At a buddy’s wedding, I met her. The perfect woman. The one who made me want something more than a one night stand. I had the most amazing night with her, only to wake up the next morning to an empty bed. Two and a half years later, Garrett met Hope again. If he accept an offer to provide live-in security to some rich tech guy—it turns out she’ll be his new roommate. At first, he wasn’t sure if … wasn’t sure if he wanted the job, but now there’s no way he can turn down this position.
Only Hope refuses to talk about the night they spent together. At the mere mention of it the color leaves her face and her hands shake like she’s on the verge of a panic attack.
When threats against our new boss escalate, Garrett vows to protect them both. Even if Hope continues to hide something from him. He doesn’t know what it is, but he’s not about to let her go just because his new boss pissed off someone who wants to kill him.

Garrett (Dark Water Security Book 2)
By: Madison Quinn
5 out of 5 stars
The story Garrett (Dark Water Security Book 2) by Madison Quinn is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that drew me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. It is a book that has mystery and romance. There are moments that made me sad and others that warmed my heart. My emotions went up and down all through the story. I loved reading about Garrett and Hope. They had met before. He had felt a connection to her. He awoke to find an empty bed. Now Garrett and Hope meet again. The connection that he felt is still there. Hope however seems to be hiding something, refusing to talk about the night they spent together. Will he find out why? Garrett is protecting his boss who has been threatened. He will protect Hope as well. Will he be able to keep them both safe from harm? What does the future hold for Garrett and Hope? Read this book to find out. This story has emotional and intense dialogue. Hope and Garret are both character that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read. They deserve happiness and I was rooting for them to find it. The story has steamy and romantic moments. It also enjoyed reading about many of the secondary characters that are introduced. This is an amazing second book in the Dark Water Security series. Highly recommended reading.
Book two in the Dark Water Security Series by Madison Quinn might not be as intense as the first book, but that is hardly surprising as the first book was really a tough one. Still, the author did a great job with Garrett in creating yet another intense character that I instantly loved. What actually made the story less intense for me was the job the two leading characters had aka the “boss” of both of them.
I actually felt irritated at times because with the plot pointing in one direction I somehow expected something that did not happen.
Still, I can not wait for the next book in the series hoping it will be the second owner’s story – on the other hand, I can also see some other interesting stories with other for now secondary characters. We will see what the author will give us next.
This is book 2 of the Dark Water Security books and if you loved Luke you are going to love Garrett!! Garrett and Hope have a history that Hope struggles with but Garrett is understanding! Garrett is the stone alpha male that we all love and just what Hope needs! They have an amazing and intense chemistry together! I can’t get enough of the Dark Water Security guys and I am super excited about the next one!!!
The Dark Water Security series continues with Garrett and it’s phenomenal! Hope’s compelling story about overcoming multiple tragedies in her life after meeting Garrett for the first time. They meet again while working for the same employer and flashbacks from that night threaten to derail the progress she has made in her life. Garrett realizes Hope is the woman he met and was unable to keep contact. Danger lurks for them and the trust they have for each other gets them through it. Fantastic ending, can’t wait to read Alec’s story!

Loved Garrett. The 2nd book in this series was as great as the 1st. You fall for Hope and Garrett and cheer them on in their rediscovery of each other and their new friendship and ultimately love. I love how Madison introduces the lead of her next book into the current book. She lets you in on their story just a smidge so they feel familiar when you read the next book. Give this book and this series a read.
If you love reading second chance love stories you’ll love this book. It was a great romance and also some twists and turns along the way to make it interesting. Garrett and Hope met 2 1/2 years ago at a wedding. They end up spending the entire night together. Their perfect night continues until the next morning when Garrett wakes and finds Hope mysteriously gone. He had never connected to anyone like Hope and now she is gone without a last name to track her. Fast forward present day. They end up face to face after both accepting a live-in position with a man receiving death threats. Hope is the housekeeper and Garrett works with a security firm. Hope almost has a panic attack when she sees Garrett and he has no clue why. What happened while he slept that made Hope leave without saying goodbye?
Garrett is ex military and just starting a new gig with Dark Wayer Security for a tech guru. It’s a live in sitch.
Two years ago, he met Hope and they had a hook up. But she ghosted on him and he went back. He’d hoped to keep in touch but no such luck with no last name.
