Throwback Thrusday: Killing Time by Cindy Gerard

Author: Cindy Gerard

Publication Date: January 2013

For the seven years after Operation Slam Dunk went south, Mike Brown got drunk on each anniversary. The eighth year was no different--until he was drugged by a woman and woke up to her questions about what had happened eight years ago in Afghanistan. CIA attorney Eva Salinas has her own theory behind what happened to Mike's team--which included her husband--in Afghanistan eight years ago, and she's determined to prove foul play. Though she doesn't trust him, Mike is the only person she can turn to for help. Under an assumed name, Eva convinces Mike to assemble a new team and go after the traitor who screwed up both their lives. As they track down the rogue who started it all, Eva and Mike discover they can't live without each other. But can they stay alive while an enemy is still on the loose? 

It's been a while since I have done a Throwback Thursday post.  In 2026, I am going to try to bring it back more.  I am attempting to read a lot of my back log of books that  have been sitting on my TBR pile for a long time.  Killing Time came out almost 13 years ago, and the big bad that the country is fighting has definitely changed.  However, I forgot how much I enjoy reading a book about an broken ex-military ho has been betrayed by his country swoops in to save the damsel in distress. 

This was a good solid romantic suspense.   The attraction between Mike and Eva was intense and I was rooting for them.  I also enjoyed the mystery.  There was a lot of action and danger.  The twists were a surprise as well.  The friendship between Mike and the others from his team was a lot of fun.  It definitely make me want to seek out the other books in this series.  It is an off-shoot of an earlier series by this author, but I didn't find I needed to have read that one before starting here.  If you are in the mood for a good romantic suspense, I do recommend this one.
