A new to me author, and upon reading her bio I discovered this is her debut novel. WOW. What a great start in writing. Even though I was able to kind of figure out who the person was terrorizing Keira, I was still surprised at the over all outcome and discovery of other information. This book will keep you turning pages and make you want to finish just to know who did it.

The romance part is well written and I LOVE Cade and Keira. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.

Intense. Oh wow. So, Mavery Ellscott is officially one of my top favorite new authors of the year. Before this book I hadn’t heard of this talented author but wow. Told from dual perspectives of Keira and Cade this book may be a slow-burn romance, but action, mystery and suspense start on page one.
Keira is a thirty-two-year-old PR rep that has had a rough couple of months mixed with a dream finally coming true. She has been invited by her bosses to become a partner with them, a dream fulfilled right. Wrong, she has worked too hard and won’t give up the chance easily even if that means keeping the lid closed on her past and now, she has a stalker. Cade is an ex-Navy SEAL that owns Shadow Defense Security, a private military contractor, with four of his fellow service brothers. From the first time they officially meet both are attracted to the other but have their own reservations. Cade notices instantly the stress when meeting Keira only made more concerning that evening when after a brief incident, she spills the truth to him. Saying the words out loud fills her with terror as she tries to keep up her appearance so that it doesn’t bother her. Her stalker is no longer content hiding behind their phone, all in one day he not only breaks into her car but her house. Cade’s seen and heard enough he’s not taking no for an answer he is going to help Keira.
Will Cade’s company be able to help Keira before it’s too late? Keira locked the door to her past but is it what’s haunting her now or is it someone else? Can Keira and Cade find a safe place in each other where the doors open up and the truth let out? The world the author creates is real, it happens every day to countless people, but unlike Keira they don’t all have an ex-Navy SEAL living next door whose next mission is to keep her safe. How the characters interact, and their internal monologues is very relatable not only in the funny or reminiscent moments but in the fearful ones where you forget how to think, and you just do. Keira and Cade could be your neighbors, friends, colleagues, seeing them not only figure out who and why she is being stalked but the comfort they bring each other keeps you rushing to finish the page just to see what will happen on the next one. I will be keeping an eye out for the next instalment in this new suspense series.

What an amazing start to the series! I loved Keira and Cade so much, and the author had my immediately invested in these characters. They are relatable and their chemistry is wonderful. I was drawn in from the very first page and couldn’t read fast enough through the twists and turns! The synopsis is artfully worded as to not give anything away, so I won’t either. I’ll be you have to guess through the entire book what is happening and who is behind it because I sure as heck couldn’t make up my mind. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series as this author has a brilliant way with words. I highly recommend picking this one up if you’re a fan of romantic suspense with a touch of danger!

I finished this book in less than 24 hours. I couldn’t put it down, I was instantly sucked into the book. The intrigue started on the first few pages and didn’t end.

The stalker was relentless with Keira, I would have been terrified and I was able to feel some of her fear. Having a hot former SEAL living next door certainly helps her feel safe to a point. Her trust would have made it a lot easier.

I love these books and I always try to figure out who is involved and I was so wrong on who I thought it might be.

I’m so ready for the next book to come out.

This action packed romantic suspense thriller was a real page turner and it had me hooked throughout. When PR rep Keira O’Ryan’s life in invaded by a dangerous stalker she turns to her new neighbour, a former SEAL for help. Cade Hartford is now a Private military contractor, who is fed up with being on office duty while he’s rehabbing, and so he jumps at the chance to help Keira. He realises that catching the faceless stalker will be difficult as he’s already eluded the Montana police. When the stalker escalates his plan, Cade finds himself trying to outwit an adversary who seems to be one step ahead of him all the time. With Keira and Cade working together they can’t ignore their growing attraction, but as their relationship develops Cade is worried about mixing business with pleasure. With Keira uncertain who she can trust and her life in danger, Cade must uncover the identity of the stalker in time to save her. I was gripped by the fast paced storyline and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. I enjoyed the slow burn romance between the main characters, both of whom were likeable and relatable. The chemistry between Keira and Cade definitely came across in the narrative, and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story. An entertaining and enjoyable read!

Love this action packed romantic suspenseful story! It is fast paced from the beginning to the very end. I could hardly put this one down. This author did a wonderful job pulling me in and making me curious to the outcome of the story. The security firm has a lot of different characters and I am sure some we didn’t get to know. The romance between the two main personalities is slow going and I liked it because that longing was always there.

Overall I am excited that I picked up this new to me author and gave this a shot. I eagerly look forward to more in this series!

Wow wow wow!! Talk about a debut….well done so well done. I could not put this book down and I was at the edge of my seat from chapter 1 until the bitter end. This gave me all the feels I love about a book….suspense, danger, intrigue, action and chemistry between two characters that are off the charts. The twists and turns that this story had…..just when I thought I had it all figured out….definite jaw dropping moments. I am already looking forward to more more more!

