Unit 9: A Steamy and Plot filled Military Romance.
BY AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR CASSANDRA DOON, COMES A STEAMY AND PLOT FILLED MILITARY ROMANCE THAT IS HARD TO PUT DOWN.
Get ready to be disciplined. Some soldiers are forged in fire. Others are born from the ashes of everything they've lost.
Elowen Valk has nothing left to lose. And that's exactly what makes her perfect for Unit 9. As the leader of an elite black ops team, she's learned to weaponize her emptiness, turning the void where her heart used to be into the cold precision that keeps her alive. Seven tours, countless kills, and zero attachments. That's how she survives in a world where caring gets you killed.
But her new second-in-command threatens to shatter every rule she's built her life around.
Ravyn Drayce is six feet five inches of pure, lethal temptation wrapped in tactical gear and bad attitude. He's the kind of man who commands respect through presence alone, who fights like he ....., brutal, intense, and completely without mercy. The problem? He doesn't take orders well. Especially not from the steel-eyed beauty who makes his blood run hot and his control slip.
When Unit 9 is tasked with their most dangerous mission yet. One that cannot fail. Elowen and Ravyn must navigate the razor's edge between professional duty and desire. In a world where trust is earned in blood and betrayal means death, they'll discover that the most dangerous enemy might be the fire burning between them.
Because in the shadows where Unit 9 operates, falling for your teammate isn't just against the rules. It's a death sentence.
A steamy military romance featuring slight enemies-to-lovers dynamics, alpha soldiers who know exactly when to bark orders and when to soften their tone, and the kind of off-duty activities that will leave you breathless. Perfect for readers who love their heroes in uniform and their heroines unbreakable.

Great Military Romance
This had me hooked from the beginning! It had the perfect amount of spice, action, storyline that made sure you were on the edge of your seat holding your breath to read what happens next. Perfect found family and badass characters that will make you swoon. The twists throughout the story were so good that it didn't see it coming! The ending wrapped everything up nicely too!

I really enjoyed this read. There are twists and turns that take you by surprise. While it is a romance, the romantic plot isn’t the main focus by any means. The action really takes center stage. I do feel like some places may have been a bit repetitive, but not to the point of distracting from the storyline. I have read several books from this author now, and I can safely say this has been my favorite so far!

I love military romance and sign me up for forbidden love as well! This book takes you on so many twists and turns you won't be able to put it down. I read this in less than 24 hour and enjoyed every second. Highly recommend if you want a fun read with plenty of drama along the way.
