Review: A good read but definitely not my favorite heroine.

This was a good, quick fairly light romantic suspense. I really wanted to like this book, if hit all my favorite triggers: best friends forbidden sibling, headstrong heroine, former military alpha hero but I think my expectations may have been too high because I just found myself disappointed. I will say this I loved Levi, he did hit all the right notes with me. Tough, protective, a little haunted, he was excellent hero material. I just could not connect with Harper. I have no argument with a headstrong heroine, I love them but her need for control and the way she goes about getting it didn't work for me. I found her abrasive and I think what really bothered me most was her complete inability to listen. It didn't matter who was telling her something if it was contrary to what she wanted then they were wrong and were just trying to control her. I also was confused about what went on with Levi and the guys' last mission, there is a lot that is left blank and I have to wonder if more of the story will be told in future books or if we'll just be left hanging? Levi blames himself for Gavin's death but that's something he and Harper never talk about and that kind of bothered me too. I don't know, this one just wasn't for me. I have read other books by both these authors and enjoyed them but I don't think I will continue with this series, it just didn't grab me. I received an ARC from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
