CHRISTMAS UNDER FIRE by Michelle Karl is the third book in the Mountie Brotherhood series. It’s the story of Cally Broslin who is part of the royal family, be it way down the line, of Kingdom of Amaris. She is a young widow trying to find some peace during the holiday season away from her interfering family. She feels she’s found her escape by attending her friend Ellen’s wedding in northern British Columbia.
She didn’t expect her little adventure to land her in so much danger – attempted kidnapping, someone trying to kill her several times, being on the run, constantly being hunted down. Her hero and the one determined to keep her safe while getting to the bottom of it all is Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer Aaron Thrace. Since she is a visiting foreign dignitary, he had been assigned to see her from the Rocky North Regional Airport to her lodging in Fort Mason and then to see that her needs are met while she is there. Aaron is also the brother of the groom-to-be. He is hoping that this assignment will help him get the promotion he’s been working so hard for.
During all the danger, unknown assailants and the big question of why, Cally and Aaron find a mutual admiration and attraction. Cally is still mourning her husband who was killed in a car crash and isn’t sure her heart is ready to fall for someone else. Aaron feels it would be inappropriate to have feelings for someone he’s been assigned to protect. With spending so much time together and learning more about the other, they can’t help the direction their feelings are headed.
CHRISTMAS UNDER FIRE will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages while you try to figure out who is out to get Cally and why all the while wondering if Aaron can keep her safe. You will feel the heart beats from the chemistry between them and wondering if they can find a way to acknowledge and give in to their feelings. Can they find their Merry Christmas?
CHRISTMAS UNDER FIRE can definitely be read as a standalone. However, after reading about one Karl brother, you will be wanting to read the stories of the other two brothers in the series. I recommend this book to anyone that loves suspense, mystery and romance all in a clean format that’s exciting to read. There are enough unknowns and twists and turns to keep you guessing right up to the very end and even then you may be like me and had it wrong.
