Perfectly paired couple alert! - Give a woman with a vendetta against a drug lord and a man trained to track down and capture terrorist the same assignment and BOOM! Fireworks!

I love that this was an unpredictable book. Every single part of it just about. On one hand, you have a trained DEA agent dead set on revenge against the very drug lord who killed her family in a random act of violence. Throw in a Delta Force Captain who is after someone in the Drug Lords crew and man oh man, do you have one whopping book!

Sage is an an amazing lead female. I love reading about women who can hold their own and are damn near as strong, if not stronger than the male leads they are paired with. She will do anything to bring down the man who killed her family, and she gets that chance when she is assigned to go undercover and get into his operation to help bring it down. Once inside, she plays her part as the drug lords girlfriend while gathering information on his shipments, meeting points, etc.

Enter Delta Force Captain Anthony Davis. While tracking someone from overseas and getting info that he is in fact dealing with this drug lord, he is assigned to take him out. Once inside the compound to secretly set up video cameras, he encounters Sage. No where in his briefing of the case was it mentioned there was an undercover inside the operation.. Now, plans change.

The one thing this book does that the others haven't, was focus more on the action and plot of the book, and not the romance. Don't get me wrong, the romance was still there, but Vendetta and Revenge are the names of this book! I loved watching the action unfold page after page. ( )

LOCKED AND LOADED by Alexis Grant is an action packed romantic suspense. I t is the 2nd book in "The Men of Delta Force",but can be read as a stand alone. See,"Sizzle and Burn". "Locked and Loaded" is a fast paced,adventure filled story written with details and with characters that will have your heart pumping as DEA agent Sage Wagner tries to save her man. And trained Delta Force Captain Anthony Davis tries to find a traitor. This is the first book I have read by this author but it will not be my last. She has written a sizzling story where Delta Force men meet their match with the passionate,strong women of their lives. What an amazing,story of military life,the danger they face,and the women they love. "Locked and Loaded" is a must read. This author has written a high octane,story that will have you biting your nails and sitting on the edge of your seat as these two strong-willed people try to stay alive and bring down a traitor.
