Elle James2021
From New York Times bestselling author Elle James comes the 6th book in the Delta Force Strong series. To Delta Force soldier Doug “Dawg” Masters, being a Delta Force Operator is his life. He’d never consider marriage or children because his job is too dangerous, taking him far away too often to make a home or raise a family. When his buddies start pairing off, Dawg’s satisfaction with his life dims. Maybe he should give love a chance. Only the woman he has in mind has him at arm’s length…except for that one scorching night in her arms. Army nurse Beth Drennan broke up with her doctor fiancé because he was more interested in doing good for everyone else but them. After he postponed their wedding for the second time, she broke up and moved on. When a one-night stand with a sexy Delta shakes her to her core, she second guesses her initial engagement. A request to assist in a humanitarian mission in Africa with her ex-fiancé gives Beth the opportunity to determine if dumping him was the right decision, or if what she feels for the Delta might just be the heat she’d been yearning for. When Beth is kidnapped, Dawg and his fellow Deltas are given the mission to extract the kidnapped medical staff and return them to the States. Beth faces an enemy who wants her for her skills and will kill her when she’s no longer needed, a fresh proposal from her ex-fiancé and the red-hot passion of a man who makes her burn to her very core.

Dawg is such a breath of fresh air. A man unafraid to show his love for his dog, who is comfortable being with a woman with no pressure on her to take anything further. Who would rather see the woman he loves happy, even if the person to make her happy isn't him. Beth is really not a demanding female, she just wants the man she's with NOT to volunteer for duty, especially not just before they are due to marry. She's over her ex, she just wants to feel something for someone. But bar hopping is just not what she wants to do but being forced on a night out with her bestie leads to one of the more fun nights she's had, even when it means she and Dawg cut out earliy 'cos neither of them is in the mood to party. OMG what a great couple. beth is steady, surefooted under pressure but doubts herself in the romance world. Dawg knows Chewy loves him and he's content with his lot - until Beth comes into his life. I was not enamoured with beth's ex, what a total self-involved butt! He really is dense, he may have loved Beth in his own way but not at the expense of HIS career. Not a damsel in distress in sight, brilliant read!
