Secure Boxed Set: Chase Security Series Books 1-3 by R.L. Dunn – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five stars
This box set was a great read. Dunn really knows how to draw you in and make you not want to leave. I enjoyed the characters and the plot line. Each book was different and unique. I really enjoyed Elizabeth. She has a very caring heart. She really felt for every patient. The flow of each story was very smooth and gave you the feeling of being right in the mix of it. Ian is my favorite Chase. There was just something so enticing about him. Julian’s story was very touching. He went through so much and yet stepped up when he was needed by Holly. Each character had there good and bad points. It was just hard to see the bad when the author wrote them so well. The growth and adjustments the characters made in order to love who they chose. The way they were willing to move mountains to keep them safe. The trauma buried so deep that it stands a chance at ruining that happily ever after. Definitely something you should put on your must read list.

Dunn – Review by Gail Guerrero
The Chase Security guys have quickly become one of my favorite series to read. Each story is unique and full of enough drama and suspense to keep it entertaining while also focusing on a couple and their road to each other.
Secure Desire (Chase Security #1) Ian successfully runs a private security firm with his brother. His past military experience makes him sought after. Six years ago, he had a brief encounter with Callie. When he sees her again, he can tell she is different and is determined to figure out the secret she is hiding before it kills her. Callie is working for the FBI when she meets Ian…although she feels like they have met before. However, she is determined to hide her secret because Ian will want nothing to do with her if it comes out. However, Ian is relentless and determined…and maybe that’s what she really needs. This story has a lot of layers…none of which I want to give away because it is a great book to read without any clues. I found myself immersed in the story as soon as I started reading it and I enjoyed it until the very last page.
Secure Again (Chase Security #2) Wow…there is a lot going on in this story and it is an amazing ride. While this story may be intimidating due to the amount of pages, I found myself flipping through them so fast and I arrived at the end of the story before I knew it. I was so engrossed in the story that I completely tuned out the world around me. Martin, the CEO of Chase Security, is called home when his brother ends up in the hospital. Elizabeth is the doctor treating Martin’s brother. The two share a heartbroken past that they must face when they see each other again. This is not your typical second-chance romance, though. First, R.L. Dunn makes them work hard to move beyond the past and even have a chance at a future. Oh…and there’s the web of prisoner abuse and other crimes that they must unravel along the way.
Secure Heart (Chase Security #3) This is third story in the series and focuses on Julian. Julian has recently become the head of Chase Security’s San Diego branch. He is digging himself out of a past that has beaten him down. Upon arriving in San Diego, he finds out that Chase medical is endangering its patients and putting their lives at risk. One of those lives belongs to a little girl named Sadie. Sadie is suffering from the same condition that took Julian’s wife from him…but he is determined to save her. Her mother, Holly, has her own past demons that force her to keep her walls up. However, when Holly and Julian are together, the chemistry is definitely there. However, more danger lurks around the corner when a serial kidnapper targets women and their children. Julian, and the rest of Chase Security, are trying to find out who is behind everything while keeping everyone safe. I found myself really invested in both Holly and Julian. Their pasts had me hoping that each of them would find happiness and not be faced with heartbreak again. Holly is a strong character and not quick to let a man take care of her…and I loved that about her.
All three books in this set are amazing and definitely worth the read!

