Secure Again (Chase Security Series Book 2)Secure Again by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

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 Again was a great read, one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and one that I would highly recommend!

Secure Desire (Chase Security Series Book 1)Secure Desire by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Desire was a 5+ star read and A Chase Group Novel.
All I can say is wow, I was pulled in right from the beginning.

Cassie is an FBI agent who has had a couple of huge tragedies in her life. She has closed herself off from any type of relationship, she’s damaged.
Ian Chase met Cassie six years prior and was smitten with her, seeing her again now has brought the feelings back and he starts to pursue her. Ian is an ex-Navy Seal who owns his own successful private security team and I might add is extremely hot.

Cassie remembers meeting Ian but had suffered a traumatic event that has caused her to shut down and have panic attacks. She’s afraid to get close to anyone for fear of rejection.

You won’t like me once you know what I am – Cassie

There is a huge twist at a charity event that had my emotions all over the place. I will warn it does get graphic and had me cringing at times. My heart went out to Cassie and everything that she went through. I was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time waiting to see what was coming next. Can Ian and his team keep Cassie safe? Will Cassie finally let Ian into her heart?

There is so much more to this read. I loved all of the characters, they all added great elements to the story. Some I didn’t care for, some I loved. I can’t wait to see more from several of them. I highly recommend this read and I look forward to reading more from R.L. Dunn. I need more from the Chase Group. I loved them.

By R.L. Dunn
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Secure Again (Chase Security Series Book 2) by R.L. Dunn. It is a story that starts with a bang and doesn’t let you go until the final page. There is action, danger, mystery, and romance. I loved the characters of Dr. Elizabeth Reed and Martin Bailey. Elizabeth is a doctor who takes her oath to help patients very seriously. She is dedicated to her career and good at what she does. She also has a past that is painful to remember. When Austin Bailey, Martin’s brother ends up in the hospital and they meet again old memories resurface. Martin is a man who is intelligent, strong and the CEO of Chase Security. He can’t believe his eyes when he sees Elizabeth. Will anything happen between Elizabeth and Martin? Is their love for one another still there? There is a conspiracy of crimes that are being committed. Will Martin be able to keep Elizabeth safe? Will they get a HEA? Read this book to find out. This story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It has twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I grew to care about what happens to Elizabeth and Martin with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. The author does an amazing job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the pages. I enjoyed reading about all of the supporting characters that helped Elizabeth and Martin. There are also those with an evil agenda that must be stopped. Don’t miss out on an amazing tale that is exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Again: A Chase Group Story by R.L. Dunn is another winner. It is a thrilling and enticing read that is non stop action from the start to finish. There are so many players it is a wonder that R.L. was able to keep up with them all as it was a little daunting myself but she did a masterful job of weaving it all together to come out with a story that will have your heart pounding and your emotions on high alert. I really enjoy the Chase Group stories and love their characters. This one was a bit of a hard pill to swallow at the thought of what the evil men and women in this story were doing and I could not wait for their just deserts to be served with a side of whipped cream. It is choc-a-block full of action and danger, secrets and lies, heartache and love.

Dr. Elizabeth Reed is one strong and sassy, independent and beautiful woman but she is heartbroken. She has long suspected that things have not been right with the injuries she sees on some of her patients. When she asks questions she doesn’t realise she is now putting herself in life threatening danger. However, when doing everything she can to save a life, she comes face to face with the one person who shattered her heart.

Martin Bailey is the CEO of Chase Security International, but all that is left behind when he has a family emergency. Whilst waiting for answers he finds himself face to face with the one person who tore his heart out and stomped on it. What he finds when he gets to the hospital will require the whole of Chase Security and then some to bring the monsters to justice.

The book is extremely fast paced and will have you biting nails and on the edge of your seat. Not one to be missed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much if not more than the first one. If you have not read the first book, I highly suggest doing so. This is a well written story that has great details that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I had no issues connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life. Chase security is back in this romance-mystery story that is full of action and steamy characters. There have been quite a few prisoner injuries and there seems to be some type of pattern. Will they solve this mystery before more lives are lost? We also have a little rekindling romance starting between Dr. Elizabeth and Marty. What will fate have in store for them? This story has such great supportive characters that I enjoyed reading their story. I highly recommend reading this book.

Secure Desire (Chase Security Series Book 1)Secure Desire by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secure Desire by R. L. Dunn is not your typical romance story. R. L. Dunn wrote characters that were believable and lovable. This story takes you on a journey with Chase and Cassie. Be prepared because it is a roller coaster ride but it is worth all the emotions that come along with the story. When you are a soldier like Chase and have some lingering feel about your tour in Afghanistan your everyday life seems so different. Chase came back to get in the security business with his brother and did not expect to run into his love interest, Cassie from 6 years ago. A lot has happened in the six-year in both of their lives. Will Chase be able to have a relationship after Afghanistan? Will Cassie want a relationship with Chase? Are there secrets that either one of them does not want them to surface?

