Well done Ms. Cole! Once again you weave the perfect amount of suspense with romance. I loved Amy and Cabe’s chemistry, and Cabe broke my heart a few times with all he had been through. He is an ex-Navy SEAL who lost his fiancé tragically and is having trouble moving on. Then Amy, an FBI agent comes along with past issues of her own but they are attracted to each other. But can they find a way to work through their issues so they can be together despite all the obstacles and the case they need to solve? This book was sexy, emotional and had an exciting storyline to go with it. I don’t want to give anything away in this review so you’ll just have to read it! I promise you won’t be disappointed! Romantic suspense at its best, I couldn’t put the book down!

Book three in the Love Over Duty series is another wonderful fast paced suspense romance. Not only is this action packed and sexy, it also has a touch of humour. This story features alpha hero Cabe and his associate Amy. Great page turner and highly unputdownable

I received a copy from Netgalley and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

This is the third book in the Love Over Duty series. While it can stand on its own, there is a over arcing plot that does stretch between the three books. Cabe Moss never expected to find love after losing his fiance during the war but when he meets Amy, he knows he might just be getting a second chance. But can Cabe handle seeing Amy put her life in danger as an FBI agent as he works on an undercover mission with her?
This was a very enjoyable novel of romantic suspense with characters that you just can't help rooting for as they work towards a HEA. Plenty of action with just enough romance to balance it out.

Once again I have started a series at the end instead of the beginning. Fortunately it didn't matter at all.

Cade's fiancé died in an IED blast while patrolling. In this book we see his reactions during her birthday and on the anniversary of her death. The first frustrated me but I got it, the second brought me to tears. Ex-SEALs he and his two best friends have started a security company and are contracted on this case with the CIA because of the international implications.

Amy is an FBI agent who has recently transferred to San Diego, after having gone through the hell of sexual harassment and the aftermath of her accusation. She specializes in searches for missing women, for a very personal reason.

After an initial interaction that didn't end well, they certainly didn't expect run into each other again. Two separate cases with a common denominator. A casino, a venue that Amy is uniquely qualified to go in undercover. She will be looking for leads on the missing women with Cade as one of her backup as he looks for the money trail.

Fast paced and suspenseful as the pieces come start coming together. Plenty of heat between Cade and Amy as they try to remain professional without moving on their attraction. Once they give in it's explosive and just adds to the drama.

I now have to go back and read the other two books in this series. I really liked Mac and Six and their women. I need to read their stories.

In case anyone missed all of our “best of” lists that include Scarlett Cole, I’m a HUGE fan of her work. She’s one of the few authors I’ve found who can do rockstar romance that doesn’t irritate me, and other new adult romances that I don’t feel too old and grumpy to be reading. (The Strongest Steel is one of my all-time favorite reads in ANY category of romance, and I’ve read a crap-ton of romance, y’all. That’s saying something.)And while I don’t normally dig romantic suspense, that doesn’t include Ms. Cole, because I ADORE her Love Over Duty series. So, the fact that I loved Deep Cover should come as a surprise to exactly no one. ​

First of all, it’s important to note that you can read Deep Cover as a standalone, but I don’t recommend it. A few secondary characters in this book were primary characters in the first two books in the series, and you won’t enjoy seeing them if you haven’t read the first two books. They aren’t intrusive at all in this book, but as a fan of the series, seeing Six and Lou and Delaney and Mac was like visiting with old friends, and I wouldn’t want new readers to miss out on that feeling. So, long-story-short, read the whole series. Start with Under Fire. Sorry to be a hard ass about it, but, yeah...it is what it is. (*shrugs*)

My favorite part of the book, by far, was Amy. She’s a young agent in a man’s world, and she’s more than holding her own. She’s smart and tough and good at her job, and the case the team worked on wouldn’t have been successful without her. Fans of competence porn (the only kind of porn I enjoy), will love Amy.

Cabe is a perfectly balanced hero, as well. He’s protective and alpha, but still mindful and respectful of Amy’s competence and independence. He doesn’t boss her around or go all caveman on her, which I really appreciated about him. Given his past and how his previous relationship ended, he could’ve easily become a super over-protective jerkwad, but he didn’t. Kudos, Cabe. Kudos.

The barriers to these two finding their happily ever after are pretty straightforward, too. I loved that. They had some misunderstandings, sure, but they talked them out and communicated like adults at all times. I can’t even TELL you how much I appreciated THAT. If there’s one thing I can’t tolerate, it’s stupid misunderstandings in romance that could be easily cleared up with a single, adult conversation.

