☆¸.•*¨*★☆ FROSTBITTEN by Rebecca Zanetti (#6 Deep Ops) ☆★*¨*•.¸☆

Enigmatic. 

With a wildly gifted mind, and an untamed head of hair to match, petite
powerhouse Millicent Frost is brilliant when it comes to gadgets and electronics—less so with people. After an attempt to bust a bank scam goes awry, Millie is in hot water with Homeland Security and targeted by lethal enemies. In the midst of the trouble, she heads home to help out with the family hunting and fishing business. But when their rival competitor and Millie’s ex is murdered, she’s the number one suspect . . .

Irresistible. 

Former Marine turned lawyer Scott Terentson devotes himself to getting his clients out of tricky binds. A loner, the last thing he wants is to belong to any team, yet the Deep Ops group considers him one of their own—and he pays the price by getting shot at by their enemies. Now Millie is seeking his help—just as he’s dealing with a brutal fail regarding a recent trial. Both are a headache, yet he’s drawn to Millie in spite of himself. They’re opposites, but maybe the old adage is true . . .

Electric. 

Working together, Millie and Scott soon have more on their hands than they bargained for as the danger escalates—along with the sizzling heat between them. And when a disappearance is thrown into the mix, all bets are off . . .

REVIEW

Frostbitten is a great read to start the new reading year. I love the Deep Ops series by Rebecca Zanetti and this is the sixth book, and as always amazing to read because of her characters, because of the plot that doesn’t give away who the real murderer is, and why he’s after her. Really the plot is great, a page-turner, but also Rebecca Zanetti has such a perfect gift to start a story, and a romantic suspense one.

This time everything is more focused on Millie, the little “Q” (as the one on James Bond movies and books) in the team lead by Angus Force, a team part of the Homeland Defense Department. And Scott is the lawyer who helped the team in the past and took a bullet and saving Angus’ life in the previous book. 

Millie always dismissed Scott as a fancy lawyer, a gorgeous man, but still a lawyer and she hates the category. She’s also angry with him because he blew-up her mission while she was undercover and he crossed her path working for a client. But when she’s accused of her ex-boyfriend murder, after returning in her hometown, she needs a good lawyer, and he shows up to take charge of her defense, not that Millie made a call for him, it was a nice interference of the Chief of the police who knows her from childhood.

And this is one of the beautiful and funny things of this story, how everyone in town wants to protect her.

Scott is an ex-marine, protective, alpha and stubborn, so no fancy lawyer there, and when the times get tough that’s his cup of tea, and Millie realizes how she was wrong about him.

The chemistry between them is explosive, the plot well developed and I loved the new characters we find in this story as JT, Millie’s brother, her aunt or Scott’s mum.

There’s also a lot of Roscoe time, Angus’ dog. Scott is taking care of him while Angus is away, and Roscoe is a star as always, he’s fun to read. And also part of the team comes to help Scott and protect Millie.

Anytime I read a new book in this series I think how Rebecca Zanetti can do better than the previous book, and I’m so happy about it.

I hope, if my sixth sense is good, that we’ll see more in the future about JT, he could be a good addition to the team…
