⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 stars

Wow! Such a great story, great characters, and beautifully broken characters. This story was so full of darkness, suspense, cruelty, and twists.

Damian Hart is a young man who grew up in poverty and when he finds a way to get out, he’s betrayed and sent to jail. While he’s there he has plenty of time to plot his revenge and when he gets out of jail, he puts his plan into effect. The only problem is that he only knows part of the story and what he knows, or thinks he knows is all wrong.

Angelina “Lina” Dalton-Clark is a woman whose life is not hers. She has been used by men her entire life and they have destroyed her. She no longer trusts anyone. She has no freedom and she can’t even make choices for herself. She’s been a pawn in her father’s life for as long as she can remember. All she wants is freedom, to make choices, liver her life, and have a normal life.

This book was so well written. There are so many twists and turns that I was surprised at every turn. The darkness of Damian and Lina’s relationship was so well written, and the story drew me in from the very first chapter and wouldn’t let go until the very last page. I was angry with both Damian and Lina for not communicating, although I understood their trust issues, it made me angry that they would not open up to each other. I loved both of them and wanted them to find their future, but I also wanted to shake them both.

This was my first read Charmaine Pauls and I don’t think it will be my last. I give this story a 5-star review and will be looking for more of Ms. Pauls books to read. This book is a mix of dark romance, BDSM, suspense and criminal activity, if you like books with those tropes, I would strongly suggest you purchase this book and read it. Make sure you don’t have to get up early the next morning, because you will not want to put this book down for anything.

Hawk is a dead man walking in the small town of Eastland, GA. He betrayed the Copperheads MC and they own the town. The small-town sheriff and judge don’t do anything unless the Copperheads president, Sid, gives them permission.

Charlotte just wants to get home to Atlanta after a breakup with her boyfriend. Charlotte got up in the middle of a business dinner with her boyfriend and left to pack up her stuff and leave after seeing a text on his phone. Little does she know that her luck is about to get worse after she is stopped by the sheriff.

This was an interesting book. The differences between the main characters, the instant attraction and the portrayal of the MC were a bit different than most MC’s I’ve read. I give this book a 3.5-star review and recommend it to readers who enjoy MC Romance, corrupt police, and opposites attraction.

She was supposed to be a job but something about her draws him in and he can’t bring himself to follow through with Arthur’s orders. He has never deviated from a job before, but this woman just does something to his head.

Percivale is a member of the Cavalieri Della Morte, he is lethal and dangerous. He was brought into the Della Morte by Arthur as a teenager when Arthur saved him from death. Percivale is driven by revenge for the brutal murders of his brothers and father when he was a young boy. The only way he survived was because his father had built safety into his house.

Blossom is a young woman who has caused too much trouble for Arthur and must be eliminated. Percivale has been tasked with that dirty job. Blossom is a small woman who owns her own bakery and has not exactly had it easy in her life. She’s been hurt and does not trust easily, nor does she put herself out there for relationships or friendship. She’s a woman who keeps to herself and has no idea what is headed her way. She believes she has bad luck and she has low confidence in herself.

I really liked this story. Percivale is so enthralled with Blossom and she has unknowingly knocked him off his feet. She is small but mighty in her personality and the draw that she has over Percivale. He figures if he can find a flaw in her he will be able to complete his job, but the more time he watches her and spends with her just seals his fate.

I love how Blossom finally finds her self-worth and the person she was meant to be after her time with Percivale. She finds her voice as well as her strength inside and pulls it out. In the meantime, Percivale finds his heart again and although he is a man who is dark and lethal, he is a different man with Blossom. I actually really like Percivale and was happy to read his story.

I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Cavalieri Della Morte stories. These guys are deadly but oh so sexy.

Pierce Lykaios is the middle son of Collin Lykaios and runs kink clubs as well as a sports promotion business. He was an Olympic swimmer when he was a teen and is still active in the sporting arena. His promotion business does very well in Las Vegas, and he is well known for this as well as for being a very rich man. He is one of the God’s of Vegas according to the media. He is also known as the Master of Games because of his promotion of well-known athletes.

