers George and Jaime Sanchez all hell breaks lose.
Both are charged with murder, drug trafficking and other worst crimes. The evil one Jaime manages to escape.
Characters: Lucy is a confident, smart, intuitive and brave young women. I'm glad that her past hasn't stopped her from becoming a FBI agent and listening to her intuitions.
Romance: I also love how her relationship with Sean is moving ahead to the next step and how they support each other. I love how Sean is very protective of Lucy and actually stood up to his oldest brother Kane (LOL!)
Villains: The villains are quite vile and sadistic who love torturing kids and then kill them. The death scenes can get quite descriptive.
4/5
Thanks St. Martin's Press for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
