Explanation Conducive To Books Street Game (GhostWalkers #8)
For Mack McKinley and his team of GhostWalker killing machines, urban warfare is an art. But despite a hard-won knowledge of the San Francisco streets, Mack knows from experience that too many things can still go wrong. Danger was just another part of the game - and now he's come face-to-face with a woman who can play just as tough. She's Jaimie, a woman with a sapphire stare so potent it can destroy a man. Years ago she and Mack had a history - volatile, erotic and electric. Then she vanished. But now she's walked back into Mack's life again, as a spy with more secrets than are good for her. Against all odds, she's hooking up with Mack one more time to take on an enemy that could destroy them both, or bring them back together in one hot, no-holds-barred adrenaline rush.Describe Of Books Street Game (GhostWalkers #8)

This book introduces a third Ghostwalker team and actually tells us that there are 4 official teams, one in each branch of the military. The team in this book is lead by Mack and also contains Kade who is briefly mentioned in Deadly Game as one of the men who help the imprisoned women from one of Whitney's bases. The one nice thing about this book is you kind of get an idea of how many Ghostwalker teams are out there and how they are related. I've been a big fan of this series but the latestI have loved the other Ghostwalker books, they are a great deviation from the normal Paranormal Romance. This one, I had a hard time wrapping my mind around. And the female character who started out strong, became more of a wimp and way too angsty. Maybe once I get this new team of urban warfare figured out, I will like this part of the series better. There were a few good action scenes and a few non-angsty relationship scenes, but if I had been Jamie, I would have knocked Mack down a step or
Nope, this is the end for me. I mean really, what do you do when you don't like either protagonist? Stop reading the series. I thought they were both ridiculous, childish, immature and I couldn't root for either one of them. So I think I'm gonna take a big long break from this series.
The GhostWalkers move out of the swamp and jungle and into the territory of urban warfare with a completely new team of enhanced soldiers, together since childhood, that stumble upon "the one that got away" two years ago, breaking all their hearts, one more than the rest.Jaimie left the brutal world behind her, but it came knocking on her door yet again, with Mack McKinley bringing his team into "her" city on the heels of an arms-trafficking terrorist group. Jaimie and Mack were close once, but
For the most part, I enjoyed three-fourths of Street Game and it was well on it's way to a 5 star read, but the last quarter of the book didn't do it for me. This book took a whole new spin on romance, in that it was more of an obsession that the hero resented and didn't treat the heroine all that well. Something we see via flashbacks only. Thankfully. Two years later, when the main H/h reunite, he tries to play a different tune, but it's a struggle for his SEVERE alpha personality. Initially, I
I liked the overall story, but it felt slow at times. There was so much background story given throughout the book, but around page 200 or so, it sort of just felt like the story ground to a screeching halt so that the author could examine each characters feelings and past. I don't know, it felt like two books put together.Don't get me wrong, I liked the book, I liked the characters but I think it would have been better with less background and more action.
About one hundred pages in, I realized that I had read this book before, a long time ago. It was just familiar enough to remember a couple of scenes. I still read it all the way through. Everything is getting more intense as all the teams get closer to stopping Whitney. Mack and Jaimie are just...sigh.... Such an intense love for one another. The dynamic between the entire team, having grown up together and calling themselves a family, was wonderful. There were definitely many moments that their
