High 3.5 so rounded up to a 4.
High octane story similar in tone to the Sanctuary series but without the relationship build up. I could have done with a few more chapters establishing their feelings before being thrown into the action on the rig.
Also I was entirely happy to stop before the epilogue. For me it added nothing that hadn't been handled perfectly at the hospital (it actually made Niall seem insecure and whingey which he hadn't up to that point).
An enjoyable read with action and explosions, hot alpha men and a nerd.

I have only one complaint.... this was way, way, way too short!

I would have loved a much more fleshed out story where we really get to know the characters and how they live their lives. It takes a great author to be able to give us so much in so few words, but honestly, I would prefer all the extra detail a longer story would give me. ( )

An elite team of anti-terrorist specialists with a code name that demands respect? Check. Action-packed adventure with a side serving of love developing between men who would not normally consider each other as anything more than a one-night partner? Oh yes. And one of the most unusual settings I have ever found in gay romance—an oil platform about to be decommissioned? Put on your seat belts and get ready for one wild ride!

Finn is paid to be a hero. On call most of the time, he has been trained to be one of the best, and he is as proud of that as he is fierce when confronting the no-good lawbreakers who make his life, and that of all other men of the law, much harder than it should be. He is not the type for flowers and chocolate, and he has no interest in geeks, but when he meets Niall, somehow all those “rules” fly out the window. Not that he admits it at first, but when danger almost takes Niall from him, he realizes that some rules are there to be broken.

Niall, although he is a geeky engineer and thinks he is nothing special, is the real hero of the story for me. He overcomes his fears and manages to more than hold his own in a situation that would have most men give up. Honestly, what he manages to do, and how he keeps it together once the terrorists take over the platform is admirable. Shaking with fear the whole time, he still gets things done, and gets them done well.

If you like alpha men and the guys they fall for, if you enjoy unusual settings and spine-tingling action, and if you’re looking for a read that is as suspenseful as it is hot, you will probably like this novella. It’s short, to the point, and an adventure I don’t think you’ll quickly forget.
