I love (reading) this series. the narrators are AMAZING, Sams. Her voice is (for lack of a better word) sexy & her ability to do the different accents is fantastic!

Complicated Creatures and Complicated Plot

See the official blurb for the basic plot. What has me enthralled with this book (and the two sequels) are the characters.

Samantha is one tough, smart, over-achieving, beautiful woman. She's ex-military and now runs a private security firm. She can plan a military op with the best of them, and her kick-ass team adores and respects her, but she's got a complicated back story that's left her emotionally scarred. She now keeps her emotional distance, which is driving her current lover crazy.

Roman is a wealthy businessman and a notorious womanizer -- until Sam moves in next door. Now, he's totally obsessed with Sam, but the relationship is complicated. There's so much about her that she won't share, and he's not sure he even knows her.

During an op that goes bad, Sam re-encounters Wesley, the man she loved in college. Their respective careers tore them apart years ago, and now he wants to rekindle that love. But the issues from their past are so, yes, complicated.

Warning: Usually, I deduct stars for cliffhanger endings, but this book is just so good that I'm making an exception. No story this complex (I refuse to type the other "c" word again) could ever be resolved in just one book.

I received a free copy of this book from the author, and this is my honest opinion.

Great Romantic Suspense

I read many books with strong female lead characters, but this takes it to new meanings. Samantha not fills the strong woman role, but she does it by being a kick-ass, overachiever in ways that are normally reserved for men..

There's a great balance of suspense and romance. This author knows how to show the reader/listener information without 'dumping ' background and telling info outright. The dialog is also excellent.

About to start Book 2!
