The Line of Duty was fast-paced action from the first page to the last.
Shea Ramsey has found her way out of a dark cloud that she thought would never let her go. She’s leaving Alaska to go to New York to fight for her son. She doesn’t expect to be sharing the plane with Vincent, someone she’s worked with over the last year, and secretly credits for helping her find her way back to life.
Vincent finally has a clue to the crime he’s been trying to solve for a year. To be sure, he has to return to New York where the crime happened. When he climbed on the plane in Alaska, he wasn’t expecting the only other passenger to be Shea Ramsey. He’s had a secret crush on her for the last year while they’ve worked together on cases in Anchorage. He’s part of a team that has no boundaries. She’s part of a team that does. None of that matters when the plane crashes. Left alone in the wilderness of Alaska to survive, Shea and Vincent have to work together to find their way back to civilization and safety. They just weren’t expecting the team of hitmen sent out to make sure the crash took their lives.
Fair warning, I love Nichole’s books, but you do have to suspend a serious amount of reality with this one when it comes to the massive amount of damage these two people sustain to their bodies and remain alive.
The Line of Duty was well-written, fast-paced, and a page-turner, even if you figure out who the ringleader is of the people after Vincent and Shea. Learning what the endgame is and how Vincent got caught up in it is the reveal you’re waiting for at the end. Nichole always keeps her stories tight, but this one had enough romance in it to keep you engaged in the characters and make you root for the couple to find happiness as much as you root for them to survive the torture she inflicts on them. This is book six in the series and I had no problem following it without having read the previous five. If you love fast action and a hero who will do anything to protect the woman he loves, you’ll want to read The Line of Duty.
