My rating: 5 of 5 stars

STEAMY, STEAMY, STEAMY!

Dirty Tactics: Special Weapons and Tactics, by Peyton Banks is the first book in the series and I listened to it as a an audio book and it was so interesting and captivating and I just couldn’t stop listening. The story is told from the perspective of both of the of the main characters, Marcas MacArthur and Sarena.

The nurse, Sarena, moves into a neighborhood with a sexy S.W.A.T. officer neighbor Marcus who she just can’t keep her eyes off of. Men in uniform are her thing and she doesn’t know if she will be able to resist and then Marcus makes his move.

Marcus doesn’t date. It’s not something you do in his line of work, but something is different about his beautiful neighbor. How far will Marcus go to protect the woman who he wasn’t supposed to fall for in the first place. Only reading this engaging, intense, and steamy novel will get you the answers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not normally my kind of book, but I liked it. The author’s portrayal of Mac was so sexy though. I love a confident alpha male! I loved the way Serenas mind worked. I loved how she considered inviting herself to the barbecue in the beginning. The suspense was great and I like the feeling of trying to figure out why so much was happening to her as it kept me turning the pages. It’s a great short read that I definitely recommend.

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Kayla Octaviano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Listen to this book! I was hooked from the beginning! S.W.A.T. Sergeant Marcus MacArthur is as hot as it gets. You love a man in uniform? LISTEN TO THIS BOOK! He’s a badass, and he knows it too. So, of course, he draws the attention of his new neighbor Sarena, a nurse in the emergency room at the hospital. They both work funky hours, they both work adrenaline filled jobs, I’ve never seen a couple more made for each other. But there are downfalls to these careers they’ve picked, and this book shows those very clearly. Can they make it through these dilemmas? Or will they die trying? If you like well written books narrated by people who bring the characters to life, listen to this book. If you like steamy romance scenes that you’ll want to listen to again, listen to this book. If you like twists and action, listen to this book. Basically, listen to this book. It’s amazing and worth the time.

I loved this audio listen!!

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Piper Foster

l liked this story however I found it a very slow place. The voice over in this audio unfortunately didn’t do it for me I could not hear there passion. Sarena is a strong, independent unqunie lady. Its quick and witty but I feel thier could of been more substance to this book hopefully this is increased in the next book.

 

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Mrs R

This book has every thing you should want in a fast paced military/police romance, hot police officers, alpha male tendencies, curvy strong women and a situation that forces them to face a future they didn’t envisage. However it just didn’t quite pan out for me.

Marcus is SWAT officer, convinced his lifestyle isn’t suitable for relationships. Sarena is a strong willed ER nurse who would love to find the right man a settle down. The two are neighbours who have been keeping an eye on each other, but neither makes a move, until Marcus walks up to Sarena and tells her he’s going to sleep with her and she says OK. There is no build up or flirting, it’s literally the first conversation they have.

I just didn’t feel any building up of a relationship with these two characters, they went from instant sexual attraction, to ‘willing to die for the other’ in a matter of a couple of dates.

The book almost felt like it was in two parts. The first being an erotic romance, the second an action romance and I would have loved to have seen more of a merge.

I enjoyed the action element to the story and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into it, but the romance (or lack of romance), just fell flat to me.

The duel narration was good and really helped to move between the duel POV. I’d gladly listen to either again.

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Carly Vogler

Dirty Tactics by Peyton Banks is an action packed and steamy romance. The story literally drops you in the middle of the action from the start. We first meet Marcas in a SWAT raid.

The girl next door uses every opportunity to take a peak at her hot neighbor and wants to get closer to him. Sarena gets her chance when he walks into the Emergency Room where she works.

She stands her ground and puts him in his place, which he isn’t used to. Unfortunately, her connection to him puts a target on her back. How far is Marcas willing to go to save Sarena? Will it be enough, or will he lose everything he has worked for?

