My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Action-packed thrill ride! Pavlo maybe the alpha-hole that you think he is but he totally seems worth it. Regan is almost everything you want in a FMC, except too selfless. She should totally care about what happens to herself, which she never does.

Regan is a romance author on a short book tour with Pavlo, a spy thriller author. Pavlo is also a highly-skilled private security contractor. That part of Pavlo’s world is just kept on the DL. When Regan is unknowingly pulled into an assassination plot, she tries to figure it out on her own but gets in way over her head. Pavlo and his former SEAL friends are there to protect Regan from the crazies and, as it seems, herself.

There is a major twist when the action starts going down. People Regan thought were not loyal turn out to be her allies. People Regan thought would always have her back were only using her for their own benefit. All except Pavlo. He has been there from the beginning of this mess and despite him saying that he could only be a short-term situation, he appears to be very much in for the long-term.

This author writes genuine characters. There was some great banter. Even a few laughs along the way but what gets you the most is the selflessness Regan shows for her daughter. Fantastic read!

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)

As much as I enjoyed the first book in this series I think I loved this one more. I was completely sucked in from the first page until the very end.

This book has a little bit of everything a hot protective alpha, mystery, danger and romance.

Pavlo and Regan worked from the very beginning, even though they didn’t get along and were thrown together due to the book convention.

Regan is the type of woman I strive to be and stick to my beliefs no matter how difficult it may be and it was very difficult for her to do it.
This is definitely worth the time and I can’t wait to read more.

Regan and Pavlo are quite the match. They have a history and can’t stand each other. When they have to spend time together due to being paired by their publicist on a book tour the lines between love and hate start to blur. Things are going as expected until Regan starts to get threats. As much as he would like to let her deal with this situation on her own he can’t turn his back on her, especially when there is a child involved and he may be starting to catch feelings. Being in the field of protecting also plays a huge part in Pavlo throwing himself in between Reagan and any harm that is coming her way. The suspense will make you keep turning those pages to find out what happens next. The slow burning romance will make you wonder why they weren’t a couple to begin with since the underlying attraction was clearly there. I’m not sure how many books are in this series, I’m banking on five at least since in book one it mentions Cade and four of SEAL brothers, but the next one can’t get here soon enough.

This was a thrilling 5 star read. I really liked these two and their story. They love to hate each other until love brings them together. This was a slow burn but it really pulled me in. We get so many twists and turns. We get danger, drama, LOL moments and so much more. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I love protective alpha male characters and Pavlo definitely was that. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The story was in dual POV which I love so we can see what they are both thinking. The author did a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read her next book. 1-click and get started today.

This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security Series, and I love it even more than the first! We start out with a tense situation between Pavlo, Regan, and their publicist. It really paints the picture of how Regan and Pavlo see each other in the beginning. While they aren’t each other’s favorite person, you can feel the chemistry build through each chapter. I really enjoyed how quickly this book flew by with the twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. There is plenty of suspense, romance, drama, and action throughout the entire book. While this can absolutely be read as a standalone, you won’t want to miss any of this author’s incredible work! I highly recommend giving this one a chance, you won’t regret it!

Regan is a divorced single mother living her dream as an author. Just when she thought that her next book tour would go smoothly until her publicist told her that she not only would have a guest on tour with her but also a private guest signing. Regan refused to meet for the private signing but little did she realize that by refusing it would create a domino effect throughout her private life. Pavlo, the book tour guest, is not only a fellow author but a retired Navy and owner of a security firm. Ragen didn’t want Pavlo on the book tour let alone having him catapulted into her personal life. This was a fantastic book. I was hooked from the very first chapter! Can’t wait to read more by this author.

This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series. The books in this series can be read as standalones as they focus on different couples, but the characters to appear in other books.
Pavlov and Regan’s story has elements of enemies to lovers, but Pavlov’s caring nature is revealed when Regan and her daughter are in danger. His protective nature and determination to keep the pair safe is part of what makes him so enjoyable. I like that Regan is also a strong character, she stubborn in wanting to do what’s best for her daughter and you can see her develop as a character as the story progresses.
The author has again created well-written, enjoyable characters and you can’t help but get invested in their lives, especially as their stories unfold and the chemistry grows.
The plot is well developed and had me hooked throughout. There were plenty of twists to keep me guessing, and the way these were written makes it easy to follow along as things shift.
I’m really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to get my hands on more!

I am not going to give away any spoilers but I will say I only worked part of it out. The main person was a total surprise. Pavlo and Regan are wonderful characters who will weave their way into your heart and have you on their side right from the start. This talented authors writing is compelling, creative and simply should not be missed!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging enemies to lovers romantic suspense thriller, which had me hooked throughout. When Regan Christenson and her daughter are threatened she turns to former Navy SEAL Pavlo Barislov, even though he annoys her. Pavlo finds Regan just as annoying but does not hesitate to protect her especially as the danger increases, but thankfully Pavlo has a relationship with Shadow Defense Security. The couple find themselves in an unexpected minefield full of deceit and treachery, and Pavlo starts to doubt whether he can keep them all alive. What neither of them expected was the sizzling chemistry and growing connection between them. This was an action packed story with great characters, and a slow-burn romance at the heart of the storyline. The plot twists kept me gripped and I found this book to be a real page turner. It can be read as a standalone story, and there are no cliffhangers.

