Zoe’s stalker has been murdered…Deadly Fallout is the 10th book in the RSS series and tells the story of Zoe, Vincent’s sister (we got his story in the 7th book in the series) and Sawyer McCabe, an RSS employee and former SEAL.
Dr. Zoe Hansen was forced to leave her beloved hospital job to escape a stalker. It worked—or so she thought. She’s terrified when he reappears in her life one night—and stunned when he turns up viciously murdered soon after. She’s arrested for the crime, but she quickly clears her name. Unfortunately, her problems are far from over. She’ll have to accept the protection of the one man she shouldn’t want.
…now she’s in more danger than ever before.
Former Navy SEAL Sawyer McCabe might not know the gorgeous Zoe as well as he wants to, but he knows all about trouble. So when she's threatened, he steps in to help her regardless of the consequences and gets her out of town. But it’s not enough to escape a determined killer. As the danger closes in they have to trust each other if they want to stay alive. And Sawyer’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep Zoe safe and in his arms. Because Zoe is worth risking everything for.
Zoe is a doctor who works at the same hospital with her stalker. As things weren’t already bad, she knows who her stalker is, a fellow married doctor. When Zoe makes it clear that she’s not interested, he takes it quite badly and goes as far to spread a rumor that he and Zoe are in a relationship. But Zoe has had enough. She gets a restraining order and quits her job at the hospital.
Her life seems to be in order again when suddenly her stalker reappears. Zoe doesn’t know what else to do except “hide” in Mina and Blue’s house. But what she doesn’t expect is to find Sawyer in their house.
Sawyer could never forget Zoe. So, when they meet again and she pretends not to know him, he takes that personally. After finding out about her stalker though, the only thing he wants is to protect her.
This book was great. I liked Sawyer and Zoe as a couple. I had a few problems with Zoe but I managed to overlook them as the story progressed. It’s just that after everything she has been through you would expect her to be more guarded. So, when she made the first move with Sawyer, I was surprised. Sawyer was a nice guy. He was smart, sexy, strong, protective and a very realistic character. The author never once overestimated his abilities. She didn’t present him as a hero but as protector.
Deadly Fallout was n amazing boon but again it was kind of short. There were twists and turns, the plot was interesting and the attraction between the main characters was scorching.
Totally recommended!