Amelia Nephus Thanos is a sports promoter with her business stationed in Greece. She was a teenage Olympian in MMA who was forced to return to her home land of Greece when she was eighteen. She married a Greek shipping magnet while she was pregnant by another man. For ten years she lived in Greece living a lie. The only man she ever loved completely thought she had cheated on him and left him for another man.

Both Pierce and Amelia’s worlds will change when Amelia goes to Vegas for a fight between her fighters and Pierce’s fighters. The truth is about to come out and lives will change.

I loved this story and I give it a 5-star review. A second chance romance where the Alpha male thought he was so in control of everything but quickly learned that he had no control at all. His love for Amelia was stronger than it was ten years ago, and he had no power to stay away from her. The characters in these stories are so fun to read about. They feel that they are so controlled in their lives until they figure out their soul mates are what really keep them breathing. I cannot wait for Zach’s story. I have a feeling it will be even hotter than Hagan’s and Pierce’s stories were. I am really hoping there will be more stories. I love all the characters in this series and want to see all of the men in this series fall to their knees for the women who own their hearts.

Ryder “Boomer” Hess receives a phone call from his little sister while she is on an island stating that there is a matter of life or death. He drops everything and makes his teammate and co-worker from Cover Six Security, “Ninja”, go with him. The main reason he went was because the call cut out right after she said that.

Allison Hess and her childhood best-friend are part of a group that helps rebuild areas that have been destroyed by destructive weather in poor countries. That’s why they are on a remote island that is only accessible by boat. When Allison and Hannah stumble upon some questionable activity on the island near where they are rebuilding a school for the children of the island, Allison decides to call her brother for help to figure out what is going on. None of them expected what they found though and Boomer and Ninja are in as much danger now as Allison and Hannah.

This is a story of second chances, con men, and dangerous dealings in secret that can cause a lot of trouble. I really liked this story. The twists and suspense pulled me right in and kept my interest throughout the book. The characters were great together and Boomer and Ninja are men who take no prisoners and will dig around until they get to the bottom of what is going on.

I give this story a 4.5-star review and look forward to the next book in the Cover Six Security. I really hope its Ninja’s story. A quiet, deadly man who fights his attraction. If you like stories of ex-military men who go in to security and are fierce protectors, I highly suggest this story as well as this series.

Jake Bulleit is a medically discharged SEAL who has been looking for a job for two years. One testimony threw all of his hard work out of the window and black listed him from finding a good job after being discharged from the Navy. One road side bomb destroyed his life, but now he has a second chance with a job working for the Secret Service. He may not like the first assignment he is given, but he will do his job without question. He’s an honorable man with a kind heart and a lot of pain in his heart. His first night in Washington DC, he meets a firecracker of a woman at a bar and has a memorable one-night stand. He’s not happy when she sends him on his way after the mind-blowing sex.

Maria Schneider works for Congresswoman Buchanan, a woman who wants to bring Arellano Mendoza, El Leon, to the US to testify at a Congressional Hearing for the money that the CIA is always requesting and using for covert missions. Ms. Schneider is Congresswoman Buchanan’s Aid and has been assigned the duty of protecting and escorting El Leon and his family. She’s not ready for the lone Secret Service Agent that has been assigned for the protection detail of El Leon and his family, he’s the man that she met a week ago and had a one-night stand with.

This story was full of action, lust, and political deception. I really enjoyed the story and fell in love with Bulleit. He’s a man who sticks to his beliefs and will fight for those beliefs, no matter the consequences. He’s honorable, sweet and very sexy. The heat between Jake and Maria is instantaneous and very hot. They were made for each other and it is proven in this story.

I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who enjoy political deception, ex-military men, and people who fight for the rights of others and keep their morals no matter what may happen in the end.

Nick “Cooper” Kempler is a young man who is lost but wants to have a normal life so much. He’s kind, generous, sweet, and stubborn, but most of all he’s a boy who was abused, neglected, and rescued.

