By the last page I was reading through tears. What a book! I love a second chance romance, and Thomas and Raynas story was so sweet but full of challenges. When Rayna finds Mason and calls Thomas for help I just knew it was going to be a wild ride. My heart hurt for poor Mason and everything he went through, but I loved every minute of reading about the three of them coming together to fight for him.

I loved it. I loved Tara, I loved Jace, I loved the mystery. Ashley A Quinn really knows how to pack a lot in one novel, in the best way! I was thoroughly invested from the beginning. The tragedy they each dealt with, the healing and learning to take that leap to love again. It was bittersweet but also so heartwarming. Then trying to piece together who was after Tara and why kept me flipping pages. Can’t wait to open the next in the series!

Seductive Prey is the first book in The Relentless Trilogy by Vivian Fiano. This isn’t my first book that I have read by Ms. Fiano, but it is definitely my favourite (so far). I can’t resist a good romantic suspense- so I happily snapped up a copy and devoured it in a matter of hours. The story is well written, and the suspenseful aspect of the story is cleverly woven- making for a gripping, action-packed ride. I thought that Ms. Fiano did a fantastic job with her character development- crafting fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. Jordan and Grant, in particular, were so easy to like- and before I even realised, I had invested in them and the outcome of their story. I will have to wait to find out how everything plays out, as this story ends on a cliffhanger that has me anxious to get my hands on Book #2- “Graceful Abduction”. This is romantic suspense done well- with plenty of action-packed danger; and with time slipping away, and a creepy stalker vibe happening- I was on the edge of my seat. The chemistry between our two MC’s is palpable and sizzles off the pages. I really can’t wait to get my hands on the next book- it really can’t come soon enough!
This is the 7th book in the Wounded Hearts series. Even though the books are in a series they can be read as a standalone. I loved this story as it mixes my two favourite elements, Romance and danger.
Maggie Holt is a DEA agent. She has just come out of a undercover assignment with a Mexican Drug Cartel which almost cost her her life. Now she needs to take some time to get over the experience and recover.
So when Frank a former SEAL offers her a place to stay on his ranch is seems a perfect solution. Frank hopes his peaceful ranch will help Maggie heal and also give him time to show her how much he cares for her.
This could be a perfect romance but with Maggie’s partner wanting her as well a love triangle forms. But with danger around every turn with escaped convicts and extremist groups against them can they work together as a team to remain safe and alive or will the competition for Maggie end up costing someone their lives.
Malina Johansson is an ordinary woman working as an analyst for a team of Navy SEALs, but she has secrets in her past which nobody can know about and Tyler Hale is one of three brothers and is on the Navy SEAL team which Malina is the analyst for, they have known each other since high school, but Malina has walls around her heart because of her past and Tyler wants to know the woman behind them because they have an attraction which is off the charts. That all changes when they go to Las Vegas for the birthday of a mutual friend and everyone knows that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so the alcohol flows and inhibitions lower and Malina and Tyler end up in bed together for the second time, but when she wakes up, Malina slams her walls back up and flees the room with no memories of the night before, but she thinks no more about it and goes back to ignoring Tyler as best she can while Tyler is determined to get under her skin, again as usual.
Five weeks later and Tyler is still pushing her buttons while she tries to ignore it, but she knows he is about to go on a mission which means she’ll have some breathing room while he is away, but things don’t go as planned and Tyler ends up being detained overseas longer than planned when his mission goes awry and this makes him realise that he can’t keep playing games with Malina any longer and is determined to win her over as soon as he returns to Pearl Harbour and debriefed. A few days into Tyler’s mission, Malina heads to the office after a disturbed night and an early morning dealing with the aftermath of it, all the while, she is reminiscing about a time in her life she would rather forget and sees an old friend at the harbour and stops for a quick chat which helps. It is hot, humid and she isn’t feeling her best when she approaches the front door, but she is shocked when she is waylaid by a coworker before she even gets through and what she is told shakes her to the core, she is suspected of treason and if she is seen, she will be arrested. Malina knows what she has to do and returns home to pack a few things, followed by a bus ride to the harbour via a corner shop and ATM for supplies, she stays as hidden as possible and asks her friend for their help to get to her destination. As she is about to leave, she sees a familiar face in the crowd and hopes that they are not there for her, so although she has only been there once, she heads to Tyler’s place, it is the only place she can think of to hide and hope that he will help her when he returns.
Over the next couple of days, Malina settles in and waits for Tyler while hoping that the conversation they will have will not deter him from helping her, even though it will mean danger for him, but when they do have that conversation, it is sober and over cards, this leads to truths being laid out on the table as they each reveal something which will affect the rest of their lives. Will Malina and Tyler be able to find out who has framed her for treason and the reason why, or will all the secrets of their past destroy them before they can? This is a thrilling ride as revelations occur and danger lies around every corner, it hooks you in and pulls you along as you follow the path and untangle the web of intrigue which surrounds the main characters.

