Series:
Code: Warrior SEALs (Book 3)
Their mission: deliver a ruthless spy to justice
But can they outlast a storm as dangerous as their
target?
Tracking an elusive Russian operative, CIA agent Nissa
Beck has no choice but to ask for help as a hurricane descends on New Orleans.
She turns to alpha Navy SEAL Cole Perriman. Used to conquering impossible odds,
now he must protect beautiful Nissa. But as unstoppable storms and passions
rage, there's more at stake for them than survival.
Terrific book that dropped me into the middle of intense
action and didn't let up until the end. Nissa is a CIA analyst working with a
SEAL team to locate and capture an elusive Russian operative. She is not a
trained field agent and spends much of the book scared spitless, but she does
what needs to be done.
Cole is the SEAL team leader, code name Frosty for his
ability to bury his emotions and get the job done. He's been a SEAL for many
years and is a few months from retirement. Unfortunately, Nissa proves to be an
unexpected distraction to his determination to capture Petrov.
The book opens with Nissa and the team attempting to
board a ship that Petrov is reportedly escaping on in the middle of a
hurricane. But when they get aboard, they discover the ship is deserted and
about to capsize in the storm seas. They barely managed to escape and had to
beat the hurricane back to land if they wanted to survive. I was glued to the
pages as they struggled to find shelter and then wait out the storm.
The intense suspense of the story continued as Nissa,
Cole, and the rest of the team continued their search for Petrov. Nissa's
brilliant detective work brings them closer to their goal and puts a target on her
back. The danger intensifies when Nissa uses herself to bait a trap, and an
unexpected twist puts them all at risk. The final puzzle piece led to a
confrontation that had me glued to the pages until it was done. Cole and the
team were great, but Nissa was amazing.
I enjoyed watching Cole and Nissa's relationship develop.
The sparks between them are immediate and explosive, which freaks out Cole.
He's never had this kind of reaction to a woman, and he doesn't know how to
deal with it. Colw is especially worried because he feels it is a distraction
that he can't afford if he is going to keep Nissa safe. He also has trouble
believing anyone could love him knowing what he's done. Nissa's reaction to his
insecurities and vulnerability was fantastic, and I loved seeing the effect on
Cole. Cole's big moment at the end was lovely.