Dunn – Review by Rosanna Ingram
Secure Boxed Set Chase Security Series Books 1-3 By R. L. Dunn ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ This is 3 complete novels within a boxed set. You will have the pleasure of reading about suspenseful romance. ENJOY!
Book 1 This is Cassie and Ian’s story. Cassie is probably the strongest heroine I have ever read about. She is Amazing. She works with the FBI, specializing in stolen art. She really knows her stuff when it comes to protecting herself from her creep of a boss. He is working her last nerve, this could be dangerous. But only time will tell. Ian Chase, Wow he has been smitten but is trying with everything he has not for fall for Cassie. He is professional and puts his job first. But I know he would like to…. Well you will just have to read the book to find out what he really wants to do. He is a strong character in this story. You can’t help but fall in love with him
Book 2 Elizabeth Reed is a trauma surgeon who has seen her fair share of injuries. She also suspects something is no good at the prison. So much Trauma, adults, children, and prisoner’s. But… she has had enough. She is documenting her suspicions and keeping it until she has enough proof. In the meantime she is having problems with one of the doctors. He has caused enough problems for her to fix. So she needs to put a stop to it. That’s when everything she stands for is jeopardized. The doctors think she should let the officer who was shot die. She can’t though! Read on to see what happens next.
Book 3 Julian (Smooth) Dupart has returned to San Diego to rebuild the Chase Security building. What he stepped into was not what he expected. Holly is a single mother of a 4 year old princess. Holly writes and performs concerts, running her shows and getting home to Sadie. That is all she wants. A healthy daughter and to be a good mother. As the lives of these two people collide, so does everything around them.
R.L.Dunn has written all three books in this series. They are well written and fast paced. I fell in love with all 3 books. This security group are people you would want to help you out. Get on the rollercoaster of emotions, not limited to love, tears and anger. These books are so much more. I love the characters, as the women are strong, and can take care of themselves. But having a strong man protect you, that’s a whole different scenario. Well Done R. L. Dunn! Well Done!
I couldn’t get enough of this books witty and intriguing story. In fact I found myself reading well into the night to find out what would happen with the characters that I fastly fell in love with in Gianluca. This is the first in the Marini Family Romance series from Isabella Cassazza and like I said this one has a lot of wit and humor laced in with the romance story to keep the reader fully engaged from beginning to end. I loved how I was swoony while I read the story of Gianaluca and Callie. These two are some opposites for sure but the balance they find with their differences is something we all could be envious of. I loved the premise and the backstage pass to the fashion industry as well. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series!

What more could you want than three exciting and action filled novels in one convenient boxed set? I love boxed sets because I can enjoy series in a much more convenient way and this one was no different. I was excited to see the Secure Books come to us in a set. I will be snagging a few for some gifts this year as this is just in time for gifting season. Below you will find my individual reviews for each book in the set. This is one you don’t want to miss!
SECURE DESIRE : I must say I am struggling a tad with exactly where or how I want to place this book on a star scale. I have never had the pleasure of reading anything R.L. Dunn prior to Secure Desire so I was completely new all of her writing style. Dunn has one hell of a knack for detailed writing. While I loved that most of the time I felt like I was right there with the characters and in the moment I could have done without some of it sometimes. It felt a tad heavy. Only because I wanted to get to the the point and found myself several times confused in the novel. There is immaculate research done clearly evident as well, but again, I don’t want to feel as if I am in the History Channel.
Bottom line, I adored the story for what it was, and found myself falling in love with Ian and Cassie quickly. I was invested in them from the get-go and was on the edge of my seat wondering how everything was going to turn out for them in the end. Which I must say was quite unpredictable as well! Another fantastic plus. I look forward to checking out more of the Chase Group Stories and whatever else is available or will be to come from R.L. Dunn.
SECURE AGAIN: Ohhhh my, I just totally adored this book. I was completely sucked into it and couldn’t put it down until I had soon consumed it in one full sitting. Literally, I never even got up to cook supper this book consumed me that much it lead to a fantastic pizza night in our household!
Elizabeth Reed is everything you want to see in a female lead. A strong and fierce force to be reckoned with when it comes to medical integrity, she truly made this book so delicious to read. I Farmer (Martin) Bailey is the type of man that makes you weak in the knees; delicious, strong, protective, and down-right a hot Alpha lead. Elizabeth finds herself questioning the injuries that are coming in with the inmates from the local jail. As a doctor something doesn’t seem right and she is determined to get the the bottom of it. Just as that is heating up she is also faced with the fact that she is keeping the brother of the man she loves alive. These two do not have a pretty past but can they work together and find a beautiful future together? I can’t wait to see what the next book in the Chase Group stories will bring us.
SECURE HEART: This has been a fun series to follow and this book being the third, I would suggest reading the previous two before diving into this one. We really grow and get to know the Chase Security team throughout them but the characters overlap from book to book. Dunn really has a knack for writing a well developed and layered story. I love that the romance is simply a layer, not the whole read, and in doing so it becomes an enhancement not a chore to read. I was anxious to get my hands on this one and discover more of Julian, and was he as smooth and sexy as I ever expected. Holly and Sadie bring a sweet and sassy side to the story and kept me giggling at times with some of Sadies antics and points of view. I really look forward to seeing what we will get in the next installment.