To his surprise, Hope is living in his new situation.
Some intrigue and steam.

Garrett is the 2nd book in the fantastic Dark Water Security series. I adored book 1 in the series ‘Luke’ and was looking forward to getting to know the other members of the Dark Water Security team. This book did not disappoint.
Garrett is an ex-marine and is a new member of the Dark Water Security team. As an ex-marine, I expected Garrett to be a hard and unyielding character, whereas he turned out to be a sweet, loving guy who I couldn’t help but totally adore. Yes, he was mentally tough and would do anything to protect Hope and their boss Mr Mayer but there was a sweet, vulnerable side to him which made him very appealing.
I also adored Hope. Coming through such a traumatic event in her past had made her build up walls which seemed unbreakable but would Garrett be the man that got those walls to crumble? Over 2 years previously Hope and Garrett had met at a wedding and had an amazing night together but when he woke in the morning Hope was gone. Garrett has spent the last 2.5 years wondering what happened that night and now he will do everything to find out.
In this book Garrett is working as security detail to Mr Meyer and Hope is Mr Meyer’s live in housekeeper. Will those who are out to hurt Mr Meyer end up putting Hope in danger? Not if Garrett has anything to say about it!
I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the second book of the Dark Water Security series. I absolutely love second chance romance but this book exceeded all my expectations. This book can be read as a stand alone but there are prior characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I dropped everything and started it right away. This story had me hooked from the first page and it only took me a full day to devour this incredible story.
When Garrett first saw Hope he knew they had something. They had an unforgettable night together but when he wakes up the next morning she was gone. Garrett was lost without her but he found his calling by protecting people. He is hired to protect a new tech millionaire. Garrett is shocked when he finds out that his Hope is the cook for this man. He still wants answers from that night but when he mentions it to Hope she doesn’t want to discuss it. They start to get know each other all over again and they quickly realize they still have strong feelings for one another. Garrett starts to find out some things about their boss that can put him and her into danger. Will Garrett be able find out where the danger is coming from or will it be too late?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, mystery, and suspense. You will fall in love with these characters. Garrett looks really tough on the outside but deep down he wants to find his one. He loves his job and he will do anything for the ones he loves. The way he treats Hope will make your heart melt. Hope is a beautiful woman. She had a devastating thing happen to her but it made her stronger. Hope is one of my favorite female characters of the year. I loved that despite of her fears she faced them and it gave her more strength. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what she will write for us next.
Garrett was a great 5 star read and book two in the Dark Water Security series. Madison continues to pull me in with her writing, I was excited to get Garrett and Hopes story.
Garrett has a new job with Dark Water Security, he will be a live in security person. He will be sharing a living area with someone else who works for the guy. What he doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with the woman who walked away after one night two years ago, the woman he hasn’t been able to forget about since.
Hope is shocked when she sees Garrett, it sends her into a near panic attack. Seeing him brings back memories of what happened that night two years ago. Something happened after Hope left Garrett, but what? Can Garrett finally get the answer he’s looking for?
These two reignite their connection the more they spend time together. You can feel it coming off the pages. Overall I really enjoyed both characters very much. The secondary characters were great and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. If you’re looking for a great new series, I highly recommend this one.
One thing I like about the Dark Water Security Series by Madison Quinn is that you do not need to read the other books to be able to follow along. Garrett, the second book in the series holds true to that statement. Madison Quinn is a contemporary romance author who does not focus on the romance part of the story, do not get me wrong romance is there but there is a story around the romance. Garrett and Hope had one night together and he did not think he would see Hope again. Well the new job has Garrett sharing living space with Hope again. Garrett needs to do security for a guy which is getting intense. Garrett vows to protect his client and Hope but Hope is hiding something from Garrett. What will the outcome of Garrett and Hope’s relationship be? Will Hope tell Garrett what she is hiding from him?
Garrett by Madison Quinn
5-stars
Garrett by Madison Quinn was a phenomenal read from start to finish! It’s the 2nd book in the Dark Water Security Series, a series I would recommend reading in order for proper storyline introduction.
Garrett’s story was so well written with so many details the storyline flowed so well. There was just enough going on that I was highly entertained the whole way through. I loved being able to follow Hope as she discovers how to live a great life after trauma. The two of them together were perfection and I hope to read more about them in the future!
I would recommend this book and series to anyone looking for their next read!
