Review:
To paraphrase Shakespeare, there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in our philosophies.
Devon Dearborn and Mikhail Volkov find out precisely how much more in Risky Maneuvers, a sexy, Sci-Fi action/adventure that finds the former lovers, after a years-long separation, thrown together on a mission arranged by… Oh no, I won’t reveal my sources. Let’s just say the two men are manipulated by a foreign presence secreted away by the US Government. Full disclosure, honest politics? Not even close. The former US Army captain and the Russian mercenary find themselves pawns in a dangerous game of strategy and survival, maneuvered and manipulated by the CIA. Is it an outright betrayal or a lie by omission? Or is it simply business as usual in the secret games the government plays under the noses of the unsuspecting public? The answer is yes. To all of it.
Devon and Mikhail have some unfinished business and unresolved issues to confront, weighing their feelings for each other against their past and a less than certain future. The two men play off each other beautifully in an erotic battle of control—two intelligent and dominant men for whom love and devotion serve to prove they are much stronger together than they can ever be apart.
Fans of science fiction, political scheming, and intriguing men who make you wish their story would last for many, many more chapters should treat themselves to these Risky Maneuvers.