Dunn – Review by Liz Vrchota
The first book in the Chase security series starts off strong. Ian and Cassie are both very strong willed characters. Cassie life is falling into place when an assignment conjures up past experiences and not good ones. Cassie has been through alot in her life and there slot of backstory in this book. The storyline flows and is well developed.
Book 2 Secure Again This is the second book in the series. This is a thrilling read and action packed from the start. There are a ton of characters who play parts in this story. It’s a well written experience you feel your best pounding as you walk through with these. Martin is the leading male and going back home has changed him. I love Elizabeth she’s an inspiration character. A few twist and turns.
Book 3 Secure Heart
Another great book by Dunn as part of the Chase security series. I adore Julian and Holly’s they are such characters. Julian having previously made an appearance in a previous book I enjoyed getting to know him more in this one. Each character has thier own unique personality and characteristics . I highly recommend reading this series.

The Secure Box set is made up of 3 books. All of which are very easy to read. Who doesn’t love books with strong alpha men, action, romance, and excitement. The books definitely will not bore anyone. I enjoyed reading these books and found the characters lovable. The author did a great job with the plot of all 3 books to keep the reader entertained and interested in what will happen next. I found myself looking at the clock thinking I need to go to get to sleep but let me just read one more chapter first.

Gianluca: A Standalone Enemies-to-Lovers Office Romance (Marini Family Romance Book 1) by Isabella Cassazza is a contemporary romance story. Isabella takes us to one of the beautiful cities of love, Roma and takes you to the Tuscan sun. It also takes you into the cut throat world of fashion and one of the top fashion houses. The characters are fully realised and the chemistry starts off slow but soon builds up. Gianluca is a bit of a hardened man but finding love made me see him in a different light. It was easy to feel along with them, all the banter and frustration, the angst and the drama will keep you steadily turning the pages.

This was my first book by Amy McKinley. It won’t be my last. I found another favorite author! This book stole me the second I started reading it. I couldn’t put it down. Adeline Rossi is our main female character. She’s a head strong, smart, driven female who knows what she wants in life. Is set in her way of not “ending up like her mom”, and feeling like she missed out on her goals in life. Stone Crenshaw is our main male character and he’s a business tycoon who is a workaholic. They have an interesting meeting. While pretending to be engaged, things start to boil. This is unlike any other “fake fiancé” books I’ve read. Absolutely recommend and can’t wait to find more books by Amy McKinley.

Unwrapped was the perfect addition to my Holiday reading lineup! This story is written by Evelyn Sola and this is my first time ever reading a novel by her. Immediately I found myself wrapped up in this story and unable to put it down. Within the first chapter I both felt sorry for, and laughed at Nick, whom is the boss of Mona, whom is the mom of Miranda, whom is the narrator of this story. I found this story had many laughs, lots of suspense, an excellent amount of heartache, and just enough steamy romance. This entire story is based around the Christmas Holiday, and I just adored how much tradition was packed into it. I loved that every single character was likable and obviously flawed. This story is meant to be a standalone novel, and is targeted at mature audiences. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick holiday romance! 4 stars!

R.L Dunn brings us the first three books in the Chase Security Series.

If you enjoy an intriguing story with a great balance between romance and suspense, this box set is a must own. Dunn does a fantastic job in this series and once you start book one you will want them all. Great characters, great plot pacing. Just the right amount of suspense and romance – not too much of either but just enough to keep you completely enthralled. Highly recommend!

