When what should be a simple assignment becomes a whole lot more…For Hunter, what should be an easy job of finding another veteran’s long-lost brother has turned up nothing but dead ends. Even worse, it uncovered problems his team thought had long since been buried. Down to his last lead, he tracks down a woman who has his protective instincts kicking in for reasons he can’t fully understand. … fully understand. While her expressive dark eyes and generous curves catch his attention, it’s her fiery temper that holds it.
Back in her hometown, hiding from a man who almost destroyed her life, Frankie’s thrown off guard when a bossy bearded stranger shows up looking for information on the biker she’d rather forget. And he’s not taking no for an answer. With more to protect than herself now, she knows firsthand what can happen when you place your trust in the wrong person, but something about the former Green Beret has her not only letting him into her home but also her heart.
Hunter’s determined to complete his mission and keep Frankie safe—no matter the cost. Though he didn’t expect that cost to also involve his heart.
Note: Hunter is the third book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to read both series in order, each book can be read as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.

Love, Love, Loved Hunter & Frankie! This book has a fiery sassy female & an equally as bossy male who blend together perfectly. I loved the story line of Hunter tracking down Slade’s brother and his ending couldn’t have been written any better. I also thought the portrayal of Hunter’s claustrophobia was beautifully written. Looking forward to the next in this series! As usual, fantastic writing Jeanne St. James! I never regret picking up one of your stories!
Oh I LOVED this story!!
I loved the action packed sexy adventure from start to finish, I think I want to go again!!
Frankie is hilarious and strong and amazingly multifaceted I loved that she doesn’t think first. To have the fire she has would be brilliant.
Hunter can be the fuel to that fire or the extinguisher, his back story is dramatic and powerful which makes him the alpha man he is.
As a couple they are HAWT!! Their passion for each other is extensive and fiery sweet.
All up and incredible addition to the series and the original DAMC series I cannot wait for what comes next, come to me Walker!!!
This book was everything in this series. I fell in love with Hunter and Frankie from the start. What an amazing ride.
The story of Hunter and Frankie grabs you from the very fist page and you don’t want it to end! They are so well matched even though Hunter fights it. Then you add in Leo and he adds such an additional spark to their story.
Another amazing book by Jeanne St James she is always my must read when a new book comes out.
Loved it! The humor! The characters! The chemistry! The 3 yr old that totally cracks me up! What a ride!!! You can never go wrong with this series!
Each book in this series gets better and better.
Hunter, Frankie and Leo. These three make the perfect trio.
This one starts out with a bang and never loses momentum.
Hunter is assigned the job to hunt down the missing sibling for Slade. He gets so much more than he bargains for. He meets Frankie, and his life will never be the same .
I do not want to spoil anything in this book, but you MUST READ THIS!!!
Hunter is serious hotness, and Frankie is the female equivalent.
It was fun to get to see some familiar faces. As always, our talented author didn’t disappoint. Phenomenal writing and I really wish I could be a part of this world. You feel as if you are there feeling everything as you read.
Highly recommend this installment. If you’ve not read the DAMC series, or the first two books of the Guts and Glory series, you really should read those first. It is a stand-alone, but oh so much better when you’ve read all of them. You’ll thank me if you do.
I absolutely loved Hunter and Frankie’s story. “A woman beautiful inside and out. With spirit and a temper to match.” Frankie is a single mom who would do anything for her son. She’s also a fiery Latina. Once again Jeanne writes about a woman with a realistic body. And a man that is VERY attracted to it. Hunter comes into Frankie’s life with a bang. Or I should say that Frankie comes into Hunter’s life with a bang. Hunter is an alpha that you definitely want to cover your six. There was steamy sex, funny banter, and heartfelt moments. Check, check, and check.There were a few times I laughed out loud. I loved the interactions from the rest of the Shadow Security squad, as well as a few brief appearances from the DAMC. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series.
I received this ARC in return for an honest review.
WOW! This book brought me to my knees! The story starts with the mission to find Slade’s possible brother.
Sounds easy? Not when everything goes down well and it gets crazy? But this is his line of work. But what if the attacker is a woman that has many secrets and doesn’t want to change a thing – just stay safe
Hunter seemed easy to understand, but later in the book, it was not that easy – he’s strong, manly, confident, but his layers are tangled. I fell for him – hard, and his personality made it even better.
Frankie is in the hiding from her past, one particular person to be exact. She lives in stress, so when a big car stops near her house – she goes immediately to the ‘protect’ mode. Which I think makes her true and loveable as she’s ready to do anything for her loved ones.
This story will bring those two people together, but will they allow passion to bloom or their vows will tear them apart?
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I loved Hunter and Frankie’s story. What an amazing addition to the series. I love all of D’s Shadows. Frankie was an amazing female lead. She is strong and has been through the ringer – raising a son by herself to a man that almost killed her.
The story picks up where the Shadows are still searching for Shadow Warriors. Frankie gets involved while Hunter was looking for one. It starts out hilarious – the first seen they are in together. Their relationship grows from there. This book is super steamy also!!! I loved Hunter even through I wanted to throttle him at times. I’m glad he finally got his happy ending!!
Jeanne St James does it again! Another thrilling, sexy and funny read which keeps your attention captured throughout!
Another badass guy bites the dust!
Loved it!
Loving this series; can’t wait until the next one.
This is my favorite book of the series so far! It has action, romance, dirty talk, snarky banter and cameos from some of our favorite Jeanne St James characters!
