Olivia Brannan never expected an ordinary workday to turn into a nightmare. She thought nothing could make her happier than having Dain as her husband. Her hard-core, intense alpha male. Protective to the extreme. Commanding—in and out of the bedroom. Her soul mate. They have everything they ever wanted. Or, almost everything. Until today. Today, she found out she’s pregnant. And unknowingly … unknowingly walked into a roomful of killers.
Ten years. That’s how long Dain has lived his dream life. His wife is the partner he always wanted, in every way. And if they can’t have children of their own, well, the elite team he runs at Atlanta’s top security firm is often handful enough. They’ve created a “family” that fits them and fills their lives.
One phone call changes all that.
He never thought his wife could get pregnant. He never thought she’d be held hostage. Now it’s up to him and his team to get the love of his life—and the child they never thought they’d have—out alive.

Edge-of-your-seat fast-paced romantic suspense!
Wow! What a terrific story! Dain and Livie are a happily married couple, and this story charts one harrowing day for them. Dreams come true, then the nightmare begins, then it’s up to Dain and his security team to ride to the rescue!
Heart-stopping action combined with the sweetest affection between these two makes for a thrilling read. All that action also lets us get to know the other team members, and how they operate almost like a family unit. Beautifully written, this isn’t a long book but it’s one that will stay with you for quite a long time. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Olivia & Dain were wonderful. It isn’t very often you get to read a book where a couple is already established without a divorce looming or one of them inevitably dying so that was refreshing.
Olivia Brannan arrives a little late to work because of an appointment and the minute she hits the office she knows something is off. With her husband training to be ready for any situation she is on high alert, but it isn’t until she spots blood that she knows something is terribly wrong. Olivia’s only thought is getting to safety, calling her husband and the police. After all, keeping herself safe is top priority but where can she hide where no one will find her?
Dain Brannan is a client security specialist and the best in the business alongside his team. He is calm in even the worst situations but when his wife Olivia is taken hostage every situation he has been in never prepared him for this. Can Dain get around the police and get his wife to safety before someone is killed?
Stella Hunter & Evan Parker did a wonderful job at narration. As I have stated many times before Stella is one of my favorite female narrators, but this was my first narration with Evan and he did not disappoint. His voice was everything gravely and delicious while holding that alpha authority I love so much.
Come For Me was a short listen but 100% worth it because while this might have been quick & short this felt more like the introduction to a new series. I am really looking forward to the continuation of this series and the rest of the crew from JCL Security.
This is one of those stories that draws you in with the love that Dain and Olivia share and the family feel between Dain and his coworkers.
When Olivia goes to work and things go wrong, Dain and his team are the ones to the rescue. His team can get the hostages out but Dain wants his wife out now.
As the team works to defuse the situation, Dain’s main concern is his wife and her concern is to stay alive to tell him the secret she is keeping.
I love this story and want more, this author has a way of making this team works well together and they are family. I listened to the audiobook and the narrators were good too.
I loved it! This novella sets in the Southern Nights World is amazingly well written, suspenseful, and entertaining, filled with danger, action, and twists and turns. Olivia and Dain are perfect together, and they complement each other. Olivia is smart, strong, and capable. Dain is handsome, alpha, protective, and caring. Their story is captivating. Stella Hunter and Evan Parker did a fantastic job with the narration. This is definitely a great team author/narrators. This is another GEM written by Ella Sheridan, and I HIGHLY recommend it. I need more!! Looking forward to listening to Deceive Me, the next book in the Series. This story is the first book in the Southern Nights: Enigma, a spin-off Series to the Southern Nights Series. We really need the original Southern Nights Series in audiobook!
Come for Me
Southern Nights Enigma Series, Book 1
By: Ella Sheridan
Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Evan Parker
Romantic suspense is my favorite and this nugget pushes all my buttons! Hot, alpha male. Strong, capable woman. Thrilling story line. Ella Sheridan has given me the best novella I have listened to in a long time! Dain and Livie have been married for 10 years. Their love is strong and even now, they can’t get enough of each other. When Olivia is taken hostage at her office, Dain does what he has to. Using his unique set of skills, this security specialist kicks into action. But will he get to her before the danger closes in? I could not stop listening. The chemistry between Dain and Livie is off the charts and I only wanted their happiness to continue! Livie is amazing! I love her,not only because she is smart, but her instincts and bravery make her a heroine to admire. And Dain, There is nothing better than a man who will do anything for his woman. His strength, calmness and ability to do what needs to be done just won my heart. This is only book one and I cannot wait to see what Sheridan has in store for me next.
Stella Hunter and Evan Parker give an incredible performance. Hunter is one of my favorites, and her portrayal of Livie is spot on. Strength, courage, passion, it’s all there and her voice just brings out every emotion that she is feeling. Even scared, you could feel her love for Dain, her reason for carrying on in the inflections of her voice. Parker brings the alpha voice to Dain, and he gives that air of protectiveness as well as danger. You know he is dangerous and can hear it in his voice, but the tenderness he gives with Livie is heart melting. A fantastic pairing and wonderful listen.