Gianluca: A stand-alone enemies-to-lovers office romance by Isabella Cassazza is the first book in the Marini Family Romance series. This is a book that is all about the characters and the connection they have. The chemistry between them was undeniable, you can feel it on every page. I really thought they were engaging and drew you full attention to them. The story was entertaining and quite fast paced, I found myself turning the pages quickly as I read more and more. It was written and had a great development line throughout. This is definitely a great book to read and it is one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Gianluca is an enemies to lovers, office romance which is the first book in the Marini Family series by Isabella Cassazza. I had only read one of Isabella Cassazza’s books before reading this book and I had thoroughly enjoyed it. Incidentally we were introduced to Gianluca in that book and he was not exactly to of my favourite men list. Could he redeem himself in this book? I have to say that to begin with Gianluca doesn’t do much to redeem himself. He is very driven, arrogant and ruthless and will do whatever it takes to get the promotion at work that he believes he deserves. So let’s just say he’s not the nicest person to Callie when they first meet and start working together. Of course, there is a much nicer Gianluca hiding under the arrogant, hard exterior and it takes the awesome Callie to bring out the nicer side to him. I loved reading Gianluca and Callie’s story. Their interactions together make for very entertaining reading. Both are fantastic characters and are very well written. In addition, the secondary characters add so much to this story, in particular Gianluca’s sister Francesca and Signore Ravelli. As this series is based around the Marini family, of which there are 6 siblings, I can’t wait for more in this series to see what Isabella Cassazza has in store for them. I’m looking forward to Francesca’s story in particular.

I love this book and the characters in play. You won’t want to put this story down once fall in love with Miranda and Nick, and that doesn’t take long at all. This cute, funny, sexy romantic read is just what you need for a Christmas Holiday read. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

I loved this book – it was everything I love in a romance read and more! I love an arrogant alpha male and I certainly got this from Gianluca! He is one of those characters you probably should hate but just can’t resist! Sexy, Italian – what more could I want from a book boyfriend!! I love the setting for the story too; something about Italy makes a story even more romantic and sexy! I really liked Callie as well, she wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself when she needed to. I really like this author’s writing style; it’s very engaging and detailed. The characters were well developed and the plot had a good pace to it. I would definitely recommend this story and I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

When I first read the blurb for this book it sounded like a book I would really enjoy, I love a Navy SEAL story, there is just something about these characters and overall I enjoyed what I read. I will say that it is a book that is quite complex in its storyline so I wouldn’t say it was an easy read, I did have to re-read the beginning so I could fully understand what was going on but once I settled into the story it picked up in my opinion. There were quite a few things going on so I think you have to be prepared to be able to concentrate on what you are reading, it isn’t a book you can easily dip in and out of. The characters were good, they were well thought out and planned and the authors writing was pretty detailed, there was a good mystery running through the story which definitely had me keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen. I don’t think there was as much romance in the story as I anticipated but it was definitely a good mystery!
Secure Again – Book 2
Secure Again was another great read from R.L. Dunn; the story was as engaging and exciting to read as the first one. There was great mix of mystery and suspense running throughout and I was engaged from beginning to end. I loved that the plot was predictable either; I loved having to guess what is going to happen!! There did seem to be quite a few different characters and it took me a little while to get used to them all but I loved the main characters! I loved Elizabeth! She was a really strong character and a pleasure to read about. I was definitely on the edge of my seat on a few occasions waiting to see if characters would survive and would Elizabeth be able to help them! There were a few twists in the story too which made it even better to read!
Secure Heart – Book 3
This is the 3rd book in the Chase Security series and it was definitely my favourite! I liked the first two but I just found myself completely gripped by the story in this one. I really liked the characters Julian and Holly and I absolutely adored Holly’s daughter Sadie! She was such a special little girl to read about. Julian’s character appeared in book 2 of the series but I really enjoyed getting to know him more in this instalment. He’s such a lovely character, really genuine and I loved the connection he had with Holly. I was definitely rooting for these two the whole way through because they both deserved to be with someone special.

