Murder, mayhem, doubts, heartache with lots of action packed moments where no one is sure they’ll make it out alive, will the explosive chemistry between Summer and Wiseman last or will they walk away from each other. Loved it
Amy Gamet is a true story teller! She creates characters that make you cheer for them to get everything they want, and breaks your heart when life isn’t perfect. Wiseman and Summer were drawn together under unique circumstances, then ripped apart by the worst thing imaginable. Wanting them together was easy, but nothing is ever easy when hearts are involved.
Amy will keep you on your toes with her suspense, then make them curl with the heat. And boy does she bring the heat in this book!
PROTECTING HIS WITNESS is a Novella that is action-packed from beginning to end. Summer Daniels is a rocket scientist who works with her father at his company Daniels Aerospace. An ex-employee has set a bomb off and sabotaged their place of business. Also seems set on killing her father & Summer. Father & daughter have decided to hire the Hero Force. Made up of retired Navy Seals. They need protection and the return of their stolen property.
Retired Navy Seal Luke Arroyo was assigned to guard Summer. He was no stranger to her. He had been a friend to her dead Navy Seal brother. Also they had been modern day pen-pals, until her brother Edward’s death, and all communication stopped from Luke’s side. Now she needed him to help find Steven Galbraith or what ever name he was using. To get the brancium back, while keeping her safe. Also, she found out Luke had a retired military dog named Zeke. He was her brother’s dog before he was killed. Summer fell in love with the dog, maybe more than her love for Luke. They were each very broken people, each a piece of a whole, and only together could they truly be complete again. Of course, this wouldn’t be easily accomplished. The story was easy to read and I look forward to reading more of the series. Fast-paced!
I am new to this author but the book looked good so I got it. The story is good and I liked the characters. There was some editing issues but I can over look most of those. I would encourage you to give this one a chance I do believe you might like it. I look forward to checking out more book by this author.
What do you get when you have company sabotage and espionage mixed with hostages and murder, throw in a little passion and heat? One action-packed story.
This story is fast-paced, i thought it was good.
Will the daughter pay for the sins of the father?
Will the Hero be able to see the truth and overcome the heartbreak of the past?
Will the truth tear them apart or will their new love for each other burn away the secrets that hold him prisoner?
I really enjoyed finding out.
This book opens with a literal BOOM! A bomb has gone off in the testing area of Daniels Aerospace. Summer Daniels had been up in the office watching when an alarm went off, she was racing down the stairs when she collides with a former employee Steven Galbraith, just before the blast. In the aftermath she is almost run down by a van driven by that man. She’s a witness, she knows what he’s done. Now with the death of their chief engineer and the discovery the rare element needed for the testing is gone the demise of her father’s company was an almost certainty.
Fearing for her safety she recalls the article her father pointed out to her. A security company HERO Force run by former Navy SEALs is now operating in NY. Her brother Edward was a SEAL, one who didn’t survive. Perhaps they could provide both her father and herself with the protection they need and also help them find the stolen element.
Luke ‘Wiseman’ Arroyo was in the process of quitting his job with HERO Force. His boss Mac was trying to talk him out of leaving when he’s interrupted by the intercomm announcing a Summer Daniels to see him. Luke immediately recognized the name, Edward ‘Buckeye’ Daniels’ sister, his pen-pal for a while. No way was he leaving now, he had to know what brought her to them.
Even with all the things that need to be solved, there is no denying the chemistry between these two. However Luke is going to have to come to terms with a lot of emotional baggage.
Summer is more than determined to break through Luke’s walls not knowing what will be revealed.
I loved this book so much, the dog, Zeke, the memories and the simmer to sizzle romance is perfect.
3.5 stars
Summer is a scientist and works for her father’s company. One night she’s getting ready to head home, when an explosion occurs. She sees a former employee running away he tries to kill her. Luke is a former SEAL and works for HERO Force. He served with Summer’s brother, who was killed in an explosion in Afghanistan. Summer goes to HERO Force to help her find the person responsible for blowing up their building and protecting her. Luke is keeping secrets from Summer but when he reveals them, will he lose her?
Pretty good story but the ending was like it was rushed and the author was just trying to end it. Action and steamy sex.
Great storyline with lots of action and a cast of characters that draw you into the story.
