By Maddie Wade
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a suspenseful romantic story, with a twist of adventure.

Megan Bennett secretly has fallen in love with a forbidden friend of her brothers. Just a one night stand has come to mean so much more to her. After all she is an adult, soul don’t she be allowed to love who she wants? Now she is stuck with keeping the secret or facing the music. Oh and let’s throw in some suspense and you have a story.

Daniel Thompson should stay his path and keep his heart out of it. His priority is keeping his daughter safe. He has already lost his wife, and the mother of his daughter. Running a security company is more than enough to keep him busy. Now his best friends sister has taken a part of him. All this and add someone out to kill them all.

Maddie Wade has done it again. Her stories are so intense. This series has proven that. I love her characters, but more then that, I love how their stories come together. This is a must read series. Can’t wait to see where she takes this series. Job well done !

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoenix Rising is book seven in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. I like this series with each new instalment, and have to say that Daniel and Megan’s story is the best so far. It was edgy, packed with action and bursting with passion and danger.

Megan and Daniel face a rough road, and the attraction he fights is both entertaining and frustrating. Maddie Wade draws out the intensity expertly and maddeningly. Burning with the relentless urge to know all the mystery surrounding their story, I turned the pages way too quickly. I did not want their story to be over. I could have read about them for days more. A story bursting with heat, sexiness and energy, Phoenix Rising is a must read. 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Imagine my surprise when I finished this book and found out that it was book 7 in the series. The beginning few chapters referenced characters that were clearing introduced in other books and I had my suspicions that I was missing something. However, I was able to understand the story line, so I continued reading. I could tell which characters were clearly the good guys and which ones needed to go. Other reviews say that this can be read as a stand-alone, I don’t really agree because you don’t get the back story of Rhea Winslow. Even Megan’s back story isn’t told in this book. So, I definitely think the books should be read in order. I do think this book is worth the price. Since this is my first book by Maddie Wade I am intrigued enough to read the others in this series.

This story was adventurous and dangerous and sexy. Daniel and Megan are hot together. I am not sure if these two are in the other books but wow they are good in this one. The other characters, the rest of the Fortis Security team, are amazing, entertaining, loveable. I know I am going to read the rest of this series. You should too!

Phoenix Rising: A Fortis Security Novel Book 7 Maddie Wade is yet another great addition to this great series. I have been waiting for Daniel’s story and I must say I was not disappointed. Good work Maddie! I have fallen in love with each and every character in this series whether it is the alpha males who will stop at nothing to protect those they love and consider family, or the wonderful women who are able to tame them. Maddie is an accomplished writer that writes stories that are engaging and compelling and leave you wanting more. Her characters make you fall in love with them and make you feel like you are part of their lives and their families. This story is full of action that will have you on the edge of your seat and oh so sexy scenes that will see you needing cigarette. I will be sad when this series comes to an end but in the meantime I look forward to Will’s story next.

I have been following along on the Fortis Security series journey and so far I have not read one that I didn’t enjoy. I would recommend that you do read them in order that way you can fully understand exactly where these characters have been, are going. There is some intertwining storylines that may be a bit confusing if read out of order, but I could also see where an experienced reader wouldn’t mind reading a few out of order.

In book seven, Phoenix Rising, we follow along on the journey of Megan and Daniel. Oh Mylanta! I felt for these two so deeply! Both of them endured some horrendous traumas. Love was the last thing on their mind, but fate and life often has plans in store for us that we don’t see coming. They each have many layered and complex personalities. Daniel is a complicated man. What you see is not necessarily what he is all about. There is way more under the surface to this man. As for Megan, I just wanted to give her a squeeze several times throughout the novel. She is such a sweetheart, but she definitely can hold her own. She does struggle to find her place in this world now that she is post her trauma.

Their story will keep you on your toes between the hot and steamy love scenes that will have you fanning yourself and needing a tall glass of ice water (or wine), and the intrigue and mystery that takes place for them as well. I look forward to see what will come next in this series.

Phoenix Rising is the seventh book in Maddie Wade’s Fortis Security series. I fell in love with her writing AND the series with the first book I picked up and now I am following her on all possible platforms in order not to miss the next book! Please do not read this story as a standalone; you will miss so so much!
Phoenix Rising is the story of Daniel – second in command at Fortis Security and a widower and a single father – and Megan – a doctor and one of the Bennett siblings (who you will have met in previous books if you are a fan like me). The chemistry between them is combustible and nothing can stop it! This story is filled with emotion, secrets, grief, anger, danger and love … Every book in the series pulls you further into this intricate world that the writer has created and that she keeps adding to … it leaves no one cold and an outsider … you get invested in the people and the relationships and the stories and … you cannot wait for Digital Desire that is the next one in the series!