Interesting storyline
Olivia and Dain are a very close couple and their relationship with each other is amazing. But one day Olivia goes to her work and disaster strikes. The hostage situation of her office just worsens as Olivia comes there.
Dain can get his wife out and he has the skills for it. The way he works around to get his wife out of trouble forms the story.
Enjoyed it.
Safeguarding what is Precious…
This story revolves around Olivia and Dain Brannan. Husband and wife for 10 years and counting. They still have so much passion for each other, they could put newlyweds to shame. You don’t often read stories about married couples that have been together for years. It was refreshing. Their relationship was a joy to read especially the back and forth sparring between them, and also the hot steam they still have for each other. Dain is ex-military and now works for JCL Securities. He is sexy, gorgeous and all alpha male. Olivia works for a financial firm and is feisty and can definitely go toe to toe with her husband.
Olivia’s day starts off with amazing news, but later events take place that turns it nasty. The company where she works gets taken over by criminals who hold her and her co-workers hostage. When Dain discovers his wife is amongst the hostages, he goes into full kick ass mode to save her. This story is full of action, suspense and intrigue. The secondary characters are not to be left out. They hold their own when it comes to this story. I flew through this book and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.
Dain is part of a security team and he never imagined that one day all his training and his team memebers would have to use all their skills to rescue Olivia, his wife of ten years. Olivia never thought that all the times Dain had taught her how to get out of a situation would one day come in handy and that one day has happened when she finds out some happy news, bringing the good news on the back burner as she has to find a way to survive.
An amazing read with steam right from the get go, suspense and action. These two had me spellbound and I loved seeing after ten years of marriage the sparks are still there and strong as ever between a couple. I was on the edge of my seat and I loved how both Dain and Olivia were like the honorary parents of the team and how all of them brought their A game to save someone who they all cherish and love. The story flowed beautifully, the descriptions were spot on, like I was right there in the room and the emotions from all of them flew off the pages…amazing read.
Olivia is taken hostage and Dain is out to rescue his wife. He will go thru the cops to get to her if he has to. This is a sexy, hot husband out to save his world…his love…his wife. Adventure, suspense and romance.
A very short well written action packed suspensful mystery romance. Dain and Olivia have been married for 10 years and wanting to have a child. Dain is ex military and a member of private security team. When olivia find out she is pregnant and gets to work finding a murder and hostage situation she calls Dain for help before she gets noticed. This story has great characters, witty banter, love, determintation, strong connections, romance and sex in this exciting short story.

When Dain wakes up one morning to an empty bed, he knows something is wrong. His wife never wakes up before him. He’s immediately on high alert – being ex military and a current security specialist has ingrained that response in him. Thankfully he finds his beautiful wife, Olivia, in the shower, and a hot, wet encounter soon follows. Unfortunately, Dain’s bad feeling was precipitous, because when Olivia walks into her office a few hours later, she finds a positively bloody situation. Thank God her hubby runs a premiere security team and she knows if anyone can rescue her, it’s Dain and his team at JCL Security.
Although I haven’t read any of the other stories in this series, I found Come for Me easy to get into and understand and I fell in love with the whole team and Dain and Olivia. They have intense, sexy chemistry; add in the action and suspense and it just amps up the passionate tone. I can’t wait for more of this series and this team.
I would say read this book I could not put it down part of the Southern Nights: Enigma series and I want the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Action-packed story in the Southern Nights: Enigma series. This is my first read by Ella Sheridan and I was hoping the story was as good as the blurb. I really enjoyed meeting the characters of JCL Security. This story is about Dominant Dain and his wife Olivia. Dain is the perfect Alpha male, and Olivia is a strong minded career woman-except in the bedroom. While their scenes together are hot, I thoroughly enjoyed how it was balanced with the plot, and the camaraderie of Dain’s team members. Not a long read, but well-written & I’ll be reading more books by this author.
Dain is one intense man he is ex military and a security expert. When he woke up this morning he knew something was wrong because his wife was not next to him. Finding her in the shower gave him pause and after their shower rendezvous everything was ok. Olivia didn’t tell him about the meeting she was having with her doctor and boy was it an eye opener. Going into work she never expected what she was walking into especially after the news she received from her doctor. Now she had a good reason to keep herself safe and she can only hope that Dain will get to her in time.

I’ve been in a Suspenseful mood lately and this fits the bill perfectly. The premise reminds me of Taken, where Dain Brannen has a particular set of skills and has to use them to save someone he loves.
Sounds exciting, right?
This is a short story with heat, tenderness and suspense. Loved the comradery of the team members. Looking forward to reading their stories!
