BOOK REVIEW- SCORPIUS RISING by Rebecca Zanetti

For Nora Medina it started when she was yanked off a gorgeous Hawaiian beach, still in her bikini top, and onto her ex-husband’s government jet. A microbiologist doesn’t see a lot of emergency extractions, but marriage to Deacan Devlin McDougall taught her plenty about adrenaline. Nora knows it’s more than their unfinished business that has brought the sexy, maddening Scot back into her life. But she’d never have guessed this.

As a soldier of fortune, Deke has seen too much by any standards. But the terrifying bacterium sneaking through the highest halls of power isn’t his kind of battle. All he can do is keep close to his brilliant, fiery Nora and fight like hell to keep her safe. Because if he lets her get sucked down by the horror that’s coming, he’ll never get another chance at her heart . . .  AMAZON 4.5 STARS

I really liked this book and it was unexpected in several ways.  Even the start of the book has you wondering what in the heck is going on.  With the start of Nora being snatched rather rudely from vacation and escorted onto several different planes.  She was given no explanations at all and that wasn't sitting to well with her.  Armed military men or no, her fiery temper is about to take off.   And it doesn't calm down much when she finds out her ex is behind it.  It was a really good start to the book I thought.  
But that is only the beginning and it gets even better as time goes on.  Their personal story was good but the bacteria that they were fighting was also a good but often sad part of the story.  
I have to add that this story is an adult one and probably better for those 18+ and up.
I couldn't believe how Nora's genius assistant Zach did such a klutzy move.  But it was an important part of the story that propelled it forward.  
Nora and Deke were both interesting people and have their H.E.A. for now.  I surprised myself by giving this book a pretty high rating for one that doesn't solve the main problem.  But it did keep me on the edge of my seat more than once.
This is the first book that I think I've read by this author but I think I'll poke around and see what else she has written.