Phoenix Rising: A Fortis Security Novel Book 7 (Fortis Security Series)
by Maddie Wade
5 Stars

Phoenix Rising by Maddie Wade is the seventh installment of the Fortis Security Series. This installment is about Daniel Thompson and Megan Bennett. Although Daniel can be very protective, he has a soft side. He is very attracted to Megan Bennett, but he is trying to restrain his feelings for her. Megan is not only beautiful but she is also warmhearted, charitable and intelligent. She is always ready to help others. Megan is also attracted to Daniel and the chemistry between them is palpable. Be prepared with a fan because here will be some scenes while reading that may cause you to fan yourself? While this story is a romance, the whole book isn’t lovey dovey, there is also danger. Megan is in a dangerous predicament, will Daniel be able to save her? Will Megan’s dangerous predicament bring them closer together and finally have a happily every after? The only way to find out is by reading this story. I truly enjoyed reading Daniel and Megan’s story. Although I have read a few books from this series, I have not read the complete series sequentially. I recommend this story and series and plan to go back and read the series in order.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Phoenix Rising, the seventh book in the Fortis Security series by Maddie Wade, is a military themed romance that follows characters that have been introduced throughout this series with each feature a specific set of individuals with overlapping secondary characters that support the characters. The overall theme that carries through this series is very well written, but each story could be read separately noting how well the author has laid out the book(s). I do recommend reading each story that is a part of this series, as it creates a very in depth and involved story to follow with great character development, suspense and, of course, romance that falls into the characters’ lives. In Phoenix Rising, the author immediately dives into the suspense and drama – Daniel and Megan are thrown together under less than ideal circumstances, but the sparks are undeniable. I found that Maddie Wade handle the ups/downs of this story/series with finesse and expertly carries the reader through the story. A great novel and series for those who love action tied in with suspense and romance.

Phoenix Rising was a great 5 star read and book 7 in the Fortis Security Series.

I loved this book and it’s characters. You get pulled in right from the beginning with the prologue, my heart just broke for Daniel and his daughter.

We jump ahead a year when Megan is in a serious accident, but was it an accident? And Daniel is struggling with his feelings for her, which come out tenfold when he sees her at the accident scene. He is no longer willing to worry about what his best friend and her brother will do when he finds out how he feels.

After their one night together Megan couldn’t get Daniel out of her head and heart. But he was treating her like she didn’t exist, not understanding why. She then discovers something that will change both of their lives, how will he react to the news?

This man was probably the most dangerous man in the world to her, part of her knew she should run, but the bigger part of her wanted to curl up at his feel like a contented kitten.

We move forward with this great read, to encounter more secrets along with more dangerous twists and turns, especially when the past comes back to haunt Megan. Will Daniel and the Fortis Security team be able to keep her safe? This was an on the edge of your seat, nail biting read. I read this in one sitting, I just couldn’t put it down. I really loved all of the secondary characters, they are like one big family. I’m super excited to get my hands on the next book in the series. I highly suggest 1-clicking and getting started today on this great series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Phoenix Rising is the seventh book in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. This is a romantic suspense- with action, adventure, emotion, danger, thrills, intrigue, mystery, special ops, secrets, loss, guilt, grief, camaraderie, belonging, drama, second chances, intense chemistry, facing fears, and romance. But, let’s face it, Ms. Wade had me at the mention of Daniel Thompson- I have been intrigued by him and his story since meeting him back in book one. So, I was excited to get my hand on this book, reading avidly right from the very first page, till the last word. I was completely hooked- I read it in one sitting and loved every word.
I have loved everything about this series, with each book outdoing the one before it- this book has become my favourite out of the series so far- but then I have said that about every book, they are all sooo good. This could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the previous books to get all the relevant backstory and character introductions that will give you a better understanding of the series and characters, and will enhance your reading experience- not to mention that the other six books are fantastic stories in their own right/s.
This story picks up where Arctic Fire (Book #6) left off, and centres on Daniel Thompson who is an Ex-SAS Commander and the second in charge of Fortis Security. He is a widower and single father to his adorable daughter Paige. Daniel has had more than his fair share of heartache, carrying the burden of guilt and pain over the death of his wife. He is a man of few words, an alpha with a fiercely protective streak. His number one priority is to ensure his daughter stays safe, and to find a way to avenge his wife’s murder. He isn’t interested in a relationship, focusing on his family and ‘job’. So, he is totally unprepared for the effect that his best friend’s younger sister would have on him.
Megan Bennett is a brilliant doctor (scientist) who is coming to terms with being reunited with her loving family after more than 20 years of forced separation. She was raised by a horrible, vile woman- but thanks to Fortis Security who extracted her, she has is now back with her true family. She has had trouble adjusting- never having experienced a loving family environment, belonging, or love. She feels that Daniel is the only one who truly sees ‘her’- and he has captured her heart. But there are secrets that jeopardises everything she holds dear. What does the future hold for her and Daniel?
Ms. Wade certainly doesn’t do things by halves, and she certainly makes her characters ‘work’ for any happiness- there were points where I think ‘How much more can they take?”- Daniel and Megan have been through so much, and again in this story they both will be tested. As with every book of Ms. Wade’s that I read, she held the tension, intrigue and suspense at an elevated level throughout the book- and kept me guessing most of the way through- she expertly added twists and surprises that also ramped it up a few more notches. I adored the ending, and that epilogue is everything!!!
This is a quick (180pgs), easy and fast-paced read, and is a superb addition to the captivating series!
I can’t wait to read Digital Desire, the next book in the series!

Thank you, Ms. Wade!
