Holy dark, brutal, scary, suspenseful, angsty story! I love it!!

While Emilia is being held in Russia, she is introduced to a rag tag group of mafia members that are being held by Korol in his dungeon. These prisoners of Korol’s will be his downfall when Emilia gains their respect and admiration.

I absolutely love this story and want more! It’s dark, scary, brutal, and awesome. I need the next book in this series now! I need to know what will happen. Emilia is a scary woman, but she is also a woman who can fool anyone that she comes into contact with. I will never look at the song The Gambler the same again. I give this story 5 shining stars and recommend this book to any reader who likes suspense, dark, brutal, and angsty stories with a badass woman who can REALLY take care of herself.

Iris had a good childhood she was raised by her grandmother and was happy even if they didn’t have money. She was loved and cared for. Then her world fell apart. Her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and her world crashed. She thought she found someone to lover her and care for her again but found that she only put her life in danger. She was lucky to get out alive.

Brae is a teenager who needs her sleep and isn’t getting it with their new neighbor, Iris. Callan meets Iris in a situation where they are both on edge, he’s protecting his sister and she’s afraid of everyone, so he puts her on edge when she opens her door for him.

Callan may have come from a dangerous life, but he’s really a gentle man who only wants to do right by his little sister and maybe have a normal life. Iris and Callan are great together, she finally learns what it’s like to be loved and cared for by a real man.

I love these two together and love how Iris’s sassiness and light finally comes out. I hope there are more to these guys because the characters are awesome in this series. I love these stories. These men are so tough and Alpha until their women come into their lives and show them how to be the men they are supposed to be.

I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend this book as well as all of the books in the series. These men and some of the women have secrets, but once you’re accepted into their group you will never get away from them. They all protect, love and care fiercely for those in their group.

After being rescued by his team mate and best friend from Hell, Dax Holloway is still living that Hell, but he also runs a security and protection company. It’s been six years since he was rescued, but the torture he went through in the hands of the enemy while serving his country changed his life forever. He will never be the same man again. He doesn’t feel whole anymore, but his company does well and the team he has around him are all ex-military or CIA. When a woman comes to them for protection, he doesn’t know why she sounds upset with him. His friend and second in command, Ford, tells him that Evianna has no idea of his disability and was upset that she thought he was dismissive of her fears.

Evianna Archer is a woman who holds a powerful position in a tech company, and she has to fight constantly to get the respect she deserves for her position as well as for her abilities. She needs protection because someone is threatening her. She is amenable to the plan that Second Sight has to keep her safe and protect her, as well as find out who is threatening her.

When Ford Lawton, Dax’s second in command gets a phone call about a situation concerning someone important to him, he will have to hand the job of protecting Evianna over to Dax. Since they are shorthanded currently, Dax will have to get back into the field. He’s not sure of his abilities to keep Evianna safe anymore.

The suspense, twists, and strength in this story are why I gave this story a 4.5-star review. While Dax didn’t think he would be able to protect Evianna, they worked together and were able to keep safe and get away from the danger. When Evianna shows Dax that he is so much more than he thinks, they both become stronger. Dax finds that he is more even with his disability and finds a way to accept who he is. I love the characters and the story line. Dax has a lot to overcome in this story, but with the help of his friends and Evianna he finds a way to move on with his life and be a new man.

Bryce Chandler, FBI agent, member of the Circle of Justice, twin brother to Ian Chandler, and a man who has no problem putting himself in harm’s way to rid the world of the scum that get away with their crimes for some reason or other due to our justice system. He is the only man for the job when one of the men on the list for the Circle of Justice to eliminate is a mob boss. It’s hard to get close to these men and he has the demeanor and the plan to do it. However, his plans will be compromised when he meets Layla, the mob boss’s daughter.

Layla Corsino is a lawyer and the daughter of a ruthless mob boss who has no barriers when it comes to destroying his enemies. She’s nothing like her father and her innocence is refreshing to Bryce, but is it real? She’ll become a pawn in her father’s plans to get to the top and rule. Can Bryce help her, can he save her from being in the middle of her father’s plans?