Hunter has been quietly in the background of the other shadows books but now we get a front row seat to all his growly alpha hotness. He is loyal and protective to those he cares about but like many men who have seen combat the scars he carries are not visible from the outside.
Frankie is feisty and outspoken with a take me as I am attitude that I adore. Her life hasn’t been easy so letting someone like Hunter not only into her home, but also her heart, is a huge leap for her. Their chemistry is explosive from the start and grows into a deep connection they both desperately deserve.
Oh Hunter and Frankie are so scorching hot!
Hunter meets Frankie when he’s tasked with a job, but the “job” turned into so much more. Hunter finds his center, and finds what he needs in life.
Guts and Glory: Hunter by Jeanne St. James is amazing. This is the third book in the In The Shadows Security series. This book had me laughing, crying, angry. I had all the feels. I could not put this book down. This book had me on an emotional roller coaster ride. It has romance, suspense, drama, intensity and feistiness of the characters, anger, angst, regret. The book is well written and has very likeable characters. This is a must read. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.
I have officially found my new book boyfriend. Hunter is everything I love to read about in my romance novels. Tough on the outside but a softy on the inside. Admittedly it does take some time to see his softer side but when it made its appearance I fell in love with him just a little bit more.
Then there is Frankie. I adored her almost as much as Hunter. She is a fierce momma bear who has been fighting for her son Leo since his conception. These two literally exploded on their first meeting and their story just keeps sparking chapter after chapter.
If Hunter is your first ever book by Jeanne you will soon realize why I refer to her as one of my favorite authors.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.
The meeting in “Badass Central” had me laughing at everything that was being said. All the guys together is something else.
When Hunter was sent to find a lost sibling…he kept hitting wall after wall until Frankie.
Frankie came on the set hitting hard and fast. Never did he expect to be on the wrong end of the introduction (that didn’t happen yet). Who is sent to investigate the confrontation? No one else except the Matt & Adam Bryson (Manning Grove, PA)
Frankie has skeletons in her closet that only a few people know about and she definitely doesn’t want anyone else to know.
Lets just say her ex is an ass from the word go.
The time and patience Hunter puts into this job is something else especially with his PTSD. He starts to feel for Frankie but because of his fear of setting down roots has him running.
Don’t worry everything works out in the end for the best.
Please enjoy this book as much as I have….NEVER get tired of reading Jeanne St James and you won’t either.
An event from Hunter’s past has the Shadow’s Security Specialist knowing that roots will never be for him.
Frankie wants to be able to have roots but someone from her past has her constantly looking over her shoulder.
When Hunter follows a trail to an elusive enemy from the Dirty Angel’s MC past, he follows the path straight into a fiery woman determined to defend her home and her son.
Frankie takes one look at Hunter and knows this man with his swaggering demeanor and sweltering looks has her in danger of falling for the bad boy. But she knows that while Hunter will give her his body and protection, she can never claim his heart.
What happens when danger comes calling and Hunter realizes the woman he swore was only a fling has become so much more? Can she bring him out of his darkest nightmare or will it be too late?
Sexy Alpha male. Check. Spicy woman determined not to take sh*t from anyone. Check. Sex so steamy even bone-straight hair curls. Check, check, check. Jeanne St. James incorporates romance, danger, the ultimate alpha males, and the women who go toe-to-toe with them. Hot damn woman, you did it again! I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
One Wild Ride !!
Hunter this guy is like no other, he’s one of a kind but he is good at what he does hunting which is why he his nickname is Hunter. So he is hunting down Slade’s brother one Slade doesn’t know and his information leads him to Frankie.
Frankie is one firecracker and after the life she has she literally take nothing off of Hunter she even goes as far as hurting one of his prized possessions. Lol.
Frankie is a spunky one and will do anything to protect herself after the things she went through. This story will keep you up reading until you are done because you can’t get enough of these two characters. Hunter never ever thought he was the marrying, settle down kind with a wife and kids but firecracker Frankie may just change his mind.
I voluntarily received an arc copy of this story for my honest review.
Hunter and Frankie are amazing together. I love me some Jeanne St James and her over the top alpha heros. She writes such fantastic characters. Hunter is the quintessential hero – protective, gruff and pretty irresistible – with flaws to match all his many awesome qualities. He’s so hard headed yet ultimately falls for Frankie. I loved Frankie – just trying to make her way in a violent world. The plot’s exciting and believable to help the action along. You’ll want to smack Hunter in the head a few times, but he gets there. They are so sweet together – finding each other’s roots. A fantastic page turning adventure with smoking hot scenes.
Danny Delgado, Jr. is known as Hunter because finding people by hacking the web is a skill he perfected as a Green Beret. Now he uses that skill as a member of his new team, Diesel’s In the Shadows Security, currently looking for Slade’s lost brother who was mentioned by Rocky when Crow went to visit him in prison. Don’t know Diesel, Slade, Rocky or Crow? Suggest you start back with DMAC’s Down and Dirty first book Zak or even better with the Brothers in Blue set to be fully aware of the setting and characters in Hunter. Or you can read this stand-alone thriller where Hunter meets Frankie while doing leg work searching for the last of the Shadow Warriors, an MC that his security team had thought they had completely disposed of. And be surprised by the panic attack caused when Hunter’s PTSD is riled by the claustrophobia that Frankie’s tiny house sets up. Or surprised by a half dozen other happenings in the plot of another of St.James’ masterpieces–surprises that I just erased for fear of dropping too many spoilers! You will be fully invested in the main characters shortly into the story, laughing and crying while your stomach is knotting!
