Striking Distance by Pamela Clare

Striking Distance (I-Team, #6)

by Pamela Clare

Her past is a secret—even to her.
Discovering it will be the most dangerous move of her life.


TV reporter Laura Nilsson, known as the “Baghdad Babe,” spent eighteen months in an Al-Qaeda compound after being kidnapped live on the air. Two years later, she’s still wondering why.

No mission in Javier Corbray’s fourteen years as a Navy SEAL affected him the way Laura’s rescue did. No woman had stirred his protective instincts the way she did. And he wants her more than he’s ever wanted anyone.

As Laura and Javier’s passion ignites, so does Laura’s need to discover the mystery of her past. Especially when she learns that her abduction was not random—and that she’s still a target for a killer with an impenetrable motive. Now Javier will have to rely on his skills to keep the woman he loves from being struck down before she dares uncover the truth.

To get the full experience of this book, please read the prequel: First Strike

I have to admit that I have struggled with writing this review. I struggled because this book was great and I’ve been wrestling with how to express how much I loved it. So, forgive me, I may ramble or quite possibly make no sense at all.

I read this book in mid October and I’ve tried to write a review at least a dozen times and I keep failing. So, I’ve written notes and phrases here and there and nothing has come together for me. I don’t know why exactly, I just know that I LOVED this book. I adored Javier, for me, he may be my favorite I-Team guy and making him my #1 is a big deal because I loved Marc Hunter (Unlawful Contact) and Zach McBride (Breaking Point) a whole hell of a lot. Why did I love Javier so much? He was tough, protective and downright sensual.

Like make me want to melt-into-a-puddle-sexy.

After what Laura had been through, she needed a man to take his time and touch her lovingly. Javier knew this and deliberately slowed things down between them. He made sure he let her take the lead.