This is my kind of book right here!!! Give me a Navy SEAL or any other military character and a psychological maniac on the loose and weave some words together and you’ve got me hooked!!!

Keira O’Ryan is a PR rep and she loves her job. She’s works with various entertainers so when a stalker shows up after her, it’s not completely surprising. Not to mention that college ex-boyfriend who got really creepy. After receiving a series of photos on her phone, she starts to become even more alarmed.

Cade Hartford and a few of his retired military buddies run a security firm. He’s recently moved in next door to Keira and senses that something is up with her. When she comes to him confessing the pictures and the strange happenings going on, Cade knows that he has to jump in and do something to be a great neighbor.

There are many things I want to say about this book but I’m not going to say much as to not ruin anything about it. Just know that if you’re into a good psychological thriller, look no further than this book! It kept my attention all afternoon and I read it in one setting. The writing is very well done and the there are a few twists and turns that try to throw the reader off track (as well as the detectives). I did have it figured out pretty early but a few times I questioned whether I was right or not due to the the twists and turns. It wasn’t quite as I suspected though! Buckle up and enjoy this read! I’ve already downloaded the prequel to this book and I look forward to reading it and future books by this author soon!!

Bring on my stalker if it means I can have the likes of Cade to look after me 😉🔥

Keira works at Milano and Lake as a PR form that promotes college athletes and she actually quite good at what she does but someone is sending Airdrop message that are freaking her out and she realises it’s no office prank and is convinced it’s her past coming to haunt her ….

Cade picks up on the nervousness Keira is trying to hide and he’s an ex navy seal that’s trying to recover from trauma and injury but his natural instinct to protect is stronger and when the heart gets involved lines get blurred and the desire to protect intensifies. Cade also is part of Shadow Defense Securities which is made of former seals like himself #hotnessoverload#🔥❣️

Keira hears someone in her house but manages to get to Cade without being detected and their suspense and tension filled journey starts…

This was really a good start to what promises to be a brilliant series !

Kiera O’Ryan does all things well. Works hard, and can do most things independently. Having said that, Kiera finds herself running from a stalker. When she turns to the police for help, they find nothing to back up her story. Cade Hartford, served his country, and afterwards joined a Private Military contractor. When his neighbor turns to him for help, his answer is yes. Now the real story begins. Can Cade help Kiera get away from her stalker? With romance also in the turn of events can they both fight the pull? This is the beginning of the series. Being a new to me author. But after reading this story, there will be many more intriguing stories to be read. I love her characters and the twists, turns and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is a stand alone and the beginning of what looks to be a great series. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. This series is off to a great start.

Jessica calls herself a fixer. If you need property, she’s your girl. Documents delivered discreetly and prompt, she’s your girl. Her only rule is no drugs.

When a rich tyrant hires her to find his missing daughter, it hits a soft spot Jessica didn’t even think she still had. Her parents abandoned her when she was only 15 years old and she has been on her own since. Jessica starts to look into the disappearance of the missing girl, meeting dead end after dead end. Things are looking grim in more ways than one.

Was the missing woman kidnapped? Murdered? Or did she just escape the clutches of her controlled life living under daddy’s thumb. Jessica will find out what happened to this girl if it’s the last thing she does, even when danger strikes.

I loved Jessica’s character from the beginning. Used to being on her own, she shuts everyone out, including people who love her and want to help her. She is closed off and drowns herself in alcohol and one night stands. I loved watching her grow into a stronger woman than she already was. The author did a great job describing an emotionally damaged woman who put walls up all around herself to prevent further hurt.

The plot was also a selling point, there was intrigue and mystery everywhere you turned. Danger around every corner with the main character diving in head first.

Lily survived a horrific event when she turned 18. She has been piecing her life back together with the help of her fiance and her friends in the motorcycle club. However, when her attacker is released from prison, her safety is at risk once again. This brings with it lies, betrayal, deceit, and even a love triangle. The story ends on a cliffhanger…as this is the first book in a trilogy.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Let me start by saying it is important to heed the trigger warnings…they are there for a reason. This story is is dangerous and sexy….full of lies and love…hurt and anger….it’s all there. My heart broke for Lily multiple times throughout the story…but she has a fire and strength inside her that keeps her moving forward. Each of the characters drew me in…but some I loved and some I hated. And that ending?!?!?! I will definitely be waiting for the next story.

She expects the worst out of everyone. She drinks to hide from the pain. She is hard-headed and stubborn as a mule… she was me mentally 3 years ago. I really loved the adventure in this book! The traveling and detective skills she picks up looking for this missing woman spark my wanderlust and sense of adventure! Can she be honest with herself and quit punishing herself? I guess I have to find out if she follows through in 2024! I’m eating my heart out wanting to know what direction her and Angus will take and if she’ll stick to her new found dreams or if she’ll shut down and fold into the person she was before the epiphany she has at the end of the book!

