Betrayed is the second book in the Rockford Files series by Rebecca York and is currently schedule for release on July 1 2014. Even though this is the second book in the series, Bad Nights was the first book, I feel like the book can stand on its own and is better than the first. Shane Gallagher is part of the Rockfort Security team, and is working undercover as the head of security for a company dealing with intellectual property theft. Elena Reyes is a systems analyst with a brother that puts her in an impossible situation. Elena and Shane are each trying to do their jobs and ignore their attraction, but that might become impossible when the stakes are raised.
Betrayed is a great addition to a series I had some doubts about. Shane is a character dealing with trust issues and attempting to stick to his job, rather than chasing after a possible suspect for theft that has caught his eye. Elena is a strong and smart woman that has worked hard to better her life and prove herself, even if her family never seems to care. They share an attraction that is hard to ignore, and complications throw them together under less than desirable circumstances. I like that Shane respects Elena, even when he does not fully trust her, and that Elena respects herself in spite of her family. The suspense and action portions of the book were very well done, and I liked that there was an added level to the grand reveal that I did not expect.I would recommend Betrayed to fans of Rebecca York, those that enjoyed Bad Nights, and those that like romantic suspense. Still not the best that I have seen from York, but pretty darn good.