Secure Desire (Chase Security Series Book 1)Secure Desire by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

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!
I would like to read more from this author again in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secure Desire is one action – packed romantic suspense novel. It gives you everything from action, violence, twists and turns, and everything you would want in this genre! Ian Chase is an Ex Navy SEAL and now head the Chase Group which is a billion dollar security firm. Imagine to his surprise when his brief encounter with a very engaged art historian that he had six years prior suddenly pops back into her life. Cassiopeia Ellis is no longer engaged and even though she suffers from amnesia, she remembers meeting Ian all those years ago. This is a good thing but it also scares the crap out of her. He has appeared in her life when someone out there wants her dead. This book had me at the edge of my seat THE WHOLE TIME! It was such a thrilling ride and I can’t wait to dive into book 2!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When one night imprints in your mind and has never really forget it, but when a chance meeting with the same person stirs up those feelings again, do you go for it?

Ian is a ex-navy seal who has embarked on new horizons with new businesses, but when he meets a blast from his past, will he give love a chance or stay well away.

Cassie is trying to rebuild her life, after an attack she has been left with amnesia, until Ian comes into her life she remembers some of their history but this causes her to have anxiety of what will happen next.

This is the first book in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed the aspects of mystery, intrigue and interlaced with romance. The book held my attention throughout and was eager to race through to get the end on who was after Cassie and the reason. Cassie and Ian’s characters where well developed and the chemistry came through the story.

The story itself was well written and weaved through the suspense and mystery well. I really enjoyed the fresh plot as some of these ex military can be the same but this was a great twist on this genre. I definitely recommend this story and can’t wait to read the next installment.

This is a full length novel, and can be read as a standalone. I for one will be looking for book 2. This book is for those 18 and older due to the adult theme. A spectacular start to this Romantic Suspense Series.

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

R.L. Dunn! WOW this book is intense! Starting with the first page. It is a fast read only because you can’t set it down until you have read the last page. R.L. Dunn has the perfect characters for this book. You will either love them or hate them. There is no middle of the road here. There are also no spoilers. You will have to read it to believe it. I just know I want to be like Cassie, and have Ian as a close friend. Well Done R. L. Dunn! I can’t wait to read the next book in this series…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Desire is the opening move of Chase Security Series by R.L. Dunn. It is my first read by this writer and as I was feeling for some action packed romance then I decided to take a chance on the series (I love series as it gives me hope for more great books to come … add to this the family aspect and I am more than willing to take the chance).
Secure Desire gives us plenty of mystery, murder, violence, hidden agendas, clandestine ops, family, friendship, explosive chemistry and so much more! The first brother up is Ian Chase who is an ex-Navy SEAL heading a billion dollar venture capital and private security empire with a global reach. Six years earlier he met briefly a beautiful art historian Cassiopeia Ellis. He remembers her but he ‘let her go’ as at the time she was engaged … now, meeting her again, she is working for the FBI and a free agent (not engaged or married) … Add to this the fact that Cassie remembers meeting Ian but not much else from that night except the intense nightmares that she is haunted by. Their chemistry is explosive but she is a bit hesitant as she does not remember much of that night and is concerned he would not want to have anything to do with her if her secrets come out …
The writer takes us on a mad rollercoaster ride and I suggest you hold on tight to your seat and take notes as there are many characters and who knows how many of them we will encounter when we get to the next book (which I already have downloaded and waiting for me!)! Come along and join the chase and you will not regret the hours you’ll spend with Ian and Cassie and co!

This was a great action packed story. It contains everything I love. Mystery, romance, a dominant protective man and a strong independent woman. It was an amazing read that kept me gripped from page one. The characters are so well written you can’t help but feel the feelings they are experiencing.

Cassie is a strong independent woman who has suffered trauma in her life. After losing her family in an accident she was all alone. When she was attacked it changed her whole outlook on life and the people in it. She finds it hard to trust and let down her guard. Six years later she is working with the FBI. With a boss that is constantly harassing her sexually it makes all her old fears come back to the surface. Can she trust any man?

Ian is a successful business man of Chase Security. His job is protection and when he meet Cassie straight away his feelings towards her become more than just bring protective of her. He senses something bad in her past but until she confides in him he doesnt know what that is. Can he prove to her that not all men are the same? Can she let herself trust a man ever again?

With danger out to get her and troubles at work with her boss can Cassie trust Ian enough to let him protect her before its too late.

