Deep Cover is book 3 in the Love Over Duty series-I recommend reading the first two books in the series first, though this book can be read as a stand alone. The author does a good job filling you in on what went on in the first 2 books. Cabe and his friends, former Navy Seals, run a security ops company that goes undercover with the FBI in Las Vegas at a casino where women have worked and our mysteriously disappearing. The main characters are Cabe and Amy, both of them are resistant to a relationship due to their pasts, but with Amy being the undercover FBI agent working the case they are forced to work closely and sparks ignite. There are steamy love scenes, and lots of suspense and action on their way to the HEA. If you like reading Romantic Suspense with Alpha Navy Seals, and special ops you will LOVE this book. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Scarlett Cole. A Great Read!

**************Honest Review given in exchange for ARC from Publisher******************

I received an advanced copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book. It does not fall into a lot of the cliches that many special ops/security firm romances do. The hero was not domineering and heroine was not a damsel in distress. They were both competent people and weren't overly reckless or anything like that. The story line had enough action and plotting to keep it interesting. There were a few intimate scenes that were steamy and lovely.

It was fun to see the love blossom between Cabe and Amy. I was concerned that their previous baggage was going to create a lot of conflict but it was minimal. The author assured the readers that they were very much in love with each other.

I really enjoyed this author's writing style. Even though this book is the third in a series, there was enough of the backstory explained to brought me up to speed. Although having read this one, I'm going to go back and read the other two!

Four and a half stars.

Scarlett Cole's new series (can I call it 'new' if this is the third book?) has really hit its stride with this confident, gripping and engaging instalment.

Amy Murray is an FBI agent, newly transferred to the San Diego office after her superior made unwelcome sexual advances. The daughter and granddaughter of legendary Las Vegas high-rollers she is asked to take a key role in a new assignment involving the disappearance of several women over a long period of time which appear to be connected with a casino in San Diego. The plan is to insert Amy as a new blackjack dealer, mirror the circumstances of the other girls who have gone missing and hope whoever is responsible for the women disappearing takes the bait.

Cabe Moss is the third founder member of the Eagle Securities, and best friends since the age of 10 with the other two; Six and Mac. Two years ago his fiancee Jess was killed in action and he has been alone ever since. Eagle Securities are tracking a team of terrorists who tried to kill Six's fiancee Lou and steal a formula she developed. They also tried to silence Mac's girlfriend Delaney when she got too close to uncovering their drugs route. Now the team are trying to uncover the money laundering operation and have also identified the same casino as being involved. So there's an alphabet soup of CIA, FBI, San Diego PD and Eagle Securities with skin in the game.

If you've read Scarlett's other series you will know she likes to stretch the angst as tight as she can, but not so much in this series and this book has the least angst that I can recall of any of her books. It's simply a cracking good read, with a hero who wants to love again and a heroine who has mad skills and a cool head. They were a brilliant couple and I loved this book.

If you are looking for a beautiful heroine who is also clever and quick-witted, an alpha male ex-SEAL with a big heart and a loving family then you've come to the right place. Overall, suitably nail-biting, funny, sweet and sexy in turns. A winner!

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Loved this book! Cabe is a swoon worthy hero who was almost destroyed when his fiance died shortly before their wedding two years ago. He has continued living, but just as a shell of who he was, until he meets Amy. Amy has scars of her own, but keeps moving forward. The attraction between the two of them sent so many sparks I'm surprised my kindle didn't ignite....

I loved the characters and felt invested in their story. Both of the characters have enough quirks and back story to make them feel real and with depth. I found myself hoping for them to get a HEA, however, as they are both on an undercover operation, their HEA is a bit more out of reach.

While this novel is part of a series, this is a stand alone book. In fact, it is the first book I've read by this author, but it won't be the last. I'm adding her to my must read authors' list.

Best story ever. Plenty of action. The sex is WOW. The characters are strong and lovable. Will keep you up reading all night. I can’t wait for Ms. Cole’s next book. They make you feel like you’re right there with them.
