Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iTunes / Google Play

Description:
Small town police officer Emma Ross loves her simple life––but it takes a hard turn into crazy when she’s kidnapped by MI6 and is put under the protection of an over-bearing, albeit sexy, Scotsman. A man who believes she’s lying to protect her father—a father whom she had no idea worked for British Intelligence and is now missing.  Liam Macknight’s partner was assassinated and he’s certain Emma’s father had something to do with it. But the stubborn woman isn’t talking, and she’s determined to get herself killed trying to find out the truth. Locking her in a room does no good––he tried that. So he’s forced to work with her, even if he’s not sure he’ll ever be able to trust her. When he’s assigned to kill her dad to protect the identity of British spies in the Kremlin, he knows what little trust they’ve gained is about to be destroyed forever…

Review:

London Calling by Veronica Forand is intense, fast paced and full of action. This book reminded me of the mission impossible movies. 

Emma is a small town policewoman, she loves it, she knows everyone and she’s good at her job.  She gets a call about her dad, so she rushes to the UK; where she is then held by MI6 !!! Why ???   (Emma doesn’t realize her father was working for the British government, and is now missing) 

Liam doesn’t trust Emma, his partner was killed and Liam thinks Emma’s father had a hand in it (and he is convinced she knows more than she is letting on).  H e does admire her spirit and loyalty, but it won’t stop him from finding Emma’s father. Even if he has to “pretend” that he REALLY likes Emma.  But what happens when Liam actually starts to fall for her ?? And when he’s ordered to kill her father…. That’s not going to help the situation. 

I didn’t really get the connection between Emma and Liam, it did feel a little stilted in places (didn’t miss the sex either, the action more than made up for the absence of “action” in the bedroom)

London Falling was very well written. I would happily watch this as an action movie. It was very descriptive and I loved reading the action scenes (even if they were a little unbelievable) 

I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes action and just a little romance .
