Delta Force Defenders #6
Sheltering Olivia
Heath Jacobs knew he wanted her the moment he saw her crossing the street and walking into the diner. She tells him no, but her eyes say eyes. Every day he visits the diner she works in, hoping to wear down her defenses. But what starts as a game quickly changes. Heath grows quite fond of her secret smiles she only shares with him or her witty humor. For the first time in Heath's life, he wants more than a casual fling. Oliva Sheppard is on the run. She doesn't have time for a casual fling, even if it is with a hot soldier that she knows could rock her world. A man was the reason she was on the run, she should avoid them at all costs. They were nothing but trouble. But Heath isn't willing to give up without a fight and tears at her defenses, threatening to melt the ice she keeps around her heart. Just as she feels she can trust him and let down her guard, danger finds her and tests their growing bond. Will Heath stay or will her troubled past be too much and send him packing?

I'm not sure if the wrong version of this book has been uploaded....
...or if it just needs proofing and editing.
Having read previous books by Jennifer Becker and really enjoyed them, I was disappointed with this one.
There are numerous mistakes, simple typo's like: brining instead of bringing, wash clothes instead of was cloths. Sentences that don't make sense 'The man at the door looked at her curious, before turning away' curiously? 'The man didn't look at her familiar, and Olivia didn't seem to know him' 'She hadn't planned on doing interviews today, but just going around. These were some of the only clothes she had left that were dirty and frayed' Should that be 'that weren't dirty and frayed'?
Continuity mistakes such as Ivy is introduced as being 13 but then for the rest of the book she is referred to as being 11, and the most baffling 'She had never given herself to a man so easily or quickly.....she had slept with Royce after the first date' - this paragraph had me totally confused even after reading it three times!
Then we have Olivia working for US Custom Border and Protection, but she has never heard of ATF or what they do? Really? I am pretty sure anyone working for one government agency knows all other government agencies, especially one as well know as ATF.
So whilst I was disappointed with this book it won't stop me trying other books by Jennifer Becker, as this is the first I have found with these issues. I really love the Delta Force Guardians series and gave book one 5 stars, I am hoping this is a one off anomaly or an incorrect file and future books will be of the same high quality I have enjoyed in previous books.

The plot is overused and completely predictable, and the conflict is mostly contrived by the woman choosing not to admit she has a kid. His dislike of kids was one-dimensional, and his ultimate about face on the issue was way too abrupt for how strongly he felt about it. The evil ex didn't show up until the very end of the book, and he was also flat and boring as a villain. This is not an interesting take on this story, there's nothing new to see here.
The book contains bad writing in more ways than one. The spelling, grammar and sentence structure are terrible, and the author doesn't even know the difference between "to" and "too" - they are misused constantly. There are typos on every page. It drove me crazy. I skimmed most of the book. Two stars is generous.

Wow horrible writing. This is one of those authors who frequently uses words incorrectly and gets idioms totally wrong. The characters are not particularly likeable, the plot and storyline are implausible and author’s grasp of English and storytelling leave a lot to be desired.
If you don’t mind any of that then go for it, but personally, this is the first and last book I’ll try by this ‘writer’.

This is the 2nd straight book I've read wherein the characters seem to have a bit of confusion as to what they truly believe in.
