⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
John has it in his head that he does not deserve a life or happiness, so he lives his life working for Blackstone and climbing to his peak. His family hasn’t been the same since his twin sister Elle’s accident and he blames himself for it. He will drop everything to be there for his parents and his twin, but when he’s away on an op, it’s not as easy. He hasn’t shared this with his team because it’s his burden to carry. What he doesn’t realize though is that his team would drop everything to help him and his family as well. When an op goes bad and a lawyer is brought in to look at the situation to help figure out what’s going on, John discovers that there may be a happy life for him after all. He just has to overcome his issues and find his way.
Sloane Harlow is a lawyer that needs a place to hide out for a bit after losing a case. She doesn’t believe that she is in danger, but Frank and her father believe otherwise. Besides the fact that Frank is the one in charge of Blackstone and a family friend, he wants to protect Sloane, but he also wants her help in figuring out how the Cartel keeps one step ahead of Blackstone and Team North Rock in Mexico. They’re losing team members and it’s becoming a dangerous situation for the teams when they go on ops. They need answers and Sloane digs until she finds them.
All of the Blackstone men are sexy as heck and loyal. They are a family that plays hard but work hard as well and live dangerously. The Blackstone family is large and growing. When you prove yourself to these men and women you are part of the family for life. John has lost a lot in his life but when Sloane comes into his life, he sees so much more for himself. It may take him a bit to figure it out and let her in, but it is so worth the wait. I have loved all of these stories and John’s story was no different. I had a hard time putting it down, I was so afraid I’d miss something. I needed to know what was going to happen and only put it down at 2:30 in the morning when my husband told me I needed to go to bed. I love the family shenanigans, the strong bond these characters all have together and the Furby incidents. I’m going to miss him too. I give this story a 5-star review and would give it five more if I could. I love Ms. Drake’s stories she has a knack for writing books that draw you in and hold you hostage until the final page. I can’t wait for more stories from Ms. Drake, she’s one of my one-click authors for sure!
MY REVIEW:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
A story of finding trust, both in yourself and others.
Asher Thorne has always had things easy, but after a devastating loss he’s reeling and trying to find trust in himself again. When a rescue attempt goes FUBAR from the first moment his SEAL team starts to touch down in Venezuela, Asher will have to find the man that he was before his loss. He’s still blaming himself for not seeing the signs and now that he has to be on full alert and ready to save lives, he will have to dig deep and keep his mind in the game if he wants to get home alive and save the lives of those he’s there to help.
Eden York is a woman that grew up on a farm with a father that served his country and is the town sheriff and brothers that have served their country too. She’s on a dangerous mission as a translator and finds herself in a situation that brings out the strength and control that she has always had. When she has to rely on others, she has to dig deep within herself to find the trust that the SEAL team there to rescue her and the others being targeted will get them all out and protect them. She has a hard time giving up that control and trusting anyone other than her family, but since they are not their she has to find a way to work with these SEALs.
This was a great story and the characters are strong and entertaining. I loved the story line. The story is full of action, suspense and danger. I have not read the first two books in the Night Storm series but will have to go back and read them now. The SEAL team is a brotherhood and the characters joke around and care about each other, but they also know when to be serious and fight together as well. They have each other’s backs and feel any loss like the loss of a family member. I enjoyed reading Asher and Eden’s story and look forward to reading more of the Night Storm series. I look forward to Lawson’s story. I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to anyone that likes military romance of stories strong, sassy women that fight for their beliefs.

When their mom is dying, Jemma has to find her sister. But doing so changes her life forever. Growing up the Gaines sisters had a tough life, and Tara moved away leaving Jem alone. Now Jemma has to find her before their mom loses her life. Jem’s surprised when she finds her sister taking her clothes off for a living. Tara works for the Angels’ Fury MC strip club. Jemma doesn’t account for the MC president, Angel. As soon as Angel sets eyes on the beauty she turns his life upside down. With her sexy body and her sassy mouth, he knows he’s in trouble. A spur of the moment decision sees Jemma stripping on the stage. It’s not something she wants to do, but if it buys her sister time to see their mom, then she’ll do it. However, Angel isn’t as happy to see her on his stage as he thought he would be. Has Angel met his match? Will Jemma make it home in time to see her mom?

