The Missions of Mercy series is a great series from Susan May Warren made up of three books, each can read as a stand-alone, but they really are better together: Point of No Return, Mission: Out of Control, and Undercover Pursuit. Through them readers will meet strong characters who will live through danger, adventure, suspense and romance!Point of No Return (Book 1) finds Chet Stryker, the head of a security team, working with his old flame Mae Lund. His mission: to rescue Mae's nephew while trying to keep her safe in the country of Georgia. Right from the start, the book gripped my attention, and it never lost it. A few twists throughout the story and some of Chet's history coming back to the forefront really brings depth to the story. Point of No Return also introduces us to Wick and Luke, who feature in the following two books in the series.
Mission: Out of Control (Book 2) brings Brody "Wick" Wickham into focus as he faces a security assignment that just might bring his 100% success rate crashing down. Within the first few pages, you will fall in love with Brody as he becomes his 15 year old sister's bodyguard at a Vonya concert... where he meets the diva up close and personal for the first time. She turns out to be a nice woman with a lot of secrets who happens to need a lot of help! I love that the story brings back Chet and Mae, and also still includes Luke, whose story is coming up next.
Undercover Pursuit (Book 3) is the final installment in the Missions of Mercy series (I believe), and it focuses on Luke Dekker, another member of Chet's security team. This one starts with another grab at the readers attention when the story finds Scarlett trying to find out what the airline has done with her sisters wedding dress after the 16 hour flight to Mexico. She ends up with Luke, who has mistaken her for his contact for his mission. Too late, Luke finds out she isn't an agent, and he has to find a way to get them both through both the wedding and his mission... without falling for her. I loved this one with its slightly lighter story, the charisma between the characters and the nice sunny locale.
One great thing about these books is they are great for everyone who likes a little suspense and action, as well as some good G-rated romance that won't make you blush. In all, a great series of books that you won't want to end.

About the Books: (from the LitFuse Tour)
Three heroes, all on missions of mercy, who discover that God not only saves us from evil, but from the darkness inside.
Point of No Return:An American boy and a warlord's engaged daughter have disappeared-together-in an Eastern European border country. Only one man can find them in time to prevent an international meltdown-Chet Stryker. But Chet is taken aback when he realizes the boy is the nephew of Mae Lund, Chet's former flame. When Mae insists on rescuing her relative herself, Chet knows he has to protect her from the enemy on their trail. Yet can he protect himself from falling for Mae again?
Mission: Out of Control:Brody "Wick" Wickham is a former Green Beret turned security agent-with a 100 percent mission success rate. No way is his new assignment changing that. Even if it's protecting a diva American rock star while she's on tour in Europe. Except Veronica "Vonya" Wagner isn't just a beautiful celebrity used to having her way-she's the daughter of a U.S. Senator. And she's hiding a dangerous secret. When Wick discovers what's at stake, how far over the line will he go to keep them both alive?
Undercover Pursuit:The only way to get security agent Luke Dekker to a wedding? An undercover mission as groomsman. He'll bust the groom, a drug cartel heir, before anyone can say "I do." Then Luke can escape all this love and romance nonsense-and the too pretty bridesmaid/agent assigned as his "fiancée" for the weekend. Until Luke discovers that sweet, vulnerable Scarlett Hanson isn't his contact. Isn't an agent.
Isn't trained for the high-stakes mission now trapping them both. And worse, Luke's falling for her-which is not part of the assignment.