The action in the book was paced perfectly, too. That’s a must for romantic suspense, in my opinion. It’s one area where so many of the RS novels I’ve hated in the past fell down. This one has the perfect blend of suspense and romance, and the plot moves along swiftly.

So, no big surprise here, I’ll close out the review by reminding y’all how much I love this author. I know, I know...the gushing is getting embarrassing. Just go 1-click the book, OK? You won’t regret it.

Full disclosure: We received an ARC from NetGalley, free of charge.

The <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/196176-love-over-duty" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em><strong>Love Over Duty series </strong></em></a> concludes with the story of Cabe and Amy. It was great to see Six and Mac with their ladies again, too.  <strong>Deep Cover</strong> is my favorite in the series.  It has layers of story jam-packed with romance, action and suspense.

I really enjoyed these characters and wouldn't mind continuing on in this world. I'm sorry to think this is the end. Eagle Securities is working with the FBI and other government agencies to bring down the Russians involved in Lou's kidnap and development theft in <strong>Under Fire</strong>. There's also money-laundering and sex trafficking aspects.

Cabe is a former Navy SEAL running the security firm with his long-time friends and SEAL buddies.  He sees the relationships his friends have; it is something he has always wanted. He is still lost in memories of Jess, his fiance, who was killed in action two years ago.  But his eye is captured by Amy, although it makes him feel disloyal to Jess.

Amy is an FBI agent who wants to focus on missing women. Her mother disappeared years ago and has never been found. When the FBI joins the case to look for women abducted for the sex trafficking, Amy goes undercover.  Luckily, she has unique skills which allow her to do it.

Cabe and Amy have serious business with the investigation and manage to be very professional despite their attraction.  I always enjoy when characters are honest with themselves and others. They do a good job with being authentic. Both of them learn and grow a great deal, both personally and professionally, during this operation. They have incredible skills and self-control.  It's exciting and it's so easy to cheer for them!

WOW! What a page turner! This book was one that kept me up way past my bedtime and I couldn’t put it down. It was awesome! The way that Miss Cole was able to have the characters interact with one another was amazing. There was excitement, suspense, fear, doubt, romance, and then there was overall comradery. Each character was so wonderfully scripted it was great to see that. Miss Cole is a wonderful writer and I can’t wait to read more from her!

Cade Moss is a partner with Six, a former SEAL teammate along with Mac, in Eagle Securities. The interaction that the three of them have together is something that is wonderful to see because it is like all three of them are part of the same brain. We see Cade in the midst of a heart-breaking moment, that is the birthday of his lost love but when Amy is knocked into him compliments of a drunk in a bar, could she bring him into the light of something that could bring him from the darkness that is mourning after his lost love?

Amy Murray is an FBI agent who is not to be taken lightly. When a case involves missing women, money laundering, and a casino, no one is better to go undercover than Amy. However, when the mystery guy from the other night is suddenly in the room as part of security will Amy be able to keep her cool and not act on the emotions that he brings out of her? Can the two of them work together long enough to complete the case or will the ever-present sexual tension take over and cause an issue within the case?

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

In the final installment of this series it is Cabe’s chance to try and find love again after the death of his fiancé Jess two years ago from an IED in Afghanistan. After retiring from the SEALs he, along with his two best friends, started Eagle Security and they have been asked to assist other law enforcement agencies in an undercover operation at a local casino.

Amy is an FBI agent who has recently transferred to the San Diego after the work conditions at the Atlanta office became unbearable through no fault of her own. She has been tasked with going undercover as a dealer at the casino due to the skills she learnt from her father who was a poker champion. This case has become personal due to a tragedy in her past.

They both have pasts they must overcome in order for them to be together in any meaningful way but there is no denying the chemistry between them. Their careers are very important to both of them, so they must work together as they try to maneuver the feelings they have for each. Full of emotion, chemistry and suspense this is a great addition to the series.

Wonderful story! I am never disappointed in a story by Scarlett Cole! Great read that once you start reading you don't want to stop.

Deep Cover is the third book in the Love Over Duty series. Amy and Cabe's chemistry oozes off the page. Their story captivated me from the start. I really enjoyed this book, and I definitely recommend it.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

When I started reading this book, I did not realize that this was book #3 in the series and that I had already read the previous books. Since I read so many books, I tend to forget events in the books so I was really glad that this book had quite a bit of sections that referenced the previous books which helped me remember what had happened and really made this book easy to read as a stand alone for a new reader to the series.

