![]() I also loved that the author had Mia's character deal with sexual harassment while in the Army, but power through and stand up for herself. I loved that she was a former Army Captain. It's nice to have a hero of a different ethnicity for a change. I also loved having a sexy salsa dancing Latino hero. A photographer looking at life though his camera. When all the others were law enforcement or military bad-asses, he was artistic, and creative. I loved how different he was from the other heroes in this series. He didn't all of a sudden become a super kick-ass alpha, but he was still brave, strong and protective. Joaquin was so sensual, passionate, and loyal. ![]() ![]() Joaquin has been a strong, sweet and supportive secondary character all through this series and I really wanted him to get a HEA! I have to say I was a little worried that Joaquin wouldn't stand out in a series full of sexy alpha males like Julian, Zach, Nate and super sexy Marc(my fav), but he totally held his own, while staying true to his character. Joaquin Finally got his book, and I am so happy about it. Deadly Intent, the 8th book in the I-Team series by Pamela Clare, was so yummy. ![]()

However Tharoor is iconoclast-lite and massively understates the horrendous mass murder of Indians through imposed deprivation that occurred under the British and continues today in a neoliberal-dominated India.
