Cabe is a moving hero. Strong and brave, of course, but he had terrible times that led him to build walls around him to protect himself. This does not prevent him from being loyal and honest, he is just very cautious, which is easily understood. Amy is a heroine that we can only admire. Sassy, ​​smart, determined. She is an impressive force of nature. I loved that our protagonists behave like adults who communicate and help each other. Their relationship was able to convince me without problem. The secondary characters are not set aside, they are not there for the decor, we are very attached to them. Scarlett Cole once again proves her immense talent.

Cabe, who has been introduced in earlier books, gets his time to shine with new to the series, Amy.

We learn that Cabe is affected by the earlier loss of his fiance while she was in active duty and that is now clouding his decisions and actions around FBI agent Amy. Cabe doesn't want to lose his love for Jes and Amy doesn't want to be the girl perceived as sleeping with upper management. They fight their own battles but their attraction is too much to keep them apart for very long.

This is another cute installment and the author does a good job keeping the universe and characters tied together while giving each book its own plot line.

What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously. To have a book that is well written as well as entertaining is a delight. Reading is about escaping your world and entering another one. The word building was phenomenal in this book. Here I forgot about my own life and was immersed in the world created by the author. I would recommend this book.

This story takes place between Cabe Moss and Amy Murray. These characters are well constructed with realistic backgrounds. The loss Cabe experiences is captured very well and does not go overboard. The job harassment Amy goes through is all too real and I commend Ms. Cole for writing it in this manner. The setup of this story is nicely done with Amy's motive for joining the FBI.

I would say the first half of this book, I am riveted and fully engaged. Then about half way through, when the romance part starts to get heated up, I lose interest. The chemistry between Cabe and Amy just is not there for me. I like them better as partners in fighting crime. The plot seems to take a back seat and felt a bit glossed over so that the relationship between the two characters could evolve. It isn't a bad thing, it just lost that action and suspense part of the story.

What I really like is how much I learned about playing poker and hidden gems in Las Vegas. I learn about the Neon museum that I wish I had known before I went to Vegas. Viewing through the eyes of Amy, Vegas becomes less a depressing sin city of despair and drunken mayhem. Instead, it is a colourful place with history and character. The little touches of history regarding blacks and women in Vegas enhanced the story.

The conflict in this story is straightforward and there are no surprises. The ending concludes swiftly and yet I am left feeling a bit dissatisfied. Because there are a couple of threads that I am not sure why they were important enough to mention yet nothing happened with it. And of course, the mystery of Amy's mother is never solved. One specific thread that is mentioned is the slots bothering Amy. Yet nothing materializes from it. This romantic suspense is recommended to readers who like happily ever afters and work place romances.

Steamy romance between Cabe and Amy, who are working together in a case. I hadn’t read the previous books in the series so there was a slight disadvantage in that sense but it was still easy to follow. I do wish the author explained a few points more, like how Amy’s cover was blown, but overall it was still a good book.

I think I was at a disadvantage not having read the earlier books in the series, but this is one I will definitely go back and catch up on! The characters were well developed and the plot was fast moving and suspenseful.

I was looking forward to Cabe's story but for some reason he wasn't my favorite. I don't know why this story didn't reel me in like others.

I did like Amy and I liked the chemistry and story between Cabe and Amy. My heart went to Cabe with the loss of his fiancee and I felt him moving on was done well, but there was just something that didn't win me over.

Again time line issues and giggling which do distract me. Those are person irks and for others these two things wouldn't be an issue.

2.5 Stars!

Deep Cover will keep you interested from the start.
Deep Cover will bring Cabe story to the head. He gets to work with Amy which will spark up his life never before. Cabe has always been about his work ever since he lost his fiance. He never pay attention to anything unless it was about work. But things change when he partner with Amy. Amy is different than he ever expected. She is so positive and determine that he also gets that way too.
Amy may be a little over her head with this coming mission. But she is determine to make it through no matter what. And I love the determination from her. She is willing to do the work in order to make it work. And she does not mind the grumpy Cabe even though she has a little crush on him. Who can blame her? I would too.
Cabe and Amy will bring positive for each other that you want them together in Deep Cover.
3 1/2 Star

Both haunted by the past….

Finally Cabe’s story! When he lost Jess, any thoughts of love and forever were gone. Immersed in his military career and now in the Security firm he and his brothers in arms started, he still thought that way. Even if a chance meeting with Amy, shook him up. That beyond awkward encounter paved the way for an even bigger chock… Working together! Amy had been through the wringer work-wise and the rocky start with Cabe didn’t help. She wanted to do well in her new assignment for many different reasons but her past haunted her life too….

Two wounded souls brought together in a common goal, with danger and suspense all around them, made for a rollicking good ride! I loved how confident Amy was despite being knocked down again and again. She could still be positive and never give up her sense of self-worth. With Cabe she could show a softer side and help him through battles of his own. Together, they were a team. In all ways…

With heart-pounding action, love found its way for Cabe and Amy, bringing the series arc to a close with a completely satisfying read. If you like love with a lot of action and tension, this is a series for you!

Scarlett Cole writes sexy characters and a sexy plot. This will be steaming up beach bags on every coast.

This is Caleb and Amy’s love story and can be read as a standalone, but events and characters from the first two books are referenced once in a while.

My issue in the book was more with the details than the actual plot - there were a large handful of typographical/grammatical errors that really annoyed me, and I felt like things like money laundering, which was a pretty significant detail, was just glazed over with the author saying it is about exchanging a suitcase full of dirty bills for a suitcase full of clean bills, which doesn't make sense.

This was a good action romance that was well paced and suspenseful, but the lack of details in certain areas paired with all the errors made me lose some of my love for it.

An exciting, fast-paced read with an amazing romance between a man learning to love again and a woman learning to trust again. While you could read this one on its own, you’ll definitely understand more of the backstory and motivation of the main characters if you’ve read the other books. I highly recommend these books if you're in the mood for a great romantic suspense series.

The plot - <i>"Ex-Navy SEAL Cabe Moss always comes when called to duty―at all costs. Even though the death of his fiancée nearly destroyed him, Cabe won’t let his past interfere with any work that has to get done. When his latest task pushes him to team up with FBI Agent Amy Murray, a fierce beauty with the undercover skills to match, Cabe must admit that, for the first time in years, he wants to do more than just complete their mission together…

Amy was born ready for this assignment, but working side-by-side with the strong, silent, and frustratingly professional Cabe seems to be the biggest challenge of all. But when the sparks begin to fly―and the stakes rise to dangerous heights―the only thing Amy is left worrying about is how she can resist him. Their lives may be in danger, but their hearts hold the biggest risk of all…"<i>

Steamy, sizzling, angsty romantic suspense full of drama, nail biting twists and turns. Lots of chemistry but bad timing for Cabe when he met Amy. Will their stars ever align? Love the Navy Seal man and a strong heroine. Great second cast of characters. Enjoyable read!

I really love the way that this author writes and found they can write a story that completely engages me in their story. This was another great story written by this author that I really could not get enough of reading.

DNF. I struggled to get invested in this book between the generic prose and the well worn trope. I'm sure that some would enjoy it but for me I found this quite boring.
