Breaking Silence

I held my breath frequently while reading this book. Nora and Rucker’s story was action packed . Between being kidnapped, delivering a baby to saving a group of orphans from the Taliban to watching two people fall in love I stayed up all night reading this book could not put it down. And I’ve already preordered the next book. Elle James is a great writer who keeps her readers engaged

ARC for honest review with no compensation Breaking Silence is book 1 in the new Delta Force Strong series by Elle James, well written romantic suspense and what a great start to this new series! Lt. Nora Michaels and Sergeant Rucker Sloan meet in Afghanistan, she is coming stateside in one week and he is on special ops but fate has more in store for these two than just two ships passing in the night...but because she is an officer and he is enlisted there is to be not fraternization but when she is kidnapped all bets are off. What happens next will keep you turning the pages...kidnapping, search and rescue, instant attraction, heart pounding suspense, lots of action and so much more.

I absolutely loved this book. The story line was about love, trust, and a little bit scary at times. The characters had to work together to make sure they survived what could have meant their lives. Elle James never fails to keep her fans reading and loving her books.

I loved Breaking Silence by Elle James, Book One in her new series Delta Force Strong. Nora is a nurse and an officer just finishing up her tour in Afghanistan; Rucker is enlisted, a sergeant, a Delta and his team is there for a short time on a mission; and yes, there is a no fraternization rule between officers and enlisted. Problem is, there is an immediate connection between the two of them. I love the way Elle brings their story along, dealing with the rules, and the reality of their being in a war zone and the dangers that brings with it. I couldn’t stop reading, there was no putting it down and coming back until I finished! Loved this book!

Rucker Sloan, Delta Force, is currently stationed in Afghanistan awaiting assignment when he wonders upon a sand volleyball game. As he watches, a pretty Lieutenant catches his eye. They are short a player, so when she asks him to join the game, he gladly accepts. After the game, he asks if she’d like to join him for a cup of coffee. She hesitates, but accepts anyway. There’s something about him that draws her in. Nora Michaels enlists in the Army after obtaining her nursing degree. Her mom passed away and she really doesn’t have a home, so she decided to enlist in order to help others. What she didn’t count on, was being hit on by ALL the men! When she meets Rucker, she thinks he’ll be like all the rest. When he proves her wrong, she’s immediately drawn to him. She knows he’s a man of his word and would do anything to save his brothers in arms. While in Afghanistan, Nora enjoys volunteering at the orphanage. She doesn’t think children are in her future, but she loves being able to help them. During her time at the orphanage, Nora and the orphans are kidnapped to be sold into trafficking. She knows it’ll take a miracle, but hopes Rucker and his team will be able to save them in time... LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this story!!! It’s an action-packed, suspenseful romance novel. In a race against the Taliban, Rucker and his team are given incorrect intel, lead into a trap, then assisted by a Taliban defect. Nora is strong, capable, and willing to risk her life to protect the children. I can’t wait for the second novel in this series. An Excellent start to the series! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Breaking Silence by Elle James 1st book in the Delta Force Strong series. Military romantic suspense. Quick pace. Packed with action and danger. Daring occupations. Strong, competent heroine. Protective hero. Forbidden romances are the most captivating? This one is charming and engaging. Nurse and Officer level Nora is leaving her current post in Afghanistan within a week. Meeting Delta Force Operative Rucker Sloan has her wishing maybe she could stick around a bit longer. But he’s only there for a specific assignment and there are rules against them fraternizing. She decides to just walk away. At least until his team member is in the hospital where he again runs into Nora. From there the chemistry cannot be denied. Danger has then working together and running from an enemy. I’m looking forward to reading the romances of the rest of this Delta team.

This is the first book in the Delta Force Strong series and it’s another winner for Elle James. Sgt Rucker Sloan is a Delta Force member who is in Afghanistan on assignment. Lt Nora Michaels is in Afghanistan as a nurse. Rucker Is an enlisted soldier and Nora is an officer. But when they meet on the volleyball court, sparks fly. But there’s a problem., she outranks him and fraternizing could cause a court martial. When Nora visits an orphanage, She is kidnapped with a group of orphans. Will Rucker and his men save the day? You have to read the book to find out. The characters are great and we get to meet Rucker’s whole team. Looking forward to reading the whole series.
