> 3 dayElle James stories suffer from being too short. While theres nothing wrong with a short story, in this instance, she rushes things and we dont get any character development, nor do we get a properly developed relationship between the hero and heroine. Their coupling is forced on the reader and were told they have feelings for each other instead of witnessing it evolve organically. How exactly did Nacho fall for Erin when hed spent all of five minutes with her several times while she tended to his cut finger? He doggedly pursued her based off of nothing, really. Yet were to believe he feels enough for her in those few short interactions, in which he learns absolutely nothing about her, that he knows shes his future? Really? Aside from chemistry and pure lust, what has these two risking their careers to pursue a relationship? These stories could benefit from a minimum of another hundred pages so that we can be shown their developing feelings instead of being told the characters have them. The first rule of writing is to show, not tell, and Ms. James violates it in almost every book! It makes for a less than satisfying read. Perhaps thats also why her sex scenes lack any real passion and fail to get my heart racing because I havent seen the characters interact in the right ways to properly build sufficient tension so that when they do inevitably fall into bed together, theyre burning up the sheets. That aside, this book couldve benefited from a better editor than the one Miss James had. The most egregious error was her saying Erin feared being, and I quote, court marshaled. No joke, thats actually what she wrote! Sorry to tell you, Miss James, but its spelled court martialed!! How embarrassing! Then she had words capitalized that shouldnt have been, like smack dab in the middle of a sentence she capitalized the word kill! Thats not a proper noun! There were several instances of missing punctuation, and even several sentences that were missing words! Tsk, tsk! Better hire a better editor because mistakes like these are amatuer hour!

> 3 dayIm hooked on this series, SEALs Team is addictive!!! Caesars hot, latin drive and confidence was just as great! Determined, never to gave up on his lady. Loved it! And coupled with a nurse that knows when its time to give in to his love. More then recommend this one, actually all the Take No Prisoners Series is hot! And, so romantic. Cant put it down! Do we have one for Irish?

> 3 dayThis story was like my kryptonite. I love medical stories, I love military stories. Put them together and I just knew that Ill love it. This story was no exception. I absolutely adored Caesar and Erin. Caesar is sexy and charming. He knows what he wants and has no problems going after it. Erin is a little less sure of herself, but shes going to let Caesar prove to her once and for all that HE is the only thing that she needs. Their chemistry was crazy well-written and totally believable. The plot was nicely done, full of action and suspense. I believed every moment of it. My only complaint? I would have loved their story to be longer. Ill definitely be reading more from this author.

> 3 dayI really enjoyed this story. It was fun to read and had great characters. Erin and Cesar have some roadblocks in the way for them. Cesar is ready to just avoid the roadblocks but Erin is not. She sees the difference in their rank as a problem because it is against the rules, even though they are from different branches of the military. She has also been hurt by a man in the military and so is not ready to get into another relationship with one. Cesar is ready to work past it all. He noticed Erin and observed her for some time and really likes her. He keeps coming up with situations so that he can see her. They finally have a moment and then Cesar gets sent on a mission and comes back seriously injured. I liked the play between relationship and action. There was a really good mix of it that keeps you completely involved in both. I really like that aspect of it. Cesars mission and injury is not the only action in the book, but Ill let you find out what that is yourself. This is a quick read that will keep you entertained and is a great way to spend some time. The sex is hot and well written, just like everything else about this book. I greatly enjoyed it. I cant wait to see some more of the characters in the rest of the series and hope that we continue to catch glimpses of relationships and how they progress in future ones. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone without any problems. You wont feel like you are left out or missing anything.