Secure Desire is the first book in the Chase Security Series by R.L. Dunn. It’s the first time that I have read any of this author’s work but it certainly will not be the last. I was enticed by the blurb on this book and thought it would be the kind of book that I’d enjoy, so decided to give it a try. I’m so glad that I took a chance on this book as I absolutely loved it.
This book is filled with drama, mystery, murder and intrigue and had me hooked from the very beginning and did not let me go. The author takes you on a fantastic journey and you just don’t know where to story is going to go next. It’s a very well written and obviously well thought out storyline which flows very well and keeps the reader fully engaged.
There is quite a large amount of characters in addition to Ian and Cassie, the 2 main characters but all have an important part to play and I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of some of them in the future books in the series. I adored both of the main characters Ian and Cassie. Cassie is so broken and Ian is just the perfect guy to put her back together again. Can I also add that the sexy times between them are smoking HOT!
I really can’t wait to read more of this series as Secure Desire really had me hooked and I loved every minute of it.

The first thing I have to say about Secure Desire is simply awesome! I really really loved this book, I don’t know what I was expecting when I first started but it wasn’t such an enthralling read. Cassie Modine is a strong, independent FBI Special Agent. Her whole life was changed after being made an orphan as a teen then when she experienced a traumatic night 6 years previously that she has no memory of, when she is confronted by her past those who have hurt her decide to ensure that their secrets stay buried. Ian Chase is a billionaire ex-Navy SEAL who now runs his own security firm, by chance he meets Cassie again and his special skills are needed to ensure that she stays safe. This was a really fast paced and action-packed story with lots of twists that I definitely didn’t see coming, I just couldn’t put it down until I knew the truth. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

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 book 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. I will be looking forward to future books from this author and in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4 ½ Stars

Secure Desire is the first book in the Chase Security series by R.L Dunn, and is a really great action-packed romantic suspense- with mystery, murder, intrigue, violence, brutality, spills and thrills, hidden agendas, sinister plots, clandestine ops, covert organizations, private security, family, friendship, Politics, loss, betrayal, chemistry….. and soooo much more.
Ian Chase is an ex-Navy SEAL turned successful business man, now heading up the Chase Group, a billion dollar global empire in the venture capital and private security sector. He has never forgotten a brief encounter with a beautiful, but engaged, art historian he met six years earlier. So, imagine his surprise when he unexpectedly encounters her again- only now she’s no longer engaged or married, and works for the FBI. He knows there is more to the story, and to her, than she’s letting on. Secrets surround her. And he’s determined to get to the bottom of it all.
Cassiopeia Ellis remembers meeting Ian, and he’d made quite the impression on her. But she remembers very little else from that night. She suffers from amnesia and is haunted by nightmares from a very traumatic experience. Running into Ian again after all these years, both thrills and terrifies her. She still feels their electric chemistry and magnetic pull- but she is deathly afraid that he’ll discover her secret and then won’t want anything to do with her. Much better to push him away, than to suffer the pain and embarrassment of rejection. But Ian has arrived at a point where he is able to really help Cassie- as someone seems to want her dead. Can Ian protect her and keep her safe? Who has targeted Cassie, and why? What happened to her six years ago, and what has that got to do with the present threat? All the answers to these questions, and more, can be discovered between the covers of this suspenseful read!
I really enjoyed this book. I was intrigued right from the beginning, totally engrossed the whole way through. There were some shocking, emotional, and violent moments that had me anxiously reading, on the edge of my seat to discover if things would turn out ok. There was a lot going on, and so much to keep track of, too.
R.L Dunn has written a complex, multi-layered story full of clever interconnected details which gives it a real unpredictability- she kept me guessing the whole way through. I had so many scenarios running through my head, trying to piece everything together and work out what was going on. I though that aspect of the writing, and story, was really well done.
I loved Ian and Cassie, they were so easy to like and invest in. I really felt for Cassie and what she’d been through, and what she was going through!!! OMG- R.L Dunn really put her through the wringer. And then there’s Ian- his protective Alpha hotness was swoon-worthy. I also love Kieran, and Monique, Lil and Declan, Luke and Rachel…. And Hunter, such a sexy man- I’d sure like to know more about him!
The story was meticulously researched, or the author has experience in the field- with all the medical terminology, equipment, and medications that were used in the story, as well as the security lingo and weaponry etc. The story was detailed and vividly descriptive.
The only issue I had, was that there are a LOT of characters in the story- I counted over 130 NAMED characters- which was a lot to keep track of! I didn’t think they all required naming, especially passers-by on the street/hallway, or the nurse at her station etc- especially since many don’t any play a further part in the story. It just was a lot to take in- I like to remember names and places during a story, especially when I’m trying to piece everything together, like in this book- so I found the ‘extra names’ a little ‘messy’ to the overall tight plot-lines. This didn’t detract too much from the storyline, but it was a little distracting, and at times, confusing.
I am really looking forward to reading more of R.L Dunn’s work.

Thank You, R.L Dunn!

