Dangerous Witness by Katie Reus
Dangerous Witness is the 3rd book in the Redemption Harbor series. This book can be read as a stand alone book, but would be enjoyed most with the history of the other two books. This series is about a group of friends and each book focuses on one member of the group. They start the Redemption Harbor Consulting. They did this to help people who are in trouble but cannot afford help or to go to the authorities.
This book brings us the story of Brooks Alexander and Darcy Cooper. Brooks is the man who broke Darcy’s heart when he broke up with her when he thought she was able to be bribed with 2 million to stay away from him by his father. Fate throws them together again when Darcy who is a wedding planner overhears something she should not have while prepping her sister’s wedding. That throws Brooks and Darcy together again to protect her. Of course they work their way back together after numerous problems. I am not going to give anything else away, I did enjoy this story very much. I received an ARC for my honest review.
Great book
Wow! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Ms. Reus does not disappoint. Another great story! I have not had the pleasure to read the two books prior to this one yet but you will not be lost, promise. In this story we have Brooks and Darcy. Brooks made a huge mistake 7 months prior and is now realizing the error of his ways. After accusing Darcy of something she did not do, there relationship ended. Now he wants her back and is willing to do anything to get her back. Darcy needs help and protection, from Redemption Harbor and Consulting, after hearing something she shouldn’t have. Filled with action, suspense, great secondary characters, steamy sex scenes, this story takes you on a rollercoaster ride. Brooks and Darcy get their HEA. 4 stars!!!

Another good read. Enjoy her books.
I enjoyed your book and look forward to reading more.
An entertaining and enjoyable storyline with several ups and downs throughout
I read the entire series of these books and found them hard to put down. The characters are great and I am looking forward to the newest book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This was an intense and gripping story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Brooks and Darcy’s second chance together. I loved the dual POV that the book is written in. It really helps me to understand what the character is going though and why he or she is doing things that may not seem logical to me. Everyone responds differently to situations.
The book started out with a bang and kept building toward a explosive ending. This story kept me entertained to where it was hard to put down. The scenes were crafted in a way that they flowed like a movie in my mind. I highly recommend this story to anyone.
I absolutely love this book and this series. It is one of the best series that I have read. I would definitely recommend it.
This is the first in the series that I’ve read and while technically it’s a stand-alone novel, I probably would have benefited from having read the other stories. Reus does a pretty good job of giving new readers the info they need but I think that there are certain nuances and details that I missed out on.
While I enjoyed Brooks as a hero, he was definitely everything you could want as a part of this elite unit of mercenaries – strong, tough, smart, and ruthless. He also loves Darcy with his whole heart … even if he did go and screw it up at the very beginning 🙂
If I was Darcy I’d definitely have made him work for it a bit more but I also have to appreciate the lack of games and dramatics between the two. There’s hesitation on her part and a bit of groveling on his, but they do eventually figure it out. I also like that Darcy is smart enough to realize that this is something much bigger than she can’t handle on her own. She listens to the professionals and lets them help guide her.
And speaking of danger, Reus sure knows how to crank things up. The action and suspense element of this story was balanced really well with the romance portion. Overall, an enjoyable read and some more stories to add to my TBR pile because I’m dying to get my hands on the other stories in this series 🙂

Misunderstanding broke them apart.
Will a second chance be enough to reunite them ?
Alexander was wrong about Darcy, and he wants her back.
Darcy suffered a disappointment, but is she willing to give him a second chance ?
I loved the storytelling + the characters
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
This is book three in the “A Redemption Harbor” series. This is one of the “original seven” story I was looking forward to, Brooks. We get a preview of Brooks in the previous two books but you don’t need to read them as this could be read as a standalone. Although, it wouldn’t hurt to read the others as they are all really good reads as well.
I love sexy military cowboys and rich; that is what you get with this story. I also love a man who can admit when he is wrong which is what Brooks will have to do. But is he seven months too late? Guess you’ll have to read it for yourself to see. I really like Darcy, she is a strong business woman who doesn’t let anyone hold her back from her dreams; and that includes a certain sexy cowboy. When trouble brings them together, she needs him and his team to keep her and her sister safe. I do have to let you know for those with certain triggers that there is a brief kidnapping scene along with man handling.
This story has got lots of action, suspense and some sexy love scenes. I hope you enjoy this book, I know I did. I look forward to the next book in the series!

