April Hunt “will keep you on the edge of your seat” with this heart-pounding romantic suspense novel of a military man and the one woman he can’t resist (Lori Foster, New York Times bestselling author).
Roman Steele learned a hard lesson about trusting others. While serving his country, he put his faith in the wrong person and lost a leg for his loyalty. So far, civilian life suits him — as long as he doesn’t have to deal with anyone. But when he’s called in to investigate a break-in at a high-security lab, he finds himself butting heads with the lead virologist, a woman as infuriating as she is beautiful.
When criminals break into Isabel Santiago’s lab and steal a deadly virus, she’s desperate to find the culprits before they turn her research into a weapon. But first, she must put her trust in the brooding security expert who sees danger around every corner. As she and Roman race to track down the culprits, these two unlikely partners find there’s more at stake for them than they ever imagined possible — but only if they stop the enemy in time.

Summary
Fatal Deception by April Hunt was an action packed romantic suspense. This was my first book by April. I truly enjoyed the storyline and the characters. My disappointment was the EXCESSIVE language. The F word was used over 150 times.
I really liked both of the main characters Roman and Isabel. The book is part of a series but I totally felt like it stood alone. Roman and his brothers have a security business. They are called in when a virus is stolen from Dr Isabel’s lab. Don’t be concerned that this will make you think of Covid. The story line was very different than real life.
Great chemistry between Roman and Isabel. The physical scenes are detailed.
I liked the comradery between the team members and would like to see King get his own story.
Sexual content - several physical scenes with details
Violence - someone is trying to kill people with a virus, kidnap Isabel, etc the violence was not disturbing to me
Drinking - there is a bar above their office;
lanaguage - over the top excessive profanity
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