What a wonderful addition to the series!! Maddie and David’s story flows so well with the continuation of all the others. Having read the previous books in the series there were some redundant parts but necessary for someone who started with this book. I’m not sure I like the ending because it just, well, ends. There’s no summation or even a fin. Overall great book!

The Magic Man (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 3)The Magic Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this book series, if I could give it more stars on the rating scale I would. The Magic Man is the third book in The Olympic Peninsula series, where we get to read the story of Joe’s older brother, David, and find out about what happened to cause him to return from his time working as a doctor in Africa. Not only do we get to follow along with David, but we also get to know Maddie’s story. The sparks were flying between David, Kilo, and Maddie, at the end of the last book in this series, it’s time to find out which guy she chooses to be with. Also, what is up with Sylvia, David’s fiancé from Africa, he claims he will not be marrying but has to deal with issues that are weighing heavily on him. I love that this series takes place in the Pacific Northwest, a place I know very well. Cat Treadgold has done an amazing job portraying the beauty of Port Townsend, and the feeling of unity that is so well-known in its small community. It’s great that we get to continue with the story of the main characters from the first 2 books in this series. This group has grown together, but sometimes being together all the time, can lead to feelings of being too close. Will each of the couples be able to work through their marital issues, or will we see some relationships that have been building take a turn for the worse? You will not want to put this book down once you start reading it, the best part, is you do not have to read them in the order that they were written, I prefer to do it this way, but each book can stand on its own just as well. You’ll just be missing out on some great stories if you skip any.

I absolutely enjoyed the first book in the series and this follow-up definitely did not disappoint at all. The author continues to write an action-packed, fast paced story with plenty of twists and turns. I absolutely couldn’t put it down until I had read the last page! I am always a sucker for that slow burn enemies to lovers relationship and this book definitely hit it out of the park. The author did a great job of creating well rounded characters that you really love and care about. Regan and Pavlo are fabulous together and seeing their relationship with each other grow and change, during all of the suspense and danger. This is a wonderful series that can be read in the series or as a standalone. I definitely can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

I like this series. Shadowed Agenda was a wonderful second book in the series. A suspenseful romance thriller. Keeping the reader on their toes trying to figure out what’s going to happen next. The author brought together two characters that dislike one another, did they really or was it for show?
Regan and Pavlo are a pair. Matched together to do a book tour by their publicist they couldn’t be any different. Personalities as well as what they write about. The idea was because they both sold rights to their books for entertainment purposes. What Regan doesn’t know is that writing is Pavlo’s side job. His real job is to serve and protect anyone who contacts the Shadow Defense Security team. A team made up of all ex-military personnel, especially Seals.
Regan quickly learns who Pavlo truly is when threats start to be made on her life. He instantly goes into protection mode. However what happens when lines blur and he wants more from this woman than to protect her. But that can’t be right, they drive each other crazy. She’s frustrating and stubborn. He’s egotistical and a player. Will she give in to what they are both feeling?
The author takes us on a while ride, with a budding relationship thrown in. A book that keeps you wanting more. A book with an ending twist one didn’t see coming. A book you should look into reading right now.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. Ava is taken by Kingston due to her brother’s debts. Ava is a strong character that definitely called to Kingstons dark desires. Ava is drawn to his dark and dangerous side. And boy do we get some hot and steamy moments.

Overall I really enjoyed this book.We get betrayal, danger, very dark, secrets and so much more. We get dual POV which I love so we can see what both of them are thinking. The author does a great job with her writing and I didn’t want to put it down until I was done. We do end on a cliffhanger since there is a part two and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

This book grabbed me from the beginning. This is a true dark mafia story. Please heed the trigger warnings if you feel you need to. I was completely drawn into this book with its drama, suspense, angst, chemistry, murder, great characters and more. King and Ava have definite chemistry but she hates him and he’s obsessed with her and he keeps going back and forth about what he wants to do with her. Both Ava and King have had a rough time in their lives and it has affected how they are as adults. This author has a way with words that make understand the feelings the characters are going through. This book leaves you on a bit of a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read book two. I recommend this book.

