Project Terminal: Devil's Virus by Olivia Starke
Max must put old heartaches aside and trust Reed to help her while she develops the cure for the devil's virus.
Dr. Maxwell Straight once committed her life to sparing families the pain of losing loved ones in war. While she had the best intentions for her role in Project Terminal, her twin sister, Dr. Marguerite 'Doc' Straight, had different ideas. When Max suggested using a deadly virus to help speed healing to super soldiers injured in the field, her sister turned it into a horrific weapon of mass destruction instead. Now Max must trust a man who broke her heart to keep her safe while she develops a cure for what she started.
Adam 'Preacher' Reed saw what was coming in Project Terminal long before anyone else. When his warnings fell on deaf ears he turned away from the project, and Max, for good. He'd given his body to science, but he wouldn't sell his soul. Now Max needs his help to stop the spread of the undead plague, and he'll do anything to see the project fall. What he doesn't count on are the feelings he still holds for the scientist who chose her twisted work over him. Can he keep Max alive long enough to develop the cure? Or will his worst fears be realized—losing his heart to Max, and their lives to the project?

Reed growled, lifting her from her feet. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he sat her on a lab table. The cold metal top chilled her as he stepped back. His eyes burned a trail down her torso. He leaned in, bracing his hands on each side of her hips, trapping her between. He stared into her eyes.
"This is a serious complication, Max." The words sounded forced.
Max had to clear her throat. "It will definitely get in the way."
"We need to stop right now."
"Yes, we do." She hung suspended, both fearing he'd move in or back off. Neither option seemed satisfactory with the war going on between head, heart, and loins.
"Max, I—"
A huge crash reverberated through the room, shocking a scream from her lungs. Reed whirled toward the noise, bracing his feet wide. Raspy breathing sounded from down the hallway, and Max's heart thundered.
"What the hell is that?" she whispered.
Footfalls slapped down the hall, bare feet hitting the tile flooring. Max held her breath, unsure what to do while Reed dove for his rifle. The undead appeared in the doorway, the sad remains of a woman. Her mouth hung agape, foam dripping from her lips. Reed aimed, but it ducked down, disappearing behind the rows of tables.
"Damn it." Reed jumped on a table and shot Max a glance. "Stay where you are."
Max stood on the table, searching the murky corners. The thing's breathing echoed, making the woman impossible to pinpoint. Reed jumped tabletop to tabletop, keeping his rifle trained on the floor. It seemed the undead was more clever than Max realized, keeping just out of sight. She searched for a weapon, feeling defenseless and useless to provide assistance. Nothing handy presented itself beyond a few microscopes within reach. She focused on Reed who didn't look the least bit panicked. He moved silently without any wasted movement. He paused, and fired, the loud pop making her jump. She heard the scraping of nails on the tile and Reed shot again. All fell silent.

MY REVIEW
Project Terminal: Devil's Virus by Olivia StarkeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great second book in the series!!! Loads more story here and so much suspense!!! I wanted it to be longer!
Max is fabulous even if she was a touch misguided in making the virus. She really worked hard to make up for things. She was very driven but I liked her feisty attitude!
Adam is a great character but I had to get over his leaving the woman he loved. I prefer the caveman approach. He definitely made things work a redeemed things in the end.
The story is moving along quite nicely. It has a great pace and I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next!!!
The steam here is uber hot and heavy!!! Serious cold shower inducing scenes!! Yummy soldier man makes for some smexy lovin!!!!
Hurry up with the next book Ms Starke!!!! And I would not mind it being a touch longer!!!!

MY REVIEW
Project Terminal: Legacy by Olivia StarkeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A really great quick read. The Scifi elements are not too heavy and it is easy to follow. Very enjoyable all around!
Laura is an awesome character! I love a feisty gal who can rescue herself! She really kicks butt and refuses to be left behind twiddling her thumbs!
Damian is a delicious Alpha soldier who is hard to resist!!! He is willing to let his gal fight beside him and doesn't hold her back!!
Their romance is rather quick but extreme situations do that. The chemistry is instant and the developing feelings were very believable.
Plenty of intrigue and adventure here. The pace of the story is fast but details are never lost. Even with the short length you get a lot of bang for your buck!
The steamy factor here is spicy as all get out!!! Those Alpha guys really know how to help a girl shower and anytime you break the bed things must have gone well!!! Sign me up please!!!
I can not wait to read what happens next in the series!! And Ms Starke is definitely one for my stalking, um that is...following list!

About the Author:
Olivia Starke calls the Ozarks home. One of the most beautiful areas in the country, she loves hiking trails with her dogs, kayaking on the numerous waterways, and enjoying southern Missouri's fresh air and sunshine.
She's also 'Mom' to four dogs, a growing number of kitties that show up at her door, and four VERY spoiled horses that do little to earn their keep. Not that she'd ever hold that against them.
She's a HUGE fangirl of Doctor Who and to a lesser extent Supernatural, and has a pretty interesting love triangle (or square?) going on in her head between the Doctor and the Winchesters.