I LOVED IT AND I ALWAYS BUY KATIE REUS BOOKS
Love her books
Brooks has been a bit of an idiot where Darcy is concerned. He leapt before he looked and just assumed she had taken the bribe offered by his father. But when he finds out she refused the cash, well he feels a bit of a heel. He tries to get in her good graces sending flowers and such but his father, who finally seems to be re-entering the land of the caring father thanks to a certain former nanny, tells him to apologise in person. On his way to see Darcy he sees her being mugged and runs to the rescue.
Darcy cannot believe that Brooks saved here. After the way he broke her heart, she is not sure she wants anything to do with him any more. She is stressed planning her sisters wedding, dealing with her sisters future father in law and his creepy henchmen.
But when she later hears something she shouldn’t she calls on Brooks firm to help her.
I loved the way that Darcy realises why Brooks went a bit OTT in the assumptions he made and can forgive him, but she is not ready to offer up her heart on a silver platter just yet. She wants to get to know Brooks again. Brooks for his part knows he has been a prize idiot and is happy to take it slow if that’s what Darcy wants.
Great dollop of danger, creepy henchman, bomb plots and general mayhem. Loves the way the wedding of our previous couple was woven through the book and became a way to keep contact so that the team wouldn’t be discovered investigating! Pacing a wee bit slower than previous books but still highly enjoyed it!
Brooks made a mistake and broke up with Darcy without finding out the truth. Darcy is trying to get over Brooks but she finds herself in trouble and whether she wants him to be or not Brooks is there to keep her safe and to try to get her back.
As Darcy goes about planning her sister’s wedding, she overhear the conversation of a dangerous man and his destructive plans that are going to happen within a week. While they are trying to figure out exactly where and when this is going to happen, things start to go wrong for Darcy. She decides that whether she can trust Brooks or not with her heart, she can trust him to keep her safe.
I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
4.25 stars– DANGEROUS WITNESS is the third instalment in Katie Reus’s contemporary, adult REDEMPTION HARBOR romantic suspense series focusing on a tight knit group of friends who grew up together but now work security and Black Ops investigations for Redemption Harbor Consulting. This is former Marine sniper, millionaire rancher and co-founder of Redemption Harbor Consulting Brooks Alexander, and wedding planner Darcy Cooper’s story line. DANGEROUS WITNESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from several third person perspectives including Brooks and Darcy DANGEROUS WITNESS follows the rekindling relationship between former Marine sniper, millionaire rancher and co-founder of Redemption Harbor Consulting Brooks Alexander, and wedding planner Darcy Cooper. Approximately seven months earlier Brooks Alexander pushed away the woman he loved when his father told him he offered Darcy a two million dollar pay-off to walk away and never look back. Fast forward to present day wherein Darcy Cooper, while planning her sister’s upcoming wedding overhears a plot to blow up a local school. Desperate to find help, our heroine goes in search of the man she once loved. Enter Brooks Alexander, co-owner of Redemption Harbor Consulting. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and rekindling love between Darcy and Brooks, and the set up and take down of several men with criminal connections seeking vengeance against those who did them wrong.
Brooks Alexander screwed up big time believing the woman he loved could be so easily paid off. Darcy never took the money but was never given the chance to defend or explain the events leading up to Brooks’ father’s proclamations. Hoping to rekindle their relationship Brooks works overtime to win back Darcy’s love but in doing so discovers that Darcy has been targeted by a very dangerous man. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the men and women who work for Redemption Harbor Consulting: Mary Grace and Mercer, Colt Stuart and Skye Arevalo (Resurrection #1), Zac Savage and Olivia Carter, her daughter Valencia (Savage rising #2) and Valencia’s nanny Martina Cruz, Leighton Cannon, Gage Yates, Brook’ father Douglas; Darcy’s sister Emma, and her fiancé Peter Markov. The requisite evil has many faces with connections to the Russian mob.
The world building continues to focus on the take down of the bad guys. There is no hesitation as is pertains to protecting the people that they love including using some questionable tactics to get the job done.
DANGEROUS WITNESS is a story of second chances and hope; of vengeance and betrayal; friendship and family. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are colorful, charismatic and passionate. My only complaint is the convenient and tidy conflict resolution to the slow building, story line set up as the Redemption Harbor team work together to prevent a series of explosions all aimed at vengeance for sins of the past.
Brooks and Darcy had been dating for a while until his father told him she accepted two million dollars to stop seeing him. He confronts her and they break up. Now seven months later Darcy is planning her sister’s wedding and overhears a conversation she shouldn’t have. She doesn’t know who to tell so she goes to Brooks. Brooks and his friends own a consulting business and they have to figure out what’s going down, when, and how. Plus try to win Darcy back.
Excellent story with funny characters, suspenseful storyline, and some sexy scenes. Crazy in laws, rich men, and hard working women who love them.
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for Netgalley *
When Brooks’ father admitted to offering Darcy two million dollars to walk away, Brooks assumed the worse and destroyed everything he had built with her. Now that he knows the truth he longs to make things right but he’s hesitant to hear the word no. However, Darcy overhears a conversation that puts her life as well as others on the line and she is in need of help. The police can’t be trusted so she turns to Savage, Brooks’ coworker at Redemption Harbor Consulting. That’s all it takes for Brooks to push his way back into her life and hopefully this time for good.
Darcy is sweet and caring and despite being scared out of her wits concerning what she overheard, she stays strong and perseveres until the bad guy can be taken down. Brooks is a take charge alpha that suddenly finds himself a little off balance as he insists on protecting Darcy even as he apologizes for his past actions.
The action in this book was worthy of nail biting. So much suspense as Brooks and his team race against time to help bring down a web of villains, each caught in the others trap. Along the way he’s trying to protect Darcy and I was turning the pages as quickly as I could.
While this certainly hits the thriller mark, the romance felt as though it were running in the background. There were a lot of scenes where this couple were not together or where other characters were the main focus. However, when they were the focal point the words flew and the story soared. And the steam factor between these two is enough to singe your Kindle. Let me also add that any hero who would do what Brooks does in order to insure Darcy’s protection will always rate high on my protective alpha hero chart.
