Dunn – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
I have read a few books from this author and she always exceeds my expectations. This is the second book for the addictive series The Chicago Vigilantes. You can read this story as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on the first page. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.
Sloane Friday is one of the selected few to be part of this vigilante group. She was a cop before this so she knows danger. Sloane is told to go undercover to get a professor’s help. He is the key to stopping this dangerous drug that is killing a lot of people in her city. Sloane was thinking that this professor was going to be old but he is drop dead gorgeous. She can’t get him out of her mind for some reason. When they are joined together sparks start to fly but they have a job to do first. Will Sloane find love that she has been waiting for or will the darkness take that away from her as well?

When you are fighting a invisible force, then you find yourself attracted to someone but has Sloane time to find out if it could be more.
Sloane has put her career behind her and she is now a part of the Guardians Angels as the vigilante, can she carry on and try and stop the evil force which is still in the city.
Luke has had his fair share of violence being within the military but when he sees Sloane and feels the attraction can he be drawn back into the world and still be able to open up to Sloane and with the chemistry sparking can they start a relationship in the middle of chaos.
I love this story, as the second installment it is full of action like the first story and with Sloane’s character it drives through the chapters and has you drawn in from the beginning. As the book goes through you wonder if they can ever be together with Sloane’s secret will she let Luke into her world. The chemistry between the two characters jump off the page and I love the way the story weaves in and out of the city which builds the suspense of the story. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Urban Justice is the fantastic 2nd book in the Chicago Vigilantes series by India Kells. I have been a fan of India Kells writing for a couple of years now and was looking forward to the 2nd instalment in this series as I had thoroughly enjoyed the first book. It was no surprise that I adored this book too as I’ve never read anything by India Kells that I did not absolutely love. India Kells has an amazing knack for writing characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. This was also the case for Sloane and Luke. Sloane is a totally badass ex cop, now vigilante and Luke is the ex marine, professor who just exudes sex appeal. A match made in heaven or hell? Let’s just say that their road to romance is far from a straight, smooth path. As with other India Kells’ books this had a storyline that grabbed me immediately and had me hooked throughout. It was full of emotion, danger, violence and suspense. I love India Kells’ style of writing and the way that the stories flow so well, taking you on an amazing journey, that as much as you want to know what happens, you just don’t want to get off and Urban Justice is a prime example of that. It really is a great story with amazing characters and I can’t wait to read more of this series to see which vigilante we get to learn more about next.

Secure Boxed Set (Chase Security #1-3) by R.L. Dunn was a great 5 star read.
Secure Desire – Book 1 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?

When Martin gets called home after his brother has been shot, he finds out that Elizabeth is the one keeping his brother alive. These two have a history that didn’t end well for them.
As the investigation continues on both the shooting and the jail injuries things intensify. Can Chase Security get the answers and solve the mystery? Will Elizabeth and Martin reconnect and have a second chance at a HEA?

Dunn – Review by Tausha Treadway
I lost sleep reading The Sound of Silence. It is an absolute home run of a novel. I deeply respect Dakota Willink’s respectful dedication to revealing the realities of domestic abuse and allowing the countless victimized women to speak their truth through her story. Willink doesn’t use abuse as a literary gimmick, but has a clear and powerful message; Anyone can become a victim, but there is also a chance for a life of security and happiness past the trauma. This is such a delicate subject, and I feel so much more informed after reading this book. I used to wonder things like, “Why would any woman allow herself to be hurt?” or “Why would a woman stay with an abuser?” There is no clear cut answer for every case, but reading this story impresses the subtleties and complexities of these kinds of relationships.
There is a trigger warning for readers in the beginning, but I want to second that warning with another. Some parts of this novel are incredibly difficult to read. Tread with caution. Also, don’t start the book before going to bed because you won’t be going to bed. The Sound of Silence is a must read for anyone who wants to take a step out of their comfort zone and into the shoes of a woman who’s torn apart by the anguish of trauma and is renewed by self-empowerment and love.

