4.5 stars!

The latest in the Deep Ops series, this is a fun and chemistry-filled ‘whodunnit’ romantic suspense with laughs, steam, action and intensity. This is book #6 in the series, and though there is some character crossover, you could read this as a standalone.

Millicent Frost and Scott Terentsen have appeared in previous books of this series, working with the Deep Ops team. She is a Homeland Security agent who is a brilliant inventor on the side, he is an ex-marine now lawyer who took a bullet for one of the team members and is now considered part of the group.

When Millie’s latest investigation clashes with Scott’s latest case, she finds herself in a world of trouble, with Scott himself to blame. He’s determined to make it up to her, and he gets the chance to do just that when her ex-boyfriend is murdered and she is framed for it.

Mille and Scott don’t know each other that well, but they don’t really get along. Until they find themselves shacked up in her family’s cabin in her home town trying to find a killer, locate a missing person and take down a bad guy who has it in for them both.

It’s all happening! And in the middle of it all, the attraction between them becomes a sizzling affair which they agree will remain no-strings. Neither of them have the time or interest for an actual relationship, but they are falling hard, and as danger closes in, they’ll be forced to confront their pasts, their present, and figure out what they want from the future.

It’s a fantastic story, and though it takes place away from the Deep Ops headquarters, it’s still very much part of the series, and characters from previous books all make an appearance – some more than other (Wolfe and Kat for the win!).

The romance is steamy, emotional and fabulously functional, all of the characters are wonderfully developed, and the mystery is well done and kept me guessing right up until the big reveal.

This is a fantastic addition to the series, I loved being back in this world, and I can’t wait for more.

4.5 stars!