Jessica Watts work dealings with some very shady people..feeling like this is her way to “deal” with life in general as her upbringing only brought her pain and feeling abandoned by her own parents and the yoyo relationship with her friend Angus, trying to sort out feelings. When Jessica’s boss gives her a new job with a man that is known to be very powerful, Jessica feels like this is just a job that she has to do….all Velasco wants is to know where his daughter went……what happens when the layers are pealed back on the hunt for a missing daughter and the dangers of being tied to a very powerful man…

This story is highly recommended and hard to put down. I really loved this story.

Tequila Midnight follows the journey of Jessica Watts, a real estate agent that deals in cross-border relations. The picturesque writing really sets the tone for the vastly dry desert that is El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Riddles with a dark past, Jessica takes on a job to locate Doraliz Velasco, the missing daughter of one of Mexico’s richest tycoons. The case takes Watts all over the world, from Harvard campus to Belize, and back to Mexico. The journey comes at quite a price, as she is captured, beaten and drugged. While Jessica is pursuing the lost girl, she is also facing her own past demons. The only comfort she can find is at the bottom of tequila bottles and in the beds of strangers. The main character is a train wreck from the start, even before being commissioned on an impossible journey. Will she find the missing girl, and herself along the way? Will she find the answers she is looking for? Will she ever soften her heart and find love? I absolutely was drawn into this book and the constant swirl of drama and excitement over and over again. I am looking forward to reading the next one!

This was a gripping story that had me turning pages so fast. The author immediately draws you into the story and the action starts from the page. The main character Jessica is a strong determined woman but she is also hurting and carrying a lot of pain around from her childhood which she hides by drinking too much Tequila and one night stands. My heart went out to her but also to her best friend Angus who tries so hard to help her save herself and stop her destructive ways. As someone who has watched a loved one drown in drink it is part of the story I can’t relate to.

Jessica is a Real Estate agent. She is used to crossing the borders and securing deals. So when she is offered a job of finding the missing daughter of a rich Mexican she thinks it will be an easy job with great payment.
As she starts to investigate she realises she knows nothing at all about this type of things and her investigating brings her to the attention of some very dangerous people. Can she find the missing girl? Will she pay for her searching with her life?
Add to this the constant battle she has already going on inside herself with demons from the past and this is because a fast paced story where Jessica doesn’t know who she can trust, and who is spinning her lies.

I loved this story and I couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. Jessica is an amazing character, I loved how strong and resilient she is, how determined she is to make things work and see things through no matter the cost. The author does an amazing job of showing the audience the internal struggle that Jessica goes through as she starts to fight and overcome her demons from her past.

I really enjoyed this novel with a gritty, determined, realistic heroine. Jessica Watts was abandoned by her parents and had to grow up fast in order to survive. She doesn’t let anyone get close and is the tough-as-nails heroine you’d think she’d be. However, when a Mexican tycoon approaches her to help him find his missing daughter, Jessica can’t walk away from the pay-out he’s offering. This mission takes Jessica on every twist and turn imaginable and leaves her for dead more than once. Definitely check out this book if you love mysteries and tough on the outside, but soft on the inside heroines.

This book had me on pins and needle during the entire reading. It’s definitely different from the previous MC books I have read. I really don’t understand why there is so much violence among a “friends /family”. I am in shock at the way it ended or rather didn’t. There is a continuation which I would love to read the whole thing. Bella kept my feelings going throughout the book, I felt Lily’s love for Venom and her love for Slash as well. She definitely keeps you on your toes throughout the book. There is a character from another MC group that I thought was brought in, however I realized that its just another character’s name not the same person. I can’t wait to see if I can review the next book.

Jessica has to be pretty strong to have survived her childhood. Now as an adult she is still fighting her past secrets. She has got to get past her bad habits and get her mind on her job. Her help will not come from her drinking and overactive bad habits. Jessica is a strong detective, you get to watch her transformation as she puts on her detective hat and gets to work. This story is filled with twists and turns. The suspense is high octane and I could not put it down. The events are believable as well as scary.So much mystery is involved and you can’t help pulling on the side of Jessica. The author has once again intrigued my interest and I look forward to seeing where this series will go.

This book is the first book in the Shadow Defense Security series, and it definitely did not disappoint. I truly cannot wait to see what comes next from this series and this author.

This book will keep you guessing to the end.

Tequila Midnight (Southwest Suspense Novels Book 1) by Kathryn Dodson – Review by Jennifer Crain

Tequila MidnightTequila Midnight by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tequila Midnight is a fantastic read for a debut novel. I read a lot of thriller/suspense, and didn’t see the ending coming (which is a plus, in my opinion). Disliked the main character, but that was part of the appeal of the plot for me.

As a bonus, it is set in Texas (& Mexico), so another state to cross off of my 50 states challenge. This book is worth reading because it is family drama and a quick pace.