Extenuating circumstances will bring them together but how will things work out for them. Will they be able to make a life together? Will a tragedy be the catalyst for Nick to figure out his feelings and finally telling Kelsey how he feels?

Wow! Thank you for writing this story! I have read the entire series so far, to include the MTF books, and I thought they were all really good, but this one took the cake. It was a roller coaster ride from the very beginning. I love the characters in all of these stories, but Nick’s story was so heartfelt and touching that he stole my heart. I love this book and highly recommend it to readers who enjoy a story of a man finding his future and the love of his life and having to figure out how to keep her in his life forever.

I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team series.

Danger and a common enemy brought them together, but love kept them together.

Andrea is a woman looking for revenge and has worked hard to get herself into position to finally take it. However, things do not work out in her favor the night she plans to get her revenge.

Marcus is an ex-Army Ranger and a man looking to avenge the woman he loved. He is working alone and thinks he is going to exact his revenge the same night as Andrea, but things don’t work out in his favor either.

Randall and Holden are ex-SEALs who want revenge on the same man as Andrea and Marcus, but they are working together and know about Andrea’s desire to avenge her loved one. They know nothing of Marcus’ desire to avenge his loved one, yet. They were on the same SEAL team and work like a well-oiled machine. Their differences make them a great team.

Alexander Kyrkos is a man who is dangerous and works for a group called Indigo. It’s a worldwide group of killers and dangerous men. He’s also paranoid and keeps moving around the world in hopes that his enemies won’t find him or kill him. He’s not as well liked as he once way in the group and is being hunted by these four to exact revenge for the death of people they cared about.

I really enjoyed the suspense of this story. There were a few times where I was holding my breath hoping that things would work out and none of these four main characters were killed. Their commitment to their goal as well as each other never waned and they worked very well together for a common goal. While at first, I thought Marcus was going to be a wild card, he turned out to be a guy they could all count on and trust. The twists in the story were perfect and kept me wondering if Marcus was truly a bad guy or just a guy caught up in a bad situation.

I give this story a 4-star review and highly recommend it to readers who enjoy sassy, brassy women who know how to take care of themselves, as well as Alpha men who are smart enough to let their woman be herself but still be there to protect her and take care of her. I loved the Extended Epilogue too. Thank you for more of their story.

Wow, what an interesting read. A story of truth and fiction intertwined to create an interesting story of a pregnant teen girl, a Vietnam vet, a group of people from the Children of Light compound, a derailed train, and a young man who has a lot of issues.

Kelly Garcia is a young teen girl who is pregnant. She is not a social person, she’s never been to school, and she is pretty much kept out of the public eye by her mother who is simultaneously ashamed of her due to a birth defect and jealous of her for the attention she receives from her step-father.

The Children of the Light a group that live off the land they tend in the desert of Arizona. They are a religious cult that takes Kelly in when her mother doesn’t want her in the home any longer. They care for her and help her. They are also friends with Jason Ramm a man who lives on his own near the Rowley Mine and helps the Children of the Light with groceries. He is a man who is trained to be ruthless and deadly, but he just wants redemption and peace, a man who is fighting with his ghosts from his past but has a good heart and is kind and considerate as well as secretive and a loner.

This story has many characters that are introduced throughout the story. They all fit into the story in a way that helps bring the story to life. This story was intriguing, suspenseful, and heartwarming at times, but also heart-wrenching as well. The treatment of Kelly by her mother and the innocence of her made my heartbreak when she met new people and the way she had to steel herself for the shock on their faces or expected shock from them when they saw her. The intrigue of Jason Ramm’s story and his need to be secluded and secretive kept me interested in him and the story.

I give this story a 4.5-star review and recommend it to readers who enjoy a story of fact and fiction mixed to create a story that pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages for answers. The detail of the desert colors and sights were so well written and were easy to picture. I do wish there was more about Jason Ramm and what happened to him after he left. This was my first read by Anne Montgomery and I was not at all disappointed.
