The first book in the Chase security series starts off strong. Ian and Cassie are both very strong willed characters. Cassie life is falling into place when an assignment conjures up past experiences and not good ones. Cassie has been through alot in her life and there slot of backstory in this book. The storyline flows and is well developed.
Book 2 Secure Again This is the second book in the series. This is a thrilling read and action packed from the start. There are a ton of characters who play parts in this story. It’s a well written experience you feel your best pounding as you walk through with these. Martin is the leading male and going back home has changed him. I love Elizabeth she’s an inspiration character. A few twist and turns.
Book 3 Secure Heart
Another great book by Dunn as part of the Chase security series. I adore Julian and Holly’s they are such characters. Julian having previously made an appearance in a previous book I enjoyed getting to know him more in this one. Each character has thier own unique personality and characteristics . I highly recommend reading this series.

This is the second in the series and it stands up to the same standard as the first. It’s fast paced, filled with characters that make me want to know them better and is quite the page turner.
To say I loved it is an understatement. The story moves along. It is filled with action and suspense. I have all the characters in Noctem in a list. Each one has different qualifications and skills. I can’t wait to learn about them all. This one is Sloane. She is an ex cop and runs as the vigilante. She has had some difficult past and it’s nerve wracking watching her trying to change. She goes through some ups an downs in dealing with the past and self doubt.
Overall I enjoyed this one as much as I did the first. It isn’t necessary to read book 1 before reading this. It might enrich your enjoyment but not necessary.

Wow, this book was intense. It was my first Dakota Willink read and also my first Black Rose Collection novel. So I wasn’t used to reading darker titles. That being said, The Sound of Silence instantly gripped me! Characters who weren’t who you thought they would be and moments that kept you guessing and gasping. There is the non-spoiler alert of domestic violence as mentioned in the blurb, so be prepared to hate characters but since that is obviously the intention of the author, I would highly recommend this book!

The Secure Box set is made up of 3 books. All of which are very easy to read. Who doesn’t love books with strong alpha men, action, romance, and excitement. The books definitely will not bore anyone. I enjoyed reading these books and found the characters lovable. The author did a great job with the plot of all 3 books to keep the reader entertained and interested in what will happen next. I found myself looking at the clock thinking I need to go to get to sleep but let me just read one more chapter first.

Dunn – Review by Michelle Mulvey
We first meet Donovan Trait, a handsome, dashing and confident lawyer who has never lost a case and is known to many as the hottest lawyer in Chicago, he knows his legislation and he also knows his ways around a judge and jury, he is also a three hundred year old vampire. The case in question this time is the illegal seizure of goods and harassment by law enforcement of his clients, he wins again of course, but as he is heading away from the courtroom, a brief tryst with a judge afterwards and through the lunchtime rush in the streets surrounding it, he receives a text message which is out of the ordinary, but believes that it is just a friend playing one of their usual pranks, that is until he ends up in hospital after receiving a stab wound to the side and collapses in the street. He wakes up in the hospital and on an IV blood transfusion and to the dulcet tones of his secretary pretending to be his fiancee in order to access his hospital room to get his sorted and out, at least once he has spoken to the police first, luckily for him, the first one on the scene is one he knows and won’t ask too many questions about how he is already healing after receiving a wound which would kill a human.
Next we meet the mystery killer and find out that they are very disturbed by the fact that Donovan Tate isn’t dead and that there is no mention of this in the newspapers at all, she then decides to give it another try because her plan would not succeed unless he was the first one to die. After that, it would seem random as they would all be killed in different ways and by seemingly different people, she had written her list out and was determined to follow through with it and kill all the lawyers who had wronged her and her family in the past.
A couple of days later and Donovan is back in the courtroom and cross examining another witness, he again succeeds in this and after a visit to his sister, who discusses his behaviour both inside and outside the courtroom to try to glean some information about his latest conquest and why this one might be the one he settles down with, this as well as who may have it in for him within the professional boundaries. After he leaves another night of passion with his very human lady love, he gets in a taxi to go to court, but he is unnerved by the behaviour of his driver and so calls his friend in law enforcement to subtly check it out while he is being driven to work, it is just before his appearance that he decides to go to the bathroom to straighten out his suit when he is shot by a mystery woman and is again awoken by the dulcet tones of his secretary.
It is after this that he decides to stay out of the spotlight and lay low as this is being investigated and the killer is made to believe that he is at death’s door and in a private facility, this encourages her to move onto the next names on her list and as the bodies pile up and there are no more leads that things get more serious for everyone involved.
Will the dead lawyers stay dead or will the true nature of the victims come to light? Will the killer be found and caught, or will they do as they say and “Kill all the lawyers!”? This is a thriller with a dash of romance which will leave you guessing until the end and wanting to see who is committing all these dastardly deeds in Chicago, but the only way to find out who it is is to read on and find out.

