For Captain Nikolai Romanov, nothing is more important than
his career in the Russian Army and he will do whatever it
takes to remove the stain against his name. When he is
asked to spy on a CIA agent about to board his submarine,
Nikolai intends to use whatever means is necessary to find
out this agents agenda and put a stop to it. He did not
count on being attracted to her.
Julie Severin is an
analyst for the CIA but, because of her familiarity with the
Chinese culture, she's ordered to go undercover as a
journalist. Julie would have been glad to help out it if
had not included Russians and a body of water. She hates
the Russians because they killed her father and she is
deathly afraid of the sea. Before long Nikolai helps her
get over her fear of the water along with her hatred for
everything Russian. As they fight their attraction to one
another and go about obeying orders, they discover that
someone else is trying to stop Julie from finding the SD
card she was sent to get. Nikolai's men spot a Chinese
submarine hovering near by about the same time that his sub is
sabotaged and Julie is almost killed. Banding together is
the only way to save themselves and everyone else but trust
is lacking on Julie's part and Nikolai must decide if he
wants the woman he has fallen in love with or the captaincy
he has fought so hard to keep.
A great cast of characters
and the heated sexual tension between the hero and heroine
keeps this romantic suspense story moving. Although I
learned more about submarines than I wanted to, RED HEAT
was a good book with a perfect blend of romance and
suspense.
CIA analyst Julie Severin poses as a reporter aboard a
Russian submarine-only to be unexpectedly reunited with
Captain Nikolai Romanov, with whom she had a sizzling
encounter just the night before.
