GRR Reviews Deep Under: a standalone Walker Securit by Lisa Renee Jones

Deep Under is one heck of a romantic suspense, even though it does get a bit absurd at times.

Myla is beautiful and trying to make her way in the world as a waitress when she was snatched up by a vicious and powerful man... a crime kingpin. Not even her sister in the FBI can help her, and she simply vanished. Then came the news of her death (allegedly). // Kyle, ex-FBI, was hired by a man who paid generously... a million bucks for protection of a very important person. That person turned out to be Myla, still very much alive. Kyle was told his job is to "test" Myla's loyalty to the kingpin while protecting her from any threat... including her FBI sister. But Kyle is not whom he seems. He is indeed ex-FBI, but he's actually working for Walker Security, a private contractor that has contacts in high places. He had been looking for Myla, but now that he found her, can he trust her? Which way does her loyalty really lie? Is she Stockholm'ed, or merely acting compliant? Can he get her out safely and get the kingpin? Did he fell for her already?

Both characters are trying to say things without actually saying things, as both are under threat of death if they are discovered. While the plot was a little absurd, it does make for a tense scenario.
