Attracted to Fire by DiAnn Mills

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


ATTRACTED TO FIRE by DiAnn Mills was good, but didn’t quite have that something extra I am use to.

Special Agent Meghan Connors has been called upon to protect the Vice President’s daughter. She will have to work double time protecting Lindsay Hall from not only the person who is threatening her, but from her own self-inflicted pain. Drugs and alcohol have forced Lindsay into multiple rehabs, but her true demon is not substance abuse but the person who has haunted her since her childhood. Meghan realizes Lindsay is hiding something more than the influences of the party world she delves into, but Lindsay is too terrified to admit her true fears.

On top of the complexities that come with guarding a teenager bent on hurting herself and those around her, Meghan must also deal with Ash Zinders the special agent in charge of the task force. Zinders has made it quite clear that he does not believe women should be allowed in the Secret Service. He is hyper critical and looking for any deficits in Meghan’s ability so he can cut her from his team. But since she was hand selected by the Vice President, he has to put his personal feelings aside and work with Meghan. It doesn’t take long for Zinders to see the positive influence Meghan has on Lindsay. And try as he might he can’t ignore the impact Meghan is having on him as well.

Overall, I enjoyed ATTRACTED TO FIRE. I just found some of the dialog below par for DiAnn Mills. The beginning was slower than usual and it took a while for me to attach myself to the characters. There were a few threads left dangling, like what was behind Meghan’s cancelled engagement and her difficult relationship with her mom. The last third of the book picked up and felt more like the stories I have come to expect from DiAnn Mills.
