Wow!! Take charge, built men with a soft spot for the one woman in their life. Lots of action, both military like and bedroom like. The women are strong and opinionated but love their men!! If you like Lora Leigh's seal books, this one is right up your alley.

This is my first book by this author, and I liked it. I was torn between giving it "3" stars or "4" stars. Then I ended up deciding on "4" stars because I feel the the pros outweigh the cons, for the most part. br / br /Abbie Hughs is a blackjack dealer working in one of the casinos in Vagus. She has been divorced for two years (cheating ex-husband), and she is now studying and working, so as to rebuild her life. She is also waiting to hear from her brother Cory, worried because she hasn't heard from him in two days (he contacts her every day), and has no idea why or what's going on. br / br /Sam Lang used to work for Black Ops, but now he is living in seclusion on his ranch after the death of his sister and her husband by the hands of a terrorist organization, as a warning to Sam. Sam can't shake the guilt he feels about his sister's death. Getting a new lead, brought to him by Reed, one of the Black Ops operatives, Sam can't pass this opportunity to catch his sister's murderer, Nader. But this new information leads directly to Cory Hughs. Finding Cory's sister in Vagus, Sam decides that the best way of action is to seduce Cory's sister (whom he is convinced knows of her brother's shady dealings), and gain her trust so that she would tell him everything she knows. br / br /And so the story starts, as Sam seduces Abbie and then breaks her heart. Then Abbie convinces Sam to take her with them (using the stolen diamonds as leverage, after she finds out that her brother had mailed them to her). So she will help Sam and the group to catch Nader (because he wants those diamonds badly), if they help her rescue her brother to safety. br / br /I liked how Sam was protective of Abbie. I really liked how Abbie and Sam were serious about each other, (Abbie has been celibate ever since her divorce, and Sam hasn't been with a woman for a long time). I liked that it didn't take Sam the whole book to realize that Abbie meant a lot to him, and that he loved her. I admired that he risked his life to keep his word to her, so as to gain her trust again. Both Sam and Abbie were likable h/h. br / br /But while this is an enjoyable read, it lacked the emotional punch that should have been there in several parts of this story. One example is when Abbie found out that Sam had used her. I saw her pain, but I couldn't feel it, it's like the author told me but didn't really show me. Also Abbie's friend Crystal (while I admired her loyalty and good friendship to Abbie) came off as slutty. Also, there was one gross scene with "Fox" another vile villain, which I thought was really unnecessary and just icky. And the language tended to be a bit much for me in a few parts. br / br /In conclusion, I enjoyed this book. Despite those things that bugged me, a good read. br /
