Review: Beyond the Limit

Book Review: Beyond the Limit, by Cindy Dees, 4 stars


 ✩✩


Navy SEAL Griffin Caldwell is not happy with his team's top-secret mission, training the first female SEALs. Griffin's determined to prove that that his trainee Sherri Tate—a former beauty queen no less—doesn't have what it takes to join the world's most elite warrior's club. Until he sees what she's capable of, and even this hard-nosed SEAL has to admit she's tough as nails. What he won't admit to is the attraction sizzling between them.
Navy media officer Sherri Tate is more than just a pretty face. When she's given the opportunity to achieve her dream of becoming a SEAL, she won't let anything stand in her way, not even her arrogant trainer, who is too sexy for words.
When a dangerous mission lands Sherri and Griffin in the cross hairs of the world's most feared terrorist, it's going to take everything they have to come out with their lives—and hearts—intact.

Review: Beyond the Limit is a great book if you love the genre. There's a lot of action, some suspense and a hot romance thrown in there too. 

The first part of of the story, though, is a bit disconcerting and, to be honest, not to my taste. The attraction between Griffin and Sherri seemed came on so quickly that it wasn't that much realistic. I much preferred the parts when they effectively had conversations and got to know each other. 



And Griffin's stereotypical view of women in the armed forces is, frankly, rude and outdated. In the end he relents, but just because Sherri managed to prove, with blood, sweat and tears - literally - that she could handle her training. 

The final part of the book, however, was really good and, as Beyond the Limit is the beginning of a new series, I will definitely be waiting for the next installment.   


Happy readings,
