Deep Cover: Duty & Honor Book Three

I’m a total gonner for a man in uniform. Combine a military romance with romantic suspense and it’s a total win-win in my books. Okay, I know I am totally biased as a military brat. So, I was totally psyched to be reading Deep Cover. Let’s just say, Ms. Jones doesn’t disappoint. Her background in Army Intelligence definitely serves her well in her writing. Deep Cover is about a British SAS officer undercover in a radical terrorist group and what happens when he runs into an ex-lover as one of the hostages taken in the group’s latest shenanigans. Say goodbye undercover op when her well-being is at stake.Shelby Gibson has come a long way from her humble beginnings in a podunk little town where every expectation is that she should marry and procreate like a good little girl. Shelby had just a few other aspirations than being the arm candy or prize breeding mare to any man. Her aspirations though didn’t stop her from becoming engaged to the wrong man, another man out to use her for his upward mobility amongst the movers and shakers of the Washington set. Her job as a political analyst has her moving in rather high circles. Luckily, she wised up. Then one evening, she fell for the suave moves of SAS officer, Trevor Carswell. A hot and steamy encounter saw her waking to hear Trevor making plans to meet up with another woman. Well, color her done when it came to one, Trevor Carswell. That is until she’s face-to-face with him as a hostage. As much as she wants nothing further to do with him, she knows darn good and well he is not the man his current actions portray him to be.When Trevor first saw Shelby, he knew if there was one woman he could love it was her. But, his life as an SAS officer doesn’t exactly lend itself to any kind of permanent relationship. It’s kind of hard to maintain a relationship when you never know when you’ll be leaving or coming back. Not many women are willing to put up with the life he could offer. So, Trevor has resigned himself to a life of one-night stands. He was never quite certain just what he did to earn Shelby’s disdain. Now he’s in a position where he has to choose between his undercover op or the only woman he’s had feelings for. Perhaps, the two of them can salvage something from this fiasco. The Bedlamites are creating damage to museums and the like. The group is run by someone in the shadows and it’s a mystery what the true motivation for the attacks are. If they are lucky, they’ll not only save the day but, find a love worthy of the two of them.Deep cover is full of action, adventure, suspense, and romance. Typical of any crime caper you have a mystery to solve. Ms. Jones has penned a totally enjoyable read I’m sure will please anyone who likes a bit of romantic suspense with a covert military operative and highly intelligent heroine.*****Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions*****

The plot is slow, not really grabbing. And I don't like heroines who put themselves in danger when they're told not to do it.

Excellent story. The basics are, a foreign affairs government official meets a military officer from another country and they each find something admirable about the other. In another country’s setting the two meet again and get caught up in terrorist plans to rob a museum. But this story is so much more than the basic outline. As a reader who really enjoys different genres, this story has a really interesting plot, some historical facts and good charterers. Though the characters need a bit more fleshing out, this does not detract from the story. You will gain information as the story unfolds.

I had a hard time putting this book (OK, my Kindle) down when "real" life was happening around me! And when it came time to go to bed, because I had to work the next day, I laid in bed and couldn't sleep. Thoughts of Trevor and Shelby filled my mind and I had to get back up and read "just one more chapter" (OK, like 4 chapters).Deep Cover is a great read for Men or Women, the author has truly grown from the first two books and I am anxiously awaiting the release of the 4th book! Military Suspense and Romance are my two favorite genre's and this book has it all in just the right doses.I was excited to see the signing for the next 3 book deal! Way to go Leslie Jones!

The details are overwhelmingly descriptive to the point that reading this is more like watching a movie. I have read all three and can't wait to read more. The action is so detailed and accurate that I have to look it up to visualize what is happening. This author truly knows and understands exactly how the military operate. Only someone with inside experience could possibly write with such descriptive finesse and ongoing plot twists, as nothing ever goes according to plan in real life. Highly recommended and I look forward to more stories.
