Synopsis (Goodreads):
As a K9 handler on the Search and Protect team, Arin Siri needs to be where the action is--and right now that's investigating a trafficking operation in Hawaii. When an enemy from her past shows up bleeding, she's torn between the desire to patch Jason up or put more holes in him. Then again, the hotshot mercenary could be the person she needs to bust open her case.Thoughts on Fierce Justice: All right! Back to Hawaii and the Search and Protect team and the honorable men, women, and canines who do their best to stop the bad guys before they dig their hooks too deeply into...wow, that sentence was getting a little long winded, wasn't it? Let's just say the S&P team do everything they can to thwart the bad guys and keep the exploited safe.
Jason Landon's team had always been about taking the contract, getting paid, and not asking questions. But after his last mission went south, he started to get curious. His questions quickly drove him out of his mercenary group and off the grid. Now, the only people he can think of to help him are the Search and Protect team -- and the dark beauty who is as ready to kill him as she is to bed him. And he's totally ready to risk the former for the chance at the latter. But he isn't the only person with a target on his back. Arin's in danger too, and he'll do everything he can to keep her safe.
Jason...well, he wasn't exactly in the best place when we first met him. As head of a security team working for the bad guys, he was on the opposite side from Arin and her people. Since learning the truth about the people who hired him, Jason's done what he can to right the wrongs he inadvertently helped create.
But he's only one man and the people he's up against are widespread. Which means his defection from their ranks puts him in their crosshairs.
Arin and her crew (technically, they're just coworkers, I guess, since Arin's pretty solitary. Excluding King. Arin's pretty dedicated to King.) are just the people to help keep Jason safe AND for him to help make amends. Both the information he gained when working for the traffickers and the skills he's learned in his time in security come in handy.
Let's just say people who deal in human cargo aren't terribly worried about collateral damage. And they REALLY don't want to be caught doing what they're doing.
I've enjoyed the different couples we've met with this team and I really liked seeing Jason find a way under Arin's walls. As tough as she is, Arin's...I don't want to say vulnerable, exactly, but that's kind of right, too. She knows she's not the best in social situations and she's aware of how uncomfortable she can make people. She's willing to step out of her comfort zone for her sister, but that's about it. Until Jason comes along and slides under her walls.
Solid story, intense characters, and smokin' sexy times. *thumbs up*
