Each story works well as a standalone novel, but in hindsight I’d recommend reading them in order to get a better introduction to the heroes and witness how their characters and friendships are established and formed through their HRT assignments. Though Against All Odds is the first book in Hannon’s Heroes of Quantico series, I read the second book first. The timeliness and relevance of the ripped-from-the-headlines plot ups the stakes and results in a page-turning, suspenseful read. I absolutely loved the international angle to this story. When Monica is kidnapped, with only hours to rescue her before the terrorists’ deadline, it’s a race against time for Coop and his team to rescue the only woman who’s ever left him vulnerable to the possibility of faith and love. Coop finds himself falling hard for Monica, and thanks to the job forcing them to keep constant company, their budding relationship grows at a rapid pace. Monica is unwilling to accept that her father’s life could interfere with hers until the would-be kidnappers succeed in sending a message with a threat that’s impossible to ignore. Terrorists want to use her as leverage against her estranged father, who is involved in sensitive hostage negotiations in Afghanistan. Monica Callahan, the daughter of a prominent State Department official, has become the unwitting target of a kidnapping plot. “Babysitting” VIPs isn’t his dream job, especially when the VIP in question comes with some very high profile baggage. After all, terrorists aren’t known for their patience – or their mercy.Įvan Cooper, a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, isn’t thrilled when his next assignment is dignitary protection duty. And with every second that ticks by, Coop knows that the odds of saving the only woman who has ever breached the walls around his heart are dropping. That is, until a chilling warning convinces her that the danger is very real – and escalating.Īs Coop and his partner do their best to keep her safe, the threat against Monica is rising. Estranged from her diplomat father – who is involved in a sensitive hostage in the Middle East – she refuses to be intimidated by a related terrorist threat back in the States. Unfortunately, beautiful but determined Monica Callahan isn’t making it easy. Against All Odds (Heroes of Quantico #1)By: Irene Hannonįor FBI Hostage Rescue Team member Evan Cooper and his partner, dignitary protection duty should have been a piece of cake.
