Sadly 1 star – Romantic Suspense
Why did I read this? Well, I love military romantic suspense and of course the smokin’ hot cover didn’t hurt matters. But I understand now why there are such low ratings because unfortunately, the cover is the best...possibly only...redeeming thing about this book.
It just didn’t work for me or hold my interest...at all. The love scenes are odd, giggle inducing, and have very flowery prose, especially for a military romantic suspense read.

This is such a disappointing book. The prose is overly flowery for a romantic suspense but the worst part of it is the suspense portion wherein a DELTA force op team is called in to assist homeland security and other governmental agencies to protect the scientific minds meeting at a conference. The hero, the DELTA force operator, and the heroine, one of the presenters at the conference, know each other from a romance when they were young (10 years ago). The hero sees her name on the attendee lis...more

This is book 1 in Alexis Grant's Men of Delta Force series. As far as the romantic suspense goes, this is a fun read. The book has an interesting take on global terrorism, focusing on the possibility of geological terrorism - what would happen if a terrorist organization targeted susceptible geological plates thus setting off massive earthquakes and destruction.
I liked that the two characters had a previous relationship. The tension arises when it is clear that Mia and Ryan had poor timing and...more

Funny. The description here lists the main female's character as "Mia Santiago" but in the book her last name is Austin. She is described as a "blatina" (author's word, not mine for 1/2 African-American, 1/2 Latina). So why was her named changed? To sell more books? FAIL. I don't have high standards for smut and even by those, this book was poor. Judging by the other comments on here about this book, I'm pretty darn spot-on. You want "Special Ops" along with your smut? Read Stephanie Tyler. She'...more

Mia and Ryan were two people madly in love, but the lives they chose took them in very different directions. Although there were no hard feelings between them, fate had other plans. Years later, they're brought together again, only one of them is in grave danger. It's up to the other to save their life.
Ryan is the type of man that really defines a hero. He chose to go into the military to help people, I mean genuinely help peop...more

I really like LA Banks, but the only thing I didn't like about this, is that the men almost talked too much. Most of the alpha male posturing is short and sweet and here I thought they kept going just for the sake of continuing. Otherwise, I liked the story. I liked the heat between Ryan and Mia. Overall good story, just too much excessive male dialogue. You expect it from the women...not the men.
I was so disappointed in this book. It had a topic which I don't think I have read before geological terrorism. I found it hard to get into the characters especially Dr. Mia Austin, what I really found annoying was her inner dialog. Captain Ryan Mason of Delta Force when he was with 2 members of his team was ok. There was no chemistry between Ryan and Mia that I could see. I read all the book, but at times I taught to forget about it. I was waiting for some major action after all these guys are...more
Apart from the first three pages where the hero had a blast from the past of his ex, the story did very little for me. It certainly didn't 'sizzle and burn' me. On the contrary, it left me feeling flat and cold.
DNF. made it to pg 70. I can't stand the heroine and she was just reunited with hero who she has a big past with and it made no sense. Also tons of information overload. Can't get into it.
Somewhat entertaining but flawed. My full review is here: http://scienceofromance.blogspot.com/...
Been reading a lot of Delta Force/Navy Seal/Super Spy romantic suspense thrillers lately. This one is good but not great.
I enjoyed this book, there were a few problems with it but overall I thought it was good for a first book.
Oh it's sizzling with action and sex appeal alright!
The characters were believable without being out of touch. The idea of disasters and terrorism was unique.
Exciting,exhilarating,loaded with action.
I just couldnt do it. I could not get into this book. Bummer cause it seemed to potential. Oh well.
DNF. Was able to tough it out until chapter 8, but that was it. Worse book I've ever read. Won't be reading this author in the future.
