Show No Fear by Marliss Melton

Lucy Donovan has been on paper work duty for the last 10 months due to her Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, being a captive and tortured in Venezuela was not on the list of highlights in her career as a CIA agent. That day changed her life for a number of reasons, one of which was her savior, James Atwater, her ex-boyfriend; now a Navy SEAL.

James Atwater now goes by Gus, he is a Navy SEAL Lieutenant, and has always kept tabs on where and what Lucy was doing. Now he and Lucy will be put on a mission together, but keeping tabs will be just as hard because Lucy is not used to teamwork, and Gus will do whatever it takes to complete the mission and keep his “wife” safe. The Columbians and the FARC are smarter than they appear, but not smart enough to try and kill a SEAL and a CIA agent that were sent undercover to retrieve 2 agents that were held captive.

Lucy must learn to trust Gus with her life, and with her heart. Gus never gives up and lets Lucy know that he has never stopped loving her. When the two come together in lust, it will evolve into something that scares the daylights out of Lucy… she may be strong, but is she strong enough to let herself be free?

Show No Fear by Marliss Melton is another in her SEAL series, I think this is #7 in the series but don’t hold me to that, this is the first of her books that I’ve had the pleasure to read. It was extremely well written, detailed, and very real. I can tell that a lot of research was put into this book. I do think that reading Show No Fear, before any of the others would be a mistake, yes it could stand alone in a Lucy and Gus sort of way, but the terminology sometimes makes me feel lost. Like I’ve missed too much in the books to completely connect. A glossary of the abbreviations would have been nice to have, or I could just start back on her first book in the series. 4 Hearts
