Rating: 3.5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐
It took me quite a
while to read this book simply because my personal life was in shambles and
this book started off slow for me. The
blurb sounded interesting and I am a big fan of security romance novels, so it
made perfect sense to give this book a chance. In this security novel, we have
Charlotte, a computer bad ass, and Vince who is a retired navy seal. They dance around each other for half of the
book while trying to solve an abduction case.
This book starts out with Charlotte and Vince being put together to
solve a case and it means uncovering the truth about Charlotte and her past.
For the most part, I enjoyed the second half of this book because that is when
the action starts. The one thing that
threw me off was the function of Alpha Security and I did not know whether they
were detectives or the CIA. I have read
a lot of security romance novels and this story doesn't really tell their
primary function. Are they body guards,
private detectives, or undercover agents?
Only the author knows because I sure didn't.
The romance aspect
of this book was okay, but it could have used a little more chemistry and
development. Charlotte was a bad-ass
female lead and I felt like she was a little too much of a bad ass because her
femininity did not show at all. I liked
that she was British, but the only words that she even uses is
"bloody". I am pretty sure
that there are more words in their vocabulary.
Vince was an ex-navy seal who lost his best friend to war and I loved
that part about him. He had heart and I
enjoyed watching him open up to Charlotte.
One thing that I found cute and kinda strange is the nicknames that they
have for each other. Charlotte calls
Vince "Navy" and Vince calls Charlotte, "English" and I
find it cute, but Vince never calls Charlotte by her name, which I was waiting
for because it would have shown the progression of their relationship. Charlotte actually calls him Vince as their
relationship progressed and I appreciated that little touch.
Though this book had
a slow start for me, it picked up and took me for a ride with Alpha Security
firm. I recommend this book most
definitely.
