all the delta book series are great
love the characters and the alpha men
the women are tuff too
Have you ever started reading a book and immediately fall in love with the characters? That’s what happened for me with this book.
Slade is not only Delta Force he is also a rancher. Gorgeous and intense he still remembers the woman he had a one-night stand with five years ago. He couldn’t find her afterward since she had been a guest of a guest at the party where they met. It didn’t help that he didn’t have her real name either.
Kari has had to stealthily relocate because of a stalker. Now living in San Antonio she finds her thoughts often wander to the man she met at a gathering in Chicago. She spent the hottest night of her life with him and she finds herself comparing other men to him.
On a ten day leave between assignments, Slade and his team retreat to his ranch outside San Antonio. The peaceful atmosphere is cathartic and brings a sense of normal back to these hard fighting heroes.
Attending a small get together thrown by a JAG officer and his wife, these men each find someone of interest before the night is over.
Most surprising to them is that Slade, found someone and left the party within fifteen minutes. They of course didn’t know the connection between him and Kari.
Desiree turns up the heat immediately and doesn’t disappoint. Between the attraction and Slade’s ‘Spidey’ sense you know the excitement and tension is just going to build.
We get to know Slade’s team as well, as they meet possible love interests. One who caught my attention is Marc who has his own unique issues, although Beau is definitely a character.
I really enjoyed this new version and I can’t wait for the next one to be re-released!
Kari and Slade had a rather frenetic and fulfilling one night stand a few years ago. A lot has happened since then but neither of them has really got rid of the feeling that there was something more that could have happened between them if they had just let it.
Kari has now moved to Texas in order to escape from a rather odious stalker. But on a rare night out she meets up with Slade yet again. They have another wild night but Slade is determined that this time he won’t let her slip through his fingers. But as a Prosecutor Kari is used to getting her own way. When Slade learns that she has a stalker he and the rest of the Strike Force make it a personal mission to protect Kari.
Kari is used to being in control of her life and the stalker is throwing her off balance. But she feels so safe with Slade that she is willing to give up her happiness and satisfaction into his very expert hands. Slade and the boys like a bit of BDSM but not all of it so it’s kind of BDSM light! Kari is more stubborn than is good for her but other than that I liked the fact that she was smart and independent and not some wimpy, weepy female!
Looking forward to reading the other team members stories!
Excellent read by Desiree Holt! Unconditional Surrender is Book 1 in the Strike Force series and can be read as a standalone.