This is the 3rd book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series and I loved it just as much as the first two. The author does an amazing job of making her characters so interesting and gripping that you are hooked right from the start.
In the book we follow the story of the 3rd Hale brother Tyler and Malina.
Malina and Tyler have a love hate relationship or so it would appear. However all the fighting and bickering is just to hide their true feelings for each other not that either will admit it.
When Malina runs into trouble at work by being accused of being a mole and a traitor she runs to the only person she knows and kinda trusts Tyler.
With secrets from her past coming back to haunt her, and trying to find out who is trying to set her up Tyler and his brothers have a big mission on their hands. Especially when Malina is kidnapped.
Can Tyler and the Hale brothers solve this and save Malina? What secrets does Tyler hold? And can Malina finally let her walls down and let Tyler and love in?

5 out of 5 stars
This is a great story/series and I just started reading this authors books and I am hooked. The characters are well written and amazing. The story line was awesome and could have come off the headlines in the news. The detail description was like I was in Honolulu and on there private island.

One night of drinking in Vegas is all it takes for her guard to drop, and to fall into his arms. Back home she keeps her distance but Tyler has a secret But Malina has one too. I wonder what the secrets are. Will Tyler break Malina’s walls down? Will they have a happily ever-after? You will have to read this story/series to find out what happens…..

Married to her own real life hero, Vivian met her love in Massachusetts where she was born and raised. She and her family now reside in sunny Florida and when she’s not writing she enjoys playing soccer, basketball, and football with her son.
Forged By Secrets (Book Three of the Deadly Isles Special Ops series) by Amy Mckinley was a great read! I hope this wasn’t the conclusion to the series, because I feel like I still need to know more! Plus I’m definitely not ready to read their world yet! This whole series makes me want to start Mckinley’s Gray Ghost series. This novel was action packed, full of twists and surprises and was so entertaining! This is probably one of the quickest reading series I have read because they’re all just so good and action packed. The first book I think is still my favorite, but this comes to a close second. I definitely can’t wait to read more from this author! She just continues to keep killing it with her books!

Hawk’s Cry is the second novel in the Satan’s Devils MC (Second Generation) series by Manda Mellett. This book really blew me away. It is my fourth or fifth novel as part of these interconnected MC series by this author and this one blew me away. I was hooked right from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down.
Hawk is Wizard’s VP in the Tucson chapter of the Satan’s Devils. He has followed in his father’s footsteps his whole life, but what if that isnt what he wants anymore?
Olivia is the ex-VP, Wraith’s, daughter, and like Hawk grew up on the compound. She is pregnant, newly married and ready to start her life at the compound. When everything she knows is ripped away will she be able to handle it?
The emotions in this novel were so intense! I absolutely loved that it touched on a very real topic that is getting more and more awareness in the real world everyday. Wonderful book and I cannot wait for the next one!

I was not disappointed with Book #2!! She did it again… reeled me in, hook, line, and sinker!
Truly, enjoyed reading about the next Hale brother, the woman that he loves, and how he conquers her heart. I was lost in both stories from the beginning and could not stop reading! Amy does a phenomenal job of setting up the intro to the next book!
Can’t wait to read about the last brother to lose his heart!!

This was one full novel with lots of layers and details, but the best part I love of Jacquie Biggar is that she can take a complicated story and make it easy to read. I really enjoyed this suspenseful romance that kept me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what would come next and how our characters would end up. Maggie is a relatable woman and really I found myself pulling for her throughout the whole thing ready to find out if she would end up safe and happily in love. This will be one you won’t want to put down so grab a drink and a comfy space and dive on in! I cannot wait to see what we will get next from Ms. Biggar.
The SEAL’s Temptation is the seventh book in the Wounded Hearts series by Jacquie Biggar. It is a wounded warrior/military romance and a romantic suspense full of danger, drama, emotion, action, a bit of a love triangle, PTSD, and twists + turns. It had all the ingredients needed to keep me hooked and hurriedly turning the pages, avidly reading all the developments to find out how everything would play out. This is the seventh book in the series, but can be read as a standalone if you wanted. But having said that, it does follow on from “Maggie’s Revenge” (Book #6) as Maggie is also a MC in this story- so I strongly suggest that reading that book before starting on this one as it will better help you appreciate this story. Maggie Holt is a DEA agent who is recovering from an undercover mission that nearly cost her life. Her 18month with the Mexican Drug cartel has played havoc with her mental and emotional wellbeing, leaving Maggie feeling quite broken, and a shadow of her former self. Frank Stein is a former SEAL and owner of the ranch. He hopes that the beautiful, peaceful setting of the ranch will help Maggie on her road to recovery. But what happens when we throw in a bit of a love triangle into the situation, and then add some escaped convicts, and an extremist group to the plot? We get an intense, and gripping read that definitely had its hooks in me right through till the end! I wonder what Ms. Biggar has in store for us next!

