I really enjoyed this book. I did not read the first two but will definitely go back and read now that I have met the characters in this book. I felt like the author definitely gave enough info to be able to read this as a standalone. This is Cabe's story. Cabe Moss is a former Navy Seal, if you can ever truly be a former Seal. He and his Seal brothers/friends Six and Mac now run Eagle Securities with him.
They take on a job involving missing women from a Vegas casino and form a task force that includes the FBI. It is there where Cabe meets Amy Murray (well sort of), who is an FBI agent who desperately wants to solve this case because of her past. Cabe is having a hard time letting go of the memory of his deceased fiance but he is drawn to Amy. Amy does undercover in the casino and there are some pretty intense moments. Cabe will not let anything happen to her.
Good story, characters, suspense, and hot sexy romance definitely make me want to read more from this new to me author.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this book.

I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This felt like a second draft. The plot was solid for what it was but it could use more development. There were SPAG errors that I noticed and ignored at first, until there got to be too many of them. That took me out of it a bit. There are some formatting issues that made keeping track of the switches in point-of-view difficult.

My biggest complaint is the characters. Amy seems all badass/independent woman at first but that quickly dissolves into almost nothing after she meets Cabe. She's wishywashy and whiny at times and doesn't earn my respect for the moments when she acts otherwise. The relationship between Cabe and Amy felt like it was trying for a build-up of tension and depth but ended up falling flat.

From a technical perspective, I wish Ms. Cole trusted her audience's intelligence a bit more. I don't need jokes spelled out for me - it was a bit insulting - because she did a great job setting it up. I got it. But then she explained it and I stopped caring. There was a repetition of information in this story that I found unnecessary.

Everything was fine. Nothing about this story was outstanding for me. It blends in really well with others in this genre. As it stands, I wouldn't recommend it. There are better stories out there.

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first Scarlett Cole book and it will for sure NOT be the last. In fact with this being the third in a series, I am now planning to go back to read the first two. The books are obviously able to be read as stand alones, but different characters and touches on each ones’ story comes up in this book, so I am excited to read the stories of the other two couples.

Both male and female characters are strong, successful people, who have baggage, of course, don’t we all??? Their careers make it difficult for them to be together, so although the draw is there the agreement to not act on it is eventually overridden by both parties. There is a slow burn, to great love scenes. Add in some suspense and danger for a great book. Not too short or too long. Really glad that I found this series and author!

Scarlett Cole is a brilliant writer. She won me over on her first book and I will continue to read her books. This series is sexy and suspenful. A must read!

I received an arc from Netgalley. Amy and Cabe meet and right off the bat start off on a misunderstanding. Soon after they meet through their work in an undercover operation.

Instant attraction between the two is inevitable and though Cabe has memories of his fiancé and guilt from starting to love again these two work it out.

I enjoyed, Deep Cover. The way that Amy could take care of herself, but also knew when Cabe needed to take care of her to keep him satisfied.

Deep Cover took the suspense to the next level! Cole managed to write such amazing main characters I was unable to put the book down until I was finished. Well written, with the overall plot of the series moving forward, I was a happy reader indeed.

This book is about an undercover operation to discover where some women who worked in a casino have disappeared. I enjoyed reading it because it was filled with twists and turns. A very good book!

Deep Cover is the third book in The Love Over Duty Series and is an interconnected stand-alone novel. Deep Cover follows the story of Cabe and Amy. Cabe is the guy you can always count on when you need him. When called to duty, he'll never let you down. When his fiancee passed away, it nearly destroyed him. He will face his biggest challenge to date when he gets paired up with FBI Agent Amy Murry. Even though Cabe may appear to be the strong, silent type, there is more to him than meets the eye. The stakes are high and sparks are flying all over the place. Will Amy be able to resist Cabe? Will they be able to keep things professional and solve the case?? There's only one way to find out.....

Deep Cover is my first book by this author and overall I thought it was an ok read. I was really intrigued by the story-line and the characters. I wanted to know more, though I will admit, the first part of the story did move at a slower pace than I would like. Since the story is not told from the first person point of view, I will admit that I was distracted. With so many characters and the different pov type, I found it hard to concentrate on the story. 2nd & 3rd Person POV is something that I personally struggle with, but do try my best to overcome. 

