Review:
Book one in the Elite Force series
was a brilliant beginning to what I imagine will be an awesome series, full of
sexy men and adventuresome women. Though I understand this isn't the first
series by Catherine Mann, it is the first novel I've read by her. Cover Me was
a great introduction to a new series and a division of the military even I wasn't familiar with. I loved the
setting of the story as well, getting to be in the ice-filled mountains of
Alaska as the hero and heroine work together to overcome the elements as well
as the dangerous men plotting to kill them.
Wade is a sweetheart, a true hero, working as a Pararescueman
determined to never fail on a mission, since his own mother was hurt in an
explosion trying to save others. Even though he’s never been in to deep or
profound relationships in the past, instead having fun and enjoying the
opposite sex with no strings attached. But the minute he meets kick ass Sunny, he’s faced with the choice of embracing a chance at a real relationship. Even though Sunny is obviously hiding some
major secrets from him, Wade is unwilling to turn his back on her.
Sunny is caught in between the two sides of her heart,
between protecting her family and friends and embracing the new adventures of
the heart she could find with Wade. The chemistry between Wade and Sunny is off
the charts, but she is determined to resist the pull between them, until
finally, far away from her home, she decides it’s time to give in to their
desires and be with him.
But when their stalkers find them, Sunny and Wade
must work together against all odds to get back to her community and find the
dangers hidden within the small town. As the plot thickens and the terrorists’
attack comes to light, Wade and his military team work to thwart the attack and
Sunny demands to be included, even though she’ll be put right into the middle
of the battle. Wade is reluctant to
allow Sunny to join them, but finally concedes to her demands in fear she’ll
just work on her own and put herself in danger.
But Sunny always finds trouble no matter where she is.
I loved Wade and Sunny’s story and was thrilled I was
able to give the series a chance. I’m
looking forward to the next book and hoping the setting of it is just as
great. Ms. Mann’s writing style is vivid
and the setting and action leap off the pages into your mind like seeing the
sights for yourself. Wade and Sunny were
both interesting characters, Wade with
his fears and Sunny with her insecurities, and when they finally find their
footing you know that their relationship will last lifetimes. I may even have to research where I can find
one of those sexy PJs for myself.
