I was delighted to get an ARC of this novel a few days ahead of the official release. I also purchased a Kindle copy because I love to support authors.I like military romance novels, but in my estimation there are some that deserve extra special mention. Two years back I read J.L. Saint's first book in the Silent Warrior series, Collateral Damage, and I loved it. I couldn't wait to review the second book when it came out.Tactical Deception has everything a romance reader who enjoys military romance novels will love. Fantastic characterization, high sexual tension, action, adventure, suspense and hot love scenes. J.L. obviously put a lot of work into creating a novel that fulfills all those wishes. The main hero and heroine are full, living, breathing characters with faults and strengths. I'll admit that perfect characters without faults don't do much for me. I want to see the hero and heroine wrestle with their very human emotions. I loved the way they survived the trials they went through, including some seriously deadly enemies. Along with that are other characters that were introduced in the first book with their own romance threads. I'm looking forward to another book in this series! Kudos to J.L. for proving that wonderful characterization and excellent plot and conflict can be combined in one novel.
