Debut Novel for J. B. Haven is a doozey

Core of Steel is a non stop action ride from the first page to the final one. Be a "Mic" is in charge of a Black Ops group . These ops are government stationed but if anything should happen the existence of Steel would be denied. Chris Jordon is the newbie soldier who is tired of carrying out orders that he knows won't be followed out, so when an opening becomes available he joins the Steel Corps group without hesitation. But there is an attraction between Mic and Jordon that they both know cannot occur. On a mission to South America, Bea is shot, which requires immediate, surgery because of infection. Due to the mission and a traitor in the group which leads an ambush whereas, leads to even more chemistry between the two. Great book and can't wait to read the next one.

I loved the story line and the interaction the between the team – you could really see they cared for each other. Can’t give too much away as I don’t want to spoil it for other readers.
There is humor mixed with action and some romance as well I can’t wait to see what happens with Steel Corps next.
Bea or ‘Mic’ is the leader of the of an elite group called Steel Corps. When the new recruit arrives Bea is given limited time to train him for their new mission.
This team certainly kicks ass with their training and missions. There is some chemistry between Mic and the new recruit Jordan, although without saying how that ends – it did keep me intrigued.
They find out their mission to retrieve an operative and things certainly don’t go as they had planned.

I loved this book from Chapter 1 on. I even think I developed a girl-crush on Bea 'Mic' Michaels. She's kick-ass and in charge of an elite and covert team of US soldiers. She holds her own and then some as the only female on the team of rough and tough men. But she still has her vulnerabilities...and only one man seems to be able to see past her masks to the real woman underneath. However, she is Chris Jordon's superior so they have to fight their mutual attraction to each other. This book was face paced and heart stopping at times. It does end with several questions unanswered, but I'm sure that Book 2 will pick up right where this one left off and I can't wait to get into it. This is an action packed suspense story with the unacted upon sexual tension as a backdrop. I highly recommend it. GI Jane, meet Mic....she's going to give you a run for your money!
