My code name is Libra. The stars say I’m charismatic, intelligent, charming.
The one with the easy smile.
Zodiac Tactical has been the biggest part of my life for the past three years. We guard, protect, rescue...eliminate the threat when nobody else can. And I’ve always been at the front lines—first to help in whatever way was needed.
Until I took a bullet to the chest.
Now everybody’s worried about me. So I’m sent on what’s supposed to be an easy mission—gathering intel about some potential bad guys while on a tropical island for a wedding. Lay low, blend in, catch a little tan while getting the job done. Can’t be too hard.
Until I defend the bride’s adorable sister against some cruel cattiness and the next thing I know I’m mentioning I’m her fiancé.
Surprise.
When the mission takes a turn for the much more dangerous, and my fiancée finds herself in the middle of it, I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. My wounds may have knocked me down, but a Navy SEAL, even former one with a couple extra bullet holes, always gets back up.
My code name is Libra. Don’t let the easy smile fool you.
Code Name Libra continues the Zodiac Tactical series, which I am really enjoying! I love that this one includes a fake relationship trope as well as the danger. The chemistry was great as well, and I feel like that piece has been missing in some of my recent reads. Landon is a great hero and Bethany is a perfect heroine. This book just worked for me in every way.
Landon is recovered from an injury and getting back to work with a tropical island wedding gig! Sounds like a dream right? But, he is quick to swoop in and defend our heroine from her caustic family. He is really swoon worthy for sure!
If you like danger with your romance, this series is great and Libra really continues that. This book brings in the family drama dynamic and our heroine has to deal with an unsupportive mother and a witch of a cousin. But, Landon sweeps in and saves her in perfect ways. The story is a bit of a slow burn, which I typically don’t enjoy. This story just WORKS. Honestly, the whole series has been a delight and I cannot recommend it enough!
