Black as Night is the fourth book in the Black Star Security series. It’s filled with alpha heroes and strong women who don’t need a hero, just a partner. Nox and Maeve aren’t perfect but end up being perfect for each other. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure Nox would or could commit to anyone but Maeve gives Nox a run for his money.
The enigmatic, elusive and downright kinky Nox finally gets his turn in the limelight!
He is the king of flavour of the night, never mind week! He veers towards the kinky side but always seems to have women lined up, wanting what he can give them. But how will he react when he takes the lead on a case and realises that the buttoned p, always in control Maeve is the woman that he really wants to get to know, inside and out and for more than a night?!
Maeve became CEO when her father died. Her sister is a wild child but she has disappeared ad Maeve is frantic. She also has problems with a possible takeover of the board to contend with. Add in Nox, who gets her all fired up and she is left wanting more!
Nox grows throughout the book and Maeve unbuttons a little and lets her hair down, big time. I loved the way that although Alpha to the core, Nox partners with Maeve, he doesn’t take over unless her safety is compromised. The sex scenes are out of this world hot but the scenes with just Nox and Maeve talking are just as intimate, even more so probably.
Looking for the next to arrive soon!!!
I have been looking forward to Nox’s story since book one of this fantabulous series. Sooooo worth it!!!
Nox is wonderfully damaged by his past and finds a peaceful place with the wonderfully vulnerable Maeve. Both are such well written characters it makes the story just incredible. Great mix of action, dialogue, and steam hotness.
Keep them coming, Cynthia Rayne!!!
I have been waiting for Nox’s story since we were first introduced to him as there was just something about him that draws your interest. I have to say that his story was so much more than I thought it would be Nox and Maeve burn up your kindle. We are taken on a journey with Nox and Maeve who both have different flaws that really make you feel for and root for them.Can they let themselves be their true selves or will they keep running that’s the true beauty of the gift that Ms.Rayne has for writing beautifully flawed characters that you can’t help falling for and investing in. She showed this gift in her previous series The Four Horsemen MC which I love and have re-read several times as well as The Lone Star Mafia series which I hated to see end as I was fully invested in those characters. Now we have The Black Star Security series and these characters are phenomenal!! Each book is better than the last and keeps you wanting more. If you haven’t already make sure you read this AMAZING series you won’t be disappointed and if youre new to Ms.Rayne check out her previous series that I mentioned you CAN’T go wrong with any book by Ms.Rayne. I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Nox is a truly kinky ex-sniper who doesn’t like to settle on one woman, ever. He’s well known as as being a “wham-bam-thank you-mame” kind of guy. That is until Maeve shows up needing help, from the guys of Black Star Security, finding her baby sister. Nox is willing to give her more than his assistance, he wants MUCH more from her. Once Nox catches her scent, the hunt is on and Maeve doesn’t seem to run for long. This is a hot read so make sure you have a cool towel close by. For more sexy kinky fun with Nox and Maeve, make dand sure you read the follow up “Nox”. Is it hot in here ?? ABSOLUTELY !!
“He wasn’t sure how she’d gotten under his skin. Or what to do about it. Pushing her away wasn’t an option, and neither was letting her in.”
Ok, this one is my favorite of the series so far!! Nox is one hot man! I’m going to make it my life’s mission to track down Black Star’s HQ (I don’t care if it’s not real – I’ll find it!), purposely get my self in some deep trouble, and call Nox for help!
Logan “Nox” Knoxville is never wanting for a woman. No-strings, no follow-ups, no sleep overs – that’s the way he likes it – and he doesn’t lie about it. As a trained sniper, he learned to detach himself from his targets, but in the process he’s detached himself from everyone. Until her. When she walks in to HQ, needing help in locating her missing sister, all bets are off. Sure, he’ll help her, and he’ll tie up this case in no time. But, that’s not all he wants to tie up. Now that the line between business and pleasure is blurred, will he be able to let her go once her sister is found?
Maeve Kent is on the edge of losing it all. Her sister is missing. Her business is showing signs of failure, and the board is ready to give her the axe. But, finding her sister is paramount and with no help from police, she turns to Black Star Security. Nox is arrogant, cocky and downright annoying, but she’s trusting him to the business of finding Amy. But, his blunt, and personal proposal has set her world on fire. She’s always the one in control – the one calling the shots. Now, he’s offering her the chance to let go and just – feel. Can she trust him with her body too? All too soon, it’s not just her body craving him – it’s her heart. When this case is over, will she be able to walk away from him?
This series has been just amazing! I love the southern drawl the boys have – so sexy. The women are strong-willed and give the men a run for their money. Even the alphas need to be put in their place now and again, right? There are still a couple of main players that yet to have their story – Storm, the ex-CIA operative, and Mack, a former FBI hostage negotiator. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for them!!
