She’s putting herself in harm’s way to make a difference. Having grown up in a household of elite, overprotective male Marines, Charlie Colebrook is savoring her hard won independence and avoiding a serious relationship that could tie her down. As a computer forensics expert for the DEA she might be a civilian rather than an agent, but she’s far from helpless, and she’s hungry to prove herself. … and she’s hungry to prove herself. So when her boss asks her to take on a dangerous undercover assignment that could expose the key money launderer for the biggest, and most lethal drug cartel in the Western hemisphere, Charlie seizes her chance. There’s just one catch: the man assigned as her partner is the only man she wants…and he won’t settle for less than everything she has to give.
Now he’s the only one who stands between her and a ruthless cartel.
DEA Special Agent Jamie Rodriguez has tried like hell to ignore the explosive chemistry he has with Charlie. Not simply because she’s his best friend’s sister—but because with her, he wants all or nothing. As a member of the agency’s elite FAST Bravo unit, he’s got the skill and experience to keep her safe. Now that he’s assigned to protect her on this op, he’ll do it at all costs, even if she tempts him as no other woman ever has. But the final op tests them both to the breaking point, and when things go to hell, it will take everything they’ve got to survive the deadly trap set for them.

I have read other books from Ms Cross and loved them all. This book is no different. Good storyline, lots of action, good characters, humour, romance, suspense all mixed together.
Great book
This is the first of are series and a first book from a new author for me.
In this book you meet a DEA worker, Charlie who is the only daughter of a Marine, and only sister to three brothers who all are service men that work and serve our country. Charlie learned to fight and take care of her self from her father and brothers but can handle her job.
Then you meet Jamie a friend and buddy of Charlies brother Easton who are team members of FAST a military strike force.
In this book you have drug lords, drugs, money laundering etc .Put Jamie and Charlie on a case to steal info and you’re on a fast ride to capture, torture, and killing but you also get a love in the making.
I really enjoyed reading this book and how Kaelea brought Charlie, Jamie and the other characters to life that I couldn’t help but fall fast in loving these characters and wanting to read more. On to the next book of Kaelea Cross

An action pack ride!
This is a first time author for me and I have to admit that I loved this story. Full of action, suspense, subterfuge, betrayal and most importantly love! This is Jamie and Charlie story and it grabbed me from the beginning. I loved that the heroine could hold her own and that Jamie was the right mix of alpha and tenderness. He knew that Charlie was it for him and he did not fight it nor keep it a secret from her. Actually in this story, Charlie, our heroine, was the one hung up on feelings and not wanting to be in a committed relationship. Lol. Great start of a series for me and I am on my way to book 2.
Puh, what startet out a little annoying and awkward with Jamie being overly obsessed with and possessive towards Charlie turned out really good – what with all the DEA-work and mission going not exactly as planned. So quite suspensful the further you get in the story.
Fast paced, original story.
After growing up with a family of overprotective Marines, Charlie is happy to have a civilian desk job. But when her job as a computer forensics expert for the DEA makes her a good person for an undercover assignment, she’s glad for the opportunity to prove she can do more. The assignment is to expose a huge drug cartel through their money launderer. Charlie’s computer skills and looks make her the kind of person this man wants, so she is perfect for this job. The downside to the assignment is her partner, Jamie. He is her brother’s best friend and the one man she wants. But he’s an all or nothing kind of guy and she’s not ready for that commitment. But now they have to work together and she has to trust him completely. She can do that, as far as trusting his skills are concerned, but can she trust herself to not fall for him even more?
Even though this book had a slow start, I really liked the story and characters. I loved that Jamie was so highly skilled. It was easy to believe he could handle any situation. Which he did more than once. I was impressed with Charlie. The fact that she was a strong, capable woman became obvious as the undercover assignment progressed.
This promises to be a good series so don’t miss it. Especially if you like military romantic suspense.
Love her books!
Me. Cross never leaves you hanging, her books catch you from beginning to end.
Not suspenseful
Enjoyed the action in this book. The characters just didn’t seem to go together in my mind. The leading lady seemed to young and immature for the leading man. Enjoyed side characters of the book and storyline.
Loyalty, love, family connections, action and suspense. Good reading !!!!!!
Loved how the main character is very smart and can kick butt.
It was a quick interesting as well as entertaining read.
Liked the action but over the soft porn
Got me right in the beginning and had me wanting to read it to the end in one sitting.
Loved it
Great plot.
