Publisher's Summary:
Rotting in an African dungeon is the last place journalist Tess Newell expected to find herself. As she's held hostage by the terrorist group she's investigating, Tess's salvation - and temptation - arrives in the form of another prisoner. A French Foreign Legionnaire with a sinful smile and too many secrets to be anything but dangerous. Yet she knows he's her only hope of surviving.
The Legion is the only family Flynn has. His sanctuary and his purgatory after years spent in hell. When a mission goes south and Flynn is captured, it's not the enemy that worries him, but the brazen, alluring reporter whose prying questions threaten to bring down his world - and the walls he's built around his heart.
Yet after a daring escape, Flynn must risk it all and go on the run with Tess to retrieve the evidence she needs. The chemistry between them threatens to detonate but, with the enemy fast closing in, time is running out to unravel the truth from the lies in this deadly conspiracy....
Contains mature themes.

Loved this book.
Edge of Truth will leave you on the edge of your seat.
First off, let me say this is not my normal genre; being a military/action/suspense/romance. It takes place in Somalia and I don't normally travel far from the US or Europe in my readings. So I went with an open mind, wondering where this new adventure in reading would take me. I was given an ARC by the author's publisher through Reading Alley in exchange for my honest review.
This is a 400 page book that spans about two days. To say the book is riddled with action is an understatement.
Tess Newell, strong willed and devoted-to-the-cause American journalist, is about to blow the lid off the story of a lifetime, incriminating governments, politicians, and leaders across a few countries. She is kidnapped and sentenced to be executed. Before that happens, a French Foreign Legionnaire is tossed into her cell.
The chemistry between Tess and Flynn, the Legionnaire, is sudden and swift. Thanks to Flynn's skills, they escape and flee, dodging their captures as their passions slowly escalate. There were a few places where they shared POV and it was a tad confusing, but that was the overall exception to the book. It was not enough to distract from the reading or action.
What I liked most about this story is how the author did not give Tess and Flynn any easy outs. When presented with a vehicle during their on-foot escape, many writers would be tempted to give them the vehicle and let them ride for a while. Ms. Kelly did not make things so easy on our hero and heroine. She refused to let them have the vehicle, and instead used it as a distraction as they continued on foot. The saga of their escape is full of such devises where the hunter--and reader--would expect them to do something, and the author takes them another way. Kudos on some splendid writing.
Because this is an action/ adventure story, there is also some sex. Their relationship, though fast to bloom, also seemed organic. Neither Tess nor Flynn want to trust the other, yet the gradual--grudging?--trust does form. And so does the sexual interest. Though they only make love two or three times, it is as explosive as the runaway action is.