This is the second book I’ve read by Amy McKinley. I love her ability to create a story and characters instantly. This was a very small book, but still packed the emotion I’ve come to recognize from Amy. Our main female character is Nadia. She’s complicated and I don’t want to give too much away. Our main male character is Cade. He’s a sweet man who loves with his whole heart and you can’t help but adore. I do wish this was a bit of a longer story, but I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This is the 2nd book in the Chicago Vigilantes series. Salone and Luke find themselves in another exciting, deadly and capativing romance. I really like how the author is able to keep the flow of the series. The authors writing again in the story was just excellent and capativing. The reader is hooked from the very first page until the last. I cannot wait to see what the next book brings and how much it will develop.

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) By India Kells
I was so excited to get my hands on this book because of how much I liked the first one in this series. This author never disappoints. Sloan is a very strong, intelligent woman with a past that she struggles with. Luke, is a professor who has been asked to help the vigilante and his team. Sloan and Luke have off the charts chemistry and I enjoyed their characters. This story is full of action, suspense, romance, and wonderful characters. I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading because I needed to know what happened. This is a must read and I cannot wait to read the next one. I highly recommend this book.

The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless) By Dakota Willink
This book took me on an emotional roller-coaster. I found Gia to be a strong woman when faced with the reality of what her husband truly is. I am so glad that there is a good man like Derek in this story. I was on the edge of my throughout most of this story. This is a very gripping, intriguing, dark, and emotional read. This is the first book I have read by this author and I enjoyed the way she made this story come to life, so much so that I could feel the emotions jump off the pages. I look forward to reading more from this author. I highly recommend this book.

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink was an absolutely incredible read! I was enthralled from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. I almost finished it in one whole sitting, it was so good! This book could definitely be traumatic for some, and a huge trigger for people who have experienced domestic assault of all cases. But this is definitely a book worth reading. The author does such a good job of describing domestic abuse, and the thoughts and feelings behind survivors. I was very wary of being triggered myself reading this book, but I took the plunge anyway and I’m so glad I did! I think everyone should read this book at least once. This is one that will definitely resonate with you long after you read the last page. This thriller of a novel is definitely one of my new favorites now. A giant kudos Willink for this book.
Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) by India Kells is a romance story. The story is full of suspense and darkness. It is fast paced and just as enjoyable as the first book in the series. India’s writing style makes it easy to get lost in the pages. India is one of my favourite authors and I love the palpable grit she infuses within the story. It is also full of intrigue and danger as Sloane and her masked vigilante team try to keep the city safe from a new drug that keeps on spreading. There is one person however who thought he had left the dark life behind, but it is the beautiful woman that sees him once again hiding in the shadows.

Secure Boxed Set: Chase Security Series Books 1-3 by R.L. Dunn – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five stars
This box set was a great read. Dunn really knows how to draw you in and make you not want to leave. I enjoyed the characters and the plot line. Each book was different and unique. I really enjoyed Elizabeth. She has a very caring heart. She really felt for every patient. The flow of each story was very smooth and gave you the feeling of being right in the mix of it. Ian is my favorite Chase. There was just something so enticing about him. Julian’s story was very touching. He went through so much and yet stepped up when he was needed by Holly. Each character had there good and bad points. It was just hard to see the bad when the author wrote them so well. The growth and adjustments the characters made in order to love who they chose. The way they were willing to move mountains to keep them safe. The trauma buried so deep that it stands a chance at ruining that happily ever after. Definitely something you should put on your must read list.

Dunn – Review by Gail Guerrero
The Chase Security guys have quickly become one of my favorite series to read. Each story is unique and full of enough drama and suspense to keep it entertaining while also focusing on a couple and their road to each other.
Secure Desire (Chase Security #1) 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 story 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.
Secure Again (Chase Security #2) Wow…there is a lot going on in this story and it is an amazing ride. While this story may be intimidating due to the amount of pages, I found myself flipping through them so fast and I arrived at the end of the story before I knew it. I was so engrossed in the story that I completely tuned out the world around me. Martin, the CEO of Chase Security, is called home when his brother ends up in the hospital. Elizabeth is the doctor treating Martin’s brother. The two share a heartbroken past that they must face when they see each other again. This is not your typical second-chance romance, though. First, R.L. Dunn makes them work hard to move beyond the past and even have a chance at a future. Oh…and there’s the web of prisoner abuse and other crimes that they must unravel along the way.
Secure Heart (Chase Security #3) This is third story in the series and focuses on Julian. Julian has recently become the head of Chase Security’s San Diego branch. He is digging himself out of a past that has beaten him down. Upon arriving in San Diego, he finds out that Chase medical is endangering its patients and putting their lives at risk. One of those lives belongs to a little girl named Sadie. Sadie is suffering from the same condition that took Julian’s wife from him…but he is determined to save her. Her mother, Holly, has her own past demons that force her to keep her walls up. However, when Holly and Julian are together, the chemistry is definitely there. However, more danger lurks around the corner when a serial kidnapper targets women and their children. Julian, and the rest of Chase Security, are trying to find out who is behind everything while keeping everyone safe. I found myself really invested in both Holly and Julian. Their pasts had me hoping that each of them would find happiness and not be faced with heartbreak again. Holly is a strong character and not quick to let a man take care of her…and I loved that about her.
All three books in this set are amazing and definitely worth the read!