Unwrapped by Evelyn Sola – Review by Gail Guerrero
Three Stars
The story wasn’t bad. There wasn’t much character growth. The relationship between the main characters didn’t really seem all that romantic. I will say that it got steamy. What they lacked in relation goals they made up in bed. It’s a fast paced story so you don’t get the same deep understanding of who the characters really are. Mona was a little annoying but I felt you could understand why. I definitely liked the concept of this story. That instant connection you feel with someone. That deep lust that has to be satisfied. I definitely felt that and knew where the author was going. Though some parts were not what I was expecting I would definitely read more from this author. I see a nice flow in the writing style.

One encounter with her surveillance target was all it took to change the course of Nadia Bennett’s life. It was a once in a lifetime kind of connection and worth the risk—even if the price of saving him was to leave him behind and start anew.
When an underwater angel saves Cade Malone from a car accident, he fears he won’t find her again. Years pass, but he’s still unable to erase her from his thoughts, so he vows that the next time they meet, he won’t let her slip away.
Under the moonlit sky, their paths cross, and the lines of demarcation blur as Nadia takes a chance at love even though a dark secret from her past could destroy their relationship.
* Moonlit Mirage is a novella that can be read as a standalone, complete with a HEA.

This was my first book by Evelyn Sola. This was a sweet book. I liked the main female character Miranda, she definitely likes Christmas decorating more than me but it put me in the Holiday spirit for sure. Nick Bane is our main male character, he has a rocky start but I ended up loving him just as much as Miranda. If you’re looking for a cute holiday book, this is the one to pick up and “unwrap” (I know that was cliché but it’s still true!). After this one, I’m interested to see what else Evelyn has for me to get lost in.

Secure Boxed Set: Chase Security Series Books 1-3 By R.L. Dunn 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the Secure Boxed Set: Chase Security Series Books 1-3 by R.L. Dunn. They are stories that pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. The books have action, danger, and romance. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Both the storyline/plot and the characters are amazing. The author does an amazing job of making the characters come alive. I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. There are suspenseful moments as well as very romantic ones. Don’t miss out on a boxed set that is exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend reading them.

All I Want for Christmas By Vivian Fiano 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book All I Want for Christmas by Vivian Fiano. It is a short story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I loved the plot/storyline and also the characters. The book touched my heart and made me believe in true love and the power of the Christmas season. The author does an amazing job of making a story that may be a bit shorter than other books however it still is a powerful read. I grew to care about the characters with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. Don’t miss out on an exciting, romantic, and entertaining book. I highly recommend reading it.

I almost gave this short story 4 stars but after thinking about it, the only reason I would have done that was because just as I was settled in and wanting to read more, the book ended. Well, I knew it was a short story going in and I normally love that but in this case I wasn’t as fond of it because I was completely enjoying every word and how this author wrote every word, which led me to the 5 stars. This is my first book by this author and if this one is anything to go by then I will be reading many many more.
Really hard to sum up this book without giving anything away, but I can say I felt every emotion I was supposed to feel while reading Kinsley’s story. There were tears during one part and it was so awesome. It was a great Christmas read and really felt like I was lost when it was done. I was imagining so many things for her and Brysen, but will take what I was given and use my imagination on the rest.

He’s a broken man searching through the past for answers.
She’s his childhood best friend he had no idea he was in love with.
Thomas Capshaw never thought he’d put his dreams of being a sketch artist on the back burner and end up working in New York City far from home. The very last thing he expects is the inheritance of his famous grandfather’s beach cottage on the sandy shores of Florida where he spent his childhood summers.
Emeline Fischer is an aspiring artist trying to make ends meet, working an assortment of odd jobs while painting her dreams on canvas in hopes of landing her own gallery show, someday. When she is Thomas’ waitress during her shift at the local beach diner, she immediately recognizes her sensitive childhood friend who promised, long ago, to protect her from her unstable home life when they were teens.
The two friends take a journey into their past through a box of photos left behind at Cap Cottage and rediscover their mutual passion for art – and each other. Thomas doesn’t plan to fall in love with Emmy – but, maybe, he’s always been in love with her.
Can he forgive himself for his past mistakes and start over in the only place that ever felt like home? Or, will his guilt and the demands of his cutthroat, big-city career prevent him from following his heart and reuniting with the only woman he ever truly loved?
