He lost her once. He won’t lose her again.
Despite an illustrious career as a top hostage negotiator, Joe Matarazzo is haunted by the past. It was a year ago that three innocent lives were lost under his watch. But Joe isn’t the only one who remembers that day. When Joe’s exes begin to fall victim to a violent stalker, Joe seeks the help of Laura Birchwood—a lawyer and the woman he once loved. Despite old wounds, Laura agrees to help Joe find out who’s framing him. And while they expect to be met with danger, they’re unprepared for passion that still burns strong, and their determination to give what was between them a second chance.

Summary
Overwhelming Force is a romantic suspense in the Harlequin Intrigue line. The story is full of action and an interesting storyline of someone killing Joe’s ex’es. Joe is a very skilled hostage negotiator. One of his events brings him in contact with Laura, one of his ex-girlfriends that he never got over.
Honestly I had a hard time liking Joe. He treated her badly when he broke up with her and I just couldn’t see how she was going to trust him in the future. He was too charming and could manipulate people which makes him a great hostage negotiator. I also didnt like that he didn't feel part of the team. I prefer the camaraderie of knowing your team has your back.
The book has great action and a good storyline though. It is part of the Omega Sector: Critical Response series and I plan to read more of them. I
I also loved the book cover. I may have selected the book on the book cover alone.
