About the book:
The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack! Join Godiva Randall, the beautiful daughter of a powerful politician, as she puts her paratrooper unit’s motto to the test. A delicate truce on Hoarfrost’s icy moon is about to explode, and blood will be spilled. This is the moment Lupine Corps has trained for—combat against a nightmarish alien foe, light-years from home.
But Godiva and her best friend, Dash Collingwood, are secretly in love. All mixed-gender combat units must take Celiba-C—a pill that suppresses sexuality—under threat of court-martial. Its performance record is amazing. The military swears by it. But it’s a lonely war so far from home. What if they skipped a dose, just this once? One night for themselves. What’s the worst that could happen?
Quotes:
Excerpt:
"Godiva was thrown into a pack of those bastard Hoarfrosts, and our so-called brothers did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just stood there waiting for an order that didn’t need giving in the first place. ‘Oh yeah, right, men—one of us is being murdered—I have to remind you that that’s not a good thing.’ It’s insane, that’s what. Someone, somewhere, gave instructions for us not to provoke an incident. But the truth is we didn’t. Those huge sons of bitches did! They wanted us to open fire so they’d have an excuse to slaughter us. They practically bullied us into a corner."

| Penny Ehrenkranz | "Godiva in the Firing Line is an interesting mix of science fiction, soft romance, and hard-core war." |
