First Strike by Pamela Clare

3.0

 First Strike is the novella that is a prequel to Striking Distance which I had already read but surprisingly I hadn't read First Strike. I think because when I first read Striking Distance which was years ago I wasn't very big into novellas at the time and I just couldn't get into it at all or very rarely and I think if I had read it years ago I wouldn't have liked it very much. But I do appreciate what the author was doing with this novella as we get to see their first meeting before Laura gets kidnapped when they originally meet in the middle east and have a forbidden fling of sorts. I found the premise very interesting, and when I say it being forbidden, I mean literally they could be killed its so forbidden lol I am not sure how sex is worth that to be honest. It was kinda unbelievable at times because I just couldn't get on board with how unlikely this would be to happen. 

Overall I found First Strike to be interesting and I did get drawn into seeing what connected them in the beginning and added depth to the series for me.