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) by India Kells – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
This story had me hooked. India Kellé definitely knew what she was doing in this second book. The characters had chemistry out of this world. The first few pages you have to push through because Luke makes you want to slap him. With how much of a douche he is. Sloan was a very interesting character as she was the one out fighting for justice. Getting to the dirty truth. You always think of Batman when you think vigilante. But here we have a woman who past is anything but indulgent. Fighting for a city that will never thank her. I really liked how the author wrote Luke and Sloan coming together. The author made it all seem effortless. I would’ve like to explore those tunnels too. The thought of discovering something unknown to the world. To be apart of history in a permanent way. Definitely get this book so you can dive into the mystery.

Urban Justiceis the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series by India Kells. I am really enjoying this series, and I think it would make a great television series too. As in the first book, the premise of this story/series grabbed me right off-the-bat. The whole vigilante justice angle mixed with plenty of action, danger, the underworld, angst, drama, and a new deadly drug- really set this off for a fast-paced and intriguing ride. Ms. Kells held my attention the whole way through this engrossing story- and I am looking forward to seeing what happens with the rest of the series!

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel #2) by India Kells
5-stars
Urban Justice is another phenomenal book by India Kells. This is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series, a series that should be read in order as this book follows the first. This author never ceases to amaze me with all of the detail, which makes it so easy to picture everything playing out in my mind, keeping me highly entertained the whole way through.
I loved Sloane and Luke’s story and being able to follow along in their action-packed journey filled with so much character development. The two headstrong characters had me on my toes the whole way through constantly guessing how it would all play out, and I couldn’t be happier with how it ended.
If you’re looking for an action packed read with never a dull moment, steamy scenes and great characters look no further this is the series for you! I promise you will not be disappointed.

First We Kill All The Lawyers by Seelie Kay is the first book on the Donovan Trait series. This is quite a suspenseful story and it one that will absolutely grab your attention from page one! The author has really managed to keep this book interesting the whole way through. She throws in so many twists and turns that you are racing to get through it to find out how it will all end. I loved the main character as well. I thought he was such a well developed character it was so easy to connect with him. I wanted to read more about him even after thy r book had finished. This is a strong start to a new series and I am already excited to see what will be next!

Urban Justice by India Kells is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series. This is a fantastic follow up to the first book and was just as gripping a read! The book was intense and fast paced from start to finish. This is the type of book that you just have to read in one go because you just can’t put it down. At times it honestly felt like the pages just turned themselves. It was great to get back to these characters and their stories. They are intriguing and work so well together. It was brilliant to see their relationship developing throughout this story. India Kells has become one of those authors that I don’t question whether or not to get the book it is just a given that I will. She has an excellent writing style that really engages you as the reader. This is a fantastic series and one I would highly recommend.

So the story focuses around marital abuse and at times my heart broke when I was listening to this it was so gut-wrenching. From very early on you know exactly what it is going g to be happening in this book. I feel like the author handled it really well and respectively and sensitively too. I really like that the author tackled these topics and it was written really well.
The narrators of the audiobook did a fantastic job with this story and really brought it to life and also handled it with such care.
I always love a good a Vampire book, and Donovan Trait is great he is a 300 year old Vampire who just happens to be a Lawyer, he is confident, Hot and Charismatic. But there is someone who wants his blood, he is top of their hit list of all the Lawyers they want dead. But when they try to kill Donovan and he doesn’t die will they realise his secret? This story had me hooked from the start, its well written and there is some great characters also a bit of romance.

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) by India Kells. This author hasn’t failed me one single time since I for her. And this time was just another fine example of why she’s in my top favorite authors. Once again I found myself completely drawn in and and I couldn’t put this story down any easier than the others. This one is just as amazing as book one. The characters are complex and so easy to connect with. The storyline is engaging and unique you can’t help but read it in one sitting because trust me you’ll tell yourself to quit but you won’t be able to. Each character brings something different to the storyline and they truly make this an awesome story. You’ll be happy to get lost in these pages for a while trust me. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Each book brings us romance, action & suspense, characters that stand out and storylines that captivated you from the very beginning. The chemistry each character brings to each book brings the story to life and leaves you wanting more! I highly recommend this author and this Box Set!