Oil and Water. Suspense, tension, enemies to lovers. Check. This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series. Yes, they technically could be read as standalones, but I felt having read the first book it helped fill in some of the background details. Personally, after first meeting Pavlo in book one was very excited to learn more about him and his story. Dual perspectives of Pavlo and Regan.
Pavlo is a suspense thriller writer with a secret, he is one of five partners of the Shadow Defense Security company. He’s the perfect undercover agent and more times than can count it came in handy for a mission. Only this time the mission is in his real life not one he can just be the author looking for research on a new book. Regan is a soft romance writer that has overcome a disastrous marriage and found her own both for her and her daughter, Emmeline, who has a congenital heart defect. She has become very independent and doesn’t need help from anyone but learns the hard way, sometimes the strongest thing we can do is ask for help. One encounter month earlier left an unpleasant impression in each other’s mind of the other. Now a five-day book tour forces them together and it might be the best thing to ever happen to them. Their publicist Isla, once seen as Regan’s friend and trusted by both Regan and Pavlo, is acting desperate about a private book signing and not acting herself. New friends’ allies turn into friends and enemies turn into so much more.
Why has Isla changed so suddenly? Does Regan’s ex have a deeper role? Can Pavlo succeed in keeping Regan safe when everyone is after her? A deeper dive into Pavlo was beyond anything I could have imagined. He’s very different from Cade in book one and yet both couples are similar in their desires to protect those around them. I have said it before and will say it again. I love enemies to lovers and love knowing a book has a HEA from the beginning because the hope lives inside our hearts as we discover the overwhelming twists and turns, they survive to reach that happy ending. I cannot wait to see what partner we will read about next, Javier? Drake? Or Seb? Only time will tell but, in the meantime, I will be going back and reading Gray Code Liaison, the prequel to Cade’s story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. Even though it is part of a series, each book is about a different member of the team so they can be read as a standalone. However I feel once you have read one you will want to read more to discover every member of the team. These book are romance Suspense read with a touch of enemies to lovers, lots of sizzling chemistry and danger really makes this story a gripping read.We’ve got a protective male and a female who is strong willed and no damsel in distress so she doesn’t make his life easy.

This is Pavlov and Regan’s story. Pavlov and Regan are on the same book tour, both promoting this new books. However they can’t stand the be around each other. Regan sees him as a alpha male and from past experience she wants nothing to do with men like that.
Pavlov sees Regan as a woman who is stubborn and strong willed and to much hassle. He plans to get through this book tour and go their separate ways with as little interaction as possible.
However that all changes when Regan and her daughter are threatened and despite himself Pavlov can’t help but step in to protect her, whether she wants his help or not.
Who is threatening Regan? Do they pose a serious danger? Can Pavlov protect her and her daughter? And what happens when it becomes impossible to keep his distance anymore and feelings start to become more complicated.

I love these books. Each guy is unique and the story’s are fast paced with engaging characters which makes them an enjoyable read.

Wicked Ends: A Dark College Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Series, Book 8 ) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Jessica Stone

I can’t say it enoughhhh, I absolutely love this book series! The boys, major heart eyes, and the lovely ladies, they’ve all quickly grown on me. But I cannot stress this more, you have to start from the very beginning, there is no hopping in Willy Nilly, you will be VERY lost and lose out on some awesome character building, family building, relationship drama loveliness.

I believe this character is going to finish out this series, the broody last brother Shane, personally I believe he’s a bit more of a tortured soul then the other boys were but, that’s a personal opinion. I’ve enjoyed how every book gets a bit more, crazy, mores going on, building up, headed towards a crazy climax.

Winter, to be honest, not my favorite character, she rubbed me a bit raw with her treatment of Shane in the past, but as always if I start out not to keen on a character somehow Isla pulls out a perfect redemption for them and by the end I’m sold. I’m pretty sure I spent the first half of this book holding my breath, trying to keep it together, these poor boys have been through the wringer but, worth it. All of it was perfectly crafted, this whole series, each individual character and their stories which all tie perfectly together. I can’t praise this series enough.

I will definitely be going back through and re reading from the beginning of this series when it’s finished just to get the full experience back to back cohesively, though it won’t be like reading them the first time, I have high hopes it’ll be just as good even knowing what’s going to happen.

This series is such an awesome read about the four elite guys at Hidden Valley School and the girls they care for. I would suggest reading this series in order, not because you have to, but because it’s a great series, and you get to see a lot about each of the main male characters as they are present in each other’s stories and lives, being as they are all four related and best friends as well. Also note, this series has two books, a continuation duo for each of the four heroes, making it an eight-book series with a novella that comes before the first book in the series.

This is the conclusion to Shane and Winter’s story as well as the finale of the series, and though I’m sad to see it go, I’m so glad I found it to begin with. Isla Vaughn has written a phenomenal series here with love, danger, teen angst, drama, and so much more! I can’t wait to see what this author does next!

Shane and Winter have both faced a lot in their lives and they both carry emotional baggage and damage from their pasts! Can two damaged souls learn to trust each other and find something beautiful within the other? Will the danger surrounding them come crashing down on them? Find out these answers and more in this amazing finale!

It is also amazing to get to see the 5-year time-lapse at the end of the book, where we can see what the couples are up to and how they have grown etc. or if they are still together. Because can these couples who have faced so much really get past their Savage, Brutal, Cruel, and Wicked realities to find their happily ever afters?

I have been waiting for the conclusion of Shane and Winter’s journey and the end of the Hidden Valley Elite simultaneously…and I was a smidge disappointed. I felt like book 8 was rushed. And it could be me being biased because Isla Vaughn is most definitely a one click author for me and maybe I wasn’t ready…

I think they could have a little bit more justice for all the wrongs that they had in their lives.

I AM looking forward to her next series. I’m sure she’ll keep us on the edge of our seats/beds…wanting to throw our Kindles.