Anyways, I liked Amy and Cabe together. Amy was smart and witty. She challenged Cabe and made him want to have a life again. And Cabe was an alpha male with the biggest heart, even when he seemed closed off and wanting to keep things professional. Together, I thought these two meshed well and was looking forward to seeing how their story was going to play out.

Deep Cover is one of those stories that I think will be a hit for some and a miss for others. For me, I thought it was an ok read. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. There was a few issues with the story that made it a little hard for me, but in the end, I'm glad I didn't give up on Amy and Cabe's story. I loved the danger and suspense that Deep Cover had to offer and appreciated the light drama associated with Amy and Cabe's romance. 

As I stated before, this is my first read by this author, and while it wasn't a 100% hit for me, I'd still opening to checking out more from her in the future.

I'd like to that the publisher & Netgally for giving me the opportunity to read for an honest review. Although I have not read books 1 & 2 of that series this book was slow start for me to jump into, but I enjoyed Cabe and Amy's romance story. I thought the characters were really a good match for each other. They worked well and were not afraid of saying what they thought. Now I will be going back to read the other books in the series and also more of this authors books.

Deep Cover is the third book in the Love over Duty series. It was my first Scarlett Cole book and it won’t be my last! I really enjoyed it. I was able to easily follow the book even though I had not read the previous two books in the series. I’m definitely curious enough to go back and read the first two books now to better understand the backstory of some of the secondary characters.

Cabe Moss, an ex-Navy SEAL, now works for an independent security firm. He’s assigned to investigate a money laundering scheme taking place in a Vegas casino. Amy Murray is an FBI agent investigating the same casino trying to determine what happened to a number of missing women. They are thrown together as they both try and unravel what is happening behind the scenes at the casino.

Cabe is haunted by the death of his fiancée who was killed in action in the middle east. He’s got a big heart and a protective streak but is reluctant to acknowledge his feelings. Amy is battling her own demons. The disappearance of her mother years ago has driven Amy to the FBI where she tries to reunite families with their missing loved ones. She’s also smarting from having to deal with sexual harassment in the FBI and she’s not at all interested in getting involved with someone she works with.

This book had a little bit of an Oceans Eleven vibe for me. It is a fast moving thriller taking place in the secret VIP rooms of a Vegas casino. There is great chemistry between the hero and heroine and a wonderful cast of secondary characters. It was one of those books that I couldn’t put down and stayed up way too late on a work night to finish.

Very good plot. Apparently this is at least the third book in a series but that did not make a difference. The book was a fine stand-alone. It had the right mixture of mystery, thriller and love. I would definitely read other books in this series.

This book had all the pieces that usually attract my interest. A feisty heroine, protective hero, a good plot, and a strong secondary cast for backup. But, it didn’t work. My hiccup was with Amy and Cabe. They had all the right maneuvers, but they’re connection never clicked for me. They were almost too picture perfect, with very minimal drama. Considering their pasts, I think I was expecting something to appen yet it never did. Truly, I felt Cabe and his best pals had more chemistry than he and Amy.

I haven’t read the first two books in the series and with a brief summary, I had no problems following the storyline. I am curious about Six and Lou’s story and it’s all due to the funny wedding shenanigans the guys were dealing with in between casino tables and shady trafficking deals.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

ARC for an honest review....
Was a great mix of romance and suspenseful thriller.....fast paced and engaging.....make sure you read the books in order.....lots of characters to keep track of., but the series is worth it.

Amy and Cabe are enjoyable characters and I liked their honesty with each other and them doing things together and getting pleasure just from being near each other.
Cabe’s grief is poignant to read and doesn’t that sense of vulnerability make this strong man even more attractive…
I was not that curious about the sex trafficking and money laundering themes, or the casino world, yet it was interesting to have a different context.
And I was kind of expecting some closure on Amy’s mother case. Perhaps next time...