The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless) by Dakota Willink. I love a story about characters who go through some of the most horrible things and learn to live again. This was my first read by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. This book isn’t for everyone it definitely has some hard issues brought up that may be difficult for some. I love books like this which may seem weird but I love when the characters aren’t shiny and new. I love tough characters that go through heck and back and can still be ok in the end. This book had me completely hooked from start to finish. The characters are complex and relatable, you can’t help but root for them. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.
This book wrecked me and the audio version took it to a whole new level. Hearing the emotion I had already felt just made everything that much more tangible. The performance was well done and did credit to the author’s work. Again I loved the book and am thankful to have found it in audible. An excellent selection!

Emotionally wrecked. It left me emotionally wrecked. Heed the synopsis and trigger warnings. All that out of the way – the author does a brilliant job weaving this story realistically and respectfully. I was consumed by this story, by these characters. I get almost to a painful degree the scars on full display in these pages. I cannot say enough by how moving this story was. Just completely overwhelming and heartbreaking and amazing.
If you enjoy an intriguing story with a great balance between romance and suspense, this box set is a must own. Dunn does a fantastic job in this series and once you start book one you will want them all. Great characters, great plot pacing. Just the right amount of suspense and romance – not too much of either but just enough to keep you completely enthralled. Highly recommend!

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink is an emotional reading. Be forewarned there is a trigger warning concerning domestic violence. The story deals with domestic violence and how we do not really know what goes on behind closed doors. What might appear to be a fantasy, fairy tale life might actually be a horror-filled life. The book focuses on the characters Gianna and Derek. I enjoyed getting a different POV because it tells so much more about the story. This book is well written and the story and characters are thought out and engaging. I did not want to put it down because the characters had so much at stake. This is an engrossing story and handles a difficult subject beautifully. There is so much to say just about the title which speaks to the actual story. I look forward to reading more from this author in the near future.
The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless) by Dakota Willink is a dark and emotional story that has you hooked on the characters. It has to be noted that this book does contain domestic violence so if this is a trigger for you then you should be aware. I was completely sucked in by this story from the start. For me it had an intensity about it that caught my attention and became the backbone of the book. I really loved the main characters and the connection they forged despite everything. This is the first book that I have read by this author but I enjoyed the writing style and pace she brought to the book. I thought everything was developed well and the story moved along at all the right times. This was a great book and one I enjoyed even more then I expected I would. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless) by Dakota Willink
4-stars
The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink was a truly emotional roller coaster ride of a read! This story is dark, intense, heart breaking, shocking and so profound. The main character, Gia, has lived through truly traumatic experiences and undergoes a whole transformation and I absolutely loved reading how her character developed. From the very first chapter I was hooked, I couldn’t wait to dive into her story, and I was not disappointed in the least. This story had me captivated from the beginning and didn’t let up until I reached the end, I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this story.
I will note that there is some sensitive content that may be triggering; however, this is forewarned. This was my first book by this author but it certainly won’t be my last. I can’t wait to dive into my next read by the talented Dakota Willink.

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink. I loved this book but let me warn you it can have triggers in it. Its about domestic violence and abuse so be aware. Its the story of Gianna (Gia) who is from the outside living the perfect life but from the inside its a living nightmare. Derek is the perfect guy and he knows Gia has been thru hell and back but actually had no idea what exactly she has been thru. He knows she’s been thru a lot but he still wants to get to know her and wants her in his life. He wants to take away all her pain and make it right. Ethan is Gia’s husband a police officer who you would think would keep her safe but in reality he is everything but safe. When Gia run’s she feels like she might be finally free but will her past catch up with her and ruin the new life she’s made? This was my first read by Dakota Willink but it will not be my last!
What a read!! From beginning to end I was completely gripped by the story – I am so glad I found this to read. The main characters were just great to read bout – Giana –what an amazing person, her pure determination and strength considering her past just amazed me – she was so determined to start over and try and forget what she endured. In Derek I just knew she had found the perfect person to try and help her with her new life – his patience was so endearing at times. I was definitely rooting for them the whole way through. There were some great twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat at times. I cannot recommend this book enough – possibly one of my favourite reads of 2020!! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.
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!
Secure Again – Book 2
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 Heart – Book 3
This is the 3rd book in the Chase Security series and it was definitely my favourite! I liked the first two but I just found myself completely gripped by the story in this one. I really liked the characters Julian and Holly and I absolutely adored Holly’s daughter Sadie! She was such a special little girl to read about. Julian’s character appeared in book 2 of the series but I really enjoyed getting to know him more in this instalment. He’s such a lovely character, really genuine and I loved the connection he had with Holly. I was definitely rooting for these two the whole way through because they both deserved to be with someone special.

