I love nothing more than when Sam gets her feathers ruffled.  And boy...did she have them ruffled in FATAL THREAT.

As imagined, a threat against a high-ranking member of the White House would send those that protect our first and second families into high alert.  But when one of those being protected is determined she doesn't need it, sparks fly and the Second Lady is determined to find who would do it and make sure they paid (especially when the Second Lady if forced off the job and her family is scared).

As usual, Sam is taking names and kicking ass.  But this time the threat is more personal and Sam has to learn how to deal with everything that is being part of the second family when this kind of threat comes in, but also how to deal with her Alpha male husband who wants nothing more than to protect her.  

It was during the very early parts of this book that I'm reminded, yet again, why Nick and Sam are still my favorite couple after 11 books.  They may argue, sometimes really fight, but all they never forgot how much they love each other.  Sam may not always see Nick's side of an issue right away while she's too busy trying to make sure her feelings are known, but deep down she knows what they feel for each other.  She may push his buttons, but she understands why he needs her to be safe.

Marie Force always does a great job of keeping us up to date with the other members of Sam's team.  Jeanine finally gets her HEA (she so deserves it).  Tony is still dealing with his survivor's guilt, but seeing him push through and really be there for Sam and Freddie gave me hope he's going to make it through.  And then there was Freddie.  He's Sam's other rock and this book proved that.  

Metro PD has my favorite group of police officers and I can't wait for what comes next.
