ARE THEY IN TOO DEEP?

Ex-Navy SEAL Cabe Moss always comes when called to duty—at all costs. Even though the death of his fiancée nearly destroyed him, Cabe won’t let his past interfere with any work that has to get done. When his latest task pushes him to team up with FBI operative Amy Murray, a fierce beauty with the undercover skills to match, Cabe must admit that, for the first time in years, he wants to do more than just complete their mission together…

Amy was born ready forthis assignment, but working side-by-side with the strong, silent, and frustratingly professional Cabe seems to be the biggest challenge of all. But when the sparks begin to fly—and the stakes rise to dangerous heights—the only thing Amy is left worrying about is how she can resist him. Their lives may be in danger, but their hearts hold the biggest risk of all…

Review

4 stars!

Suspenseful and full of chemistry, this is an exciting read with a great romance, and I loved it!

The third and final book in the Love Over Duty series, this is the story of Cabe Moss, the last of three friends featured in this series. Cabe and his two best friends grew up together, were SEALs together, and then started Eagle Security, leading a team of badasses on all sorts of badass missions. Cabe has watched his two buddies fall in love and find their HEAs, which brings home to him all that he is missing out on. It’s been two years since his fiancé was killed while she was serving overseas, and though he still grieves her and knows he’ll love her forever, he’s beginning to feel like he wants the kind of happiness that his friends have found.

Amy Harris is a strong and determined FBI agent. She left her last job after being sexually harassed by a superior, and then enduring taunts and gossip. Her fresh start in San Diego sees her continuing an investigation that is very close to her heart – those of women going missing. The case of the missing women appears to be tied in with a money laundering scheme, and all evidence points to a local casino. In a joint effort, the CIA, FBI, Police Department and Eagle Security (due to their previous encounters with the bad guys) team up to investigate, with Cabe and Amy being the ones chosen to go undercover in the casino to figure out what’s going on.

From the very beginning, sparks fly between Cabe and Amy. Their attraction is a palpable thing, but there is so much standing in their way.

“There are reasons, really good fucking reasons, why you and I should keep our distance. There is shit you don’t know about me, about my past. And there’s this case. And there’s everything that happened to you in Atlanta. It feels like a lot. And yeah, I get it feels insurmountable, because I find myself wondering why the hell I’m even considering you and me.”
He took a moment and looked out of the window, up toward the sky.
“But?”
“But doesn’t it feel worth it, Ames?” he asked quietly.

I love the way that, despite their personal battles, they are both so open about what is between them. They admit what they’re feeling and how it’s impacting their work, they talk about all of the possibilities, and I just loved the functionality of it all! And of course their chemistry is off the charts. Their physical attraction is only the beginning of what begins to brew between them as they work together and get to know each other, and real feelings develop, making everything so much more intense until it hits the point where neither of them can hold back any further.

“It’s so hard to resist this. I don’t know how to stop it any more than you do.”

It’s a beautifully developing love story that is seriously hot, and though it has its ups and downs, it’s managed well. Amy and Cabe are very mature, sensible and realistic about everything, they share a mutual respect for each other both as colleagues and as partners, and I loved watching them work through their feelings as they openly accept what they are starting to become to each other – even in their difficult situation.

Because in the middle of it all is the drama of their case. It’s quite involved and there is a lot of detail and book-time dedicated to the mystery/suspense part of the story. There are links with the crime stories in the previous books, which are cleverly intertwined. It’s well-written and kept my interest, and ties in really well with the romance as you can see the two different parts of Amy and Cabe’s relationship developing side by side.

Right now, she needed the SEAL, not the lover, no matter how willing he was to do both.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well paced and well-written with just the right balance of action and emotion. I loved Cabe and Amy as characters, and loved watching everything happen between them.

This was a great read and a gorgeous romance – 4 stars.
