Heart Burn: Deep Six East Book 1 Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 154 ratings

What do Italian food and Italian women have in common? They both give Dante Girabaldi heart burn and, with the exception of his mother, he vows to avoid them at all costs. That becomes impossible when the former military pilot and FBI agent's first assignment with Deep Six East is to protect Prada D'Angelo, the Italian Ambassador of Women's Affairs to the U.S.

Straight off the runways of Milan, the gorgeous former model and TV star turned politician has accumulated a string of enemies which includes politicians, a billionaire media mogul and even a prince. Her father wants her protected, but Prada tells him right away she is not going to let him, or idle threats, slow her down. Dante quickly sees she isn't going to let the threats shut her beautiful mouth either and before he knows it, he is working double time to keep her safe while his team figures out who wants her kidnapped or dead.

A trip to Italy may give Dante the answers he seeks, but it will also bring Prada face-to-angelic-face with her enemies. Can he keep her safe in the most romantic, but dangerous, place in the world? Or will the magic of amore distract him and get them both killed?

The Deep Six Team has arrived on the East Coast, and this first book definitely made my heart burn! From the heat between Dante and Prada and the non-stop, intense, suspenseful action to Dante's wonderful Italian family and a new security team with growing pains, I felt every bit of this wild, exciting ride right in the center of my heart.

If you’ve read any of the Deep Six books, you'll love this latest from these hot, alpha protectors. And if you haven't, but you like military romance similar to Maya Banks, Kaylea Cross and Lynne Rae Harris, these heroes are right up your alley. I love all of the Deep Six guys and their amazing gals, but I was really tickled to see my favorite couple, Griff and Lou Ellen from Silent Knight, make an appearance in this book.

Although Dante and Prada are more of a match made in a fireworks factory than a match made in heaven, their story had me grinning in anticipation from the very first page. They both have some baggage, but what’s a trip on the road to an HEA without luggage? And Dante had his heart eviscerated by an Italian love long ago, so he's permanently sworn off amore, but that only makes his journey with Prada all the more delicious.

Grab your copy and read your way through this fantastic journey with Dante and Prada. She's strong, independent, spirited and stubborn and he's, well, you got the alpha protector part, right? Dante is tasked with personal protection for Prada and she's just not having it, trying to fire him numerous times after clashes and head butts, until the truth hits way too close and she realizes her life is truly in danger. Both are staunchly, firmly against anything love related, until they aren't. But don’t be fooled. Just because their hearts begin to thaw doesn’t lessen the fireworks between them or the danger they repeatedly find themselves in. This is a phenomenal, riveting, steamy, heartfelt read that you won’t want to miss!

HELLO Dante!!! It is so good to see you again. Oh My how I loved drooling over Dante in this first in a new series. What a wonderful way for the author to start a spin-off series of Deep Six Security. I fell in love with him in Gray Matters, Deep Six Security book 5. Payback is beautiful for what he did to Grayson.

For those who aren't familiar with this mega drool worthy hunk, he is an ex army pilot and Army Ranger. He has just lost his job with the FBI thanks to what happened in Gray Matter. Deep Six is his last chance at civilian life and he is about to risk everything.

The Italian Stallion has just been assigned to protect the one Italian women that is more stubborn than his sister Micki. Prada is in the US as an Italian Ambassador, far from home her life is threatened. She refused to believe the evidence. She refuses the protection. She will stop at nothing to get away but she can't run away from her heart. Denial. Denial. Denial.

She is soon back home with a protection detail and investigators. Her problems started in Italy. She back in Italy to end them. She has solutions. She has a goal. She is clueless to reality. Making it worse; she doesn't share her thoughts. Stubbornness can get her and the team killed.

What happens when greed, the mafia and a determined female cross paths? You have an exciting thriller. Suspense riddles the pages. Bullets fly. High speed driving will have you wishing you had your seatbelt on or a barf bag close by. Hearts break. And all of this excitement is packed into Heartburn.

I am off to find some Tiramisu to help settle my shaken nerves.

Not as good as the other books in the series, but still a great read.

And all he has to do is his job—save Prada’s life. Ms. McGraw has crafted an action-packed, suspense-filled thriller to delight and entertain.

I have read all of Becky's books and the Deep Six series is one of my favorites and now so is the Deep Six East Series. Dante and Prada are both strong Italian characters with amazing chemistry. The action, suspense and romance was so good that I could not put this book down until I finished it! I definitely recommend this book, the entire Deep Six books and any others by this author. I can't wait to read about Jaxson and Fallon's story in the next book, Hard Truth (book 2 of the Deep Six East Series)!

OMG! This story has many facets to it. It is hilarious in some of the chapters as well as heart-stopping as Dante is given the assignment to protect the very stubborn woman, Prada. Dante thought he was over Italian women but Prada proved she was worth his love. How they finally got their happily ever after was an edge of your seat adventure with a slight heartbreak towards the end until Prada found out her wish came through. I am happy these two found their happily ever after! FANTASTIC job Becky! I would highly recommend this book.
