FACING FIRE is part of the Bad Boys Undercover series. Even
though I have not read the previous books in this series I was
able to read this one as a standalone. This is a series about
a black ops team called Alliance that travels all over the
world eliminating threats. When one of the team's uncle is
tortured and murdered because of his ties to Alliance, the team
engages in an all out war to bring down the threat to their
team.
Josiah King, his team, and everyone they love are targets and
they work hard to unravel the plot that is tied to the threat
to their team. Unraveling the plot leads them to Sutton Dahl,
a private investigator. For several years, Sutton has been
working on a case that will lead her to person who murdered
her mother. When Josiah and his team burst into her apartment
in Paris demanding to know where she obtained all the
information on their team, it leads to an interesting
confrontation. While Josiah and Sutton banter with each other
there is an immediate threat on their lives when someone
begins shooting at them. Sutton has to decide whether she
wants to trust Josiah and his team. Of course, Josiah tells
her she really has no choice. They ensue into a harrowing
escape with some interesting dialogue between them.
FACING FIRE is a fast-paced story with a lot of action. There are
tough choices made when lives are threatened. Josiah has been
involved in so much violence, and when he has an opportunity at
love he feels he does not deserve it and pushes Sutton away.
Sometimes you need another perspective to see what you are
missing out on. I enjoyed FACING FIRE and seeing the
relationship this team has with one another. HelenKay Dimon
does a wonderful job showing the interaction between the team members.
When his uncle is brutally murdered, Josiah King knows that
business just got personal. His uncle's ties to the Alliance
can mean only one thing: Josiah and his black ops team are
targets, along with everyone they love. Primed for
vengeance, Josiah is determined to unravel the plot--until
long-legged redhead Sutton Dahl becomes a dangerous distraction.
Sutton is very good at uncovering other people's secrets—and
protecting her own. When Josiah bursts into her life she's
torn between pushing him away and asking for his help.
Mysterious, strong, and much too sexy, he's a puzzle she
longs to solve, and a temptation she can't ignore.
Thrown together in the face of Alliance's most lethal
threat, Josiah and Sutton become unlikely partners, fighting
for their lives even as the attraction between them flares
into real passion. Torn between his team and the woman who
means everything to him, Josiah will risk it all to save
Sutton, even if that decision is his last.
