Sterling Files

Brian Steele has been different all of his life. At the age of thirteen, he was already 6 feet tall and looked like an adult. Brian has supernatural strength and is impervious to pain. His father has trained him as a fighter. It really wasn't fair to his opponents since no punch they threw at him could hurt him. He had to learn restraint at an early age, otherwise he would have left a trail of dead bodies in the ring. His life changes when his father, in a fit of rage, sells him to William Murdock. Brian expects to be put back in the ring, but that is not Murdock's intention. He is part of a secret government agency and Brian's new life is about to begin Twenty years later, Marla Rivers comes out of a year long coma with new special talents. She can't control them; they control her. All she wants is to start living again. The day she is released from the hospital, two men from the Siren Corporation show up at her home. They want Marla to consent to let them study her new abilities. They make it plain that with or without her permission, she is coming with them. Marla is on the verge of being kidnapped when Brian Steele makes an appearance. Steele has been sent to protect Marla, and none too soon. Steele is part of the Sterling group, a government research agency. They study people with all types of unique and special gifts. Their mission is to help those with talents to understand and control them. He is the muscle and bodyguard for the agency. His new assignment is to protect Marla and help her adjust to her new gifts. He never expected to be attracted to her. Steele has always kept himself apart from others, especially women. He has always been wary of hurting a woman with his brute strength. Marla is so fragile after her coma. She needs some one to be her protector, not her lover. He doesn't realize that Marla has other ideas. Ideas that will put his will power to the test! Steele by Sherri L. King is a great beginning to the new series, Sterling Files. Steele may be stronger than anyone else on earth, but he also has a tender heart. His tender care of Marla reveals his softer side. Marla may be a little fragile right now, but she knows what she wants. Her coma stole one year of her life and she isn't willing to left life pass her by. The chemistry between Steele and Marla is like dynamite with a lit fuse. There is no stopping it! I can't wait until the next book in the series. I highly recommend Steele and the new Sterling Files Series. Delia reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
