In the Line of Fire...

Former SEAL Malachai “Mac” MacCarrick is all about the future he’s created with his Navy brothers in Eagle Securities, taking assignments in the most dangerous places, and doing things no one but ex-military would attempt. But when an urgent phone call brings his troubled past—and the woman he once loved—into the present, it’s a chance to redeem himself that he can’t refuse. Straight to the heart...

An investigative journalist researching an explosive story, Delaney Shapiro tells herself she got over Mac—and his role in her brother’s death—a long time ago. But the first moment she sees him at her bedside in an overseas hospital, she knows it’s not true. Every moment together rekindles the desire that once burned between them, and now that she’s a target for an emerging Russian arms dealer, Mac won’t let her out of his sight. To protect her, he’ll risk it all—including his life…

I have been a fan of Scarlett Cole's since I picked up her first book The Strongest Steel back in 2015, each of her books have been four or five star reads for me and this while this story wasn't a five star it definitely gets four Love Over Duty stars.

There are a few things I loved about this book first and foremost is that while Delaney and Malachai haven't seen one another in fourteen years they have never really moved on so when Delaney finds herself in some trouble the person she calls for help is Mac and he runs to be by her side. I love a good second chance at love story and this is exactly what you have here, what makes it even better is that Delaney holds onto her conviction on why they separated all those years ago and doesn't just fall back into things with Mac....he definitely has to work for it. 

The only thing that held me back from giving this five stars is silly really now that I am thinking about it, but, it bothered me that Delaney would get close to Mac only to shut him down again and again I understand she was having an internal war but Mac asked her to let him explain things and she didn't want to hear it if she had maybe things would have happened quicker for them. For a tough investigative journalist that needs to find the answers before she can report it she doesn't do that in her own life? It sort of threw me off a bit and really annoyed me, if you can be tough in your job pull up your big girl panties and be strong for yourself in your own life. 

There is much more than going on than just the two of them finding their way back to one another, Delaney is an investigative journalist and apparently she has uncovered something that someone wants to stay hidden. With Delaney's life in danger we get to see how the men of Eagle Securities takes care of one of their own.....watch out bad guys because you are not going to like what happens to you if you mess with one of their women!

Final Siege is the second book in the Love Over Duty series and it can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend the first book Under Fire. Cabe's story is due out in July and I cannot wait to see how things work out for him in Deep Cover, Cabe has been in a somber mood since the death of his fiancĂ©e so I am really pulling for him to get the perfect woman for him.



FINAL SIEGE Excerpt

Half asleep, unwilling to fully waken and face the day, Delaney snuggled deep into the covers and allowed the dreams that danced on the edge of her consciousness to enter. In it, she was naked, in a large white bed, with a man behind her. A hand spanned her stomach, pulling her back against a firm, warm chest. Spooning. Her favorite thing.
Lazily, the hand moved upward until it cupped her breast, and Delaney secretly urged it to squeeze gently, but it didn’t. Whoever the hand belonged to was definitely aroused. She could feel the heavy erection pressing against her back. Teasingly, she wiggled her butt against him in the hope he’d get the message, but nothing. No response.
Sun shone in through large open windows with white billowing curtains as she reveled in feelings of being turned on. She turned in the man’s arms, grateful when he pulled her closer to him. His chest was wide, with a light smattering of hair, and she pressed her forehead to it as she slid her hand between them to the waistband of his shorts.
A hand gripped her wrist. “Don’t,” a voice said gruffly. Hard to get? That was a new one. She moved closely and pressed a series of soft kisses to his chest. But she could be that girl. The one who was confident enough to initiate. She licked his nipple and heard him gasp.
“Delaney, please. Fuck. Wake up!”
Suddenly the bed shook. Covers were dragged off her body, and her skin was cold. Then the realization hit her.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
It wasn’t a dream.
Delaney forced one eye open and confirmed her worst nightmare. Mac stood naked, apart from a pair of basketball shorts and a huge erection. And if the tenting was to be believed, his chest and bicep dimensions weren’t the only muscles that had grown. His hair was ruffled, standing up every which way as it always used to, and his eyes told her that she’d woken him up. By attempting to grab his dick.
Dear God. She was going to die.

About Scarlett Cole

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
