This one checked all of my boxes, hot military guy (extra points for being a PJ), a strong, smart and confident heroine who did not back down. She went after what she wanted, when she wanted it and did not apologize for any of it. Kudos to her.
I got wind of Ms. Curtis’s series in the early part of the summer and I waited with baited breath. I realize that sometimes getting excited about a book and writer before you read anything by them can be a real crapshoot and frankly, I don’t do that very much anymore. I do, however, follow my gut and most of the time, it’s right. I was not disappointed by this first book by Ms. Curtis and it is so well written. Clear, well worded and has some kickass sexy times. Granted, in a cave in Afghanistan- so please remember to check your reality at the door. In most books in this genre, you have to go into it with your suspension of disbelief engaged. And THAT’S OK, I’m cool with that. I thoroughly enjoyed Josh and Grace, their chemistry was smokin’ and the conflict between them was realistic and understandable. I also appreciated how neither one of them had to change who they were to make the other happy.
Ms. Curtis also laid the groundwork for the next book (full length) Over The Line by introducing us to the two main characters- Beth and James. I’m ready to get my hands on that one!!
And look- the next 2 books are being published in October AND November! No waiting a year for the next book!!!
