HER ROUGE ALPHA is another good read in the X-OP series by Paige Tyler. This one brings us Jayson and Layla's story. The two are wonderful together but Jayson is dealing with the past mission that he was leading. One that left him with scars on both the outside and inside. As much as he needs Layla's help and support she seems to be the one that he continues to push away. Will they be able to work through their problems to find that happy ever after or is it all too late and for nothing?

I really like Jayson and Layla and seeing their relationship begin to go down in flames was sad to see but as the two begin to realize what is at stake they start to fight for their love. Both characters are strong but Jayson is dealing with healing and not being the man he thinks he should be. Layla loves her man but how much more of his pushing her away can she take?

Yet when danger comes calling Jayson is more than ready to be the man everyone knows he is. Jayson and Layla go on separate missions but his is for someone not to be trusted. Will Layla and their friends be able to reach Jayson in time or is it already too late?

Layla and Jayson are two characters that I have enjoyed in previous books and was glad to see them get their own story told. I really liked Layla. She is a strong and determined lady. She will not let anything get in her way, not even Jayson. He is a good man and once he realizes his mistakes and figures out the truth of things, he sets his mind to make things right and to fight for what he wants in his life.

This book is full of emotions and moves at a good pace. The author does a good job of mixing the action and romance together to pull you in. I was quickly pulled into this world and cannot wait to return to see just what will happen next.
