Under Fire

Under Fire A Love Over Duty Novel

Scarlett Cole2017
“Fantastic characters, scorching sexual tension, and non-stop action make this one of my favorite reads this year!”—New York Times bestselling author Laura Kaye RITA nominee Scarlett Cole’s Under Fire pairs a hot Navy SEAL with a medical researcher who finds herself in too deep. Hot, hard-bodied Sixten Rapp is a former SEAL who’s raring to begin his brand-new civilian life. He and his Navy “brothers” start a security firm that offers the kind of services only a team of military-trained professionals can provide. But nothing prepared Six for his new client: an innocent woman on a mission to improve thousands of lives. . . unless someone takes hers first. Dr. Louisa North knows time is against her as she tries to create a “miracle” medical treatment for a disease with no known cure, until she creates a sample so powerful that the wrong people want to use it as a chemical weapon. At first, Six is unwilling to accept Louisa as his client. But soon he realizes that the danger is real and that there’s much more to this plain-Jane scientist...including a burning passion between them that neither of them can resist. And now that an enemy is on Louisa’s trail, Six will do whatever it takes to protect her—or die trying.

Sixten Rapp is my kinda hero!!! He's hot, alpha to the core and a little bit broken, I do like my heroes to have some kind of "flaw" as it makes them a whole lot easier to connect to! Having retired from the Armed Services, Six and his mates have formed a security agency, Eagle Securities and it is taking shape slowly but surely. They are hiring new folks and taking on more cases. He is not happy about working for a former high school associate, but work is work. Dr. Louisa North is a genius but she is socially awkward. Give her a lab and a puzzle and she is happy as a clam but doing talks at fundraisers..it's a necessary evil to find a cure for the illness that claimed her father and which she herself may be a carrier. Saved by Six during a meltdown, they form an easy friendship and when things start to go wrong at her lab she knows exactly who to turn to. Six and Louisa are drawn together but just as they take their fledgling feelings further, she becomes his client causing all sorts of headaches where his partners are concerned! Louisa is a fab character, shy, awkward, smart but still attractive in her own quirky way. Six is strong but complicated and failing to deal with his PTSD issues. Together they get through each others issues and seem to calm each other without thinking about it. There are a great selection of secondary characters and I can't wait to meet them in more depth in the next books. Mac and Delaney look like being an insanely complicated duo!!!

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest Copy received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Contemporary Romance Series : - 1st in the series Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author? - Yes Rating - 4 ★Review★ I really enjoyed the start of this new series. I adore a nerdy smart heroine. And I liked the hero, but felt he want on a bit to much, thinking about how "easy" it was for him to pick up women for the night, since women just found him so attractive. But over all, they were a good couple, and I found the suspense part of the plot interesting and original. And once we moved onto them actually building a relationship Six was just so lovely with Louisa, making her feel comfortable. I the end it is 4 stars, as I it was an original exciting start to a new series, I just had the odd niggle here and there.
