4.5 Stars!Grace Grainger and Josh Travers meet in the bar of a D.C. hotel; two strangers looking for just one night of passion to help them forget. Fast-forward to three years later and Grace, a journalist embedded with US troops in Afghanistan, is in need of rescue when the troops she is on patrol with get attacked.Riding to the rescue is Josh, a pararescuer. Josh does not like reporters, considers them leeches and backstabbers so imagine his shock when the reporter he has to rescue is the one woman who has been on his mind for the last three years! Grace is definitely no shrinking violet. She has spent a lot of time covering the wars and she can definitely hold her own with Josh. She is smart and bold and goes after what she wants – in this case Josh – with single-minded purpose.Dangerous Territory is a great beginning to the Alpha Ops series.I was sucked in from the first page and could not put the book down until the end. There was a lot of fast and intense action and the pace was steady all the way. Grace and Josh had a ton of chemistry in bed and out of it. I had a smile on face the entire time I was reading and could not wait to read more from Emmy Curtis.The quality of the writing is astounding for a debut author. Emmy Curtis obviously did her research because the military aspects were very detailed and so vivid I felt like the scenes were playing out like a movie reel in my mind’s eye as I read. I purchased this book based on a recommendation and I am really glad I did. Dangerous Territory is an intriguing and exciting romance that takes you into the heart of the war in Afghanistan and into the heat of battle. Grace Grainger is a journalist and a very good one. She chooses to spend her time reporting on the lives of those who defend their country, living with them, much like her own tour of duty and is actually "embedded" into the team she is with. Air Force Master Sergeant Josh Travers is a Pararescue Jumper and has done more than his share of tours overseas. Both of them fantasize about the hot night they had with a stranger several years in the past, and both find themselves very surprised when in the heat of battle, the Pararescuer that comes to save the group Grace is with is the same hottie she got nasty with 3 years ago. Thrown together in the middle of Afghanistan, the chemistry between these two is undeniably electric, despite the circumstances they find themselves in. Then, there is the fact that Josh "hates" reporters, which presents a different problem. The danger, drama, and romance in Dangerous Territory will keep you on the edge of your seat, while you fan your face from the heat that isn't even coming from the desert. I enjoyed this military romantic suspense story, which is something different that I usually don't read, and was a very welcome change that I enjoyed. I look forward to following this series to see what Emmy Curtis has in store for her readers next.
