Review "The Fox and the Hound by Wren Micheals"

Jayla “Fox” McFadden 'MacGyvered' her way through college and right onto the radar of the CIA. Instead of getting busted, she got offered a job. She's a chemist by day, but moonlights on special missions utilizing her unique talents when needed, everything from bomb building to booby traps. She's fought tooth and black-polished nail to make her way in the world and prove she's more than a set of tits. From her thick, black eyeliner to her Doc Martens with leather mini-skirts, she stands out, and likes it that way.

Noah “Hound” Kendrick is the best tracker on his SEAL team. Haunted by the fact that he got his mother killed, he put his body, mind, and soul into the SEALs in retribution, trying to make the world a better place. They are his duty and family now, nothing gets in the way. Especially love, as he refuses to open up his heart and lose someone at his expense ever again.

Jayla's latest mission is to retrieve a list of buyers from an arms dealer. She's teamed with the SEALs who must take out a bunker hidden offshore near the dealer's private island. But a squall line from an impending hurricane throws off their plans as Jayla and Noah get separated from the team, washing up on a deserted air force base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Now the Fox and the Hound must survive the elements and each other, as they ride out the physical and emotional storm heading their way.

Review:
I expected a kick ass story about a Navy SEAL and a CIA officer. We got the SEAL and the CIA officer but the story fell flat.

What is this book about:
This story is about Noah and Jayla. Noah is a navy seal and Jayla is a CIA officer. They meet at a mutual friends barbeque and they where attracted to each other but they didnt left things on good terms.
They didn't expect to see each other again so soon, and definitely not in the circumstances they find themselves in. You see Noah (aka the hound ) and Layla (the fox) have to work together to bring down a weapon dealer.

What did I like/love:
I liked the idea of the story. The side characters where oke. And I liked Noah. But thats about it.


What did I dislike/hate:
I really didn't like Jayla. She was so extra and borderline rude. It felt like she was trying to hard and her actions came across as forced.
Her actions on the mission really made me think why anyone would think she would make a good officer. She made some really stupid decisions.
For someone that hated that people judged her or made assumptions, she did it herself a whole lot.

The story fell flat for me. I expected more from the book and sadly it didn't deliver.

Rating:
1 1/2 I didn't like it stars
