I stopped reading early in the piece. It wasn’t bad, it just didn’t pull me in, and I’d prefer to spend my reading time on something that grabs me and won’t let go. However, based on what I did read I’m prepared to give it 3* despite not finishing it.
Loved it!
What a book. I went from tears to happiness. It touched me greatly. Thank you for a great read.
Good story.
Oh look….free book. It’s book #3, not a big deal. Wrong answer. Now I want to read all the books in this series, especially the first two. But then am I gonna want the next two series, Bravo and Charlie teams?
Trevor and Lexi had a sweet romance with lots of sexy times, plus there was adventure and suspense. And there’s a great team to learn lots more about as they find their HEAs
Don’t be surprised if I give in and buy more books in this series.
I love this series!
I absolutely loved this book! This is the first story I’ve read by Anna and I must say I’m very impressed. It kinda checks all of my boxes.
I love the connection Trevor and Lexi have from the very beginning. The first few dates were a bust but Trevor is pretty determined. But so is a stalker. Trevor is falling hard for his angel and he will stop at nothing to protect her.
The twists in this story are so good.
This is book 3 in the RISC series and it can absolutely be read as a stand alone, however I recommend reading the first 2 in the series before this one. That way you get an introduction to the characters and understand their relationships with each other more. That being said, this one is about Trevor Matthews and Lexi Hamilton. Trevor has been dealing with something that happened in his past for years but after seeing how happy Jake is, he is finally starting to try to move on and find some happiness for himself. And he believes that happiness could come in the form of Lexi. Lexi is just trying to get her life back to the way it was before it all fell apart. She doesn’t plan on meeting anyone or maybe finding the person who could be the one for her. And neither expect for the past and present to collide and put what they have in danger.
I absolutely loved this one!! I was curious about Trevor and what had truly happened to him in the past. He is such a great character in the other books that I definitely was left with wanting to know more about him. And I absolutely loved who he is in this book! He is beyond sweet and protective, he is a man who was hurt and left with demons. But he also realizes this and is finally trying to move past them. Lexi is this woman who went through something heartbreaking but managed to stand strong and still work towards something. She may have struggles but she is one of the strongest women you will ever meet. And she shows that with what happens in this book. I loved it. It was the perfect story for them and even though something horrible happens, they still manage to work it out and communicate what they need. Now I need D’s book! And maybe a book for his brother too!!
Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down.
The book was beautifully written. Both the male and female lead had some serious baggage they were dealing with but yet were dealing with it in different ways. When the two of them came together they leaned on each other and created a whole.
My heart broke for Trevor. There were times I wanted to reach in the book and shake him and force him to stop the guilt he felt but yet I can’t say that if it was me, I would have felt any differently. He is a protective man by default who carrying the decision/choices he makes to heart. This man was amazing.
Lexi is a woman who still morns the loss of her mother. She had to give up everything to care for her and is trying to rebuild that. The parts that I loved about her was that even though she has had the huge thing happen, she is still very kind and warm. She isn’t giving up on her dream she just knows that she needs to start over and make new dreams.
The action and suspense in this book was amazing. I stayed up way too late because I had to know how it ended!!
I also liked the dynamic Trevor has with his team. However in this book, there was one standout. His name was Derek. He was sort of the comic relief and there were parts with him that had me laughing out loud. Everyone needs a friend like Derek.
This is the third instalment in the R.I.S.C Series and it does not disappoint. Trevor is a security expert who has made mistakes and he has hardened his heart against every feeling anything for a possible partner in the future. He meets Lexi in a diner and keeps coming back as he can’t get her out of his mind. Derek spurs him on to do something about it or else he will. Both Derek and Trevor step up when Lexi needs it and she is appreciative. This finally makes Trevor reach out and go for Lexi.
Their dating process is a disaster and not for reasons you would think. The story is gripping and intense, you are on the edge of your seat for the last quarter of the book. Ms. Blakely is a new author, but you would never know it, she’s holding her own with all the big names out there. Awesome read.
I received this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
OMG, OMG, OMG…heart thumping terror, psycho guys, an alpha man falling in love with a sassy, petite beauty and trying to protect her. Will he be able to keep her safe or will the past come back to haunt him. Grab this mind boggling, page turner…you’ll love it just like I did!!!!
Absolutely loved this book and couldn’t put down. True romance, the family you make, action and heat. Trevor is a strong gentleman in every sense of the word that is tormented by his past. Lexi is a spunky waitress that slips past his defenses. This can be read as a standalone. I definitely recommend this book along with the others in the series.
