Storm Warning

by Monette Michaels

Security Specialists International is a private security agency which takes on government contracts and private jobs no one else wants. The series revolves around the security agency contracts and the personnel employed. Although each book is standalone to a certain extent (as in there is a heroine, hero and a happily ever after to each one) there is an overarching plot through the series focusing on a DOD traitor who has been compromising intel and profiting off of information leaks.

That's one of the main things I really love about this series. Even though there's romance and sex and a ton of humour- there's a lot of plot and while each book can be read standalone - reading them in order lets the plot build into something special. Actually it's kind of like Laura Kaye's Hard Ink series insofar as the plot running through each book. I like the whole jigsaw puzzle being put together as each book is released.

Tweeter gets his story! The brother and designated protector of Keely at MIT, Tweeter is a computer hacker extraordinaire and he meets his match in pilot, DJ Poe. I loved Tweeter in the first few books and I loved him in this - especially his new nickname from DJ (Ace) . He's so sweet and patient with DJ and really understanding of her triggers. And DJ was fantastic. She's overcome so much to get to where she is and it was awe inducing. She's brave and skilled and resilient - like all of the females in/at/around SSI.

The romance was so sweet my teeth ached and it was majorly instalove but it's par for the course with the genre to be honest. The action wasn't as full on as some of the previous books in the series but what was there was intense. DJ was kickass in her role as arm candy and badass. I loved the intro to Dawn Wilson. She's so mean - I loved it. I can't wait to reread Dawn and Croaker's story.

4.5 stars, rounded to 4.
