Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Deep Cover is the third book in the Love over Duty series and even though I have not read any previous books in the series, I was able to follow the story and characters without a problem. Cabe and Amy are thrown together when they are assigned to an investigation centered around a missing person and possible human trafficking and money laundering. Cabe is an ex-Seal and founder of Eagle Security and Amy will forever be the FBI agent who ratted out her boss for sexual harassment. Cabe is also still grieving the death of his fiancé five years earlier. I liked the two of them together and I understand the need to prolong the development of the relationship and the trust issues they both have but it was a little too much. That being said, I did like them together and thought they were not the typical romance novel couple where the man is the hero and the woman needs saving. A good, entertaining read.

This is a very interesting story, and I recommend you read the books before this one in this series. I liked it but want to read the others first.

I was given this ARC to give a honest review

I would definitely read the previous books in this series so you understand all the tie ins to the previous books and the relationships between the characters. This book is about Cabe Moss, who is best friends and partners with the characters from the previous books. And Amy Murray, an FBI agent who is assigned to help Cabe with an undercover mission. Cabe is still trying to get over losing his fiance 2 years ago. On the one hand, he wants to move on and be happy, but on the other hand he feels guilty for leaving her behind. Amy is still trying to get over what happened in her previous office and is hoping to be treated with respect in her new office. They are both being sent in undercover but for different reasons. Cabe wants to catch his bad guy and Amy just wants to find the women that are going missing. Neither realize that they are after the same person. And neither realize just what they will mean to each other.

I really liked this book. Cabe is a man haunted by his past and he struggles with it daily. Even with knowing how much he wants what his friends have, it's still a hard thing to do when someone you loved so much is no longer there. Amy had such a hard time in her previous workplace that is makes her extremely cautious in her new office. Almost to the point that she could lose what could be the best thing that ever happened to her. And then when you throw them together on a mission and force them into close proximity? It just brings the story to life! It was great!

Cabe is amazing!!

I really enjoyed this book. Cabe and Amy are just brilliant characters. They are both dealing with a lot of heart ache. Cabe ex Navy SEAL has been working his backside off to get Eagle Security off the ground with his 2 best friends Six and Mac (Who are both smoking hot) Things have been pretty crazy for them all since starting the security services. Cabe has had it easy he lost is fiancée Jess while on a job. She was everything to him they had a fortune planned and everything. Life was great until she was taken away from him. Nearly 2 year since she died it's still hard for him to get over. But Six and Mac try there best to get his mind of it and his job is demanding so that also helps. There is also one people that has started to take his mind of Jess and that Amy the new Agent that they are working with on a case. Cabe really doesn't know how he feels about the feelings he's having for another woman. But when there connection is had strong as there's is it's hard to fight.

Amy is goin through her own crap after leaving her job over an incident and starting a new one. She was trying to keep her head down. She had finally gotten to be part of case that meant something to get and she wanted to put her all into it. That's until Cabe walked into the room. There first meeting hadn't been the best and the second wasn't turning out to well either. Men weren't meant to be on her mind after what she has been through. It not like she is off men or anything she has just had enough of the male in her line of work. The only thing is Cabe isn't the sort of man that you can get out of your head easily.

This story was so good. I like how all the books connect with each couple. Six and Mac's book were really good as well. The story had me hooked from the start I was dying to know how things were goin to work between Cabe and Amy but I was dying to know what was goin to happen in there case. It was like watching an investigation show with a sexy couple thrown in I was hooked. I m a huge fan of this author so there was no doubt that I was goin to enjoy this book. I knew she wouldn't let me down. I really liked Amy and Cabe characters they have been through some hard times. But together they were perfect. I luvd how understanding Amy was. I don't think there are many women out there that could be like the way she was. She put Cabe's feelings before her own. There is one thing that I like about this series, its that the woman are just has strong as the men. There characters are so strong and they can give any man a run for his money. I would highly recommend this book and series. It's just so good you wont be able to put it down once to start.

I liked this book. Cabe is hurting from losing the love of his life. She fit into his life perfectly and their future had been what they dreamed of. Amy is trying to leave the stigma of her last job behind as she moves to her new postition in the FBI. With her looks, most people don't take her seriously in her job. Beautiful women are meant to be ogled, not have a brain.

The two of them meet up and the sparks are instant. I liked that there was tension in their second meeting and that Cabe admitted to being a jerk. I also loved how protective he was. He knew she could take care of herself, but he still wanted to be there for her. Plenty of action, romance was hot, and I just really liked all the characters here.

