⭐⭐⭐☆
Politics, action,
intrigue, high drama with lots of loving between the two MCs. A typical Ali
Vali book which is typically very, very readable.
Commander Berkley Levine and Captain Aidan Sullivan of the US Navy have pissed
off misgynistic bigots by their success and their high places in the pecking
order of the Navy. They become the last straw to tip ex-Vice President of the
country, Dick Chandler (taking swipes with the very name itself, there) into
going beserk enough to launch an all out offensive against USA. While Chandler
sets off a series of terrible events, Aidan and Berkley have been assigned a
mission to find and stop him.
The book is high
octane action, but had way, way, way too many characters. So many that we lost
track and just glossed over who is who trusting that anyone important will
stick. Vali does edge-of-the-seat action well, but her real gift is in writing
loving relationships. The dynamic between her MCs is loving, committed and the
chemistry simmers and bubbles. We totally love that.
This is
recommended for its fast paced action and even more for the lovely
relationship.
PS: We are
expecting another spin-off from this series starring the arch-villain’s equally
villainous daughter Rachel as the lead after having had a change of heart and
personality.