I’ve read the other three books in this series and have loved them, but I think I have to say that this one was my favorite. It has just the right amount of suspense, tension, and twists that I hated to have it end. Bryce is not a joker like his twin brother Ian, but he knows how to let loose and enjoy life some as well. He may be the one who is serious and always working, but after meeting and getting to know Layla, he is softer and more down to earth. I love how they both seemed to bring out the best in each other.The men in the Circle of Justice are lethal killers who take out the people that most deserve to be removed from this earth. They aren’t killers like serial killers, but they also will tell you that they enjoy what they do.

I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend the Circle of Justice Series to readers who enjoy, mafia, romantic suspense, and stories of righting the wrongs in the world. I look forward to Reed’s story, hopefully in the near future.

A steamy, sexy, heartbreaking, and beautiful story.

Ryder Morrison is a man who has been to hell and back. He was held in captivity while serving his country and left for dead. He’s loyal, tech savvy, scarred, and determined. He’s anxious to get back to work after recovering from his ordeal but is he ready to go back into the field and face the dangers he’ll be thrust into again? After finally meeting his reclusive neighbor one night, in the middle of the night, his life could take a big turn, but will it be for the good or bad?

Codie Ray is a woman who lives for her fears after a tragedy that left her scarred on the inside. She doesn’t talk to anyone other than the people to make deliveries to her for work or groceries, she doesn’t leave her house, nor does she ever go outside of her house. One incident that will scare her more than she already is will change her life forever. She wants someone to lover her and she would really like to be a normal person, but she can’t see that ever happening.

Being someone who has felt the pain of loss like Codie, I could so empathize with her. I felt her pain and her loss. The loss that she had to deal with is awful and not an easy thing to overcome at times. This story was so beautifully written, and I loved how Ryder was able to help Codie be the person she was meant to be and find her place in the world. It is amazing how love can heal and help us in our darkest times. Two broken people who find each other and are able to become whole again. Make sure you have tissues handy when reading this story. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who like to read stories about military, suspense, dangerous men, and just beautiful love stories. I look forward to more stories in this series and reading about the women who will bring these men down a notch.

A past case past will come back to haunt Paige Hood and Ryan Xander. The detectives who are working a case of a teenage girl who was abducted and held for a specific amount of time before she was murdered and placed where her parents would find her. The detectives will rack their brains looking for the serial killer and their lives could change forever due to this case.

I have come to love the families in the Count to Ten series. They are a close-knit family of both blood and non-blood related. The detectives and their families are so close you would think they were all blood related, but it’s the closeness and fierce loyalty to each other that tightens that bond.

Sophie Xander’s life changed a few months back when she found out that she was adopted and that her birth parents were not the best of society. She’s so upset with her parents for keeping this a secret for so long that she lashes out and disrespects them. Ryan and Sophia, Sophie’s adoptive parents, are patient with her for as long as they can be, but something has to give soon, or they could lose their little girl forever.

This series is full of twists, turns, suspense, and danger. They have brutal crimes but they are written so well that once I start reading them I lose track of time and hate to put it down, I give this book a 4.5-star review and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the Count to Ten Series. They always keep me wishing for more. I am a little afraid of the next one though too because it is Ten.

Wow talk about a man who is scary, Alpha, broken, and in need of love! Mercy is a man who is lost, scarred, deep, and in need of a woman who can see beyond all of that. He is ex-military and has the scars, both inside and out from his service. He has found his place outside of the military working with a group of men who were all special forces in different branches of the service, at a security company run by a man who is the sergeant at arms in an MC. The job that Mercy is assigned is not his idea of a fun time, babysitting a rich, spoiled woman who doesn’t know when to shut up.

Parris has to leave Vegas and she is not happy about it. Little does she know that her life is in more danger than she is aware of. Her friendship with a man who owns several casinos could her life to end, especially after what she has witnessed. She is unaware of the danger lurking about Michael, her best friend who has hired an elite security company to get her out of Vegas and keep her safe and alive.

I really like this story and the characters were great. The men on Mercy’s team are a mix of fun, flirtatious, lethal, serious, and very dangerous. I love how Mercy instantly gives Parris a nick name and that she is a therapist. It was such a great twist to the story, but it also made the story better. The ease in which she can talk about her work was great and the reaction from the men on Mercy’s team was perfect. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who enjoy reading stories about MC’s, ex- military, dangerous, or scarred men finding the love they feel they’ll never find.  Such a sexy cover too! I am so looking forward to Ryder’s story next.
