Description

Marine veteran Maddy Jeffers never expected her most demanding and daunting mission would come off the battlefield. Ordered to infiltrate a Seattle terrorist cell, Maddy must pose as a loving wife to Major Hunter Hines. The undercover role begins to feel all too real when Maddy falls hard for the rugged, macho Marine.

Duty and discipline are Hunter Hines’s credo, guiding every decision and every action. But constant proximity with the fierce and enticing Maddy is veering his mission wildly off course. Although their role as man and wife is only pretend, there is nothing false about his out-of-control desire for his partner.

When Maddy’s life is threatened by an ISIS cell, protecting her becomes the only mission that matters, and Hunter is willing to break all the rules to save her. As the danger heats up around these two veteran heroes, Maddy and Hunter must walk a narrow path between passion and survival.

Advance Praise

“Fast paced, engaging with action, suspense, passion and romance.”  – Veronica M., Amazon Review

“Sexy, Sweet and Suspenseful…What a great combination! Jacki Delecki brings the heat and action with MARRIAGE UNDER FIRE, a short novella in the Grayce Walters Series … A great read for those who enjoy a light suspense with military going undercover, and those marines (yes, Maddy is a marine), are pretending to be a married couple, and yes, they both have feelings for each other…definitely makes for an emotional read! I loved the interaction between Hunter and Maddy, the push and pull, the do I, don’t I, definitely kept me on my toes right along with the suspense. MARRIAGE UNDER FIRE is a great jump into the Grayce Walters series!”  – A Tasty Read Book Reviews, Goodreads

“Oh have I got another hot story for you! MARRIAGE UNDER FIRE by Jacki Delecki is terrific from beginning to end… I loved this story. I loved the interaction between Maddy and Hunter, the way they sniped at one another when they weren’t in a PDA. I loved how well they could work together as a team and how Jacki economized on time by creating larger scenes in smaller spaces and less dialog and more summarizing of events and I loved the twist. Most of all, I was sad when it ended and that is always a sign of a good book. I hope we get to read more about Maddy and Hunter. Now I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! Totally 5 Stars!”  – Liberty Ann I., Goodreads

A short and sweet read with some action sprinkles to spice it up, this was a book that I definitely enjoyed reading even though it is not a book that will stay with me.
This book concentrates on Maddy and Hunter and their very fast developing relationship and not on the frame story of them working undercover while infiltrating a terrorist cell.
Some minor inconsistencies and a somewhat rushed story but nevertheless a nice read due to the characters and their interactions. If you are looking for a story full of suspense and action, this might not be the right book for you but if you are okay with a sweet love story (with some not that sweet content though) spiced with elements of action and suspense, this is your book.

This is part of the Grayce Walters Mystery series but can be read as a standalone, although mention is made to events outwith the book, there is enough information given for me to fill in the blanks. I tend to read series out of order, whether by accident or design I don't know!

Maddy Jeffers & Hunter Hines are both serving Marines. They have a passing acquaintance prior to this book as Maddy is friends with Hunter's sister. But having just come off a mission together, they are stuck right back in the line of fire, this time though they have to act as a married couple.

They certainly didn't need any help in the passion department to act as newly weds, their slow burn of attraction has been bubbling for a while and now they are both given the chance to explore it. But both are very conscious that the mission comes first.

Great tightly wound story, characters to empathise with and a tangible danger for them to deal with.

In a short novel that takes place in Seattle, two Marines who just worked an undercover case have to jump right into the next one, pretending to be married in order to infiltrate a spy ring.
She’d be absolutely fantastic if she could dump some of the testosterone she forces on herself to deal with the men. Him I simply didn’t like at all, but I can’t say he’s all that different from most Marines I’ve known.
The whole denouement hinges on him being so in love that he forgets his training and rushes in without waiting for backup. As a former Marine, I find that far-fetched. I would almost say it ruined the book for me, but the truth is I wasn’t feeling it anyway. It couldn’t decide whether it was a spy thriller or a romance, and those two parts didn’t mesh all that well.
2.5 pushed up to 3/5

Marriage Under Fire is a quick, sexy story. Maddy Jeffers and Hunter Hines are two marines who have to pose as husband and wife. Sparks ignite and the romance is on from the start. Will they become man and wife for real? Read to find out. It's a well-written and good story.
