Action Packed, Suspenseful, Intense Attraction

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022

Laine has had so many moves in her life, and is ready to move to Killeen, Texas to be close to her one close friend, Lucky. Lucky arranges for his friend, Knox, to do anything he can do to help her get unpacked and set up in her new home. Laine’s mom has been out of her life for a number of years, so when she calls unexpectedly Laine let’s it go to voicemail; however, after a few frantic calls Laine tries to call her back, only to get no answer. Shortly after that Laine’s mom is murdered, and now Laine finds herself in danger with a Mexican Cartel. As fate would have it, Laine and Knox have more common than they first realized. Both tend to push away people and never getting into a serious relationship. Both had mothers murdered by the Mexican Cartel. And the further along they get, their attraction grows, and it get more suspenseful trying to protect Laine and find out why the cartel is after her. Fast paced and a page turner as you try to figure out what will happen next.

Each book in the Special Forces series will keep you in suspense. Laine is a wandering soul, a firefighter who just moved to town to be closer to her friend Lucky. Lucky volunteers his friend Knox to help her move in and set up her house. In the middle of moving in Laine gets several mysterious phone calls from her Mother. Calls she ignores because she and her Mother have been estranged during her adult life. Calls that usually involve her Mother needing money. When Laine eventually returns the call she get no answer. Then she finds out her Mother was murdered and it involves drugs. The action starts when Laine and Knox along with other friends try to solve the murder - and avoid being murdered themselves. Very enjoyable story. I received an ARC and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

Being estranged with her mother, Tamara for 18 years, Laine is surprised to miss several calls from her in one day. When she decides to return her call, she is not able to get through to her and later finds out her mother has been murdered. What she doesn’t understand is why she as a boatload of the cartel’s drugs or why she was killed by Mexican Cartel and now they are after her.
Now working with the Delta Force teams and the authorities, Knox and Laine have to work fast to stay ahead of the cartel or become victims themselves.

Laine has moved alot. This time she moves to Texas to be close to her best friend Lucky. Lucky asks Laine to let his friend Knox help her get settled into her new place. He says to keep him busy to keep his mind off his problems for a few days. They find that things in their lives are similar. Great read lots of action, mystery and finding a place to belong.
I was given an advanced reader copy and I voluntarily leave this review.

Action, Suspense, Romance and Sizzle

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022

Before Laine moved to Texas, she had moved ten times and lived in four states. This last move is after a break-up that was the longest relationship she's ever had. As she's getting settled, she gets a call from her mother that she lets go to voicemail. She's never been close to her mother and hasn't spoken to her in five years. She usually asks for money or just rants and raves at her, Laine doesn't want to get sucked into that again. Lucky shows up with his wife Rayne and he tells her his homecoming gift to her is Knox at her beck and call to help her with her unpacking. While he's there her mother calls again and she sends it to voicemail.

True to his word Knox shows up the next morning, his mind still on trying to find his father. It's been a month since his father disappeared after his mother's murder. Although it's not common knowledge they are certain it was the Cabrera Cartel. His father is DEA, and they are sure he's gone after them. In what capacity they won't know until they locate him. He does his best to push that all aside as he grabbed the treats he brought for Laine. Coffee and pastries are a good way to get to know someone.

Knox manages to get the cable and televisions set up and he cooks up the steaks Laine bought along with grilled vegetables. Once again impressing Laine.

Now they have quite the discussion over dinner, mostly light and fun but then with some dark and dreary.

It's when Lucky shows up with Knox's team lead Cannon that things get a bit crazy. Well more than that they also get dangerous.

Laine's mother is dead and the drugs they find belong to the cartel Knox's dad suspects killed his wife.

I really couldn't put this book down, every page offers up a twist you won't see coming.
