Life as a Tier One Navy SEAL was all Asher Thompson had ever wanted. Missions and the camaraderie of the brothers he commanded were his life. He had it all until he realised he didn’t. One encounter with a sexy, snarky woman who had hated him on sight, and he was hooked. He wanted to know her, to control her pleasure, to consume her until all she felt and knew was him.
Marisol had the perfect … had the perfect life growing up in beautiful South Africa as an only child with parents who adored her, until she met the boy who would change it all. Love turned to betrayal before a final, devastating heartbreak. Putting her old life behind her, Marisol became Mustique—the cold assassin who had an affinity for knives and whose mission was to rid the world of evil men and protect those with no voice.
But the secret she had hidden and protected for years is under threat, and now she must use every one of her skills to keep it safe. Her only option is to seek Asher Thompson’s help. Ash, the sexy Navy SEAL who has consumed her dreams with his sexy voice and his commanding presence and the one man who has the power to break down the walls that are keeping her heart safe.
Time is running out, and with Ash and the men of Trident Security by her side, Mustique will risk it all in a deadly showdown with her past.
Will she be able to keep her secret or will her world be changed forever?
Keeping Her Secrets is part of Samantha A. Cole’s Suspenseful Seduction World.

This my first book by Maddie Wade but after reading Keeping Her Secrets, it won’t be my last. I was worried that since I had never read any of the Fortis Security books that I would be at a disadvantage in following the story but that was the furthest from the truth. The only problem is now I can’t wait to read other books in that series. Now back to Keeping Her Secrets! I wasn’t sure I would be able to “get into” a story of Marisol who was part of an all female assassin squad but I loved this character. Once we learned why she was trying to kill her next “mark” I was definitely hooked! Enter Asher Thompson who had met Marisol previously so it seemed obvious that when she now needed some assistance that she would enlist his help. This is a twisted, action packed love story that will have you hooked immediately. When we also get to see some of our favorite characters from Trident Security Series who also get to help Marisol and Asher when a secret from her past is threatened.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.

