Elizabeth Shields has always craved adventure. That's why she went to work for the CIA straight out of college. That's probably also the reason she feels drawn to Quinn McManus, a veteran of the British Special Air Service. The big Scotsman gives off a dangerous vibe that she can't resist. Yet, resist she must. She and Quinn both work for Cobra International Security, which has a strict policy against hook-ups between employees, and she's too much of a professional to date a coworker. She and Quinn can never be more than friends. But when his best buddy from the SAS is found murdered on the streets of Glasgow, Elizabeth will do all she can to help Quinn cope with the loss ? and find the culprit. Quinn McManus escaped a life of poverty by joining the British Army. His fellow soldiers became his family, forging a bond stronger than blood. Now, with his best friend dead, he needs Elizabeth's special skills to help track down the killer. He has no intention of getting physical with her. Rules are rules. But as their unofficial investigation heats up, so does the attraction between them. Still, he refuses to surrender. Because if they cross the line from friends to lovers, there will be no going back. But some battles can't be won, and soon the passion between Quinn and Elizabeth ignites, hot enough to melt the cold Glasgow winter. As they move closer to the truth and to each other, they find themselves in the sights of a stone-cold killer, who won't hesitate to destroy them both to keep a terrible secret. When Quinn McManus' best friend from his days in the British Special Air Service is found dead in an alley in Glasgow, he turns to Elizabeth Shields to help him find the man who did it. As they cross the line from friends to lovers, they find themselves in the sights of a stone-cold killer.… (mais)

Hard Justice
5 Stars

Upon returning from a Cobra Elite mission, British SAS veteran Quinn McManus learns that his best friend has been murdered in Glasgow. Quinn travels to Scotland, but finds himself in need of help from former CIA intelligence officer Elizabeth Shields. Determined to keep their relationship strictly professional despite their attraction, Quinn and Elizabeth inevitably get closer to the truth and to each other...

This is Pamela Clare at her finest!

Unlike the first two books, which focused more on military-style operations, the plot in this installment is solid mystery-suspense as Quinn and Elizabeth follow leads and gather clues as to who killed his friend. While the identity of the culprit is not difficult to guess, the action is excellent and the resolution is nail-biting.

Quinn and Elizabeth's partners in love romance is fantastic. In addition to sizzling chemistry, they have such a sweet connection, which adds another layer to their intimacy. Quinn is the epitome of the gentle giant, and his love and respect for Elizabeth land him solidly in the hottie harem. Elizabeth is an engaging mix of fun and feisty, and her deep and abiding affection and caring for Quinn are palpable.

While the Cobra Elite team takes a back seat to the mystery and romance, they do put in an appearance and their camaraderie is very endearing.

Overall, this is the best installment so far and the one that is most similar to Clare's original I-Team series. ( )

Elizabeth Shields and Quinn McManus have been attracted to each other for years, but because of their contract with Cobra, which states that employees can't have romantic relationships with one another, they have tried to remain just friends. When Quinn's best friend, Jack, from the SAS is murdered and accused of dealing drugs, Elizabeth tracks Quinn down in Scotland and attempts to help him piece together what happened to his friend and try to clear his name.

The relationship between the two main characters comes across as very believable because of their long association with one another. Quinn's drinking is also addressed as the two main characters begin a tentative love affair. The suspense and mystery aspect of the story is well balanced with that of the romance. Overall, a solid, well-written entry in the Cobra Elite series. ( )