R.L.Dunn has written all three books in this series. They are well written and fast paced. I fell in love with all 3 books. This security group are people you would want to help you out. Get on the rollercoaster of emotions, not limited to love, tears and anger. These books are so much more. I love the characters, as the women are strong, and can take care of themselves. But having a strong man protect you, that’s a whole different scenario. Well Done R. L. Dunn! Well Done!
The Sound of Silence Leave Me Breathless By Dakota Willink ☆☆☆☆☆ This is a story that deserves more than 5 stars. This story touches many aspects of abuse and violence with domestic partners. A world that needs understanding, as well as education. Here you will find you are not alone.
So go ahead and read about Gianna, Derek and the other characters in this non stop page turning book. As Gianna is much stronger then she thinks. Even stronger than her husband believes her to be. Derek, well he is the chief of police and not a good one.
I applaud Dakota Willink in writing the rollercoaster romantic suspense story. I could not stop reading and listening to this book. She left no stone unturned. Her research is spectacular and her writing skills are what won my heart. While this was a hard story to read, it was something I will remember always. Also Dakota Willink has gained a new reader. You can bet I will be reading more from ber. Well done Dakota Willink! Well Done!
I always know I am in for one heck of a read when I pick up anything by Seelie Kay. She has a way of weaving stories that keep me engaged and well on the edge of my seat as I read. I was excited to see this new series, Donovan Trait, and the first book this one, was something with a bit of a twist to her other works. This has a heavy paranormal side to it with vampires and all the lore that goes with them. I loved how this wove a typical plot line but kept things interesting with interweaving the vampire storyline as well. I was constantly wondering if I had things figured out only to find out I was wrong lol, those are the best books to me personally. I loved every moment of this one and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series and to see where this new storyline will go.

What more could you want than three exciting and action filled novels in one convenient boxed set? I love boxed sets because I can enjoy series in a much more convenient way and this one was no different. I was excited to see the Secure Books come to us in a set. I will be snagging a few for some gifts this year as this is just in time for gifting season. Below you will find my individual reviews for each book in the set. This is one you don’t want to miss!
SECURE DESIRE : 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.
SECURE AGAIN: Ohhhh my, I just totally adored this book. I was completely sucked into it and couldn’t put it down until I had soon consumed it in one full sitting. Literally, I never even got up to cook supper this book consumed me that much it lead to a fantastic pizza night in our household!
Elizabeth Reed is everything you want to see in a female lead. A strong and fierce force to be reckoned with when it comes to medical integrity, she truly made this book so delicious to read. I Farmer (Martin) Bailey is the type of man that makes you weak in the knees; delicious, strong, protective, and down-right a hot Alpha lead. Elizabeth finds herself questioning the injuries that are coming in with the inmates from the local jail. As a doctor something doesn’t seem right and she is determined to get the the bottom of it. Just as that is heating up she is also faced with the fact that she is keeping the brother of the man she loves alive. These two do not have a pretty past but can they work together and find a beautiful future together? I can’t wait to see what the next book in the Chase Group stories will bring us.
SECURE HEART: This has been a fun series to follow and this book being the third, I would suggest reading the previous two before diving into this one. We really grow and get to know the Chase Security team throughout them but the characters overlap from book to book. Dunn really has a knack for writing a well developed and layered story. I love that the romance is simply a layer, not the whole read, and in doing so it becomes an enhancement not a chore to read. I was anxious to get my hands on this one and discover more of Julian, and was he as smooth and sexy as I ever expected. Holly and Sadie bring a sweet and sassy side to the story and kept me giggling at times with some of Sadies antics and points of view. I really look forward to seeing what we will get in the next installment.

