(4.5) Fast pace romantic suspense for the win! Part of a series that can be read as a stand alone with no problems. Charlotte has a strength, a warrior code inside and a crush on Mark since their childhood days. Mark is home on leave and steps into Charlottes world for a bit. I really enjoyed the look into the artist world, temperament. While checking out the security outside he spots Charlotte and bam, things take off. It is one heck of a ride with some chilling scenes put into action. Charlotte has brains and courage and with Mark they do their best to withstand and come out alive. A great read, I love the family strength, the memories they both recall and had chills with the evil from our sadistic villain. Thank you for the arc and the great read! All thoughts and opinions are my own and were unsolicited.
The Riley family is in the crosshairs again!! Mark is the target now of the mad man who went after his older brother & sister!! Caught up is a childhood family friend- Charlotte- who’a careered an artist has not prepared her for the crazy ride they’re in for!!
This book has it all; drama- awesome action- wonderful characters- some hot scenes- you’ll have to read it to find out what happens next!!
Love this series & all the characters!!!
I was given this book for my honest (& heartfelt) review- & I was thrilled!!!
This is Mark and Charlotte’s story. Mark became a Navy Seal instead of following in the family into the Army. Charlotte has known Mark all her life an has been in love with him forever but, Mark just see’s her as a friend of the family until John Eaton who has it in for the Riley family kidnapped them and they become the hunted. This book will keep your attention and you just hope Eaton and his men get what’s coming to them. This is a intense and action packed book. Can they survive the hunt and have their HEA. Another great Riley family book!

Mark loves his family, even though he rebelled and became a SEAL instead of joining the family business, the Army! He has fond memories of Charlotte, he was a regular playmate of his siblings as her parents were friends with his parents. But he kind of lost track of her in recent years.
With the Riley Hunter on full stalker mode, the last thing Mark wants to do is accidentally involve a civilian. Hut wrong time, wrong place, and Charlotte went from nervous Artist at her showing to kidnap victim! Mark may be the eponymous playboy with charm but when the bad guys threaten Charlotte? Well, full protective Alpha mode engages!
Charlotte has had a crush on Mark for as long as she can remember. He’s now a full-grown hottie! When he and his family come to her art show she thought the scariest things she’d have to do was face critics and possible buyers. Mark sure knows how to give a girl a night she won’t forget!
The bad guys have a truly odious plan to get rid of Mark and Charlotte, all whilst heaping shame on the Riley name and Mark’s dad in particular. Mark and CHarlotte learn a lot about themselves and each other on their adventure.
I’m kinda hoping we skip a Riley as such and jump to Hank’s story, but will he have a new character injected as his HEA or will his love be closer to home?
Charlotte is a shy, introverted talented artist with a backbone of steel and a long-term crush on Mark Riley. Charlotte’s family and the Rileys have been close all her life, but it’s not until Mark attends her first gallery showing that things begin to get interesting. Unfortunately, not completely in a good way. While Mark and Charlotte find themselves captured together and fighting for their lives, their feelings begin to grow, but will they live long enough to figure out if their futures lie together or separately?
This has been an exciting and intriguing series, but Mark and Charlotte’s story tops them all. There is so much edge of your seat action that you won’t be able to put the story down. Mark’s and Charlotte’s characters are captivating with a charm you’ll find hard to resist. It’s a heart stopping, intense tale that will grab your attention from the beginning and keep you enthralled throughout until the very end. I can’t wait to see what’s coming next for this amazing family.
Solid 4.5 star
Wow once the action starts there is no slowing down but I really liked how we got to know Mark and Charlotte a bit before it began as well as their history. For a quiet shy gal Charlotte sure does have a fierce and determined side, while Mark appears to be a carefree in his personal life and fully focused on his career but he cares deeply and wouldn’t blink at settling down with the right woman. We get to learn so much more about the crazy guy that is trying to hurt Marks Dad by going after Mark and his other siblings and he really goes next level when he captures Mark and Charlotte, so there are loads of nail biting moments, hope, disappear, a family united and determination to get the bad guy and find love.
