High Altitude
HIGH VELOCITY
Flying a Falcon Corporate Jet into dangerous conflict zones for a business mogul supplying weapons to arms dealers, First Officer Kate Harrison launches into a world where nothing is what it seems, and the one man she doesn’t trust might be the only one who can save her when the world spins out of control. And the weapon in his possession might very well be the most incendiary weapon of all. Once ignited, passion isn’t something she can escape….
FULL COMMITTMENT
Still tormented by a past he can’t change, Greg Bentley has been living the life of another man for so long that he’s almost forgotten who he was before. With a score to settle and a secret to keep, he’d sooner sell his soul to the devil than blow his cover. Working undercover for a newly-formed branch of the National Security Administration and Homeland Security, his identity and mission cannot be compromised, but keeping that secret might be a death sentence for the woman he would risk everything to save.
Locked in a desperate race against time to stop the sale of Tomahawk missiles fitted with nuclear warheads to insurgents in Afghanistan, Kate and Greg must learn to trust each other in a world where nothing is what it seems and love is the most dangerous illusion of all.

This book disappointed me. I actually didn't finish it. Here's why:
In the first 40% there's pretty much no flying whatsoever. I thought this was about a woman pilot? Mentioning she flew all this way and now wants a coffee is not a flying scene.
It's repetitive. It repeats the same thing over and over and over and over. Yea, like that, but every few kindle pages. About every fifth page it reminds us that Greg cannot reveal his true self to her and why. I've been reminded of this situation a ridiculous number of times already. Every second page the book reminds me he has sexy green eyes. Oh and he's out to seduce her. I am constantly reminded of that mission.
And it could use another round of content edits. She's already told him once that she doesn't sleep with colleagues, so why the slack jaw the second time? As if she's never said this before.
And I'd give it points for a kick-ass heroine except she can't make up her mind.
"But if I can make decisions about living my life in a way that makes waking up in the morning worthwhile, I'll choose it over this."
But then a few pages later:
"But even if they were doing business under the radar, it wasn't her concern. She was just here to fly an airplane and collect a paycheck. Nothing else mattered."
And a few pages later she's back to the first thought. Make up your mind, woman.
And there are way too many metaphors, speaking in near riddles, and skirting around each other/playing mind games between the hero and heroine.
It wasn't for me, though I did appreciate the Dubai setting. Very cool. Everyone else seems to love this one though, so don't be put off by little old me.

The start of the story spikes the adrenaline, makes your heart beat, and set off with a high speed into the story of espionage, terrorists, political games, and power struggles.
At times it was hard to tell, who were the good guys, where they truly good guys, and what were their motives and interest. So many lies, layers of lies, and deception. As Kate and Greg's passion and affection grow and intensify, what are his true motives? Why is he really after her with such vigor? With every turn and twist in the story, more questions arise, that keeps you turning pages, trying to find out, what really is the truth, where are the loyalties, and what are the rue motives of each action.
The pull between Greg and Kate is tangible, but is it really love and passion, or is it just a manipulation for the goal? The author lays such a web in the story, it pulls you in, and keeps the hold, until all comes to light. And even in the end, you are left with questions of the true motives.
The book has lots of military, political, and cultural details, scenery that is built well, and is enticing. Sometimes too many details, that are not directly part of the plot, can be tedious, and the reader looses the train of thought, if not interest.
Interesting story, that kept me guessing, even after the end

Carol Kelly has a wonderful way with words! I couldn't put the book down! Carol painted a beautiful scene for us in Dubai and gives us two driven and fierce characters with Kate and Greg. I can't wait for more from Carol!

High impact start, combined with some uncertainty over who the good guys really are. This book will keep you turning pages until the very end.
