Breaking Point by Pamela Clare

Wow, it's been 7 years since I've last visited this book and the distance just made revisiting the audio version feel like the best mix of reconnecting with a treasured friend and experiencing all the thrills of a new story. I still totally adore Zach and Natalie, and can respect their histories and struggles a bit better/differently. The way Natalie cared for Zach and pushed him to get out of the darkness he was trapped in (which also helped her some) was beautiful. And I adored Zach's protectiveness and way he took care of Natalie from the moment they met. Then add in getting to see alot of Marc (my tied as top fav iteam hero) and the rest of the crew and the fun they bring to the table, and this book still reigns as a treasure!

2013 review
Pamela Clare is one of my top favorite authors! Every story she creates she sucks me in and holds me tight! I don't think she could possibly write a book I didn't love!!

Zach and Natalie's story is one of my favorites in this whole series. The trials and journey these two went through to find each other and keep each other is amazing and hard and beautiful!

So many other reviews detail the story better - but I just had to share my love for Pamela's story!!!

Dead By Midnight: An I-Team Christmas by Pamela Clare

2019 Dec reread (audio)
Still breathstealingly amazing.
Everything from warm feel goods to have-to-stop-because-I'm-crying moments.
This almost needs to become a Christmas tradition just like Die Hard is one. Haha!

And just to say, it's been years since I've read the Iteam books and I still love the characters so much. They're still with me.

=======

So I really struggled with starting Death By Midnight right away. I didn't want the book to end, I knew once I got started I wouldn't want to stop reading it, I know how much blood, sweat and tears Pamela Clare and her crew put into it, and I wanted to honor that amount of time and work and not have my part of it rushed. So I downloaded it yesterday and walked away. Went to bed late and figured with it being so late, I'd skip reading.... Then changed my mind, and cracked open my Kindle and eyed Marc's cover.... And tapped... And the rest is history!!

This is such a beautiful story that sucked me in and delivered all the feels!! I was laughing, I was crying, I was hiding under the covers in fear, and I was turning the fan up higher to cool down (whew, did it get hot!!)!!

I love Marc (oh my goodness!!) and his Sprite (they're still my top fav couple, with Zach and Natalie being right behind them), and of course the rest of the gang!! I enjoyed every moment of catching up with everyone and seeing the connection and bonds they've built. This novella is an absolutely totally perfect way to end this series! Perfect high note!

Someone said this was like ITEAM meets Die Hard - and I totally agree!!

So even though the book ended too quickly for me, I'll be rereading this story often! Now that is even more a compliment to an author!!

The cameo appearance of Kaylea Cross's HRT guys was a blast!

Skin Deep by Pamela Clare

(I-Team, #5.5)

Pamela Clare is one of my top favorite authors! Every story she creates she sucks me in and holds me tight! I don't think she could possibly write a book I didn't love!!

Nate and Megan's story is one of the sweetest and more beautiful stories in this series. Watching how they turn to each other and help heal each other's brokenness is beautiful and so deeply touching!

And the fun little short story at the end (Beer Run!) is a hoot!

Unlawful Contact by Pamela Clare

(I-Team, #3)

Pamela Clare is one of my top favorite authors! Every story she creates she sucks me in and holds me tight! I don't think she could possibly write a book I didn't love!!

Marc and Sophie. Hunt and Sprite. This book was the first PC story I read and I fell head over heels for Marc. Even though I love and adore each of Pamela's stories, Hunt and Sprite are my top favs. Period. End of story! haha! Pamela wrote one of the most beautiful and perfect prologues ever and the story just kept getting better and better! I was trapped inside this world and didn't want to leave!! The trials and journey these two experienced to keep each other was amazing and hard and beautiful!

First Strike by Pamela Clare

 (I-Team, #5.9)

Pamela Clare is one of my top favorite authors! Every story she creates she sucks me in and holds me tight! I don't think she could possibly write a book I didn't love!!

Definitely want to read this before (and after) reading Striking Distance. This is the extended prequel that sets up Javi and Laura's relationship.

Be prepared either with a fan or some ice cause this is one HOT story! Love how Pamela pushed her boundaries here but yet kept it true to her. And the heart-breaking emotions at the end - wow!!!

Striking Distance by Pamela Clare

(I-Team, #6)

Javier and Laura's story definitely ties as a favorite in the series! The trials and journey these two went through to find each other and keep each other is amazing and heartbreaking and beautiful! There's things in this story that many people had issues with **SPOILER**Laura having and giving up her baby and then not having any more children with Javi.*** but I understood and even loved and appreciated!

You definitely want to read First Strike before (and after) reading this book. First Strike is the extended prequel that sets up Javi and Laura's relationship.
