UNDER PRESSURE is the first thrilling installment in Lori
Foster's new
romantic suspense series. Featuring an elite security
agency, don't be
surprised to find an abundance of hot, highly-trained heroes
who just might
fall in love.
The first is Leese Phelps who is one of those men who takes
their job very
seriously. When tasked to watch over Catalina Nicholson,
Leese won't allow
his attraction to her make him lose focus. But it becomes a
losing battle
when Catalina constantly brings up the sexual tension
between them and
then it becomes a problem when he can't stop thinking about it.
I enjoyed Leese's character a lot. He's quite the typical
alpha male. I love his
loyalty and his determination. It's sexy and I admire
characters like that a lot.
He's definitely the strong and silent type that you see in
a lot of books.
Catalina was fun too. However, there were some moments when
I thought
"Really?" as she does a few things. It wasn't anything
major that made me
hate her, but since it was all in an effort to further the
romance, I could let it
go.
I like the way Foster was able to blend together the romance
and the
suspense plot. The romance still to me was the best thing
about this book.
The bad guys weren't ones that I completely hated but I
could understand
why they wanted her out of their hands. There are some good
twists here
and there and enough details there to make me excited about
the next book
in the series. While UNDER PRESSURE is technically a
spin-off from the
Foster's Ultimate series,
I definitely think you can read this without having
read that series. It works perfect as a standalone.
He can protect anything except his heart
Leese Phelps's road hasn't been an easy one, but it's
brought him to the perfect job—working for the elite Body
Armor security agency. And what his newest assignment lacks
in size, she makes up for in fire and backbone. But being
drawn to Catalina Nicholson is a dangerous complication,
especially since it could be the very man who hired Leese
who's threatening her.
What Catalina knows could get her killed. But who'd believe
the sordid truth about her powerful stepfather? Beyond
Leese's ripped body and brooding gaze is a man of impeccable
honor. He's the last person she expects to trust—and the
first who's ever made her feel safe. And he's the only one
who can help her expose a deadly secret, if they can just
stay alive long enough…
