Title: Bitten Under Fire
Series: Bravo Team WOLF Book #2
Stand Alone Title: yes
Author: Heather Long
Genre: Romance, Paranormal
Blurb: Bianca Devlin’s work is her life. Now, she’s finally taking a vacation…and guerillas hit her resort to kidnap a diplomat’s son. She does the only thing that makes sense—intervene to save the child’s life. Being dragged into the jungle with a scared kid she’s determined to protect was definitely not how she saw this trip ending.
After she returns to Texas, the last person Bianca expected to see was Sergeant Carlos “Cage” Castillo, the member of Bravo Team WOLF that helped rescue her. Nevertheless, there he is, living across the street from the house she just bought. The coincidence is alarming, but she has to admit, his presence isn’t entirely unwanted.
But there’s something off about Cage—the way he can move without a sound or the weird way his eyes seem to almost glow at times. And how can Bianca manage her growing attraction, when everything she knows about him and his reason for being there, turns out to be a lie?
Thoughts: I have been eagerly awaiting – on pins and needles – for the release of this book. I LOVED the first book in the series When Danger Bites, and I was expecting to love this one just as much. While it didn’t quit hit my radar with the same success as When Danger Bites, I still enjoyed this one immensely. Bianca was an exceedingly strong female character – I loved her bravery, her compassion, her strength and self-knowledge of who she is a person, etc. She is pretty much a saint of epic proportion. In fact, she’s one of those that leave you questioning yourself more on whether you could be doing more in the arena of giving back to society. And trust me, compared to Bianca you can always do more! LOL You can’t help but like her though. I loved Cage to, and Long has a talent for bringing you in as reader to feel the emotions of her characters. This one had less of a focus on the paranormal aspect (surprisingly) considering the series is built on it, but without the whole ‘accidental bite’ aspect of it, it reads more like an action/military romantic suspense novel. Paranormal reads are my favorite though so I kind of missed that focus, but all in all, another hit for Heather Long.
