Abused wife, Jill Thompson knows she has to get out of her bad marriage. Like yesterday. With no money, no job and no friends, this small town girl canât find a safe harbor. But when she sees a news report that The Program, a US military base, is seeking women to be matches for their genetically enhanced soldiers, she sees her opportunity. If she is lucky enough to be a match, her snake-mean husband, Jack, wonât be able to find her, let alone hurt her ever again.
Rowan Blacker, is the only soldier of his cohort to request a breed match. Heâs the newest soldier on campus and thanks to his genetic defect, he feels like an outcast. Matching and breeding with a woman will help him fit in with the team. Unfortunately Rowanâs match is nothing like the sexy, fun woman he was hoping to romance. The woman they claim is his perfect DNA match, is a scared shell of a woman carrying a trunkful of emotional baggage. Against their better judgment, they move in together and as Jill shakes off the shackles of abuse, their attraction ignites.
Sara's Review
From the beginning of the book, I found Jill to be a very sympathetic character. Her husband controlled every element of her life, and made her dependent on him for everything. There were a lot of times in the story when I wanted to slap Jack â her husband. Watching Jill's transformation from the beginning of the book to the end was one of my favorite aspects of the story line, and she was a character that I found easy to cheer for. On the other hand, there were times when, as a reader, I found myself thinking she could have been a little more forthcoming about certain things, but knowing what I knew, I think I can understand her hesitance.
Rowan, a soldier at The Program, was facing handicaps of his own. He was born without one arm, and initially, the two are a little distant, with neither one sure they're actually right for one another. Over time, a relationship develops between the two of them, and things do eventually heat up. Once that happened, I thought they made a great couple. I also liked a lot of the secondary characters, and Xander in particular, along with Chase.
This is a book I'd recommend to those who enjoy contemporary/military romance. My rating is 4/5 platypires.
Engineered with superior strength, agility and acumen, the genetically enhanced soldiers of the top secret Program do the dangerous assignments no one else can. Now, theyâre tasked with one additional job. Breed.
But finding and convincing their perfect DNA match they are the right men for the job may be their most dangerous mission to date. And the hottest. Good thing, theyâre Coded for Love.
