•••••••

REVIEW:FULLY LOADED is the second instalment in Samantha Wilde’s contemporary, adult BAD COMPANY romantic suspense series. This is professional thieves Dani Metcalf, and Brock Wyler’s story line. FULLY LOADED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Dani’s is the sister of Serena Metcalfe and her story begins in POINT BLANK #1

NOTE: FULLY LOADED was previously released as Fully Loaded (Pretty Thieves) by Samantha Wilde in 2020. If you have not read FULLY LOADED there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Dani and Brock) FULLY LOADED follows in the aftermath of the abduction of our story line heroine. Three months earlier, professional thief Dani Metcalf barely survived an abduction by her sister’s father in law, but in an effort to begin anew, Dani moved to Geneva, Switzerland where her foray into the European market finds her the target of some powerful people. With very few people she can trust. Dani calls the man who once broke her heart but the man who is willing to risk his life to save the life of our story line heroine. On the run together, Dani and Brock quickly discover Dani’s theft of ‘information’ could be the catalyst to destroy the world but at every turn, Dani and Brock’s whereabouts are identified and exposed, and our couple are unable to trust anyone including law enforcement around the world.

The world building follows Dani and Brock as they journey throughout Europe, in disguise and on the run, aware that both have become wanted fugitives. Marked as terrorists, Dani and Brock discover identify the who and what but trusting is another matter.

The relationship between Dani and Brock is one of second chances. Dani believes Brock betrayed her years before, and in this, her faith in any hope for the future is threatened by the people determined to take her down. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are determined, dynamic and questionable at best. We are reintroduced to Serena and Milo (Point Blank) and FBI agent Rhett Callahan. The requisite evil has many faces.

FULLY LOADED is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, greed and ego, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and action packed; the romance is desirable; the characters are desperate and animated.
