Casee‘s review of Feel the Heat (Black Ops, Inc., Book 4) by Cindy Gerard.
A RACE FOR SURVIVAL…
Bold, blonde Defense Intelligence officer B. J. Chase isn’t exactly thrilled when she’s summoned from personal leave to investigate an alarming national security breach — until the suspicious death of a government official blows her covert mission sky-high.
TURNS INTO A PULSE-POUNDING ADVENTURE…
Gorgeous Black Ops bad boy Raphael Mendoza always feared his family’s dark history would haunt him. But he never expected it might hold the key to dismantling a rogue weapons system. Now with cool B. J. Chase posing as his hot babe fiancée, he returns to his uncle in Colombia to convince him he can be trusted with the family’s dirtiest business secrets.
…AND IGNITES A PASSIONATE FIRE.
Carrying out a deception among ruthless killers brings Rafe and B.J. too close to ignore the smoldering heat between them. Now, they must work together as the closest of partners as the countdown to international catastrophe closes in….
B.J. Chase is one of those heroines that could have you going either way. You’ll either admire her or dislike her. She is an extremely uptight person. She’s has so much loss in her past that she doesn’t risk getting close to anyone. She doesn’t even like making friends.
Raphael and B.J. will never forget each other. So it is with some dismay (on both their parts) that they come face-to-face once again. Their past together isn’t a happy one and they have only met once before. When B.J. goes undercover at the CIA, she has to work with Stephanie whatshername. Stephanie doesn’t want to believe that there is a traitor, but her work soon uncovers that her boss might be the person that the DIA is looking for. When that puts her in the sights of a terrorist, the BOI’s step in to protect Stephanie.
The last thing that B.J. wants to do is work with Raphael Mendoza. He’s everything she doesn’t like in a man. When her mission is given to the Black Ops, Inc. team, B.J. is furious. Raphael makes it clear that she has to play nice or she’s out. That means that she has to pose as his fiance when Raphael returns to his Colombian family so they can stop an attack on the United States.
Raphael is drawn to B.J., but he doesn’t know why. Even though he’s attracted to her physically, personally she’s prickly and brittle. It’s the glimpses he sees of her that she tries to hide that make him curious to know who she really is.
