PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
When State Department attorney Vivian Steele witnesses two ambassadors collapse as if poisoned at a diplomatic dinner in Washington, DC, she is recruited to be a member of a joint FBI task force assigned to investigate. But she soon finds her by-the-book ways clashing with a special agent in the Diplomatic Security Service, Jacob Cruz. A former Navy SEAL and in charge of the event’s security, Jacob takes the attack personally and is driven to act quickly, even ahead of the rules and regulations. As Viv starts to work her diplomatic sources, her past as a State Department lawyer comes back to haunt her, and secrets held tightly by the government thrust her into a web of danger. Afraid, Viv turns to the one man bent on protecting others. But can she accept Jacob’s reckless ways as exactly what she needs to stay alive and to discover the truth behind the attacks?

My Review:
What a page-turner of a story! This book is part of Rachel Dylan’s “Capital Intrigue” series and the word “intrigue” accurately describes this story that’s full of political intrigue and danger. I don’t want to give away any spoilers for the book, so I won’t be giving specific details of the plot.
I liked the main characters’s personalities. Vivian and Jacob have different personalities and outlooks on how their mission for the task force should be handled. I liked the fact that we get to see both of these characters change and grow in their faith. But as danger presses in closely for Vivian, they begin to work together as a team. This story kept me guessing all the way throughout the storyline, and the title “Power Play” certainly lives up to its promise of an exciting story.
This has been an exciting series. It’s easy to follow this story without having read the other two books. If you enjoy this book, you’ll want to read the others, also.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