Overall, I really enjoyed this audio book. The narration was good, it was easy to listen to and I liked the story. I always thought I would find it harder to connect with characters in an audio book but I definitely didn’t in this one. I liked Marcus and Sarena, he was definitely an alpha male – I loved that about him and I really liked Sarena too, I don’t always like the sweet and innocent female lead but I couldn’t help but think she was nice and definitely perfect for Marcus (in my opinion) – she did have a little bit of sass about her though!

Peyton Banks is a new to me author and I am definitely looking forward to listening/reading more of her stories!

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Marcus MacArthur is a SWAT member, former Navy SEAL, and all around tough guy. He is constantly putting his life in danger so he doesn’t do relationships. What woman in their right mind would want to constantly worry about whether or not he would be coming home that night? It isn’t until his feisty neighbor, Serena Rucker, moves in and catches his attention that he is contemplating having a serious relationship. One night with her should have been enough, but now that he’s had her he can’t seem to think of anything else. With his profession there are bound to be people that want to see him either badly hurt or dead. When he learns that she has a target on her back due to their connection he would do everything in his power to keep her safe.

Serena Rucker is an emergency room nurse that has had her eye on Marcus for a while. She knows what she’s getting into by starting any kind of relationship with him, but she worries anyway. Will she be able to make Marcus see things her way? Being associated with a man like Marcus isn’t going to be easy especially when they are willing to hurt those he cares for. When trouble comes knocking Serena is caught in the middle and used as leverage against Marcus. Will Marcus be able to save her from a horrible situation or will he be too late?

This is the first book I have read or even listened to by this author. It’s definitely not something to listen to in a room full of people, haha. The two leads are both headstrong and aren’t afraid to go for what they want.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I looked over to my new neighbour my heart picked up, he is so alpha male it just oozes from him. When Mac first saw his new neighbour running he can’t get her out of his mind but his job is dangerous and does he really want to put Serena is danger.

Mac is an elite SWAT commander and his alpha male sexiness is always in the for front but Mac is always wary regarding his love life as he is always a target and would not want to put anyone else in that world.

Serena has seen her hot neighbour and fantasise about having just on night with him but when an encounter where she worked rouses more that anger within Serena she then tries to get closer to this sexy man.

This story explodes from the first words spoken, the story is brilliant and although I did feel at times that the character of Serena was out of character with some of the interactions with Mac I still enjoyed the overall chemistry between these two characters.

I did enjoy the narrators who I felt gave these characters a great voice and personality, I will definitely be listening to more stories in this series.

I enjoyed listening to this military romance audiobook. This was a great book to listen to. The narrator made it fun and entertaining. They made the characters come to life with every word. They are connectable and truly made the story for me. What will happen when one night changes everything for Marcas and Sarena? When a target is placed on Sarena, will Marcas be able to save her before it’s too late? I enjoyed their growth and chemistry. This is a great audio and I highly recommend it.

This quick listen will leave you glued to your headset. This is a new author to me so first let me say that I can wait to pick up more of her books. Secondly – can we talk about perfect casting for the narrators? Hands down a fantastic listen and one I absolutely recommend.

This was my first book by this author and I thought it was great! It is the first book in the Special Weapons & Tactics series. This was Mac and Sarenas’s story and they were awesome main characters that pulled me into this fun & steamy romance. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and listening to more by these awesome narrators.
Happy Listening!

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Kerry Baker

Dirty Tactics by Peyton Banks is the first book in the Special Weapons and Tactics series. It is a relatively quick book to listen to and one that is easy to get lost in. The story started strong and drew my attention pretty quickly. I thought Sarena was an entertaining character and I liked her feistiness that came across strong. I also really liked Marcus. The two of them worked well together and seemed well suited.

My only issue is that the story didn’t continue quite as strong as it started. It felt like it was all a little rushed – the events all happening within the space of a couple of weeks – which meant some of the detail had been skipped. I think it would have been better served to draw the story out a bit more, flesh it out and have it last a bit longer. That being said I did enjoy the story and I wanted to know what was going to happen.