She huffs as she starts to walk past me toward the door, “What do you want from me Travis?”
“Everything.” I reply and watch as her eyes flash with fear and uncertainty. “You have twenty minutes and I’m coming to look for you.”
She nods, “I’m not worth your time Travis, trust me. I’m broken and nothing is ever going to fix me. You’re better off just forgetting about me.” She drops that bombshell as she leaves, her voice small and I want to snatch her up and find out what broke her. Instead, I watch as she leaves, not once turning back.
“She’s got you tied up in knots. I’ve not seen you act that way ever brother.” Tank says walking into my office. “I get it, she’s sexy as fuck, her attitude is hotter than hell and I rekon she’ll ignite under you like the fourth of July. But she’s got a lot of baggage, did you see the scars?”
“What fucking scars?” I growl, I didn’t see any.
“She tried to hide them, but I saw them. Her thighs, her stomach, and I’m pretty sure she has some on her chest and back.” He explains, “They were silvery, she did a fuck of a good job trying to cover them up, especially with so much glitter, but I know scars and she’s got a lot and not just on the outside.”
“She told me she’s broken.” I confide in him.
He nods, “The good ones usually are. But they make it worth trying to fix them. You fix her, she’ll stay loyal by your side.”
“She’s too good for this life.”
He barks out a laugh, “Nah brother, she’s not, I think she’s just what you need. She’s yours, we can all see that. You’ve just gotta make sure she does.”
A knock at the door has both of us turning, it’s Savage, he’s got a shit eating grin on his face. “Um, Prez, your woman is about ready to kill the prospect.”
I groan, “What the fuck?” I say getting to my feet and prowling out to find out what the hell is going on.
I hear her voice before I see her. “Didn’t your mama ever teach you not to perv on people?”
I growl. “Yeah, he tried to watch as she got dressed. Don’t think he realized she’s yours. If he did, well then, he’s got a death wish,” Savage says with a grin.

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 3. 5 out of 5
An interesting story of two people from two completely different worlds that find themselves together. He’s the president of Angel’s Fury MC and she’s the sister of one of his strippers. He expects respect and cooperation from anyone that comes into contact with him and she’s a girl that has a tortured past, and she doesn’t take crud from anyone. She has no filter and is naïve about her sister’s life and the world she’s living in. Circumstances will bring Jemma and Travis together.
Jemma is a young girl that has been caring for her mother and is trying to get her older sister to come home to say goodbye to their mom. When she gets no response from Tara, she’ll search her out and put herself into an uncomfortable situation, but she’ll also find who she really is and that her strength goes deeper than she was aware of. It can also bring her out of the shell she’s been living in for year.
Travis is amused by the young girl at first, but when Jem disrespects him he wants to show her that he will not tolerate her mouth or her sassiness. He has no idea why the girl fascinates him, nor does he understand how deep his interests go until he sees her on the stage at Angel’s Titties. The fact that other men are looking at her while she is stripping has his blood boiling and he makes the move to claim her and keep her off the stage. He’ll have to figure out what’s going on and how he will keep his word that Tara will have her job when she returns without ruining his reputation. I give this story a 3.5-star review and look forward to more of Jemma’s and Travis’ story.

BLURB:
They say a man’s power is measured by the smile on his woman’s face.
But when that man is connected to the mob, his woman ain’t smiling.
And his power is forged from his sins.
I’m a product of the mean streets of Brooklyn, transplanted in Miami.
The right hand to the heir of the Pastore Crime family.
She’s a beautiful-but-tormented soul shining a light in the darkness of my life.
I can’t resist her.
But I can’t have her either.
For us it’s til death do we part.
*Connected is a prequel to The Pastore Crime Family Series and was previously published as part of the Guns Blazing Anthology*
