Special Forces: The Recruit (Mills & Boon Heroes) (Mission Medusa, Book 1)

Nicola Sarah Brooks

Piper Ford is one kickass female! She is a true warrior...forget that she is a female in a very male-dominated world...she could kick most of their asses, whilst wearing high heels!

Doing a favour for a neighbour really shouldn't have landed her in the trouble that it did. But intentionally mistaken identity is the least of her problems!

Zane Cosworth has been undercover for so long, he feels that his grip on his true identity is slipping away from him. But when fate sticks a trained soldier in front of him rather than the intended kidnap target, he makes the best of a bad choice and takes Piper to appease the terror cell. But can he extricate them both from the increasingly unhinged cell?

Talk about fast paced! Zane and Piper don't do things by halves. I loved the concept of the Medusa Team and Camp Vanessa. Their boss is a bit of a martinet but he has a heart of gold under all the gruff...somewhere!

The Medusa team could be made to be very Charlie's Angel-ish but they are a hard-core crew and I loved that they are willing to go out on a limb for each other. There are plenty of twists and turns and whilst the incarceration and interrogation of Piper is intense, it is handled with dignity and there are no superfluous violent scenes. They are all serving a purpose. The worst scene was Zane and Piper attempting to subvert the bad guys, that would be a bit of a trigger for anyone who has survived sexual assault possibly.

I did read this quite soon after Operation Valkyrie series and some parallels can't help be drawn but they are both great stories!
