4 Smooches
Synopsis
She can track down the world’s most dangerous drug lords, hack into any computer, and kill a man in fifteen different ways—but when she comes face-to-face with the only man who’s ever held her heart, it might be her most dangerous mission yet… Or is it?
Sloan Walker. Dr. Felicia Santora. Agent L-55.
Three very different personas, three very different names, but all have one thing in common. They’re all controlled, acted out, and lived by one woman.
Her past has been long forgotten. Ten years have gone by since someone remembered the girl she used to be. The young girl with the big-brown eyes and beautiful dreams of happiness, dreams of love. She now lives a clandestine life. A life filled with top-secret missions and covert assignments. Only a handful of people know the true nature of her job. Her safety is constantly being pushed towards the brink of life-threatening danger.
Then one day someone unexpectedly steps back into her life…
A man who once owned her mind, body, and soul.
A man who held her heart in the palm of his hand.
He remembers. He knows.
And this knowledge could threaten everything she’s worked so hard for. Nixon West is as intelligent as they come and his Navy SEAL training has made him one of the most dangerous weapons in the United States Military. The moment she reappeared into his life he promised himself that he wouldn’t let her go.
But the true question is…what extreme lengths will Nix go to for her?
She will soon face another mission.
And it will test everything.
Time never seems all that important until your life hangs in the balance.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock…
Review
Covertly Strong is the first book in a new series by NA Alcon. I really enjoyed this book and its\’s military/cia theme. It was so different than any other book I had read and thoroughly enjoyed how it used military style headings and time to help tell the story of Nix and Sloan.
Nix and Sloan met when they were 16 years old in Hawaii while her dad was stationed there. It took no time at all for them to become attached to each other and become inseparable. It is quickly apparent that they are in love and that their love is very very strong. But a year later when they get separated because Sloan’s dad gets a new assignment something happens and they lose contact.
Flash forward fourteen years and Nix is a very sexy Navy Seal and Sloan is a in command CIA agent. The two run into each other while she is undercover and we can all see that the chemistry and feelings they were once there never really go away.
Covertly Strong is an action packed romantic suspense novel that will leave you wondering what is about to happen next. I loved Nix’s alpha tendencies and how much he clearly has always loved Sloan. Sloan is a wonderful Heroine who is strong willed and can easily handle herself in any situation! Overall, I really liked the plot and characters in this novel.
I will say that I enjoyed the present part of the book a lot more than the past. It took me a few to get hooked into it but once I did I just couldn’t stop. If you like Romantic Suspense novels than this is one you will want to add to your list!