Secure Desire (Chase Security Series Book 1) by R.L. Dunn
Will Ian and Cassie get their second chance at love, or will her secret destroy them both?
After Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Ian Chase’s last brutal tour in Afghanistan, he and his brother resumed control of their private security company and the rest of their international conglomerate, Chase Group. At a charity function, Ian has a chance meeting with art historian Cassiopeia Ellis and is surprised to learn she’s undercover with the FBI. He’s even more drawn to this enigmatic redhead than the first time he met her.
An FBI agent specializing in uncovering stolen art, Cassie is plagued by nightmares and fear surrounding an unfathomable trauma she sustained six years earlier–the same night she originally met Ian Chase. Seeing him again stirs up the feelings she once had for him, along with ghosts from her past. The problem? She’s repressed her memories of the crisis she endured that night.
Cassie’s enemies need to snuff her out before she can remember what happened that fateful night. Can Ian keep Cassie safe from harm, or will her desire to shield him from her past obliterate any chance of a happily ever after together?

What a brilliant introduction to R.L. Dunn this book has been. Secure Again: A Chase Group Story is an exciting, thrilling read that has danger, mystery, action, suspense and romance, to me some of the best genres a book can have. This book had me on the edge of my seat numerous times throughout and kept me wondering what could happen next. This was addictive read that had me turning the pages, and before I knew it I had finished it. It was a mentally visual read that felt as though you was there alongside the characters. R.L. Dunn not only created an epic storyline, but even better characters that brought this story to life, even more, Dr Elizabeth Reed & Martin Bailey. Elizabeth was a strong, smart & independent and Martin was the perfect male main character, they really did have some great interaction that made their journey in this read even more worthwhile.

I can’t wait to read more books of this series and enjoy more of what this author has to offer. I highly recommend this read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is a LOT going on in this story and there are a LOT of characters to keep track of. It took me a little bit to settle in to the story because I was trying to keep track of who is who. I think I was initially lost was because they were introduced with full name AND nickname. I had to get used to the cadence and once I did, I was able to go with the flow of the story.

This is a really well paced thriller that moves along rapidly and appropriately. The main female protagonist is a strong personality who stands up for what she believes in “would you say that to a male doctor?”. She holds true to her values and is willing to put personalities aside to find out the truth.

The story is clearly plotted from beginning to end and stays on point without straying to far into secondary story lines. I did not think there was a lot of filler as it has a very strong beginning, middle and end. I did not read this is one sitting, but if you have the time and attention span, I believe it could be tackled in one day.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Again: A Chase Group Story by R. L. Dunn was a fast pace, action packed read that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read from this author or in this series, so I was excited to get my hands on this read. Wow, this book hit the ground running, and like the other book in this series it was complex, action packed and super entertaining. I love all the characters, but the MC’s stole the show for me. Elizabeth, strong, sexy, smart. and kickass, she was a powerhouse with a heart of gold. That heart is what gets her into hot water, that could cause her life. Martin was great, not to alphsish, strong, sassy and just a joy to read about. I loved their interactions and the way their second chance romance got under way, even if it was due to unsavory circumstances. The plot was complex, solid and it gets your blood going, and the nerves on high alert. This book has a little bit of everything and it’s a hard must read form me.

To end this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval

Happy Reading

Secure Again is the second novel in this series and can be read as a standalone. It was an amazing novel from start to finish. The storyline was easy to follow and I loved the main characters. Martin and Elizabeth were wonderful to follow. I loved that Elizabeth was a strong female doctor who stood up for herself in her field. She was my favorite person in this novel. I felt the story was addicting and had an excellent climax and romance development. This is such an amazing series and I look forward to more from this author.

Secure Again is the second book in the series A Chase Group Story by R. L. Dunn. This author is becoming on my list of authors to read. Her characters are full of life and that I am relationship with them. I know this is true as my husband keeps asking me why I am having a conversation with Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a trauma surgeon who is asked to help keep Martin alive. There is a past relationship that is surfacing and Elizabeth is wondering what is going on with all of the inmates that are coming in. Martin needs to have Elizabeth to keep him alive but how can she when was heartbreak in their relationship. There is mystery, thriller, and romance in the plot line (which is what makes the book worth reading), I cannot wait to read the next story in the series.

Secure DesireSecure Desire by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secure Desire is one action – packed romantic suspense novel. It gives you everything from action, violence, twists and turns, and everything you would want in this genre!

Ian Chase is an Ex Navy SEAL and now head the Chase Group which is a billion dollar security firm. Imagine to his surprise when his brief encounter with a very engaged art historian that he had six years prior suddenly pops back into her life.

Cassiopeia Ellis is no longer engaged and even though she suffers from amnesia, she remembers meeting Ian all those years ago. This is a good thing but it also scares the crap out of her. He has appeared in her life when someone out there wants her dead.

This book had me at the edge of my seat THE WHOLE TIME! It was such a thrilling ride and I can’t wait to dive into book 2!
