Romance | Romance Suspense

BY BREAK OF DAY is book 7 in the fabulous Night Stalkers series by military romance genius M.L. Buchman. Buchman has become my go-to author for military romance, even beating Suzanne Brockmann in my opinion, given his technically accurate details and realistic settings. The Night Stalkers are a Special Operations Aviation Regiment , the very best of the best in helicopter aviation fliers, along with an embedded Delta colonel and competence porn-level support staff. If you're looking for exciting military action with off-the-charts action in the bedroom as well, the Night Stalkers series has you covered, hands down! Although a series, each book does stand alone and can be read in any order. We get cameos of many of my favorites characters from other Night Stalkers books, but the focus is strongly on Kara and Justin here.

Kara Moretti is a Captain who flies the Army's stealthiest remote piloted aircraft. An Italian-American from Brooklyn, she is a petite dynamo who is close to her family but doesn't let anyone else close to her heart. Justin "Cowboy" Roberts is a Captain flying a Chinook helicopter, trying to redeem himself from losing his first helo crew to a suicide bomber. Both Kara and Justin are very admirable characters who have good reasons to be wary of letting other into their hearts. Seeing them overcome these obstacles to reach romantic love is very satisfying.

I love Kara and I adore Justin, both for their honor and their sheer awesomeness. If stuck in a dangerous situation, these are two people I would love to have at my back (or actually in front of me!) and then go out to a bar after to hang out, with them because they are so fun. Kara and Justin's chemistry is great, and I love the way they ping off each other from minute one. The issues keeping them apart seem a tad flimsy and are fairly easily resolved. I do not feel they have to work very hard for their Happily Ever After. All of the other couples in the Night Stalkers brigade seem to be marking them as a forever sort of couple pretty quickly, which feels a bit presumptuous to me. But the rocketing military suspense keeps the book rolling forward smoothly, and I love reading all the details about the military hardware our good guys use in fighting enemies. A solid addition to Buchman's Night Stalkers canon, BY BREAK OF DAY is sure to please readers who prize realistic situations and taut military action in addition to romance.

SUMMARY

M. L. Buchman raises the stakes-and the heat-in the return of the acclaimed Night Stalkers series NAME: Kara Moretti RANK: Captain of the Army's stealthiest remote piloted aircraft (Don't call it a drone) MISSION: To be the eyes of the team NAME: Justin "The Cowboy" Roberts RANK: Captain of the Army's most powerful helicopter MISSION: To redeem the past, at any cost They Put Life, Limb, and Heart on the Line
Two new captains join The Night Stalkers with two different strategies in life, love, and combat. When Brooklyn-raised Kara joins the crew, she knows one thing as an absolute truth: to stay safe, keep everything and everyone at a distance. Born in Texas, Justin knows only one honorable way to make up for losing his first crew to a suicide bomber: he flies with all his heart. When Kara and Justin collide on a top secret mission deep in the Israeli desert, then the battle truly begins.
