I rolled my eyes so much that they probably are now somewhere on the floor. This book was full of clichés and a super irritating and stupid heroine. She behaved like a teenager. The "big" secret wasn't really a secret, it felt like one more plot device the author tick marked.

The heroine is best described in the book with :
She was an idiot.
She deserved to die. For real.

The hero also wasn't that impressionable.
In the end I JUST DIDNT CARE what happened to them.

Cindy Dees is my favorite author in the HQ Romance Suspense line. Love the New Orleans setting, the way she uses the military background, and the on-going heat between Bass and Carrie.

This book is the 4th in the Code: Warrior SEALs series. It's a stand alone and doesn't have to be read in order. There is no cliff hangers and it does contain a HEA. The book started out great, actually couldn't put it down, by the middle I was shaking my head at the heroine and just wanted to skip pages to get to a point that was interesting again, thank goodness near the end the book picked back up with some fast-paced, action and saved it.

Bastien LeBlanc is a New Orleans detective and a Navy SEAL on the weekends. He was called to a house about a kidnapping, the caller, Carrie Price, the camera woman for her boss on the America's Ghosts show. On meeting her he is stumped by emotions she brings out that he usually keeps pushed low. Bass doesn't do relationships but cannot deny his attraction to Carrie. Neither is sure that they can trust each other, he knows she's hiding something and tends to find out what it is. Carrie plans to keep that secret so, she must keep running and she's got good at hiding too. Now a real killer is after her and an in order for Bass to save Carrie he must expose some secrets from the past before they can move forward.

This is the second book I've read from this series and I really enjoyed it. Bass reminds me of a typical guy who hasn't let anyone close. Then enter Carrie. I love the way the book was started with the question of what happened. Then the book had a neat way Cindy did this story. It keeps people guessing as to what is going on. Is it about the show? Or? Is it about something else. It keeps you guessing til just about the end. The bad guy turns out to be something of a surprise. But I like how she keeps the suspense going. For she even stumps the SEAL which is hard to do. I like how there is different twists to this story. That causes the ending to be a bit of a surprise. I look forward to the next in this series. At least I hope there is.

This story starts off funny - a paranormal TV show where the host actually disappears. A quirky heroine, smart-ass dialogue, handsome responding cop. Unfortunately the heroine falls apart about midway through the story into helpless running away while the hero goes over the top for flawless, military Superman. The ending's not bad though - a return to comedy involving unconscious shouting and feeding alligators.