Garrett (Dark Water Security Series Book 2) by Madison Quinn is a story about
second chances. It is a story that has secrets and lies, a little mystery and suspense
and a little danger and intrigue. I would have liked to see more a little more danger,
but overall I enjoyed the story and Madison’s writing style. I would read book one first
because the characters crossover as it is about the men of the Dark Water Security,
and let me tell you they are some smoking hot men.
Garrett is an ex-marine and a newby with the Dark Water Security team who is still
trying to sort his life out after the marines. So when he is offered a new assignment
as live in personal security guard he has no qualms. However, when he arrives he
sees someone who he has not been able to get out of his mind since the wonderful
night they spent together and now she wants nothing to do with him.
Hope spent on beautiful night with a stranger but what happened after she left,
changed her life forever. She cannot think about one without thinking about the other
and one just about killed her. Now she has come face to face with the new security
guard, who just happens to be the beautiful stranger but as the two are intertwined
everything that happened that night comes rushing back, threatening to destroy her.
I can’t wait to read book three
Garrett (Dark Water Security #2) by Madison Quinn was an engaging, interesting read that held my attention.
Not my first read from this author or in this series. I met Garrett in the first book, “Luke”, so I was eager to get my hands on this book when I seen it was about him. Though this book is part of a series, it reads as a standalone, and the books takes place away from the “office” you could say, so there aren’t many, actually hardly no, spoilers from that first book.
As much as I like this book, I will say that it was a little slow going. Not just with the romantic plot, and why his lady love left him high and dry, all those years ago, but with the actual reason Garrett was there in the first place. The action plot/mystery. There was such a build up that I, felt a little, meh, at the climax, and frankly, I don’t know it was because it took so long to get there that the author may have lost some of that spark along the way.
Overall though, this book was well crafted, fun, and I very much love the MC’s interactions. I felt it, and it was believable. So yes this books isn’t all shoot them up, but this has this charm to it that keeps you reading, keeps you entertained, and keeps you intrigued. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall into this easy read.
Happy Reading

Garrett by Madison Quinn is the second book in the Dark Water Security series. This book focuses on Garrett. He is a part of the Dark Water Security team and was briefly introduced in book one. This can be read as a standalone and still be enjoyed completely. Garrett is working as live-in security for a tech guy when Hope comes back into his life. The two had a possible missed opportunity at something several years back. Will this time be different?
I really like Garrett and Hope. Both characters are smartly written and there is a good dialogue between them. I also like the build-up of suspense and danger in the story. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next.
Garrett is the second book on Madison Quinn’s Dark Water Security series. Madison Quinn gave us an earth shaking opening with Luke and she continues strong in Garrett. Garrett is not as intense as Luke but in no way are we disappointed with him! We could see the promise of him in the first book, considering how brief his appearance was, it does tell you something!
Garrett’s assignment is working personal security for a tech mogul and he needs to live on site. This live in comes with a surprise though – never ever did he imagine that he would come face to face with ‘the one who got away’. Hope disappeared from his bed after an unforgettable night and leaving Garrett with nothing but a memory …
In some ways we have sort of two stories in one – we have the mystery of what happened that night and what happened to Hope and then this bodyguard gig and the danger to the tech mogul. The writer is very good at building up the suspense and yes, at times it feels as if the story is moving a bit too slow but the way how the story is told, you do not dare to put the book down as you need to know who where what how why …
I cannot wait to see what the writer will give us next as every single one of the Dark Water Security team members deserves a story!
Garrett by Madison Quinn is the second book in the Dark Water Security series. I loved Garrett, he was just an amazing guy and after meeting his parents I could see why.
Hope’s life changed two and a half years ago, she went from the best night to the worse in a blink of an eye. She has struggled to start living again after that night but thanks to her best friend she is able to start moving forward.
Garrett is fairly new with Dark Water Security and is surprised when he walks into his new job. He never expected this small twist of fate when he got ready for work that day.
They both have wounds from their past they keep haunting them, especially at night though Hope’s seem to effect her more. It almost seems like anyone associated with Dark Water Security has some stuff in their past that seems to cause some problems for them every now and again.
I really enjoyed this book a lot, there was just something about them. I do have some questions about Garrett and his past. Nothing huge or really pertaining to the story, just curiosity on my part.
Looking forward to the next book.
