[Kat · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so excited every time I see Patricia Bates has a new novel out. I love her steamy romances with exciting suspense plotlines and COUNTER STRIKE did not disappoint! ❤🔥This was a great steamy military romantic suspense that starts off with a bang up in the Arctic Circle. When Alex Caden is kidnapped, Navy SEAL Slade Lake is sent in to rescue her. He soon discovers there is more to Alex than he previously believed—that she is part of an elite military unit—and someone is hunting her—and through her, he’s now a target, too. This was a quick, fast paced read with excellent action scenes and great chemistry between the two leads. The heat in the steamy scenes was intense, and Alex is a strong female character. The two of them constantly clash… and then quickly find ways to work off that heat in other more productive ways.🔥🔥 As we discover who is after Alex and their connection to her, she and Slade will have to work together to bring them down. I liked the banter between Slade’s military buddies and also thought the way the book concluded was just the right touch! Glad to see this is going to be a series!

Why would anyone go after a woman who spent her life helping others?
For Alex, her 'work' was best kept secret. Only someone knows her secrets and now they want her dead...