Another incredible book by Maddie Wade, this time as an installment into the Suspenseful Seduction World, a series created by an outstanding group of authors writing in the Samantha A. Cole’s series world, The Trident Security series and/or The Doms of The Covenant.
The story begins with Asher Thompson, an American Navy SEAL, and Daniel Thompson, a British EX-SAS and second-in-command at Fortis Security, at a bachelor party for a fellow Navy brother. While at the event, Asher stumbled upon an old flame and very intoxicated Mustique, a member of Roz’s all female assassin league from Zenobi. Uniting together after a chance encounter, Asher and Mustique, along with coworkers Jack, Nick, and Ian, embark on a high-risk unofficial mission to protect the daughter of a prominent US Senator. Excellent storyline that is filled with wonderful characters, badass action, and magnificent plot twists. Overall, an amazing addition in the Suspenseful Seduction World.
I’m not very familiar with the Trident series, but I am familiar with Ash and Mystique from previous Fortis and Eidolon books. I enjoyed reading their story. When I first met Ash in a previous Fortis book, I’d hoped to see him again with a story of his on.
Like most of the Zenobi girls, Mystique has a troubled past that leads her to become the assassin that she is now. When her past catches up to her, Ash is there to stand by her and help her.
I loved this story and the characters, Mari has such a tragic past I really felt heart broken for her. Asher proves his love and support without hesitation, just what she needed to feel worthy. Suspense builds nicely throughout to the climax which is breath holding stuff. The mix of characters from Trident and Maddie’s own series work well together and I thoroughly enjoyed getting such a great collaboration of them. I must admit I did suss the main villain but it didn’t spoil the lead up in any way, I found it compelling reading and didn’t want to put it down even though I had too. Fabulous addition to Samantha A Cole’s suspenseful world series, Maddie did a great job with borrowing the characters and keeping them true to their personas. Well done.
Asher AKA “Ash” is so attracted to Mustique AKA “Mari” he can barely contain his reaction to her. She seems to feel the same way. So why does she turn him away? Why not take a chance? He wants to be there and help Mari, if he can.
Mari has a lot more to lose with this current mission. She is afraid to ask for help. She does not want to put the few she cares about in danger. It would help if she could resist the charm and sexy man that is Ash. He distracts her.
This was such a fast pace and action filled story. I loved how every chapter had something the keep my interest. Teasing me with some of my favorite characters from other series, I loved getting a glimpse of them throughout the book. With multiple surprises and some serious badass characters, I turned each page eagerly.
***This early copy was provided in return for an honest review only.
Ash Thompson & Mustique are pretty darn hot together. They both can kill somone in an tntold number of ways. Mustique works alone but needs Ash’s help to prevent a crime. Ash calls on Trident for backup and it comes in the form of Jake and Nick. The more they delve into the bad guys, the more Mustique must reveal about her life. Rather than judge her, Ash keeps her secrets while falling head over. Truth be told she’s falling just as fast.
I absolutely loved this book. We now find out who Mustique really is and tissues will be needed. We also get to know the Asher Thompson, the only man to ever get a rise out of her. Crew member from Fortis and Trident are on had for a big wedding and they will needed. This book is action packed, suspense filled, with a few hot Dominant men and some hot steamy scenes. This is another great addition to the Suspenseful Seduction World.
The first book by this author and definitely won’t be the last. What’s not to love about a sexy seal and a highly trained heroine in need of specialized assistance. Appearances from Ian Sawyer, Nick Sawyer, and Jake make this crossover novel highly entertaining as well as being filled with intrigue and plot twists you just don’t see coming. A great read and addition to the Suspenseful Seduction series
Let me start by saying that I’ve not read any of the Fortis Security books but after reading this book, I’ll be adding them to my list of must reads. This is a wonderful addition to the Suspenseful Seduction World. I loved the way that Ms. Wade included members of Trident Security in her story. Especially Ian, Jake and Nick. I have to admit that Jake and Nick are two of my favorite characters and Ms. Wade kept them right in character and I enjoyed it. Asher and Marisol had me hooked from the very first chapter. Some parts were very emotional and when danger comes calling you have to wonder if the secret Marisol has been keeping will stay a secret. Danger, mystery and intrigue are key elements and it gets the reader engaged in the story! I really enjoyed this.
Loved this addition to the Suspenseful Seduction World!
After a little wait Maddie is back with a gorgeous, peak at 2 characters, 1 we know, Mustique, a silent Assassin from the Zenobi team, known from her own Fortis series and 1 we don’t , well not from Maddie, in the Navy SEAL form of Asher Thompson.
So how do these to meet? Cleverly woven into the fabric of two worlds that’s how!
In this cross over worlds book, crossing into Samantha A Coles family of Trident/Covenant, Maddie has easily worked the Fortis series Daniel (personal favourite ) to be a cousin of the delectable Ash. A wedding, a failed assassination and some heartbreaking secrets turn this quick read into a fabulous, page turning, link which makes you want to get to know both authors and their worlds.
I’ve not read anything by Samantha A Cole but I’ve already 1 clicked a couple to start the ball rolling. And if your new to Maddie Wade your gonna love the Fortis boys .
Would I recommend this book? Yes!
Can you read it on its own? Yes, just be aware that there’s a hell of a back story to both these 2 worlds and lots of characters to get your head into but to be fair both Ash and Mustique can hold their own and it will only add to your enjoyment of the other worlds.
Thank you Maddie again for your great storytelling and I’m privileged to be allowed a sneak peek up front.
Waiting for Drew now #fortisboys
Keeping Her Secrets was an awesome blend of two worlds. You get the Trident world from Samantha Cole mixed with the Fortis world from Maddie Wade. This plot will keep you on the edge of your seat. The characters are all awesome. You get sexy, sweet, and suspenseful. I could not put the book down. I can’t wait to read more from both of these wonderful authors!
Holy smokes this book was absolutely fantastic and let me tell you it will suck you in until the end of it.

Marisol is a female assassin with the British group zenobi, but when she gets Intel on a kidnapping of senators daughters can she stop it in time?she has been thinking about the kiss that consumes her soul and when she sees Asher again can they be together or will her secrets destroy them? We get to see my favorite couple Jake and Nick in the book along with Ian Sawyer . This book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and shed a few tears .I absolutely loved it.
