Seductive Prey by Vivian Fiano a thrilling five-star read. This is the first story in the Relentless series, and I am so eager for the next story in the series, as my goodness what will come next. This story had me gripped, every page I just kept turning it quicker and quicker needing to know what was going to happen next, when it was over, I had to sit and have a drink as I didn’t think I could do anything, I was limp. This gripped me so much, I don’t want to give any part of the story away as its just so well done, there is chemistry and passion, and drama and just simply well written plots. The characters are so well done that you can really see them as the story unfolds you know what is going to happen and how they are going to react, but you are still kept guessing, its brilliantly done.
This was a hot and steamy romance that had me racing through. I loved the cliffhanger at the end, it was perfectly done to get me wanting to read the next book as soon as possible. Jordan is a wonderful female protagonist, she is brave and ballsy yet also vulnerable too reminding you that she is a human with flaws. Watching the love story between her and Grant was intriguing and I’m itching to know how their future works out.
This was a great read that pulls you in right from the beginning. Jordan and Grant first meet when Jordan is getting ready to go to basic. They both felt a little spark. We jump ahead a little and Jordan returns from basic training and is ready to get back to school. She starts helping at the dance studio again as well.
When there is a scary twist, Jordan and a friend are attacked and her self defense training kicks in. When the officers got on the scene she came face-to-face with Grant again. Grant is determined to not let her go again and plans on asking her out.
Will Jordan go out with Grant? Will he be able to keep her safe?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. I really liked the characters, Jordan is a tough as nails female who knows how to take care of herself and Grant had a childhood that helps him connect with lots of children on a personal level. There are some twists and turns that add a great element to the story. I will warn we do end on a cliff hanger and it will leave you wanting more right away. If you’re looking for a good read, 1-click and get started today.

Officer Grant Summers is a cop in the Boston PD so that he can pay forward the kindness he experienced as a child and Jordan Smith is a dancer with a dream of owning her own studio and decides to do this by joining the National Guard.
We first meet Jordan on her first day at the National Guard boot camp when some fellow recruits decide to try and get a rise out of her by demeaning her, but she doesn’t take any offense and just shakes her head while walking away from them until she hears the command of a higher ranking officer chewing them out for the inappropriateness of their comments, as he finishes with them, he introduces himself and then takes her to where she needs to meet her commanding Staff Sergeant. We first meet Officer Summers when he is attending to a call relating to oa drugs offence and the scene he sees when he gets there reminds him of his own childhood experiences, so as he reminisces, he looks after the child while his mother and another male are arrested.
Jordan is returning home after her nine weeks at bootcamp and as she is waiting to disembark from the plane, she reminisces about her time there and the friend she made while there, she is proud of herself for completing the training successfully and showing that she is more than just a dancer and a fragile one at that, but she is surprised when she and another recruit are allowed off of the plane first with an accompanying the round of applause when it is announced by the pilot over the intercom. When she sees her friends and family at the arrivals gate and later at her parents home, she realises that they are as proud of her as she is for herself and the surprise party her parents have thrown just confirms it, the next day she returns to work at the dance studio and pulls another surprise with the students who attend it, then she gets back into the everyday routine of being home and she loves it. However, when she and her friend get to the studio a few days later, they are shocked to walk in to see that somebody has broken in and is messing with some of their equipment, as Jordan shouts at her friend to call the police, the guy rushes her and her self defence instincts kick in as she fights the intruder off. When the police arrive, the assailant runs off and they don’t manage to catch him, however, it turns out that the officer attending is someone she already knows.
When Officer Summers is called to a breaking and entering, he is surprised to see that the victim is someone he already knows and they have a connection that nobody can deny and the fact that she fought the intruder ups her in his opinions again. After Jordan has made her statement at the station and returned home, the adrenaline runs out and she feels scared at what could have happened, but she is happy when Officer Summers checks in on her a couple of days later and is even more happy when he invites her out for dinner, she agrees and they end up enjoying each others company a lot, as the next few weeks pass and their relationship develops, Jordan starts to receive cryptic notes attached to photo’s of her when they are left on her car and her front door, but is this related to the break in at the studio, or is it something more sinister? This is a thrilling roller coaster ride which keeps you on your toes trying to work out who is behind the notes and photos while becoming more and more invested in Jordan and Officer Summers relationship as well as the pnes of those around them.

The Good: The characters are so wonderful. I love how Jordan goes from delicate dancer to badass chick after her training and the way her character develops. Grant is a gem and struggles with real life career issues and struggles that are relevant with current life today. Fiano does such a great job making her characters believable and relatable.
The Great: The plot is spot on brilliance. Fiano weaves a web of suspense, romance, and intrigue that you will have you devouring this book quickly and eager for more. She keeps me on my toes and drops just enough hints and tricks to keep me guessing what comes next!
The Steamy: As I previously mentioned, some scenes in this book are HOT HOT HOT. Fiano didn’t skimp out on the details but walked the line perfectly to keep it classy.

