M.L. Buchman is one of my favorite military romantic suspense authors. I've read almost all of his Night Stalkers series, and love that his characters are so well rounded and fleshed out. They are realistically flawed but fiercely strong when it's required. The military aspects read amazingly true to reality. This particular novel is the beginning of a new series called Delta Force. If you've read the Night Stalkers novels, you will recognize some familiar characters in this story and will quickly realize that Delta Force is the infamous "D Boys" featured in the other stories.
This story takes the reader through the process of elimination prospects face in order to be allowed to train for Delta Force. Carla is the first woman to ever be allowed to go through the process. Kyle is the obvious front runner in the elimination, and Carla makes him her target from the beginning. She is determined to keep up with him in every area if she can't just beat him outright. Kyle is competitive but good natured. He roots for Carla secretly and is thrilled when the two of them have the opportunity to train and work together...among other things they finally get to do together *wink wink*.
The couple is all out, all in, out of control passion from the start. The fact that they work seamlessly together as well gives their team the ultimate confidence. Their first mission comes right on the heels of competing their training and ends up testing them to their limits. The mission is risky, but for Carla, risking love may be even harder.
I totally loved the story and the characters. I hope the next book sticks with this team and brings Chad and Tanya back together for some more sparks. I can't wait!
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
