Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Suspenseful and full of chemistry, this is an exciting read with a great romance, and I loved it!<\/p>\n

The third and final book in the Love Over Duty<\/i> series, this is the story of Cabe Moss, the last of three friends featured in this series. Cabe and his two best friends grew up together, were SEALs together, and then started Eagle Security, leading a team of badasses on all sorts of badass missions. Cabe has watched his two buddies fall in love and find their HEAs, which brings home to him all that he is missing out on. It\u2019s been two years since his fianc\u00e9 was killed while she was serving overseas, and though he still grieves her and knows he\u2019ll love her forever, he\u2019s beginning to feel like he wants the kind of happiness that his friends have found.<\/p>\n

Amy Harris is a strong and determined FBI agent. She left her last job after being sexually harassed by a superior, and then enduring taunts and gossip. Her fresh start in San Diego sees her continuing an investigation that is very close to her heart \u2013 those of women going missing. The case of the missing women appears to be tied in with a money laundering scheme, and all evidence points to a local casino. In a joint effort, the CIA, FBI, Police Department and Eagle Security (due to their previous encounters with the bad guys) team up to investigate, with Cabe and Amy being the ones chosen to go undercover in the casino to figure out what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

From the very beginning, sparks fly between Cabe and Amy. Their attraction is a palpable thing, but there is so much standing in their way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are reasons, really good fucking reasons, why you and I should keep our distance. There is shit you don\u2019t know about me, about my past. And there\u2019s this case. And there\u2019s everything that happened to you in Atlanta. It feels like a lot. And yeah, I get it feels insurmountable, because I find myself wondering why the hell I\u2019m even considering you and me.\u201d
\nHe took a moment and looked out of the window, up toward the sky.
\n\u201cBut?\u201d
\n\u201cBut doesn\u2019t it feel worth it, Ames?\u201d he asked quietly.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love the way that, despite their personal battles, they are both so open about what is between them. They admit what they\u2019re feeling and how it\u2019s impacting their work, they talk about all of the possibilities, and I just loved the functionality of it all! And of course their chemistry is off the charts. Their physical attraction is only the beginning of what begins to brew between them as they work together and get to know each other, and real feelings develop, making everything so much more intense until it hits the point where neither of them can hold back any further.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so hard to resist this. I don\u2019t know how to stop it any more than you do.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a beautifully developing love story that is seriously hot, and though it has its ups and downs, it\u2019s managed well. Amy and Cabe are very mature, sensible and realistic about everything, they share a mutual respect for each other both as colleagues and as partners, and I loved watching them work through their feelings as they openly accept what they are starting to become to each other \u2013 even in their difficult situation.<\/p>\n

Because in the middle of it all is the drama of their case. It\u2019s quite involved and there is a lot of detail and book-time dedicated to the mystery\/suspense part of the story. There are links with the crime stories in the previous books, which are cleverly intertwined. It\u2019s well-written and kept my interest, and ties in really well with the romance as you can see the two different parts of Amy and Cabe\u2019s relationship developing side by side.<\/p>\n

Right now, she needed the SEAL, not the lover, no matter how willing he was to do both.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really enjoyed this book. It was well paced and well-written with just the right balance of action and emotion. I loved Cabe and Amy as characters, and loved watching everything happen between them.<\/p>\n

This was a great read and a gorgeous romance \u2013 4 stars.<\/p>\n
