An excellent page-turner with lots of action, but I do not like books that leave you hanging with the story line. You need to buy the next book in the series to find out what happens…over and over again with seven books total. 🙁
I actually liked the plot for this book, but I rated it lower because of the tons of errors in grammar, punctuation, word choice and missing words were so annoying. The punctuation was almost random, and the writing was kind of stream of consciousness. Needs a proofreader and editor!

Healing Danger is the first book in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. It is full of action, adventure, thrills, intrigue, drama, suspense, mystery, sizzle, romance, and danger. As this series is well and truly established, it was great to go back and to where it all ‘began’. I have enjoyed this series immensely and can always count on Ms. Wade to deliver ‘the goods’ and keep me entertained right through till the end. It was interesting to look back and see how the series/story, and even Ms. Wade’s style, has evolved along the way.
Lauren and Dane are really great characters and it was easy to get invested in them and the outcome of their story. They are fully developed individuals, with complex personalities and circumstances. Dane is the Team Leader of Fortis who will do everything in his power to protect Lauren from the evil that hunts her.
The author held the tension, suspense and intrigue at an extremely high level throughout the book- as well as keeping me guessing most of the way through- she added twists and surprising development that I didn’t see coming, which ramped the excitement up a few notches.
So, if you haven’t read the Fortis security series yet, what are you waiting for? It’s well worth the read!
Thank you, Ms. Wade!
I really wanted to get into this book but I found it hard to read especially when it jumped around to various character perspectives. I’m bummed because I really wanted to love this book!
Want a tough job? Try providing private security for the ex-girlfriend…
I love romantic suspense novels. You get action, a little bit of romance, and often some hot sex. What’s not to like? I had previously read a crossover novel between this security team and another (the Alliance series), so I knew something about what to expect. But at the same time I was looking forward to seeing how this author did on her own.
I was not disappointed. I found the main plot thread to be well written and engaging, with plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing and turning the page. The characters were also great. Love or hate them as appropriate, they were all well written and felt alive. Add in a bit of a second chance romance and you have one very enjoyable read.
Highly recommended.
A rather unbelievable story that’s difficult to follow.
This is the first book in the Fortis series and it is an action-packed well-written book. I just loved that this book takes place over here it makes a nice change not to have to look things up. This is Lauren and Dane they are great characters and just perfect for one another this was a really good read and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series

This is the first book in this series, it is full of action and romance.
