I'm going to start by saying I totally loved this book. Military romantic suspense is one of my favorite genres, and this author is now one of my favorites as well. I have already found and purchased the prequel novella and can't wait to read the next book. This story starts in Afghanistan with James attempting to save Beth from a potentially fatal bullet wound. After being deployed together for a few months, he has developed an attraction to her on a deep level. She is completely unaware but is also affected by him. Unfortunately, her medical treatment takes her away from him, and months pass by before the two meet by chance as Beth is cleared from rehab for redeployment. James can't resist the opportunity to ask her out and turns the invitation into a weekend rock climbing expedition. Unfortunately, fate intervenes, and rock climbing is waylaid by a family emergency. Beth sees the adventure in helping protect James from his family's unrealistic expectations and pressures by posing as his fiancee. Her adventure backfires when she is faced with racism and elitism from James's parents, the arrival of James's ex-girlfriend, threats against James's sisters which endanger her safety, and her own inability to resist the chemistry exploding between herself and James. Thankfully, Beth is a special forces soldier and not about to back down. I loved the characters in this story and how emotionally involved it was. It had all my favorite things...strong characters, plenty of action, super hot chemistry, and a great suspenseful plot.
Net Galley provided a copy of this book for honest review:-)
