Review

When Rescuing Kyle by Lynn Michaels became available for review, I didn’t hesitate to take it. I’ve been a fan of her Motocross books for the last couple of years. This one goes in a very different direction and isn’t about the world of motocross as much as the others. That worked really well here as the author introduces a CIA agent, a case of mistaken identity, and some intrigue.

Kyle is in Germany racing and gets together with his lookalike Army Ranger cousin and his team. When Kyle meets Steve, a CIA Agent working with Warren…sparks fly. The two fall pretty hard and pretty fast for each other and realize that one night isn’t enough. Steve has always felt his job made being in a relationship impossible but seems willing to try with Kyle. They continue after that first night with phone calls and texts and plans to meet up as soon as they’re in the same city again. As the guys spend more time together, they’re unaware that Kyle is about to need rescuing.

I often struggle with insta-lust/love stories because I enjoy watching that connection grow between the two main characters. This is definitely a jump right into romance, but I do feel that the circumstances play a part in that too. The immediate attraction between Steve and Kyle is  strong, their chemistry in bed is very real, and throw in some danger, and it all fits. There are a lot of moving parts in this book, we meet a lot of people and they all can get a bit mixed up at times…there were times where nicknames played a part in that confusion. All in all, this was a fun read, the chemistry was hot, the relationship between the MC’s and Warren, Kyle’s cousin was fun. I loved the teasing and genuine affection between the cousins and watching Steve navigate his way between his friendship with Warren and his feelings for Kyle. This book has some action and intrigue, but nothing real heavy. It’s a fun, sexy read with some intrigue to keep you on your toes.

Featured Guest: Lynn Michaels~ Inspiration and Musings



Diverse Reader is thrilled to have Lynn Michaels stopping by. Not only is she an amazing writer she's a truly lovely human being. You can't go wrong with her. She's talking about Inspiration and Musings, her new release, and where you can find her in this crazy world. So, sit back and relax.






Inspirations and Musings:
Rescuing Kyle is set in Susan Stoker’s Operation Alpha world, but that only added to the fun of writing it. This genre was new to me, and I didn’t know if I could make it work. Then SJ York suggested making one of the characters a motocross racer. I know moto! So I took that element that I love so much, motocross, and mixed it in with some special forces heroes. The result is an adventure across Germany with kidnapping, a Delta Force rescue, and of course, motorcycles!
The story is set in Germany, in the heart of US Military operations in Europe. Why? Because I lived there for four years in my earlier life, and I wanted to add some of the culture for a richer read. Festivals, beer steins, and hopefully a bit more...oh and gummies. Yum!
If you’re already a Holeshot fan, you’ll be surprised by a crossover character, and if you haven’t read Holeshot, check it out! It’s full of motocross fun!
The characters from Susan Stoker’s world come in for the rescue. I used a few of them including Chase Jackson, Ghost and Truck. Her charachter, Ghost, inspired me for a lot of the romance between Kyle and Steve. These are men who go after what they want—once they figure it out—and they don’t let anything stand in their way.
In addition to being the first special forces book for me, it also inspired me to let this one jump start a series. IronEx stories will be #ComingSoon – probably 2021. You can stay in touch with my social media links for updates on IronEx and more!
