Drew is the 4th book in the Lighthouse Security Investigations series, although this is the first one of the series I have read. It definitely can be read as a stand alone. I thought the book was very well written, and I loved Drew and Babs. This book was action packed, full of danger and adventures. The chemistry between Drew and Babs sizzles, and Babs proves to be much stronger that I expected her to be. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
So excited that I finally got to read Drew and Bab’s story after “watching” them dance aroound each other in some of the other Lighthouse Security Investigation books. From reading other books you realize that Babs has probably been hiding something from her past but once you find out what that something is it is a huge shocker. Drew and Babs have always had something special going on but neither one ever let it get past the co-worker flirting stage. When Bab’s “forced” vacation becomes the vacation from hell with more adventure and danger than anyone could imagine, Drew is sent to help get her back home. What should have been a chance to find out if they could be more than co-workers becomes an adventure that no one expected. As usual, Maryann Jordan’s writing is superb and the characters and storyline are beyond fantastic. Do yourself a favor and read this book. While it “could be” read as a standalone, it is much better to start with book one so you will understand the other characters, storylines and how Drew and Bab’s came to be.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
Another great read from this author. I fell for Drew from the beginning and Babs was perfect for him. I loved the story, chemistry and characters. Together this was a great book.
Yes, Drew and Babs finally see the light and get together. Babs has some major baggage and trust issues, will Drew be a keeper?
Babs vacation is anything but, sea sickness, pirates, murder, kidnapping, crooked cops….and love. What more could you want?
Great action packed story with lovable characters.
Another Five star book from the talented Maryann Jordan, Drew is book four in the Lighthouse Security Investigation series and can I just say I absolutely loved this book. This is a story with adventure, danger and definitely heart. The characters were spectacular we’ve gotten to know these two Drew and Babs in the previous stories and couldn’t help but really love their bantering and we finally get their story and boy was this book worth the wait. Drew has always had his eyes on Babs and when an opportunity arises for him to be alone with Babs he jumps at the chance. Babs has just recovered from a job related injury and she is sent on vacation but things just don’t go as planned. This is where the real adventure starts and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend this great book It is a great addition to an already exciting series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. Loved it so much purchased it to add to my collection.
FIVE ADDICTIVE STARS!
It was everything that I wanted in their story and more. If you’ve been following this series since the beginning then you all have been waiting for Drew and Babs. Y’all, Maryann checked off all the boxes, friends to lovers, action, mystery, sexy times and a story that you will NOT want to put down.
When the feelings that these two have for one another, finally surface. We watch as these two head into uncharted territory being more than friends. And it’s so entertaining to watch.
I will extend my review closer to release day!
*I was given a free advanced copy of this book by the author/publisher in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.*
Drew & Babs finally get their story…hooray!
These two think they”ve fooled everyone by hiding their true feelings for each other behind their ever present flirtatious banter. Newsflash! They haven’t. When Babs’ vacation turn into a nightmare, Drew finally gets his chance to become her knight in shining armor and save her in several different ways. When Babs finally opens up about her past Drew’s was incredible. His non-judgemental, supportive, loving response was priceless. Sharing her burden only strengthens their love.
Bad guys abound. Babs and Drew’s situation turns dire but the Lighthouse team gets there to back Drew up as he fights to save his woman. In the end the good guys prevail and there is an HEA for Drew and Babs!
I absolutely love this story .
It is beautifully written . This story is as wonderful as the other stories in The Lighthouse Security Series . This is Drew ( Robert Drew ) and Babs’s (Barbara Mabrey ) story . Drew and Babs both work for Lighthouse Security . They have been dancing around each other and their feelings for each other far to long . After an assignment goes bad with Babs , Mace head of Lighthouse Security sends her on a vacation to cruise the Caribbean little did they know it is not turning out like everyone thought . Soon Drew heads to bring Babs back home , but the adventure and danger is just beginning for Drew and Babs . This is a fantastic story . It’s full of action , suspense , Intrigue and secrets and love . The characters are outstanding . Babs is a strong and fierce woman she has secrets . Drew is a true knight in shining armor . I cannot say enough about this story .
I really enjoyed reading this story and I highly recommend reading . I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Drew . This is my honest opinion .
