Book Review: Forged in Ember (Red-Hot SEALs #4) by Trish McCallan

Title:  Forged in Ember (Red-Hot SEALs #4) 

Author: Trish McCallan

Star: 3 1/2 

Review:
I didn't know this was part of a series not to mention the last book in the series.  To say I was lost is an understatement. The author catches readers up fast however that will still have new readers scratching their heads.

Putting the aside the story left me wonder and scratching my head many times. Amy just lost her husband and she is attracted to the seal team leader Jace "Mac" Mackenzie.  The Characters are developed enough. The over the top story will have readers needing to suspend their belief as they read this book.

The story moves quickly giving readers of the series books a satisfying ending but leaving this reader wondering the purpose of this series.  
I can identify with Amy as a mother and having a child put in danger and doing anything to keep them save and healthy.

Synopsis:
In the final novel in the scorching Red-Hot SEALs series, a desperate mother and a Navy SEAL fight fire with fire to protect their love and save the world…

Amy Chastain has made a lot of enemies—none so ruthless as the insanely powerful New Ruling Order (NRO). When they killed her husband, it was hell. Then they targeted her children by injecting them with a dangerous, experimental isotope. Now Amy trusts only one man to help her: the ex-commander of SEAL Team 7.

In the company of Navy SEALs, Jace “Mac” Mackenzie was in his physical element. Now he’s on the run from the same cabal that poisoned Amy’s children. That doesn’t stop him from launching a mission to bring down the NRO—and find an antidote. But the clock is ticking. And as the sparks fly between him and Amy, Mac realizes he has more to lose than ever before.

As Mac closes in on the NRO, he uncovers a plot that threatens more than Amy’s children. Now it’s a race against time to stop a global conspiracy, save the woman he loves, and protect the family that’s starting to feel like his.