Dunn – Review by Liz Vrchota
I was instantly intrigued by this book after reading this title. Once reading this book I was fascinated with the concept of a vampire lawyer and the character of Donovan hooked me from the very start! I loved Seelie Kay’s writing style made this an enjoyable book I could not put down.

To say that this novel was spectacular seems like a bit of an understatement…it was mindblowing! The Sound of Silence is the first book I’ve read by author Dakota Willink, but will certainly not be the last. Wow!
This novel contains many triggers, but it is so raw and so real. It is so well written that the emotions you feel are right there with the characters in the story. It is a mulitple point of view and that just adds more depth, in my opinion.
Gianna is trying to start over. Her marriage started off well enough but quickly morphed into something truly terrible. When she was finally able to get away she thought she was home free, but that didn’t turn out to be the case.
Derek is a native New Yorker and a successful business owner. When he is away on a business trip while trying to start his business he meets this girl that haunts him for years to come. But what if fate brings her back into his life? Will he have the opportunity to make something of it?
This story reaches into our soul and takes everything! I’m truly in awe of the story and the writing! Thank you for a truly inspiring novel Dakota Willink!

This is the first book i have read by Dakota Willink and i cannot wait for more. This dark and twisted story has you gripped from the start it tackles domestic violence and it made me very emotional at times it maybe hard for some readers to read about this there is a trigger warning. This is very well written and really grips how we don’t really know what happens in peoples lives behind closed doors. I stayed up all last night reading this. Gia is such a strong women you want to keep reading to see if she gets the courage she needs to move on and have a happy ending.
This is an emotion filled rollercoaster of a book which has you gripped from page one and doesn’t let go. There are trigger warnings for this book which are needed because of the issues covered in the story. Domestic abuse is a hard topic to cover and do justice to but this author has done a fantastic job. Its the first book I’ve read in a long time where I have actually felt the fear of the female character. Its like a horror movie where your screaming at them to leave but its easier said than done when you are actually in that situation.
Gianna thought her life would be perfect. She met the man of her dreams, he brought her dream house, treated her like a princess. However her prince wasn’t all that he seemed and their chance meeting wasn’t by chance at all.
Ethan planned everything. What Ethan wants Ethan gets. Whether that’s the cute barmaid who’s caught his eye, an obedient wife or a family he will stop at nothing to get his way. This leads him to resort to physical and mental abuse.
Add to the mix Derek a stranger she met on her wedding day. The connection between them was strong and felt right but they parted ways. He never forgot her and when they meet again he is still drawn to her. He can tell she has had a bad life but he doesn’t realise how bad. Trying to separate truth from lies he learns its worse than he ever could have imagined.
Can Derek fix Gianna and help her recover from her past. Or are the scars left by Ethan and his abuse to deeply bedded inside her?
The Sound Of Silence is an outstanding psychological romantic thriller by Dakota Willink that had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Prior to reading The Sound of Silence I had never read any of Dakota Willink’s work but if this book is anything to go by then I will definitely be reading more. This book is very dark and the author rightly gives a trigger warning for distressing scenes of abuse. So if you can get past the dark scenes then this book is a fantastic thrilling read. It had me gripped from the very first page, right up to the very end. It is the proverbial ‘page turner’. Gianna’s life probably looks wonderful to those outside; happily married to the chief of police. This could not be further from the truth. But hey, he’s a policeman, who is she going to tell her story to that will believe her. A chance meeting with a handsome stranger on her wedding day, followed by another chance meeting with the stranger a few years later could be the one thing that changes Gianna’s life. I absolutely adored the character of Derek. He is the exact opposite of everything Ethan (Gianna’s husband) ever was. He’s patient, caring, loving and gentle and the way he interacts with Gianna has my heart melting. This book, although very dark in places is a fantastic read. There’s danger, intrigue, evil and violence and then there’s love and compassion and romance. I would definitely recommend this book. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
