Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Book Depository
Description:
She’s the last woman he ever wanted to see again…
After an official operation turned deadly, Jonas Crow began a new life in Grizzly Harbor with Alaska Force. But when fellow soldier Bethan Wilcox joins the group, she forces him to remember things he actively prefers to forget. That’s unforgivable enough. But now the two of them are forced together on a mission to uncover deadly secrets tied to their complicated past, and with the heat between them at a boil, forgiveness is the least of his worries…
And the only woman he needs.
Bethan Wilcox, one of the first women to make it through Army Ranger school, didn’t join Alaska Force to deal with Jonas’s foul temper. Or her own errant attraction to him. Thrown together in a race against the clock, they have to pretend to be a couple and play nice to throw the enemy off their scent. She knows better than to let their pretend love feel real…especially while time is running out.
Jonas has always been good at saving the world. But it’s Bethan he needs to save this time around—if she doesn’t save him first.
Review:
Special Ops Seduction by Megan Crane is the 5th book in her wonderful Alaska Force series. I have read every book in this series, and each book has been equally good, with wonderful couples. In Special Ops Seduction, we meet our heroine, Bethan, as she is part of the Alaska Force team sent on a mission to rescue a scientist and his sister.
Bethan Wilcox is a former Delta Force soldier, and the first woman to complete Army Ranger training. Years ago, Bethan saved a soldier’s life, on one of the Delta Force missions. After she finished her Army Ranger training, she applied and was accepted to become part of the elite Alaska Force Ops team; as Bethan was tough, and equally as good as her fellow male teammates. Her only problem was that Jonas, one of the three original men who started Alaska Force, treats her with distain.
Jonas Crow, our hero, is a loner, and even his teammates wonder why he is so cold and ungiving to Bethan. We do learn later, that Jonas was the man Bethan saved in Afghanistan, and he does not like that she is the only one who knows about her saving his life, which he can’t cope with; even though Bethan keeps that secret from his past. I will say early on I was not a fan of Jonas, as he was so nasty with her.
After the rescue of the scientist and his sister, they place them in a safe house, which in a short time, they are missing. Isaac pulls the team together to come up with a plan, and it turns out that many of the top generals will be in attendance at Bethan’s sister’s wedding. Her father is a General, who did not approve of her joining the army. She agrees to bring one of the team undercover as her boyfriend, and is shocked when Jonas offers to go undercover.
What follows is an exciting, intense, intriguing and suspenseful adventure, that had us holding our breaths, and a couple that we rooted hard for. Spending a week at her family home, with Jonas was a game changer. Jonas plays the part of her boyfriend, completely different than his normal silent self, and a slow built romance begins; and they became a great team. It was great to watch Jonas’ heart open up and slowly melt. At this point I started to like him and also feel sorry for his past; Bethan was the perfect woman for him. The secondary characters of this series are awesome, as we do get to see all of our previous heroes. There were a couple of surprises, especially when Bethan recognizes who the real culprit is.
Special Ops Seduction was very well written by Megan Crane. The last 1/3 of the books was very exciting and tense as both Jonas and Bethan were in dangerous life-threatening situations, as we raced to the climax. To say too much more would be spoilers, and ruin it for you. If you enjoy romance, suspense, action packed excitement, a great couple, then you need to read this series. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but to get to know all the wonderful characters, I suggest you start with the first book in this series.