4/5 for me. I'm going to look back into this author's backlist of books!

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

This is a new to me author. Even though this is not the first book in the series, I had no problem keeping up with the characters and the plot. The story was very unique and likeable. Amy and Cabe were a delight to get to know are a perfect fit.

Missing women, money laundering, and chemical weapons.

Not to mention a sexy special agent of the FBI who collides with an equally sexy ex-Navy SEAL.

Suspenseful, steamy and worth a read.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough suspenseful romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

I have never read a book by Scarlett Cole before but I was very intrigued by the description of this book so thought I would give it a try. I really did enjoy this book and would recommend it to other readers. She has a very good writing style and kept the reader entertained and hooked on the story throughout. There was a bit of jumping around at the beginning that was sometimes hard to follow and a lot of bad guy characters to keep track of.

Basic synopsis of the book is that Amy, an FBI agent, is going undercover at a casino to help find women who have been disappearing. Cabe, a former Navy Seal and independent contractor, is also working this assignment but in order to find out a money laundering scheme through the same casino. Both are put on a joint task force to work together to complete their cases. Sparks are present between the two however both have past hurts that make it impossible to be together while they are working. Amy left her old FBI post due to sexual harassment and Cabe lost his fiancé to an IED; both are not ready for a relationship but neither can deny their attraction.

Of course the assignment is never simple and things get out of hand. It is up to Amy and Cabe to protect each other and solve the cases.

This book has a great storyline and I would definitely recommend. Only thing I found difficult was sometimes following the links between the bad guys in the books.

This story wraps up all the unanswered questions from the first two stoires. Loved how this one ended. Cabe finally finds happiness. All letters of the alphabet (CIA, FBI, HLS, and of course Eagle Security) have a mission to complete through working together to solve money laundering, Gambling without a license, and human trafficking. Gabe meets Amy while at a bar celebrating Jess's birthday - and feeling guilty that he is still alive, while she is 6 ft under. They had planned their life out together before she was killed on what was to be her last mission. Gabe accidentally bumps into Amy while at the same bar... sparks fly for both - but Gabe feels like he is unprepared for attempting to get wrth / date Amy. They later find out that they are assigned to the same mission - but must keep their prior meeting a secret from the FBI - due to Amy's past. I don;t want to give anymore of the plot away... well worth reading on a hot day/night.

Deep Cover is the third book in the Love Over Duty series by Scarlett Cole and it was another brilliant read.

Ms Cole keeps you on the edge of your seat with these romantic suspense books. I loved reading the story of Agent Amy Murray of the FBI and ex-Navy Seal Cabe Moss. They are tasked with working together to uncover a money laundering and missing women case and form an unlikely alliance that quickly turns into more.

Cabe is dealing with the tragic death of his fiancée when Amy comes into his life. There's something about him that attracts him from the very beginning. Amy has just transferred FBI offices after being sexually harassed by officers in her former office. She doesn't want the stigma that may come with forming a relationship with a senior officer so she needs to keep her distance from Cabe.

I loved reading how the relationship developed between these two characters. The suspense portion of the case that they're working on kept me turning the pages.

Definitely love this series!

I think I am going to stop with this book in this series and just for your information this is the third and I feel that you would be lost if you do not read first 2. Now I think some of you will find this book entertaining but I find this book chaotic too much going on, and the writer was jumping from one persons thoughts to the next yeah too combobulated for me..And I also found my self dragging while reading..

Enjoyed Cabe and Amy's story. This author is extremely talented weaving characters pasat and present experiences in to the story without distracting from the suspense. The camraderie and the support that the founders of Eagle Security give to each other is heartwarming and genuine.

Scarlett Cole has been throwing out amazing reads left and right. Deep Cover had steam coming out the cover and I melted half way thru it! Loved this one and totally can't wait too see what is in store next!

2.5 stars for me. I preferred it from the previous one. The hero and heroin are more likable and understandable for me.
But somehow I didn’t really get into their adventure. Both the relation and the said suspense were so-so.

