When the young daughter of Senator Hickman is kidnapped, MacKenzie Security asks for Atticus Rush’s help; he knows the Hickmans, and has worked for them in the past. Atticus is a mercenary, a lone wolf, but when assessing the situation, Atticus concedes he also needs the help of his ex-wife: Lady Olivia Rutledge-Cairn. He retrieves things and people, and she finds them; Olivia is a professional thief. Olivia and Atticus were married for a year, have been divorced three, but oh when they meet again, is the chemistry ever combustible! Who knew that Robin Covington had everything to become a great suspense author! With RUSH, it’s not a secret anymore! The characters are so well thought-out, so well-fleshed out, that I don’t like thieves as heroes, and I totally adored Olivia; she is utterly delicious: a Mrs. Emma Peel for the new millenium! Ms. Covington has woven a tight plot, the pace is nice and steady, and the feeling is one of sophistication and elegance, in spite of Atticus’ gruff attitude. The cover represents precisely the feeling I got from the book: dark blue with the flashes of light. RUSH is not dark, but subdued with sparks of light, that are mostly Olivia’s. Atticus and Olivia have a textured, complex, and passionate relationship, and I loved reading about their pasts. The writing is seamless, the author’s style is polished and nuanced, the dialogues are superb, and the sex scenes are erotic, passionate, and tasteful. More and more I’m convinced that Ms. Covington can do no wrong, the more she expands her horizons, the better she becomes. I hope we get to see more of those fabulous characters, and more of Robin Covington, suspense author! A most excellent read! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Short, sweet and sexy!! Loved this one and Robin Covington bringing her special brand of storytelling to Liliana Hart's MacKenzie Family - brilliant!! When a young girl goes missing the folks at MacKenzie Security vow to get her back and they have just the person to see that happens. Atticus Rush! For this special little girl he will not only agree to come down off his mountain but he'll also agree to work with his ex-wife! They will both do whatever it takes to get the job done. That's the easy part, dealing with the passion that still flares between them, not so easy. Great read and definitely one you don't want to miss. I recommend it.
