She is the key to his past, present, and future… She just buried her husband next to her fiancé who was killed in an explosion while they were on a mission together ten years ago.

Book Reviews:
RATING: Overall – 5 out of 5 Stars
If you want to buy a collection of books in a box set, this is the one to get. This grouping of 8 full length stories will keep you turning the pages with hot alpha ex-military heroes, the women they fall for and the diverse suspense plots that brings them together. All of the stories have explicit sex scenes that are all well written and I felt they were never gratuitous. I now have so many more authors and series to add to my TBR!
Tuff Enough by Samantha A. Cole
Jason “Tuff” Tanner works for Blackhawk Security and Concetta “Chet” Suarez is an animal control officer. When Chet moves into the other half of Jason’s double, they know it would be stupid to get involved, but as the suspense ramps up, so does the sexual heat. Meat is Chet’s pitbull rescue and plays a part in the plot as well as having my pitbull loving heart from the moment he appears on the page. I loved this story and all of the characters and was very sorry when it ended. I will definitely be following up for more reads in this series.
Never Forget by Kalyn Cooper
This is the first book in the Never trilogy and I want the next book NOW! This book had me so emotionally invested in the H/h. Elizabeth Camp buries her second husband only to find out they meant to kill her. She and her two children are offered protection by Matthew St. Clare who is a Deputy Director in the CIA. This book has terrorists, moles in the CIA, and buried secrets from 10 years ago when Elizabeth lost her first husband on a mission in Syria. Or did she? This book is a page turner that twists your heart as much as it spikes your heart rate. Mature love and sexual intercourse is explicit and written beautifully. I am looking forward to this whole trilogy.
Ravished River by Lindsay Cross
Aaron Speirs is part of Task Force Scorpion. They were betrayed and ambushed by their CIA liaison in Afghanistan. Celine and Caroline were kidnapped. Since Aaron recommended Celine for the position she was in when kidnapped, he will do anything to get her back. The suspense is fast paced with a precision rescue. The romance grows as Aaron protects Celine and decides what is important to him. Celine was a strong and compassionate heroine who definitely deserved her HEA.
Lincoln by PJ Fiala
Lincoln Winter is one third of Big Three Bounty Hunters. He is drawn into a police and FBI investigation of Limitless. Besides dealing in art and precious jewelry, they are gun running. Skye Sommers runs HR at Limitless and Lincoln does not realize the trouble he bring to her door as he investigates her involvement. Skye is such a strong character who is dealing with more than her fair share of problems and Lincoln comes in and is the support and protection she needs. The secondary characters, Skye’s parents and Abe, Lincoln’s military trained German shepard and his coworkers make this a true to life, heartfelt romance. Hot sex scenes included.
Mace by Maryann Jordan
Mason “Mace” Hanover owns Lighthouse Security Investigations and Sylvie Gardner is a working single mom of 8 year old David who are all brought together after Slyvie’s son witnesses a murder. This book keeps you turning the pages with murder, kidnapping, and a growing romance. Mace and Sylvie work as a unit to protect and care for David. This story focuses on the suspense plot with the H/h not needing internal angst to interfere with the romance. Mace and David are so wonderful together without detracting from Sylvie’s love as his mother. I also love the Lighthouse Security building which is so unique. This is a new-to-me author that has me hooked on her series.
Black Jack by MJ Nightingale
Dawn Sassacus is an accountant and the baby of her family who own the Mystic Nights Casino. When she subs as a dealer for a friend she is drawn to the new man at her table. Jackson “Jack” Black is a gambler on a mission. What Dawn does not know is it is an undercover mission. These two had instant chemistry even without full trust. The author brought it all together though in a believable way and the sex scenes are smoking hot. Even though this is the fourth book in the Mystic Nights Casino series it is easily read as a standalone.
Her Guarded Hero by Caitlyn O’Leary
Get the tissues ready for this one! Even though this is the fifth book in the Black Dawn series it is easily read as a standalone. Dalton Sullivan, if not on a mission, finds this time of year difficult and tries to find a place of peace. He is hiking around Lake Tahoe when he hears gun shots and a beautiful woman is thrown from her horse and lands at his feet. Aurora Chance is a horse whisperer to damaged horses on her grandfather’s ranch. Loving and caring, she may be the one to bring Dalton back from the dark if only he can save her from the threat to her life. Dalton’s teammates and Aurora’s extended family are all realistic and interesting secondary characters. Parts of this story will break your heart as much as it heals it in the end. Interesting suspense plot and lots of emotional angst make this a great romance read.
Not Quite Broken by Abbie Zanders
Brian McCain was a POW in Afghanistan for 3 years. He was rescued, but he is still coping with the guilt, pain and mental suffering. He believes he is permanently broken. He lives day to day, but does not let anyone in. Tori Donovan is a physical therapist who has lived through a life of abuse and now lives an isolated life as she tries to find a place to fit in. When the two meet they start as friends who understand each other, but when it becomes more, Brian backs off. Just as Brian realizes his mistake and changes his mind, Tori goes missing. With a serial killer in the area, Brian and his friends know they must find her and quickly. The romance in this book is slow to build and beautiful with only one limited sex scene. The suspense is fast paced and intense. The addition of Danny to the secondary characters was heartbreaking and well as heartwarming. Well deserved HEA.