Seductive Prey (Relentless #1) by Vivian Fiano – Review by Michelle Collier
My rate is 5 out of 5
Seductive Prey is the first book in the Relentless Series by Vivian Fiano. Jordan and Grant are such great characters because they are real. We have all met people like them that you just can’t help but love and root for them. She is strong and independent. He is brave and protective. The chemistry with these two might just catch the pages on fire. I got lost in the suspense of the story. This was my first book by Vivian Fiano but I promise it will not be my last!
A great read. Grant and Jordan’s story is one of love at first sight. Grant is a Boston police officer and a Staff Sargent in the Army Reserve. Jordan is a dance teacher who joins the Reserve to serve her country and to get money for college. They meet during her first time at a Reserve Recruitment Sustainment Program, before she heads off to Basic training. When she returns from Basic training she goes back to teaching dance. All is good until she and a co-worker walk in on a burglar in the dance studio and this sets off a scary chain of events for Jordan. Grant happens to be the officer who shows up to assist Jordan and her co-worker at the dance studio after the burglary. The events that follow are just mind blowing. Grant is protective of Jordan. Jordan is a strong independent woman. They have their differences about what’s going on and to handle them, but in the end come to an understanding. Warning!! The book ends in a cliffhanger!! I’ll be anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.
Seductive Prey: The Relentless Trilogy by Vivian Fiano has suspense and romance. It has everything you can ask for.
Officer Grant Summers, a Boston policeman, grew up as the child of a heroin addict mother and has vowed to pay it forward. Jordan Smith joins the Army National Guard to help pay tuition, with the aim of one day opening her own dance school. When a crime is committed at her place of business, Grant Officer Summers leaps at the opportunity to pursue Jordan and start a relationship. Their chemistry is undeniable, but as their relationship develops, they become aware that they are both being watched. As Grant races to save Jordan from the man who has made her his seductive prey, the threats are piling up and the clock is ticking.
I loved every page of it. The fact that it ended on a cliffhanger can’t wait to read the second book. I absolutely loved the characters and the story.
This is the first book in The Relentless Trilogy series. This is a Romantic Military Suspense novel and is 255 pages. This story is meant for 18+. This story follows Grant, a LEO in Boston, and Jordan who is in the Army National Guard. These two meet when there is a crime committed at Jordan’s job and Grant shows up. Que the lightening bolts! There is instant attraction and sparks fly but they are being watched. Multiple threats to Jordan lead Grant racing to find out who is behind this. I cannot say enough about this thrilling romantic read!
SO, you’ve read the blurb and you know that this is the first book in a trilogy and it leaves you with a cliffhanger, so why are you so stupid as to wonder what the hell happened at the end of the book when you didn’t get a nice lovely happily ever after? Yeah, that silly sod was me reading Seductive Prey by Vivian Fiano. Arghhhhh I want book 2 now! I absolutely loved Seductive Prey. It had me totally hooked on the story from the very beginning and had still got me firmly in it’s grip and I want to know what’s happening next with Grant Summers and Jordan Smith. Jordan and Grant are both amazing characters and I really can’t wait to learn more about them. I completely fell in love with both characters during this book. This book has got a bit of everything that I love in a book. You’ve got some hot sizzling romance, added with danger, intrigue and mystery that keeps you turning page after page after page. I think I’ve changed my mind about 4 times as to who Jordan’s stalker is and knowing my awful powers of working out where an author is taking a story it’s likely to be none of them. Definitely worth the 5 stars I’ve given it!
Jordan Smith joined the Army Reserves to be able to afford college. On her first day, she meets Staff Sergeant Grant Summers. He tries to come to her aid when some other Reserves talk trash to her, but Jordan handles it well and Summers is surprised that is he attracted to her strength and spunk.
Jordan finishes boot camp and returns home to Boston where her father is the chief of District 5, and she is a dance teacher. Summers also returns to Boston where he is a police officer. The studio where Jordan works is broken into, she fights the attacker, but he gets away. The officer responding to the scene is Officer Summers. The two are delighted to see one another again, and Officer Summers eventually takes Jordan on a date. Soon after the break-in, Jordan discovers she is being stalked by someone. Is her stalker the guy from the break-in or is it someone closer to her?
As a lover of thrillers and romance novels, I have to say this book is top-notch in both categories. It’s an easy read, and Vivian Fiano keeps you guessing. A wonderful job on a book well-written.
The SEAL’s Temptation (Wounded Hearts Book 7) by Jacquie Biggar. I LOVE these books. They are all amazing and each time I read one I think its my new favorite and this one was no different. This is the story of DEA agent Maggie Holt who is suffering from PTSD due to being held captive by a drug cartel. Retired Navy Seal Agent Frank Stein just wants to relax after years of being a Chief Petty Officer. He has a ranch and wants to just enjoy his retirement. Maggie thinks this ranch will be the perfect place to recover. Unbeknownst to either of them the drug cartel has moved into the area in the manner of cattle thieves, escaped convicts and drugs. While the two help Maggie recover they are also fighting the cartel and falling for each other. Will Maggie and Frank be able to finally put the cartel to rest and will they make a go of their budding relationship? Read The Seal’s Temptation to find out!
Seductive Prey is book one in The Relentless Trilogy by Vivian Fiano. This gripping story is full of action and suspense and is page turner. Vivian’s writing transports you into the story and the journey of the characters. But it is not all sunshine and roses she certainly puts the characters through many twists and turns and has you on the edge of your seat.
Jordan finds herself with unwanted attention and Grant a devoted police officer is determined to be the one to keep her safe and protect her with his life. The chemistry between these two is so palpable you can feel it. I am waiting with bated breath for the second book for more of Vivian’s writing and her wonderful characters.
The Seal’s Temptation: Wounded Heart is the 7th book in the series. I highly recommend reading the first six books in the series before reading this one. It is a bit laborious to understand who all the characters are and their backstories without having read the previous books. This story mainly focuses on DEA agent Maggie Holt as she struggles to overcome PTSD as well as SEAL team member Frank Stein. Together they work to solve a nearby case alongside fellow agents. Will love blossom between them during that time and while together on Frank’s family’s ranch? Find out in this action packed story!