3.5 stars. One of the things I like best about Ms. Cole's stories is that she never goes in the typical direction with her plots. In this one, Cabe is still mourning the loss of his fiancé, Jess, who was killed several years prior. Thus, I figured the hiccup in the budding relationship between Cabe and Amy would be Cabe's reluctance to ever love again. And there are a couple of moments where he has those types of thoughts, but they are brief. He doesn't spend the whole book fighting his feelings, which I thought was a very refreshing take. This one did get a bit depressing for me, though, with Cabe's extensive memories of Jess; although it was touching at first, I started to skim those passages because they took me out of Cabe and Amy's story, which is what I wanted to focus on. Nonetheless, the story and the characters are realistic, and it is obvious that a lot of research went into the casino background of this one. The suspense aspect is interesting and brings the storyline that has been building since Book 1 to a tidy conclusion.


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for review.

Cabe is an ex Navy SEAL and a founding member of Eagle Security. He has worked his very cute butt off to get it off the ground with Six and Mac but he is ever overshadowed by the memory of his fiancée being killed whilst he was away on a mission. Jess was military like him and he just can't seem to shake her memory and what they lost.

Amy is an FBI agent who forever has the stigma of being the female agent who called time on her boss and his sexual misconduct. She doesn't think the stigma has followed her to her new posting but she can never rest on her laurels. She wants some fun before undertaking her new case and has a close call with a hunky stranger but he disappears as fast as he appeared! But now he pops up again...as one of the security specialists she has to work with. Putting aside her hurt feelings she has to deal with Cabe.

Cabe is superbly written as the sensitive soul mixed with Alpha bad-ass! He truly loved and mourned Jess and feels conflict over his emotions when Amy is involved. He feels like he is cheating on Jess, even when he knows that she is gone and would want him to be happy. Amy is trying to be super professional, not wanting anyone to come at her as being the girl who climbed the ladder by sleeping her way to the top.

I love that whilst the male characters may be physically strong, their female counterparts are equally as strong in other areas, whether in intellect or emotionally. I loved how everyone got sucked into the madness of Six wedding! Amy's family and friends from the world of gambling were just as fun and I enjoyed learning so much about the workings of a casino! What happens now?!?!?

Honestly, I was a bit torn when it came to rating this book.
On the one hand it is as amazing as every other book in this series. On the other hand, even though I really loved Cabe and Amy, their personal problems that threaten to keep them apart, felt a bit like a broken record.

Both of them are hung up in their past and their personal tragedies and feel threatened by their buddening romance despite the fact that both of them feel and acknowledge that they have something special there and want to make it happen. Nevertheless, they can't resist temptation and even risk their assignment because they can't stay apart.
This assignment, meaning the investigation dealing with missing women and potential human trafficking and money laundering, is important to both of them but they still risk Amy's and also Cabe's personal safety.

Okay, right, this is the "Love over Duty" series which means, well, that love rules, right? Well, common sense should also rule, I think. I loved the other books in this series as well, and, I must admit that I loved those even more. Somehow "Deep Cover" feels a bit rushed. The other two books felt a bit more intense and more straight. Nontheless, I also loved "Deep Cover", even when I was rolling my eyes at another woe-me-moment of our heroine or our hero because they are amazing characters and their chemistry is simply great. You get them, you feel why they belong together. Apart from their romance there is also this whole other part of the story, the investigation that captivated me right from the start.

Despite the points that I mentioned, I loved to read the book and would recommend it.

This is the third in the Love Over Duty series - and it certainly picks up where the last book left off... Cabe is our hero this time around, and we have obviously met him in the previous books. He is definitely forced to eat his words - and the company no fraternisation rule - when he has to work with FBI agent Amy!

There is some push and shove, some woe is me, some I still love my fiancée who died, some I have to protect her even though she is perfectly able to do it herself-ness (sorry that last one was a bit long) - but this was an entertaining yarn and a perfect addition to the series!

2.5*

I didn’t read UNDER FIRE, Love Over Duty book #1, and had a hard time with FINAL SIEGE (book #2)--particularly with the protagonists--so I decided to give Scarlett Cole a final go with book #3, DEEP COVER. While I certainly enjoyed it much more than the previous book and found Cabe and Amy a much more engaging couple than Mac and Delaney, I can’t say the book blew me away. It’s a run-of-the-mill RS-lite novel that will entertain you for a few hours and you’ll then promptly forget after until something/someone reminds you of the Love Over Duty universe. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you’re looking for an RS masterpiece, look elsewhere. Not sure there is much else to do in Love Over Duty since the 3 protagonists’ stories have been told, but I’d probably pass on a next instalment regardless.