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink was a great 5 star read. I was pulled right in by this story and couldn’t put it down.
Gianna was working as a bartender when she met her husband. He came to her rescue when a patron was getting a little handsy. Little did she know how her world would shift after meeting him.
We jump ahead to their wedding day, this is when she gets the first glimpse at a different side to her husband after he finds her talking to Derek, a man she had just met. We jump ahead a few more years and things have taken a serious turn that has left her world in shambles and she is living in fear. He has control of everything and my heart broke for her and what she was going through.
With a huge twist she finally finds her chance to get away and she runs. And fate steps in and puts her in the same apartment building as the man she met on her wedding night. When he sees her he can’t believe his eyes, he can see something in her eyes that concerns him. Derek has an immediate need to protect her.
Has Gianna finally gotten away? Will she be able to find a HEA with Derek?
Overall this was a great read. I will warn you that there are some very extreme scenes that could cause triggers for some. I was in tears reading some of them. The author does a great job with her writing, she pulls you right in. I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today on this great thrilling read.
First, We Kill All the Lawyers (Donovan Trait Series) By Seelie Kay 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book First, We Kill All the Lawyers (Donovan Trait Series) by Seelie Kay. It’s a story that pulled me in from the very beginning and I was hooked. I loved the character of Donovan Trait. He is charming, handsome, confident, and the target of a murderer. He is also a vampire. Donovan is a wonderful character that is well-developed and one that I loved to read about. What does the future hold for Donovan? Will the murder that has set his sights on not only Donovan but other lawyers as well be caught? This story does have romance and it also had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I also enjoyed reading about the other additional characters that are introduced. Some of them had me wondering what their motives are and others that have an agenda. This is an amazing story that will have you not wanting to put it down until the final page. It is an entertaining and exciting read. I highly recommend reading it.

I always enjoy books from this author and enjoyed the different turn Kay took with these pages. It is most definitely not a stereotypical paranormal vampire trope but I loved it. The paranormal meets romantic suspense combined with Kay’s flair with her pen – dynamite! I couldn’t put this one down – highly enjoyable and very much recommended!

First off this is my first book by this author and I have no idea where they’ve been hiding from me but will now be adding to my list to read. Second please heed the warning as this does have domestic abuse and may be a limit for some. This was a well written book and kept me on the edge with each page I turned. Gia is so strong and definitely a fighter not just a survivor. I am really not one to detail a book out but this is a great read and I highly recommend.
I was insanely excited to read this book after overlooking the synopsis. I knew from the get-go that this story had trigger subjects and wasn’t for everyone, but I underestimated just how triggering it would be. From the very beginning of this story, I was able to predict to a certain degree what was going to happen, and it terrified me but also made me want to continue. There were several points in the story where I was wiping tears, and other parts where I was yelling out loud. As described in the synopsis It is not for everyone. This story is extremely well written, and I couldn’t put it down. Gianna is a very likable and respectable character, and she’s easy to relate to in the sense that before she met her husband, she struggled the same way most people do. Minimum wage job at a bar. Lost her mom to cancer. Has many credit card debts. Has dreams that will have to wait. But after she met her husband is another story. They went from dating to married in the span of a year and red flags happened the moment they were married. The day of her wedding she meets a man and spends 30 minutes talking to him. She never even learned his name, but for several years to follow, she isn’t ever able to forget him. Nor does he forget her. Derek. He is swoon worthy. He’s athletic, smart, and ambitious. He is a gentle soul and overall pleasure to know. When Gianna finally runs from her husband, she by chance bumps into him. And from there she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered and broken life. I absolutely loved this story and recommend it to anyone who isn’t triggered by domestic violence and all its forms. 5 Stars.
