Review: Going undercover and under covers
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 20, 2011
Book 1 in "Red Hot & Blue" series. Followed byJack.Plot:Jack is obsessed with Carly. Trey has no time for a relationship. Carly won't have anything to do with military men. When Carly is called into active service, undercover, with Trey, they find their hearts don't always do what their minds want.Comments:- These books are short. This one is just 2215 kindle locations (not too bad, but it does have a number of "other books you might like" at the end), Book 4 is 1281. However the price is indicative, the sex is lusty and the story fulfilling. I am not disappointed.- Sex is m/f with questionable consent (for the good of the team!). Exhibitionism (he knows, she doesn't).- Male characters are Special Ops, Carly is an ex-military bartender.- Product says it has been previously published and has been revised for this edition. Looking further, it appears Johnson wrote a number of "trilogies" (3 stories in the one book) some years ago and is expanding each story into a novella.Trilogy No. 103: Red Hot & Bluehas "Trey" but is currently out of print.Opinion:I really enjoyed this book (and the series as a whole). The characters were well written and had a lot of depth, and the story was sufficiently interesting. This is a short book with a complex and lusty sex scene used to drive the plot, resulting in a satisfactory and believable HEA.***SPOILER***While there is implied furthering of the Bad Guy and Trey's story, I haven't seen this in any of the books I have read (are currently available). After "Trey" we move to Jack's hometown and get the stories of his brothers and then some books following other town characters. Looking around the author's website, it appears Book 7 or 8 "A Few Good Men" returns to the stories of Task Force Zeta and possibly picks up this loose end.
