Captain Evan Loehr is rarely a man who gets into trouble, but one encounter with Claire Montoya and he knows that she is trouble with a capital T. Evan takes his duties very seriously and will do anything to make sure that business is conducted in the most efficient way possible. When he notices that gutsy Claire is straying from protocol and doing things her way, Evan wants nothing more than to step in and demand she fall in line. Yet the redheaded beauty refuses to simply take orders from Evan. She has earned her own rank and doesn't let others push her around, which to Evan's obvious reluctance makes her more desirable in his eyes. In this forbidden dance around their emotions, Evan and Claire are forced to train a team for battle together. But will their team work lead to success or ultimate disaster?
I had some trouble getting into UNTIL THERE WAS YOU. I felt that it was missing some of the passion and emotional attachment that I was hoping for. As I read, I was going through the motions, but never actually felt the same emotions that Claire and Evan experienced. I enjoyed the sexual tension at first, but most of the book felt dry. While it does get better, overall, it lacked that warmness that I usually like to see in a romance. Instead of sizzling and soaring to great heights, the romance fell flat.
However, Jessica Scott has a wonderful voice and writes remarkably well. I loved the way she incorporated detailed facts about military life. Her knowledge shines through in her work and readers will come to respect and appreciate the accuracy of her words.
This might be my first Jessica Scott book and although it didn't particularly shine for me, I was still impressed by her writing style and will be looking forward to reading more from her.