As her past rises to catch up with her, Malina must look to the one person that she trusts, Tyler.
Intense moments arise when Malina is accused of treason. Can Tyler help her save her reputation? Can two people who have a love/hate relationship work together and find common ground on which they can both stand?
This book is a true romantic suspense novel. The twists and turns leave you turning the pages as fast you can read.

As a romantic mystery, this book lives up to expectations. Xander, a Navy SEAL, is puzzled by events on recent missions. Riley, a graduate student at the University of Hawaii, struggles as strange events in her own life make her relive the nightmares of her childhood. Xander and Riley forge a fast bond after a chance meeting but will the secrets of the past and current events keep them from finding one another.
The book moves at a fast pace. The twists and turns kept me guessing as the mystery unfolded. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Readers will find it to be true to the genre.

Have you ever had that relationship that didn’t quite fit into your life when you thought it should? Have you ever had that relationship that you knew was bad for you but kept going back until the final straw broke?
Jaxon Hale is a former Navy SEAL with an honorable discharge after an injury on active duty. Jaxon is filling in for Captain Kane of the Honolulu Police to find a path that he can live with after the military. Kayla Kane returns to Honolulu after an encounter with her live-in boyfriend, Roy. Jaxon and Kayla share a past, but secrets have marred that past since Jaxon was a senior and Kayla was a freshman. After all this time, Jaxon and Kayla’s paths collide again. Trying to keep their families safe from hidden forces and working through the pain they both share, will Jaxon and Kayla finally find a place in their hearts for each other?
I truly loved this book. It’s full of passion, suspense, and real-life issues. Family plays a major part in the lives of both characters. Rebuilding after drastic life changes and finding a place to call home is something that I connected with, and other readers should too.
Most readers don’t like to start a series in the middle, but this book is a true stand-alone. It mentions characters from the first book but can definitely be read without reading the previous book.

Malina Johansson is an independent woman. She cannot allow herself to depend on anyone else, let alone fall in love. Not after losing the one true love of her life all those years ago.
Tyler Hale has always had a thing for Malina growing up. Now, the Navy SEAL has to figure out how to make her see that they are meant to be together. Throw in a mole who has been leaking secrets about the SEAL team’s missions, a hostage situation, and an island hideaway, and you’ve got a steamy romance story! Part of the Deadly Isles Special Ops series, this was a quick, exciting read that I couldn’t put down.

The SEAL’s Temptation: Wounded Hearts- Book 7 by Jacquie Biggar is a military romantic suspense story. There are several sub plots going on in this book, but Jacquie does a great job in tying them altogether giving us an action packed read. Her development of the characters is complex I love the fact that SEAL’s are never really civilians, they are a brotherhood and a family. Her writings of Maggie and her PTSD is believable and acutely palpable. This vivid page turner had my heart pounding in my chest and at attention as I was transported into the intrigue and drama, action and the journey and part of the team. The story is well written, and the words flowed easily. I didn’t realise it was book 7 in the series until after I had started reading so now, I need to go back and start at the beginning to where it all started and get everyone’s back story.
Auctioned (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 3): Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance by Via Mari
Three of the bodyguards have fallen and Matt’s story had been my favorite until I read this one.
Damian falls hard and fast when it come to Bryanna. I’m not sure if it was their circumstances or if he just knew she was the one. But we all know that love isn’t no matter the situation.
Bryanna is extremely brave and loyal, almost to a fault but she is fierce when her heart is all in.
I’m looking forward to getting time to continue reading this series and getting caught up.

Elite bodyguard Damian, is assigned to find a missing woman caught in the deadly world of trafficking. Bryanna has aura that entices Damian. It is supposed to be an easy job, but nothing is easy. Via Mari is a wonderful author. She has a gift that she shares with her readers. This novel had me anticipating what would happen next. I definitely recommend this author amd novel.

