PASSIONS ARE READY TO
POP IN THIS STEAMY NEW ROMANTIC THRILLER FROM AWARD WINNING BESTSELLING AUTHOR
LORI FOSTER
UNDER PRESSURE Synopsis:
He can protect
anything except his heart
Leese Phelps's road
hasn't been an easy one, but it's brought him to the perfect job—working for
the elite Body Armor security agency. And what his newest assignment lacks in
size, she makes up for in fire and backbone. But being drawn to Catalina
Nicholson is a dangerous complication, especially since it could be the very
man who hired Leese who's threatening her.
What Catalina knows
could get her killed. But who'd believe the sordid truth about her powerful
stepfather? Beyond Leese's ripped body and brooding gaze is a man of impeccable
honor. He's the last person she expects to trust—and the first who's ever made
her feel safe. And he's the only one who can help her expose a deadly secret,
if they can just stay alive long enough…
“Romantic thriller
veteran Foster has been honing her skill for a long time, and it’s clear she’s
at the top of her game here. Readers will find themselves, along with her
colorful cast of supporting characters, rooting for a happy-ever-after.”
“Teasing and humorous
dialogue, sizzling sex scenes, tender moments, and overriding tension show
Foster’s skill as a balanced storyteller. She sets up a continuing story line
for the series with the mystery of who murdered the firm’s founder, Sahara’s
brother, but this thread never overwhelms the gripping main story, which will
leave readers breathless.”

Rating: ★★★★
Reviewer: Melyssa
I’ve been a fan of
Lori Foster for as long as I can remember. From her shorter tales with
Harlequin to the longer more in depth and suspense driven ones, I never really
missed a chance to snag up one of her paperbacks, so picking this one up was
kind of a no brainer.
She packs a heat
level in her books that always just fits, adding in suspense and even the right
amount of humor so you don’t drown in the seriousness of things and that is
pretty much the formula for Under Pressure as well.
Right from the jump
the chemistry is there, off the charts, but also there are these moments that
are and were just super sweet, especially given the position that both main
characters find themselves in, and I enjoyed it.
There was a definite
slow burn here between the two as Leese did his damndest to keep Cat alive and
breathing. But there was humor, there were edge of your seat moments and when
these two did finally give in, there was steam. A lot of steam.
I had a few issues as
I went along in terms of certain instances where I felt scenes may have been a
little over drawn out and didn’t really bring anything new to the table, but it
didn’t take away too much from my overall enjoyment of the book and the
characters itself.
The author has an ease
with her writing style that keeps you engaged even as the pace of the story
picks up and I didn’t feel as though I was too bogged down at any time or didn’t
feel lost. It all came together very well.
The ending for me was
sweet and much deserved, even if the action of it and then the resolution did
seem a little quick in how it all wrapped up. But such is the world of fiction
I suppose. You can’t have a story go on forever and with the resolution here, I
do believe it ended in the very best way it could have.
I think if you’re a
fan of romantic suspense with the right amount of steam, a fan of this author
or even just hot bodyguards in general, I think you’ll enjoy this. I know that
I did.
And on a final note,
I loved the nod and appearances made by other characters in this book. It was a
nice treat getting to see some of these again. I also can’t wait to see where
the author takes us on Justice’s journey.
My thanks to the
author and all others involved for letting me read an early release of this
book. It’s a trip I’m glad to have taken.