**I received a copy of Deep Cover from Net Galley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for a voluntary and honest review**

Deep Cover by Scarlett Cole is the third book in her Love Over Duty series. While it's not my favorite one it still has moments where you can't wait to see what will happen next. I'd give it a 4.2 stars total and you'll love Amy and Cabe trying to skirt their way around the non-fraternization rule.

Amy has just arrived in San Diego after a FBI transfer from her Atlanta office. She's paired with Cabe Moss a former Navy SEAL and now part owner in Eagle Securities on a case with missing young women who worked in a casino. Amy's family goes way back and is well known on the Poker series with her grandfather and father so she's automatically comfortable going under Deep Cover as a table dealer at the Casino. But her focus is the missing girls as her mother disappeared when she was a child. But when things go south and a key Russian gambler kidnaps her will Cabe and his friends be able to rescue her before it's too late?

Cabe Moss and his Eagle Securities teammates have agreed to work tandem with FBI, CIA to take down a big player in both human trafficking and money laundering. But with him still morning his fiancee death while deployed can he resist Amy when their attraction practically starts a fire? Since they both know that fraternization is frowned upon will they be able to resist each other and still find the missing girls? Can Cabe, Six and their team mates protect when plans change and Amy is kidnapped during a private party?

If you've read the Under Fire, Six and Dr. Louisa North will play a part in the climatic ending and of course their wedding will put the icing on the cake.

Ah, crap.

I don't get how women think it's the woman's fault. I can understand if you're flirty or dressing sexy, but not when you're just working and minding your own business.

What happened to her that made her decide to work for the FBI?

I have a photographic memory too, though not as good as hers.

You can get tuna on a pizza? Why?!

How on Earth do you shuffle with one hand?

Hey, no fair, Cabe. Your mom made the cakes!

She must have been pretty young, because both Frank and Dran have dead for twenty years.

And that's why I can't play cards.

Her cousin sounds like a twit.

It's funny when the bad guys are wimps when push comes to shove.

I thoroughly enjoyed Scarlett Cole’s Deep Cover. Cabe and Amy were multi-layered characters that seemed wonderfully authentic and enjoyable. The back story to their romance seemed well thought out, researched and played out evenly over the course of the book. I always enjoy romance that focuses on two well developed characters naturally falling in love because circumstances bring them together. While this is the third in the series, I felt like it could stand alone by providing enough details to give the reader a brief background from the first two books while not being long-winded. I definitely recommend this book and will be reading the first two books in the series!

Amy is a beautiful, badass FBI agent, and Cabe is a hot, sexy ex-military man who helps run Eagle Securities.
When Cabe hits on Amy at a bar, and then disappears, she is disappointed and thinks that is the last she will see of him...Fate doesn't feel the same way, as they end up working on a joint undercover case, trying to solve a missing women and money laundering case. Cabe is trying to recover from the death of his fiancee, a military woman who was KIA. Amy is still trying to figure out her purpose by trying to further her career in the FBI. Can things work between them, or should they keep it strictly professional?

This is the third book in the series by Scarlett Cole. I really enjoyed this and would recommend it!

I received an ARC copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley for my honest review. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a stand-alone. I really enjoyed the story of Amy and Cabe. Both have struggled due to past relationships ( her mother disappeared when she was a child and his fiancée died) but were able to create a strong relationship between the two of them. The mutual attraction was initially what started it but their respect for each other professionally and personally was nice. Amy is a strong, smart, attractive FBI agent able to use her card skills during a casino case with missing girls . Cabe is the alpha ex-seal consultant helping her case. I enjoyed Amy’s wit and the fact that Cabe didn’t take over her case but supported her. Even the ending still shows his support as neither have to give up their goals. The romance is steamy and the action/ suspense was great. My only complaints are the amount of gambling details in the beginning which were a little overwhelming and the fact that there was no separation in the story line ( one second we’re all about Amy and the next sentence is Cabe talking even if it happened hours later). Maybe some extra space between the paragraphs or a stylized icon (paragraph icon) would be nice. Overall a good read- 4.5 stars and I would recommend for others to buy this book.