I loved that we saw lots of Cabe and his "brothers" in this book and met Amy. There wasn't a tragic breakup but Cabe did get into Amy's doghouse when he left her at the bar in the beginning! They both are very likeable characters and it was fun to watch them grow into a relationship.

Only thing that would have made the book even better is paragraph breaks with a definite break showing. I was reading along and then the next paragraph was about a new scene with different characters and it was not clear at first.

I realize it is unrealistic of me to want closure of what happened to Amy's mother as there are so many cases that are never solved but I wanted to know what happened to her! And what was with the need for eggnog when she already had eggnog in the fridge??

Lots of action and drama mixed with romance so I loved the book and glad that Cabe was able to move on from the death of his fiance and quit feeling guilty when he thought about Amy!

One last comment, Amy made the decision to stick to a desk job and not undercover but wouldn't undercover work be difficult if she was already exposed to the public as the daughter of a famous gambler??

Thank you to St. Martins Press and Net Galley for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a nice and well wrapped up conclusion to Cabe Moss’s story. Two years prior, Cabe, ex. Navy Seal, lost the love of his life to an IED in Afghanistan. The day of his ex- finance’s birthday, he meets a very attractive woman in a bar and happens to flirt with her. Guilt ridden and ashamed, Cabe leaves the bar with no explanation. As co-owner of Eagle Securities, Cabe and his friends are pulled into a mission by none other than the woman that Cabe met at the bar. Confused and conflicted, Cabe agrees to work with her.

Amy has her own demons to conquer after being sexually harassed by a superior in the Atlanta field office. Now, transferred to San Diego, Amy wants to jumpstart her career and forget the issues back in Atlanta. She isn’t just another pretty face, and wants to prove that she is a top- notch FBI agent. Although she is attracted to Cabe, she wants to remain on professional terms only.

Amy is drawn into a unique case due to her upbringing. She was basically raised in casinos since her dad was a professional poker champion. Working on a missing woman’s case runs too close to home for Amy – her mother went missing when Amy was 10 and was never found.

While Amy’s intentions are to remain totally platonic with Cabe, emotions run high for both. Cabe can’t imagine a life without Jess, and is torn with his feelings towards Amy. Cabe knows deep in his heart that Jess would want him to find love and move on without her. He just isn’t sure if he can do it. Both Amy and Cabe are strong characters and are passionate about solving the case.

I am assuming that this is the end of the series since all of the installments have focused on each of the Eagle Security owners. This installment can be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed all of the books in the series and highly recommend this author.

This story is gripping and entertaining. I really enjoyed it.

Cabe and Amy are great characters. This is my first book by Scarlett Cole and her writing is spot on.

The only complaint I can point out is there wasn’t a break between paragraphs when there was an idea change, so things tended to blend and confuse.

Overall, I will be giving Scarlett Cole another chance and read more of her work!

Yet again, I am sad to see the conclusion of a much loved series from one of my favorite authors. However, I look forward to seeing what else she comes up with.

Cabe and Amy’s chemistry sizzled throughout the entire story, despite their best efforts at fighting their attraction to each other. But I think what got me the most while reading this story, was Cabe’s insecurity, not sure if that’s the correct word, let’s go with fear, of falling for someone and having something happen to them.

The tragic circumstances behind the loss of his beloved fiancée were horrible, and I believe he was justified in the way he felt. And despite his fears, he fell hard for Amy. And I loved how protective of her he was.

And let’s not forget Amy. She’s strong, independent and completely capable of taking care of herself, however she’s putty in Cabe’s arms. And even though she thinks she doesn’t need to depend on anyone else, she’s wrong. Cabe is a perfect fit for her in every way that matters.

This book was everything I could wish for in a Romantic Suspense story. A definite must read.

Deep Cover
Love Over Duty series book #3
Release Date: July 31, 2018
Review copy provided by the publisher

Oh man, this one may be my favourite in the series! I knew Cabe would bring me to my knees...and I couldn't wait!

Cabe is mourning the death of his fiancée, Jess. He walks through life not fully immersed in it. He's trying to move on, but the thought of it shreds his heart. Until he meets Agent Amy Murray.

Amy is all work and no play. She's an FBI agent with something to prove. But Cabe Moss makes her want to break all her rules and take a risk.

The slow simmer of passion in this book was amazing. It was frustrating at times because I wanted them to get down to the hot and sweaty stuff. But they both needed to tread a bit carefully. Sweet baby Jesus, when Cabe and Amy finally hit the sheets, it took my damn breath away! Cabe has a deliciously filthy mouth. And he uses it for more than whispering sweet nothings.

