He can protect anything except his heart
Leese Phelps’s road hasn’t been an easy one, but it’s brought him to the perfect job—working for the elite Body Armor security agency. And what his newest assignment lacks in size, she makes up for in fire and backbone. But being drawn to Catalina Nicholson is a dangerous complication, especially since it could be the very man who hired Leese who’s threatening her.
What Catalina knows could get her killed. But who’d believe the sordid truth about her powerful stepfather? Beyond Leese’s ripped body and brooding gaze is a man of impeccable honor. He’s the last person she expects to trust—and the first who’s ever made her feel safe. And he’s the only one who can help her expose a deadly secret, if they can just stay alive long enough…
I'm so excited to be reading and reviewing Under Pressure by Lori Foster, I have been a huge fan for years and love the beginning of every new series, but this book is a little different, as we have met Leese and Justice before in the Ultimate series.
In the year that Leese has left the MMA ring, he has become an elite bodyguard at thee Body Armor security come, owned and operated by the intriguing owner Sahara (whom I'm dying to know more about, and who murdered her brother!).
But Leese's assignment is to find and protect Catalina Nicholson, but things are not quite what they seem; so Leese does the only thing he can think of, and takes her back to the office. But Lesse and his team don't know who they are up against and Cat is keeping her mouth closed, in order to keep everyone safe! Only to have that back fire spectacularly!
So I went in to Under Pressure with no expectations at all, as I have learnt that you never quite know what the story is actually going to be about, you just know it's going to to excellent! And the author didn't disappoint. The writing was excellent and the plot (in my opinion) was thrilling and smooth and without plot holes.
When it comes to characters, you can't help but love Lease! I liked him in the ultimate series, but you honestly fall in love with him in Under Pressure. I was on the fence about Cat's character, but you soon grow to like her. The two people I was most intrigued about, we're Sahara and Enoch! Seriously, I need to know more about these two!
The book is fast paced, full of action and suspense and by the end of the book you are left breathless.
I give Under Pressure 5 stars!

“You do tempt me,” she
whispered, her smile in place. “I didn’t realize it was mutual though.”
“Now you do.” And maybe she’d be more
circumspect.
“Because I’m convenient?”
she asked. “Or somewhat—” her expression pinched “—desperate?”
The uncertainty twisted
his guts. He glanced at her mouth. “Because you’re hot.”
Her teeth bit into her
bottom lip. “You really think so?”
Intuitively knowing she
needed to hear it, he shared his thoughts. It wasn’t in the best interest of his
sanity, but he liked seeing her blush.
He especially liked the
way she looked at him.
“You, lady, are sexiness
in a very small, sweet package.”
“Usually I’m told I’m too
thin.”
Leese slowly shook his
head. “You have the right look and the right attitude to push all my buttons.”
Gifting him with that
cocky smile he admired, she opened her hands on his chest. “Mmm. I think I like
that.”
“What?”
“Pushing your buttons.”
Her fingers trailed up to his shoulders, then around his neck.
Leese started to lean down
when Justice knocked again.
Cat froze, then panicked.
“Oh my God. That’s Justice, right? I forgot all about him!” She pushed against
Leese, trying to slide free.
He wanted to groan.
In truth, he should thank
Justice for keeping him from doing anything insane. “Shh. Take it easy.” He
rolled to the side of her and watched her shoot off the bed, then make a mad
dash around to the bedroom.
Her ass looked really
nice as she did so.
After scrubbing both hands over his face,
Leese forced himself from
the bed and went to the door. He peeked out first.
Justice stood there
holding a tray with coffee and a basket of Danish pastries. Time to get the day
started.
Past time to work through the puzzle of
the current case: Catalina Nicholson.