Loved Babs and Drew. This is a friend’s to lovers with plenty going on to keep your attention. Heat, humor, action and of course friends you know from previous books. It’s a book you won’t want to put down once you start. Definitely recommend reading. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review
This is the book I’ve been waiting for! Wow Ms Jordan didn’t disappoint at all. With each book we read we get glimpses int o who these guys and their women are. Babs has always been around but somewhat in the background. So we know her but not what shapes her past. It’s been hinted at and I could tell her story was gonna be important.
As Babs goes on vacation after their last op saw her injured, it doesn’t quite go to plan. Drew realises he’s been wasting time and wit a little nudge form his team mates he goes and joins her. Fortunately just in time! What follows is an intriguing and suspenseful journey where they discover both have been holding back. Their love story was a joy to read and watch unfold. Unfortunately it’s never that simple. But in true Lighthouse style the team is waiting in the wings for support. I couldn’t put this book down! It kept me gripped from the first page. Amazing book. Definitely a must read book and series.
We are back with the Lighthouse Security Investigations group and this time, the story belongs to colleagues Drew (Robert Drew) and Babs Mabrey. He is a former Air Force pilot and CIA Special Ops member and Babs is also a former CIA Special operative. While he goes on missions, she manages the office of LSI.
If you have read the previous stories in this series, you are aware that these two have been attracted to each other, but it isn’t until Babs is gifted a cruise after being injured on the job, and ends up encountering pirates on the island of St. Lucia, that Drew comes to her rescue. Not only does a relationship begins, but we also find out Babs story. A story that is heartbreaking .
Will they be able to fight back the pirates in time to find their HEA?
Another engaging story in this series filled with complex characters, bad guys and of course, romance.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Babs and Flyboy Drew have been ignoring their attraction from the start, but that changes when Babs cuts short her vacation cruise and Drew flies down to bring her home. The day he gets there, though, she has a run-in with pirates, one that will come back to haunt what should have been their romantic getaway. In addition to a great story, with a really pertinent storyline, there’s the human element of Drew and Babs’s story, and Babs’s CIA experience that makes a very unwelcome flashback appearance – one that Drew talks her through. If that scene alone doesn’t leave you feeling warm and touched, nothing ever will!
I received a free copy of this book This review was posted voluntarily.
Drew is the fourth book in the Lighthouse Security Investigations Series. Each story is a standalone with connected characters. Both Drew and Babs work for Mace at LSI but Babs works in house and doesn’t usually go out on missions.
Reading the previous stories I knew there was something brewing between Drew and Babs, but both were trying to ignore the pull.
“Sweetheart, life happens. We just gotta roll with it. The great thing is when you got someone special to roll with.”
A giggle slipped out, and she said, “Jesus, Drew, there was so much sage advice in the middle of all that, and yet it still seemed funny.”
After a rough mission ended, Mace insisted that Babs needed a vacation and she goes on a cruise. But things do not go according to plan, Babs is not feeling her best and she ends up on an island, embroiled in trouble.
“Thank you,” he breathed. “Thank you for giving yourself to me.”
She opened her mouth to speak, but her words came out rough. She cleared her throat, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and began again. “I could not have given this to you if I did not know how carefully you would have handled it.”
Babs is a great heroine. She used to work for the CIA and is a strong and capable woman but has trouble admitting her weaknesses. I loved seeing Babs open up to Drew and show him her vulnerabilities.
The story was loaded with romance, action and adventure that kept me flipping pages and reading beyond my bedtime!!
-5 Stars!-
A fun, flirty friendship has both Drew and Babs longing for more but neither are ready to take that step until Babs is sent on a mandatory vacation after an OP turns ugly and Drew joins her…the magic of Maryann Jordan and her LSI series rocks our emotions out of the ballpark. Grab this AWESOME read and take this emotional journey with us as we ride the rollercoaster of finding love, keeping love and loving life.
Drew: Lighthouse Security and Investigations

When Drew and Babs finally get together more than fireworks happen. I started this book yesterday and couldn’t put it down until I finished it. It draws you into the heart and soul of Babs and Drew and doesn’t let you go.
Romance intertwined with suspense on a tropical island that has you mesmerized until the end.
Another great book in the Lighthouse Securities and Investigations series. A must read.
I loved this story. Babs was so strong and has been through more than most know. Drew was an awesome hero.Drew was strong and supportive when Babs needed it most. Lots of action and drama along the way to their HEA.
