Pushing the Limit (Alpha Ops, #3)

by Emmy Curtis

After their one-night fling at a wedding, archaeologist Henrietta "Harry" Markowitz thought she'd never see war hero Matt Stanning again. So when they're paired up to investigate a military plane crash in Iraq, she's not sure if the three-month reunion is serendipitous or cursed. What she does know is this gorgeous man lights her body on fire-and incredible sex is always a welcome distraction. Air Force Sergeant Matt Stanning has been called a hero, but he feels nothing like one when he realizes the sexy blonde in his bed is the widow of his fallen brother-in-arms. Even worse, he actually has to work with her, and she's unearthed evidence that points to a military conspiracy. If they dig deeper, they'll put their lives in danger. If they don't, they'll never know the truth-not only about the mysterious plane crash, but about each other.

I'm not sure but I think this may have been my favorite.  Which is kind of unusual for me because I tend to prefer a little lovin/sexytines between the MCs.  The STORY in this one was sooooo good and the combination of romance and suspense was perfect.  I think it was because the mystery subplot was so interesting and it helped that I just realllllly liked Matt.  Matt. Matt. MMMMMmmmmatt.

Harry=Henrietta, who we met in the previous book was kind of a mystery to me.  In Over The Line, she seems kind of  insecure and a  ninny at times.  ( I think it was the circumstances of that book, more than her being actual ninny. ) Which, really couldn't be further from the truth. She's freaking archaeologist in the freaking desert...she's really kind of badass in her own way.  When she and Matt meet initially, she is not afraid to take what she needs from him and when they run across each other again, she does not back down then either.  So, she was pretty awesome.  She was dealing with some pretty serious baggage in her own life and I found it very interesting how her and Matt's lives intersected with each other.  Matt and Harry had absolutely crack-a-lackin' chemistry and I'm telling you, do not miss this one!

This was such a fun book to read! I found myself sighing, laughing and turning the pages as fast as I could!  Sadly, I do not have another Emmy Curtis book to look forward to but we meet some characters in this one, a guy and girl that I would absolutely LOVE to read about again.  So, my fingers are crossed for more from this series and this author.