I was totally caught up in the undercover mission they were both working on. I felt like I was trying to solve a puzzle by gathering the bits of clues that were thrown my way. As much as I liked that aspect of the story, I appreciated that it didn't take away from the romance.

Every time Scarlett Cole let us "see" inside Cabe's head, my heart both broke and mended. His difficulty keeping Jess in the past and allowing Amy in was so hard to read. I hurt for him. The journey to his heart healing, while sad at times, was beautiful.

I appreciated that Amy wasn't meant to replace Jess, or even erase her from Cabe's memory. She was meant to make Cabe happy again; Meant to help him find a new and different happiness with her.

The chemistry between these two was powerful. They complimented each other well in their careers and personal lives. Cabe had to fight his need to shield her from everything. He knew he couldn't clip her wings when it came to her job. That just made me love him more.

Scarlett Cole never fails to weave an amazing story that grips me from the first page. Her writing is a source of comfort for me. I know I can expect to be fulfilled in every way when I dive into one of the worlds she's created.

Ya, I really do think that this book is my favourite in the series. But don't get me wrong, I love my men Six and Mac! You need to read their books! You could technically read this book as a stand alone, but don't cheat yourself out of enjoying the first two books. Read them all. In order of course, because my eye twitches when series are read out of order!

Now I need to beg Scarlett for books for Harley and Lite!

This is the third book in the series, Love Over Duty series by Scarlett Cole. Although I had read the previous books when they came out, it had been long enough between books that I felt as if I was reading a total standalone. Cabe is a part owner of a Security firm he started with his 2 best friends when they got out of the Seals. Amy is an agent for the FBI, and although their missions are different, they are working together. Amy goes undercover in this op, and although there is a powerful connection between these two, for many reasons they have to keep everything on the down low. That actually doesn’t work very well. This was a good story, with a bit of romantic suspense with Amy being undercover. It was an enjoyable fast read for me. Once I started reading, I did remember the other couples, but this story was totally about Cabe and Amy. They had enough baggage between them to overcome, so that the story stayed on the couple and the Op.

Deep Cover is book 3 in the Love Over Duty series. I had not read the previous 2 books and I was not confused and had no issues following along.

I loved Cabe and Amy. The chemistry was fantastic and this book is full of suspense that will keep you reading until the very end.

I give this 5 out of 5.

The guys from Eagle Securities are back for the final instalment of the Love Over Duty series and the focus is on Cabe Moss. All novels are standalone although there's a connecting plot thread which ties them together. I've read the previous novels and recommend them as highly as this one.

FBI Agent Amy Murray is newly transferred to San Diego, after leaving her post in Atlanta under a cloud. She's eager to shake off the past and prove her worth and when she's asked to go undercover for an assignment, she knows this is the opportunity she's waited for. However, she didn't expect to fall under the spell of Cabe Moss who is part of the operation. He's someone who respects her competence for the role she must play and somehow he steals her heart too.

Working an assignment alongside 'G-men' isn't an ideal situation, so Cabe Moss is pleasantly surprised when he meets Agent Murray. He's impressed with her professionalism and skills to undertake her assigned undercover role...she's a distraction he didn't account for particularly when it stirs up mixed emotions of desire and guilt.

Exciting and fast-paced, the sizzling chemistry sparking between the protagonists adds to the thrilling suspense as the Eagle Security guys embark on a new mission; bringing closure to them all for varying reasons. For Cabe, he finally finds peace with a tragic event in his past and allows himself to open his heart again. Meanwhile, Amy finally shakes off the discriminations which have blighted her career so far and finally proves her worth.

I particularly like the balance of the writing with more emphasis on the suspense rather than the romance. Yes, we are very aware of the difficulties the protagonists are facing relating to the balance between their work and the sexual tension which sparks between them. However, the action takes precedence. In addition, the camaraderie between the Cabe, Six and Mac is second to none; they've known each other since kindergarten and particularly enjoyed the scenes where the three of them exchange lively banter.

If you're looking for an exceptional romantic suspense series to read, Love Over Duty series is definitely worth reading. As a fan of Scarlett Cole's writing, I'm tentatively waiting for her next book release.

I am a huge fan of Scarlett Cole so I was excited to get offered Cabe’s book! I grown fond of him from the two other books.

Scarlett Cole did an amazing job with this book. Cabe might be my favorite! But then again I always say that after each and other Scarlett Cole book! But there was something about Cabe. His lost had my heart breaking for him!

I can’t wait for more from Scarlett!!! Get this book today you will thank me!!!
