I think this is going to be the easiest book review I have ever written.  Over my 46 years I have read hundreds if not thousands of book.  Some good, some bad, most solidly in the middle somewhere but LETHAL PURSUIT is, simply put, beyond good, it's an absolutely extraordinary read!!!As the 3rd book in Kaylea Cross's Bagram Special Ops series, LETHAL PURSUIT tells the story of Security Forces Lieutenant Maya Lopez and Jackson Thatcher, a pararescue jumper.  While Jackson may have attracted Maya's interest, her trust is something that will be much harder for him to win.  Maya has worked doubly hard to earn her rank and the respect of her fellow soldier's.  Jackson is a protector to his core and is charming and sexy with Southern manners that are deep rooted.Their story develops as they are providing medical care in a small, rural Afghan community.  As their day long mission is about to come to an end, they are taken prisoner and with them is a high ranking military leader.  Will they escape?  Will they live?  Well, you have to buy the book to find out the answers to those questions.  Suffice it to say both Maya and Jackson have to call on every bit of their strength and courage, wit and wisdom and learn to trust each other in order to make it thru alive. Can they do that??Kaylea Cross knows how to tell a story like very few others.  LETHAL PURSUIT is gritty, relevant, disturbing at times and down-right hot and oh, so sexy at other times.  Cross takes us on Maya and Jackson's horrific journey as POW's in a way that also allows their journey as two people yearning for each other. It's a very well-balanced book.  Cross's doesn't throw in arbitrary sex scenes; what she does manage to do is place tender, caring moments where they most belong amongst times that are beyond hideous.I'm not going to lie, LETHAL PURSUIT can be difficult to read at times.  There are parts that are harsh, but they are, sadly, true to life for POW's.  But there are also parts that are so tender and loving they bring more tears to your eyes than the scenes that are more arduous to read.  I encourage you to read it from start to finish, don't skip the tough scenes, as missing them will take away from the story.  Kaylea Cross puts the reader at the scene and if you miss any of it, you miss a lot of Maya and Jackson's story.I loved Kaylea Cross's book before reading LETHAL PURSUIT, she has a fan for life after reading it.  I can't wait for her next story, whether it be a part of her Bagram Special Ops series or her Titanium Security series!!**Note: Book received from author for honest review**Other books by Kaylea Cross:Romantic Military Suspense:Ignited - Titanium Security Book #1Signed - Titanium Security Book #2Burned - Titanium Security Book #3Deadly Descent - Bagram Special Ops Book #1Tactical Strike - Bagram Special Ops Book #2Out of Her League - Suspense Series Book #1Cover of Darkness - Suspense Series Book #2No Turning Back - Suspense Series Book #3Relentless - Suspense Series Book #4Absolution - Suspense Series Book #5Paranormal Romance:Darkest Caress - Empowered Series Book #1Historical Romance:The Vacant Chair