Fairly good background development for the primary people but also for the secondary.
The twists and turns leave you wanting more. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out. Boom something else happens. I can’t wait to read the next instalment.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
With her life’s work blowing up in front of her, Summer Daniels has more than a destroyed laboratory to worry about. The realisation that the plant was sabotaged and that her life is under threat, makes her turn to the HERO Force to help her find the missing element required to replicate her work and the man responsible for the attack. Coming face to face with the SEAL she knows as Wiseman, Summer chooses him as her bodyguard, given that he was not only her brother’s best friend but that she had corresponded with him for years whilst doing her studies. Luke would rather not have to face Summer given his past, but he is also unwilling to allow anyone else to keep her safe. As the race speeds up to finding the missing brancium and to stop the actions of a madman, the attraction between Summer and Luke escalates, but first Luke has to get over the hurdle of telling Summer the truth about her brother and the resulting fall-out. This military-style novel is well written, fast-paced and exciting. Although romantic, it is also has a dramatic plot that kept me reading almost as fast as I could turn the pages. This novel is part of a series, and whilst the way is opened to the next book, it is nevertheless a standalone and comes to good conclusion. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Amy has put plenty action and suspense into her books and protecting his witness is no different. This is the first of her New York series all of which is broken in some way. Strong men and even stronger women who fall in love with them. Grab your copy and meet Luke(Wiseman) and summer.
Lots of action with great characters! Luke and Summer were both great characters with great chemistry. I love that the seals in this story all had problems that they were dealing with. Secondary characters were also likeable and I especially liked Zeke who was a retired canine was also involved in this story. Enjoyed plot and the little twist that kept appearing. Can’t wait for the next book! I am voluntarily reviewing an arc I received.
Protecting His Witness by Amy Gamet
A Hero Force Novel: Shattered SEALS #2
Interesting premise to have SEALs that have left the military “shattered” work together with purpose in a new group giving them purpose and a focus for the future. One such SEAL is Luke Arroyo or Wiseman. They are called in to assist Summer Daniels after a bomb goes off, her alloy is destroyed, a vital compound is stolen and her life is threatened.
In the past Luke and Summer corresponded while he was in Afghanistan – pen pals that enjoyed the letters they received from one another. When Summer realizes Luke is Wiseman – the man she once wrote to and grew to care about – she requests him to be her bodyguard. Luke is equally interested in Summer but has a secret that he is sure will put her off if he shares it.
This story has theft, bombings, kidnappings, injuries, death and more as the team work together to find the bad guy and keep Summer safe. I did have a bit of trouble, as a nurse, seeing Luke doing some of the things he did so soon after the injury he sustained but perhaps he has Terminator healing abilities that were not mentioned in the book? I look forward to reading more in this series as the heroes are somewhat broken but still very swoon worthy 😉
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
3-4 Stars
This story begins the spinoff series appropriately titled, Shattered SEALs. If you have read the HERO Force stories, you know their main office is in Atlanta. This new branch is in NYC. This group of former Navy SEALS are rightly called, shattered SEALS. Each one of them, from Mac their leader on down, has suffered physical and/or emotional injuries. They have now been given a chance to do what they love, even though they are not “perfect”.
Luke/Wiseman Arroyo is one of these men. But due to his guilt and his injury he was ready to quit when he is called to protect a witness. Summer Daniels. is not only someone he corresponded through emails during his time in the Middle East, but also the sister of his deceased friend, Edward. A man whose death he feels responsible for.
The interaction between these two and the twists and turns of the plot will keep you entertained. Though at times , the rollercoaster ride felt more like an abrupt stop and go. Still it was engaging.
I tend to be a picky reader and I found distracting some of the inconsistencies and/or lack of explanation. Without giving away the plot, in one instance , four men are injured, but only 3 are mentioned to have been transported by ambulance. Later the one not mentioned shows up, so we know he’s fine, and one of the ones with a leg injury, Moto, is walking fine 12 days later with no comment about his injuries. I also felt that the author could have given us a little background on the new HEROs men so we would be looking forward to other stories.
Still , it was a good story and a series I will continue reading. For all if the above, it was more a 3 star, but I respect the author’s talent, so I’ll give it a 4 star.
This was and advance copy. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
