Live By The Team by Cindy Skaggs
3.0
I liked this OK, wouldn't say I loved it, but I liked it. I liked that Lauren had volition of her own and wasn't ready and willing to hand over responsibility of her protection to another. I liked that Ryder was so clearly in love and willing to show it. I liked that the two were already married, so the romance was a little different that the normal meeting and falling in love sort. I thought Rose and Debi were fun side characters.
However, the 'love' was too focused on sex (it got redundant), too much of the plot hinged on Ryder's unwillingness to simply say what needed to be said, the super-soldier aspect was all hand-wavy, and I was actually quite bothered that ~80% of the book was dodging one established threat, but that it suddenly evaporated and the last part of the book was dealing with an entirely different, unrelated threat. I suppose it was a plot twist, but it felt more like a plot shift to me.
All in all, I liked Skagg's writing. I'd read another of their books. But this was a so-so read for me.
