Entertainment reporter Karly Bonham was bragging to her
sister Rachel on the phone about her stellar work
environment. Anthony Mancuso is the new US ambassador to
Thailand and Karly is doing a story on him. In spite of
the lush surroundings and the posh hotel, Karly had been
working hard, and she decided to play hooky, as her
article is just about ready. Was it a case of being at
the wrong place at the wrong time when a leisurely boat
ride at the resort becomes the scene of a terrorist
attack and Karly is rescued by Alpha Team SEAL Ethan
Dunn?
I had barely finished book 1 and 2, Alpha Crew: The
Mission Begins that I dove right in COVER OF THE
NIGHT. And again I marvelled at the change of scenery for
a SEAL's story. This time in addition to Manila, we get
to see Thailand in all its glorious beauty. To begin
with, I was nearly deliriously happy to read that Ethan
is just short of six feet, not a giant! While Karly and
Ethan's initial meeting is reminiscent of that of Emma
and Ryan in book 1, all resemblance ends there. I loved
the combination of danger and Karly and Ethan's first
date: a lovely day when they get to know each other while
checking out the local sights, behaving like normal
people. While she mostly denies, Karly remained shaken by
the attack, and Ethan was so kind, caring, and just so
wonderful towards her; he is a great hero in every sense
of the word.
COVER OF THE NIGHT is a short novel, the action stops
only for the lovely romantic moments. I loved Karly's
integrity, and also that she did not stand back and
watch; she knew she had useful intel and she wanted to
help, without being a hindrance. COVER OF THE NIGHT is
perfectly paced, slower parts alternating with faster
ones, where you can feel the impending doom creeping
underneath it all. I thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected
twist on the romance, which made me love Ethan even more.
There is more romance in COVER OF THE NIGHT than in the
two previous installments, which I didn't mind one bit,
as it was a wonderful romance! What a terrific series
this is turning out to be!
Sparks fly when a journalist and a Navy SEAL cross paths in
Thailand in this third entry in the thrilling and sexy Alpha
Crew series from New York Times bestselling author Laura
Griffin.
Journalist Karly Bonham is on her first overseas mission,
covering the new United States ambassador to Thailand, when
she is taken hostage by terrorists, with only her wits and
courage to keep her alive--until help arrives in the form of
Navy SEAL Ethan Dunn.
As part of an elite SEAL team called Alpha Crew, Ethan has
been on countless harrowing missions, but he knows this one
is different the instant he meets Karly—the sexy young
reporter who somehow managed to escape the terrorists’
clutches. Ethan is impressed by her, especially when he
learns she has intel that could be the key to a successful
rescue op. Ethan knows working with a civilian raises the
stakes on an already dangerous mission. But with the clock
ticking down, he enlists Karly’s help to thwart a vicious
plot and bring a terrorist mastermind to justice.
Featuring Laura Griffin’s signature “heart pounding,
nerve-jangling suspense, combined with sizzling sex” (Fresh
Fiction), Cover of Night is a fast-paced, romantic thriller
that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
