 Left for dead, spy Jacob Lomax had no recollection of who he was or who had tried to kill him. The only thing he responded to was Grace Renne, and she made his body feel very much alive.…
Grace was all too familiar with Jacob's body, but his emotions had always been hidden from her. His sudden appearance on her doorstep had frightened and excited her. Never had she seen this side of him—lethal, but protective. He was the perfect man to keep her and her baby safe from hard-core killers, but did he have the skills to be a proper father, too?
Review:
Wrapped around election corruption and crooked politicians, Donna Young's heart-stopping thriller gives readers a criminal to root for by virtue of his sheer evil. Pregnant Grace Renne finds her baby's father -- the man who disappeared from her life without a word five months before -- collapsed on her porch. Too bad Jacob Lomax, Secret Agent, Secret Father (4), can't remember who she is or why somebody is trying to kill him.

The Boduguard Contract (Harlequin Intrigue Series)
Date: January, 2007
 Lara Mercer knew innocent lives were riding on the success of her latest mission. She had every intention of acting alone to steal back a lethal biochemical weapon before terrorists unleashed it on the city of Las Vegas. However, hotshot secret agent Ian MacAlister took his orders very seriously to cover her back. He wasn't about to shirk his sworn duty because his feisty former flame refused to relinquish control. Lara swore she was immune to Ian's laser-blue eyes and smoldering sex appeal, but priorities suddenly shifted when she was exposed to the deadly poison. The impending danger ignited their dormant passions, and it was now a race against the clock to save not only Lara, but also their unborn child.
Review:
After an unexpected encounter with fellow agent Ian MacAlister, Lara Mercer isn't about to let her unplanned pregnancy stop her from completing her mission. She has to stop terrorists from releasing a deadly virus on the world. Ian's not about to let her endanger her life, or their baby's, even if it does mean saving thousands of lives, so he's along for the ride -- whether she wants him or not. Donna Young's The Bodyguard Contract (4.5) is a fast-paced, kick-butt tale of espionage and romantic suspense, crackling with slick dialogue and compelling characters.

 At one time, Celeste Pavenic was the government's number one profiler. Then the President's son is murdered and Celeste becomes the government's number one suspect. When she vows to find the real killer, an assassin named Gabriel engages her in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Intent on seeing his son's murderer behind bars, the President sends his top operative--the one man Celeste loved and hoped never to see again--her ex-lover, Cain MacAlister. Cain has vowed to discover the truth. But when a high ranking official becomes the next target, will the truth force him to choose between his love for Celeste and his duty to his country?
And when Celeste and Cain are thrown into a desperate race against the clock, will the close proximity put them in danger of reawakening their deepest desires?
Review:
Cain MacAlister thought he'd buried his fiancee after a car bomb destroyed her vehicle, but then he finds out she's alive. Celeste Pavenic gave up her old life as a top profiler to hide out from an assassin named Gabriel. When Cain ferrets her out, the two race desperately against the clock to stop Gabriel from targeting his next high-ranking official. Though the characters don't completely grab the reader, the twisting, ingenious plot of Donna Young's Engaging Bodyguard (4) will have readers waiting eagerly to see if Cain chooses between the woman he loves and his country.

Review:
"This story is full of action-packed adventure and suspense. I had a hard time putting this book down before I had completed the story. Ms. Young did a fantastic job tying up all the loose ends and she gave us some wonderful secondary characters too. I hope she writes more stories about the other characters in this book. I look forward to reading more about them."
