4 stars 

Holding Fire is the second title in the Alpha Security Series, and is a fast paced romantic suspense with elements of action, intrigue, suspense and drama. Although this title can be read as a standalone the characters that feature in the first title appear throughout this book, and it's nice to understand their backstory. 

I thoroughly enjoyed Holding Fire, and found the characters to be complex, dynamic and endearing.   Holding Fire has everything I look for in a romantic suspense, heat, steam and a strong alpha, and just as strong feisty and sassy heroine.  This story line is sexy, fun and suspenseful. 

Trey is the hero an alpha through and through, former military, strong, handsome and used to having his directives followed.  Elle is strong, sassy and feisty and desperate for her independence.  I loved the strong chemistry and connection between this pair, it's quite believable and the love scenes are quite hot and steamy. 

I enjoyed the first book in this series, but in my mind the author has developed and this book is better, whilst still not a completely unique story line, it is fun and entertaining and the twists and turns kept me engaged and turning the pages until the very end. 

The secondary characters are fabulous, not only adding depth to the story line, but also elements of humor that had me laughing out loud.  I really look forward to the next additional titles in this series, to see the other members of Alpha Security find their happy ever after.
