Point Blank, is all about details. Some were pretty graphic. Since I close my eyes during horror movies, I just skipped a few sentences. Natasha is really very accident prone. Unfortunately it gets her in a heap of trouble. Lucky for her, Brooks is on the case. He is like a Knight in shining armor, the way he's always rescuing women. There is a lot of suspense and a great amount of romance in Point Blank.

I really couldn't get into the book. I wasn't sure if it was authors writing style where is goes into so much detail it becomes distracting to the story or the fact the author tells you everything that is going on with very little showing.
I found the characters to be flat, uninteresting and boring. The female lead drove me nuts because she didn't seem to have any smarts even though she has friends in law enforcement. The "Twist and Turns" in the story are basic almost bring the story to a halt. Nothing in this book is surprising in fact the characters getting together and the ending is very predictable.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance Copy

Natasha and Brooks knew of each other before through marriage, but when he got his orders to go under cover to take Natasha down, his work got a lot harder. Natasha didn't know what was going on till one day when everything exploded and she had put everyone she loves on the line.

Brooks and Natasha meet in passing at her cousin Christie’s wedding but it’s months later before they cross paths again. Brooks works for ICE and when it looks like Natasha may be involved moving illegal drugs for the Jimenez cartel, Brooks is assigned to investigate her. He manages to “bump into her” when she’s out of town at a trade show peddling her wares and finagles his way into her life. It doesn’t hurt that Natasha’s cousin is married to Brooks’ fellow ICE agent, but when Natasha gets threats against her friends and family she refuses to see Brooks again, hoping to protect him.

In classic McCray fashion, “Point Blank” is an intense, emotional, fast paced drama and romance. The plot and storyline are riveting and grab the reader from the first page with twists and turns you won’t see coming. The characters are multidimensional, strong, fascinating and endearing with wonderful chemistry between Brooks and Natasha. Although I’ve read this author’s work for years, the advance copy of this standalone book was my first in the Deadly Intent series and I hated having to put it down a time or two when life insisted on intruding. I can’t wait to read more in the series and highly recommend this book!
