SUMMARY
Florida investigative reporter, Whitney Steel,
has lived in the shadow of her legendary father long enough. To prove herself
she needs to find the “Big” story.
She found it.
Now it may kill her.
After Whitney receives a lead pointing to the world’s first cloned human, now a small child, she vows to unravel the truth. However, sifting through the facts proves to have dangerous results, including death threats and murder.
When Whitney is nearly killed, but is saved by undercover FBI Special Agent, Blake Neely, he refuses to let her get in the way of his own objective—at least not right away.
Caught in a lethal game between a billionaire obsessed with genetic perfection, his hit man’s thirst for retribution, and a Colombian drug lord fresh out of prison determined to make Blake pay for his twin brother’s death over a decade ago…
Can they save an innocent child before it’s too late?
Faced with tough choices, with deadly consequences for many—Whitney soon realizes that sometimes a story becomes more than just a story.

REVIEW
A truly
edge-of-your-seat, never-a-dull-moment read, Reflection has a dramatic start and just never slows down. When her
ex-husband is killed while trying to tell her something important, investigative
reporter, Whitney Steel, realizes that she may be on to the story of a
lifetime. Too bad then that Nathan Shaw, Blake Neely and an enemy from her past
want to prevent her obtaining the information for her story; and at the heart
of all this, an innocent child.
I
thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as it moves forward all the time with no
lengthy descriptions or angsty inner dialogue. The romance in the story is
tastefully written and skillfully distributed throughout the book so as to enhance
rather than interfere with the main storyline.
The
characters are fleshed out and vividly described thus giving the reader
captivating mental images that truly makes the story come alive. I love a
strong female protagonist who can hold her own, kick butt and doesn't indulge
in self pity. Whitney Steel is exactly that. Blake Neely, the male protagonist,
is extremely realistic with his inner battles about keeping Whitney safe, the
death of his sister and, ultimately, his own mission. Let's not forget the bad
guys in this story. Ruthless, mean and self-serving are just some of the
adjectives that come to mind. Add to that vengeful and the author has some
truly nasty but highly realistic antagonists to give our heroes a run for their
money.
I highly
recommend this five-star page-turner to those who love a suspense laden novel
with constant action and well balanced romance. The extra complication at the
end gives this book a unique quality, and, oops, let me stop before I give too
much away! As the book has a slightly open end, let's hope that we'll soon see
another book by the highly gifted Kim Cresswell.
