“Baited Truth is the perfect mix of action, suspense, romance and heat. It’s an edge-of-the-seat puzzle that keeps you guessing until the last piece is in place. A must read for lovers of suspense and laugh-out-loud humor!” – USA Today Best Selling Author Naima SimoneBrookeNothing about my life has been easy, but that hasn’t stopped me from living it. So when someone sets out to steal that life … to steal that life from me, they better come heavily armed and with an army close behind, because nothing short of nuclear warfare is going to stop me from protecting what’s mine.
When my mom gets taken, I set out to find her and missing pieces of a puzzle I didn’t even know existed start to fall into place.
I might end up paying the price for someone else’s sins, but there’s no turning back now. I’m far too invested in this now – in finding my mom, in untangling the web of lies surrounding me, and more than anything else, I’m far too invested in the sexy, secretive and seriously annoying man helping me.
Grant
As an ex-SEAL that’s seen and endured horrors the majority of civilians think only exist in Hollywood, I really thought there wasn’t much that could surprise me anymore.
Then Jack, my boss and closest thing I have to a dad, goes missing.
He goes missing on the same day a pint-sized little spitfire that makes waterboarding sound relaxing compared to her relentless persistence shows up. She shows up someplace she doesn’t belong and claims to be looking for her mom, who was abducted the same day Jack went missing.
Her arrival starts looking less and less like a coincidence and more like karma looking to punish me for decades of sins I didn’t even know I’d committed.
She fights me at every turn. Challenges me in the worst ways. And turns me on like no woman has before.
Not that I have any plans of hooking up with the nuisance who lives to make my life difficult. I’d have to be a giant dumbass to get into bed with her before knowing if she’s friend or foe.
Apparently I’m a giant dumbass.

Excellent read. You won’t be disappointed. I recommend.
I loved this story! This book hooked me from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. I loved Brooke, she’s sassy, tough and can definitely fend for herself. This was a fast moving story filled with action, humor, romance, and suspense. A definite must read!
Suspense, action, intense,
…steam, romance, chemistry.
Hold on, this book is fast paced, keeps on your toes..
..along with steamy romance…
for me – perhaps the book was a good read but it didnt catch my attention at the begining. maybe i just need to read it again.
Great read! Although I feel very strong about not using My God’s name in vain!! Absolutely ruins the book¡!!!!!!!
Between the blurb and the cover, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to read this book.
We meet Brooke who had not had an easy life. Not hard, just not easy. She was raised by a single mother, with an ex-cop neighbour being a father-figure. While he wasn’t the warm, cuddly type, he did teach her how to defend herself and shoot a gun. Even though she didn’t use the skills he taught her, he was glad to know she could look after herself should the need arise. The training made her a badass you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of. When her life went sideways her mother reminded her to go to the address the ex-cop had given her years before. So she did. That’s how she met Grant. Since she broke into his boss’ house, Grant assumed she was the enemy. So he treated her pretty badly. Grant was so hot that Brooke had a hard time keeping her distance. He was ex-military and part of a team who solved crimes the government couldn’t.
I liked Brooke’s skills and sass but there were times she went too far, making her sound more like a kid than an adult. I liked that Grant’s training made him capable of handling just about any situation but I didn’t like how closed off he was in the beginning. This story is full of suspense with someone trying to kill Brooke. And is steamy, too.
I struggled with rating this book. The first half was 3 stars but the second half was 4 stars. Then the ending left me with questions. So I’m giving it 3 stars.