The SEAL’s Temptation: Wounded Hearts by Jacquie Biggar was a little hard to get into at first, not having read the first couple books of the series. There were a lot of characters to get to know. But the suspense was enough to keep me interested. Who would Maggie Holt choose to pick as her life partner now that she was free from her own personal hell? Would it be her partner Adam or the former Navy SEAL Chief Frank? Would Maggie be found for fit for duty once again with the DEA? A good southern Texas suspenseful romance with ranches and missing cattle. Well written story with lots of little details to keep you guessing.
Will love overcome it all? Even the mobster code? As attorney Braelynn Shaw finds herself submerged in the murky underbelly of organized crime with Seth Giordano. She realizes some choices are not so black and white as she thought they were. Not all choices can be taken back. This sinfully suspenseful book Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus has it all. Romance, danger, and graphic loves scenes between a good girl and the ultimate bad boy. Will there be a happily ever after or will Seth bring Braelynn over to the dark side?

Amy did not disappoint with the last Hale brother!! It was a page turner ending that I was not expecting at all! I am adding her books to my TBR stack!!
These books were a fun weekend read that I would recommend to anyone wanting to escape to Honolulu but can’t afford the plane tickets to get there!

Forged by secrets is the 3rd book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. This book is set during and after the previous novel in the series. Malina has secrets about her past that she doesn’t want getting out, and as such she has perfected the art of keeping people at arm’s length. However, her high school crush and current colleague Tyler is making that difficult for her. When Malina is falsely accused of committing treason, there is only one person that she can turn too. She escapes to Tyler’s private island home to find the answers she is looking for, however that is not the only thing she finds out. I really enjoyed this novel; I only wish it was longer. I liked all the books in this series so far, the characters are intriguing and well written, you really start to feel for them. I look forward to the next book.

This is a super quick read. While I enjoy these shorter romps I always find myself want more information. I didn’t feel too much of a connection between Seth and Shaw. They are already in a secret relationship when we meet them. This does have some action and possible triggers for some. Being it’s shorter everything moves as a faster pace. We do get to meet his siblings and father. Gia is a wonder to me. Dane seems harsher than Seth. But what is done for family and in the name of love astounds me.
Overall this one is almost too short for me. I wanted more info on the two main players.

This book is filled with twists and turns I did not see coming. Amy McKinley is able to do a great job mixing big adventures and epic romances in her stories. In Forged by Secrets Malina is on the run from a crime she did not commit. The only place she feels safe is with her Tyler, her long-time crush. With the help of a couple others Ty and Lina must find out who framed her and if their attraction to each other is worth everything. McKinley keeps everyone guessing until the very end of what will happen next?!

Billionaire and Dark mafia you can bet your chickens that I was there for this book. I love those two tropes and once I read the description I was a goner. So this is the 3rd book in the series but can be read as a standalone all this book made me want to do is go back and read the rest of the series because your girl is intrigued.
I really liked the characters. Bryanna is the niece of a rich socialite and becomes caught up in a sex trafficking ring. As you can imagine the stakes are high and it does keep it very interesting and tense. Damian is part of the elite group of Billionaire bodyguards, when he is tasked to find Bryanna and he’s up for the challenge.
I really enjoyed reading this and I will be going to read the rest of the series by this author. Really enjoyed.

Forged by Secrets is the 3rd book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. It could probably be read without reading the previous 2 books. It does have overlapping characters, Ty’s brothers are featured in book 1 and 2. However, they are all great books, so even if you start here, go back and read the first 2, then the Gray Ghost series (which is mentioned in this book). I love all of McKinley’s books, and typically read them straight through. The books are so good I don’t want to put them down. I love her writing style, as they are very realistic. Ty and Malina are very relatable characters, and the building chemistry, on top of their past makes for a good story. They have known each other since high school, but have never given in to their feelings. However, life keeps throwing them together, and when Malina needs somewhere to lay low for a while, she decides Ty’s family Island is the perfect place. The story is a suspense filled, with a side of romance. I am sad the trilogy wrapped up, but hope McKinley continues with the characters. Can’t wait for more books!

I was pulled in right from the beginning. Damian has been hired to find the niece of a Torzial. There is something about this girl that has Damian’s attention.
Bryanna was taken and her loved ones are being threatened if she doesn’t go along with what her captors want. Will Damian be able to save her? Will he keep his dominant side at bay or will he make her submit?
Overall this was a great read. We get suspense, steamy scenes, and so much more. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. This book can be read as a standalone but I suggest reading from the beginning. The author does a great job with her writing, you feel like you are right there with the characters. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

I was so very excited for this book. Forged by Secrets is the third book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops Series from Amy McKinley, and probably my fav so far, hard reach since I have loved this series so much. These books could be read as standalones I am sure if you want to but I think these really are enjoyed best in order. This one is another breath-holder, and highly intense read with all the goodies one who loves a military romance with heat would want to find. The best part of these books is the thrill and suspense that keeps you slightly on the edge of your seat hoping for the best outcome the entire read. This brings us the story of Malina and Tyler, who you will absolutely fall for and find yourself cheering them on the whole time. Will they get through the storms and find a happily ever after?
