TARGET ENGAGED is Book 1 in M.L. Buchman's new Delta
Force series. This series peripherally involves
characters from the fabulous Night Stalkers series,
so there's a nice tie-in, but no knowledge of the Night
Stalkers books is needed to thoroughly enjoy this
Delta Force tale. Buchman is the new standard by
which I base all military romance since discovering him
last year. I have devoured everything he has written since
I first stumbled upon his books. His detail about military
procedures and equipment is fascinating, and serves to make
the action so much more believable. I have a problem
willingly suspending my disbelief for many other authors'
romantic suspense novels, but Buchman nails it in his
books. Buchman brings to life the weaponry, helicopters,
and discipline that populate these Delta warriors' lives,
while keeping the action and the passionate romance at the
forefront.
Kyle Reeves meets Carla Anderson when they both are
chosen to undergo the selection testing for Delta Force,
the toughest military force on the planet. Kyle is a
marvelous hero who excels at every endeavor but doesn't let
that turn him into a jerk. Once Kyle and Carla are both
winnowed from the rest of those trying out (only a stellar
five make it out of the original 104 candidates), they
celebrate their achievement by starting a rip-roaring
sexual affair. Their sexual attraction is volatile and all
virtually all-consuming when they are not on a mission
together. Kyle seems almost too good to be true, but its
easy to be captivated with such a virile and competent
man.
Carla frustrates me a little because she is so closed
off and completely out of touch with her emotions. But as
the daughter of a drunk and abusive dad, and having had her
revered older brother and mom killed in combat when she was
young, her stoic behavior make sense. Also, as the first
woman ever to be admitted to Delta Force, one would expect
her to not be very outwardly feminine and also to be very
good at blocking emotions, or she would not have gotten so
far! While I don't like Carla per se, I definitely root to
pull her head out of her behind and commit to the fantastic
relationship growing with Kyle. I love the commitment and
drive that Carla shows in her quest to achieve a spot in
the Delta Force - she's definitely a kick-butt heroine of
the first order!
Buchman has catapulted his way to the top tier of my
favorite authors, and his latest release only reinforces
his high ratings in my opinion chart. TARGET ENGAGED has
everything I need to keep me enthralled. A sexy alpha male
who's an honest-to-God good guy, helping everyone around
him be their best, a kick-butt heroine engaged in some
heart-stopping adventures with the hero, and off-the-chart
steaminess in their explosive romance.