The SEALS Temptation is book seven in the Wounded Hearts series by Jacquie Biggar. I have not read this author’s work before, so it took a little while to get into the story. But once I did, I could not put it down. Maggie and Frank’s story interested me from the beginning. I love this military romance genre, and having a woman as an agent is not something common, which makes it more exciting. I also love the way of life a soldier. It is very close to my heart as my son is a soldier. The camaraderie and sense of family is paramount and loyalty among brothers dominant in any soldier. It was an exciting and heartfelt joy to read Maggie and Frank’s journey. It was not an easy for them and their lives were constantly fraught with danger, uncertainty and risky situations. Throw Maggie’s partner Adam and you have a nice little love triangle that keeps things very interesting indeed. With passion, discovery and an epic battle of will between these two fascinating characters, this story was engaging and electrifying. There was always something going on and one drama after another to overcome. Overall a intriguing and very busy tale. 4 stars.
DEA Agent Maggie Holt knows about Hell. Frank Stein knows the signs of PTSD, he’d suffered the symptoms himself as Chief Petty Officer of SEAL Team Five. Can the two of them help each other? Or will their nightmares be too much for them. This novel took me a few to get into. But that’s because of the topic in the novel. This novel shows how two people are just coexisting and not really living.

I enjoyed this suspense-romance story. This is a well written story about off the charts chemistry and a killer who is watching those on who are after them. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life. They are relatable and I enjoyed watching the growth between Officer Summers and Jordan. They are great together as they try to find a killer but yet may find themselves prey. The twists and turns left me turning pages fast and had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. I am glad I picked up this book and I think so will you. I highly recommend this book.
This book was a slow starter for me at first, but the storyline eventually caught my attention – probably should have started with the first book in the series. Overall, I felt it was a good read with drama, action, intrigue, and romance. The characters were believeable and interesting. Definitely going to go back and read the books from the beginning. I felt ikke I was missing much of the plot not having read the first 6 books. Overall a good read and great way to spend some quiet time.
The Seal’s Temptation by Jacquie Biggar Four Stars
The Seal’s Temptation is the seventh book in the Wounded Hearts series by Jacquie Biggar. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I enjoyed this book, even though I wish I had read this series from book one. I will be going back to the beginning and probably re-read this book. I was sucked into this story from the very beginning. The twists and turns have my emotions scrambled. This book is full of action, adventure, action, and romance triangle. This book goes into details about PTSD. I think Ms. Biggar did a great job bring this issue and others to light. I would highly recommend this book, but you should try to read the first six books first.
Seductive Prey by Vivian Fiano is the first book in the Relentless Trilogy. This book will absolutely leave you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. Found that I instantly connected with the characters, Grant and Jordan. They worked really well together and were believable right from the start. For me this just added to the story as I felt like I was more engaged with it as a whole. The author has done a great job of creating a book that will have you hooked from page one as well as desperately waiting for book two. This book does end on a cliffhanger but something tells me it is I’ll be worth it! This is well written and an exciting read, everyone should pick this book up today!