Peyton Banks is still a pretty new author to me but I have enjoyed everything I had read so far. I am looking forward to my next audio book by her.

Five Stars

 

Dirty Tactics is the first book in the Special Weapons & Tactic series by Peyton Banks. This is the first book I have listed to by Ms. Banks, but definitely won’t be the last. I enjoyed this book from the very start. Marcus and Sarena have off the charts chemistry and the intimate scenes are Hot, Hot, Hot, 

This book packs a bunch of action in its five plus hours. I can’t wait to listen to the next book in this series.

Wen Ross does a wonderful job narrating, as usual, bringing the characters to life. This is the first book I have listened to Trei Taylor narrate, but won’t be the last. She did a wonderful job.

This is a full length novel. In this first book of the Special Weapons and Tactics. This has some scenes not intended for those under 18. But the rest of you go right in.

 

Marcus MacArthur is a Navy Seal after his departure, and becoming a member of an elite SWAT team. His focus was to stay away from relationships as they were a distraction. Watch out for Sarena Rucker. Who is an emergency nurse at the local hospital, and the New Neighbor to Marcus. Can these two people build a friendship, or a romance? Will Marcus be able to focus enough to save Sarena?

 

Peyton Banks has written this suspenseful romantic story. It was a fast read and captured my heart at the very beginning. I absolutely love Marcus and Sarena. Their interaction with each other as well as their struggles made this story interesting as well as entertaining. They tried so hard to stay out of each other’s lives. I found myself wanting more from this author. Well Done Peyton Banks! Well Done!

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics, #1)Dirty Tactics by Peyton Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to this on audible – I enjoyed it, but the romance wasn’t giving enough for me. The action was a lot more prominent than the romance! The writing style was intriguing enough to where I’m looking forward to further installations. The line between love and lust I feel was crossed a couple times – but it was well written. The SWAT Officer Mac – incredibly hot (in my head) and written to be the strong hero. And as a beautifully portrayed innocent Serena as a counter part. Watching Mac protect her, and try to figure out if the Demon Lords were actually after Serena or if they were looking for Macs soft spot. Ending up in a scary and intense situation (which I don’t want to spoil for you) Either way, Mac lived up his SWAT Hero title. It made it very interesting and I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. The suspenseful ending was phenomenal.

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK – Review by Heidi Schoolman

This is the first book in the Special Weapons & Tactics series.  This is a Military Romance audio novel and is just over 4 hours.  This story follows Marcas, a SWAT Sergeant, and Sarena, an ER nurse.  Sarena just moved in next to door to Marcas and he cannot help but notice her.  But his life has no room for relationships.  Sarena has a thing for men in uniform and Marcas fits that bill to a T.  Marcas cannot follow his own rules and ends up going over to her house with plans for her.  The chemistry between these two is on fire.  Unfortunately, there are some people that would like to exact revenge on the Sergeant and what better way to do that than to go after Sarena.

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) by Peyton Banks
Genre – romantic suspense, action and adventure, interracial romance
Listening Length – 4 hours and 17 minutes
Narrated by: Wen Ross, Trei Taylor
Cover design by – Megan Parker-Squires
Marcas MacArthur was as tough as they come. The former Navy Seal had dedicated his life to lead the elite Columbia SWAT team and had no time for relationships. He had two reasons. Putting his life on the line daily would be too much to ask any woman to deal with, and she would be a distraction. But when the new neighbor next door moved in, she captured his attention.
Sarena Rucker was an emergency room nurse who had a thing for men in uniforms. The single sergeant who lived next door made her knees weak. Decked out in his tactical gear, he was the perfect package—sexy, rugged, intense—and he loved to be in charge.
One night together and their lives changed forever. Sarena had got under his skin, and Marcas couldn’t get enough of her. Everything was perfect until Marcas learned of the target on Sarena’s back because of her connection to him. He would do anything to protect her.
Will he be able to save her in time, or will he lose the one who gave him hope for the future?