A beautiful blending of fragility and the masterful…
Every privilege, every advantage, money to spare doesn’t count for a blessed thing when your sister has gone missing… and there seems to be no clues or help available. This is what Maeve is facing. it’s not until the Black Star team and Nox in particular set about to uncover more than what the eye can see.
Both characters have their strengths and weaknesses, quirky and tender, shades of light and dark that together create a perfect melding between two souls.
While this story in the Black Star Security series has serious tones… there is a whole load of in your face sexy, honesty and upfront attitude that makes you laugh. We have meet Nox in previous books (you need to read them!!)… oh YES… HE DELIVERS!! No beating around the bush for that man… tells it like it is. You’re either on board or left way behind on his ride. While there are those light moments… there is the always present, serious under tones of a nefarious plot out to decimate Maeve and all she holds dear.
Good character development in a continuing series. It doesn’t matter what you have, or what you own, how much money you make… emotions are ever there. Hurt, sadness, despair, strength, grittiness, resolve, and it helps having someone on your side, to keep you grounded… even when they question why!
Drama, intrigue, and suspense run high are this investigation unfolds.
Cynthia weaves another beautiful story with BLACK AS NIGHT. Again… she teases you with little hints of stories to come. This series is highly recommended for those that love that military/security environment, blending emotions, romance and danger all into one. Always wonderful to see past characters but this time slightly different in a good way.
If you haven’t already started this series… I’m not sure what you’re waiting for. While each story could be read as a stand alone book… a better reading experience and understanding will be had if you go back to the beginning. You will want to immerse yourself in Black Star Security.
Finally, we get some background on Nox. He is the bad boy, wild child of the crew and it was nice to learn more about him. I enjoyed the journey the author took us on with him to find his happy ending. He and Maeve made a fascinating couple and it was fun to watch them sort through the feelings and emotions they had for each other. I liked that their relationship was not just about sex, as all of Nox’s other encounters, but sharing and understanding and in the long run a bond that runs deeper than either could have ever imagined.
This story is packed with tons of suspense and action and will hold your interest and keep you guessing until the end. And if you are more a fan of romance there is plenty of sexy time to keep you entertained, as well. The plot is intricately woven into an intriguing storyline with a real feel. There is also a lot going on in this story. Aside from Nox and Maeve’s romantic entanglement, her sister is missing and she is fighting to keep her job and her company. There are enemies known and hidden with a shocking twist that will have you desperate for more. This was a fun addition to the series and I look forward to the next.
*I received a copy of this book from the author with no obligation to review. The thoughts and opinions expressed are strictly my own.
Nox… Well, his story definitely did not disappoint! This is an action-packed, suspenseful and steamy romance that sees Nox finally meet his match. I love the sassy, smart and courageous woman the author created for Nox to be brought to his knees by… Well, no spoilers! Read it for yourself!
Cynthia Rayne does not disappoint with this book. I had been waiting for Nox’s story and this exceeded my expectations! It definitely had swagger, sexiness and so much more!
Character development is one of the author’s strong points. Cynthia Rayne gave such incredible depth to Nox and Maeve that they both felt real. As always, she also continued character development for secondary characters and has me hooked waiting for more. The world building is solid and the author paints vivid pictures even during cringe-worthy moments.
The storyline was perfectly intense with excellent suspense. Cynthia Rayne manages to skillfully weave interplay between characters with a gripping plot that kept me thoroughly engrossed. With the twists thrown in, it couldn’t have been better.
5 stars for an intense, sexy, and thrilling read! Highly recommend!
What a fun, hot, suspenseful, kinky book!!
I really liked Nox in this book. He is the kinky sniper of the Black Star Security team. Everyone know that Nox likes it loud and crazy in the bedroom but he isn’t one to do feelings and relationship. I loved reading about the growing up that Nox does in this book. These pesky feelings like protecting and comforting and jealousy is new to him and it was fun to watch him go through this.
Maeve was an amazing female character to read. She is this strong take charge kind of person but yet when she lets her guard down and trust the other person, she doesn’t need to be in charge all the time and can be vulnerable.
I really like this series and this books was an amazing addition to it.
Logan Knoxville is ex-Army Ranger who now works for Black Star Security. Nox has vowed to never fall in love and is not sure he even knows or understands what that is. He does know he loves “sleeping” with women and lots of them.
Maeve Kent is a high-powered CEO of her family’s business. She is trying to live up to her father’s legacy and along the way she has forgotten her connection with her sister, Amy. When Amy goes missing, Maeve hires Black Star Security to find Amy. Logan is assigned to the case and things explode between the two of them in ways they never imagined possible.
This story is another great addition to this series. It is a bit darker than the others, with a very nail-biting plot with some really bad guys doing bad things. I loved watching the changes in Nox, as he really didn’t know what hit him. He and Maeve were a perfect match who made life better for one another. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
I really enjoyed reading this book!
