Now, determined to solve the crime and keep Mia safe, with his ARES buddies backing him up, Lucas will have to reconstruct the murder victim’s last days—and follow a lethal trail that leads right back to the fate of the woman he still loves . . .

The ARES men are back.
I’m finding that I enjoying the ex-military heroes who band together, like brothers, to form their own business. It is such a fantastic and enjoyable concept to read.
Kill Without Shame is full of mystery, suspense, a second chance romance, and so much more. It was a non-stop page turner, entertaining, and satisfying. I enjoyed the mystery surrounding the murder and Mia. All the characters where easy to like. The second chance love story was captivating and adorable. Lucas and Mia worked together and made a great couple. And, last it was nice to see more of the other guys Lucas works with. They each have their own unique abilities and backgrounds and to see how they stand up for one of their own, it’s touching.
I had a delightful time read Kill Without Shame. I LOVE the men of ARES Security and can’t wait for the next installment.
Rated: 4 Stars
I was lucky enough to get this on Net Galley early. Once again Ms. Ivy has written a entertaining and fast paced romantic suspense revolving around friends who escaped from a Taliban prison. This is book 2.
I love this series! The men of ARES Security are all hunky in their own way and the suspense and romance are very well balanced. A mystery to solve and steamy sex make this romantic suspense lover a very happy girl!
Fun action, and I liked the mystery behind the murder. Plus, the second chance romance is sweet and steamy. Not a fan that it’s been so long; about 15 years, since Lucas and Mia were together. Also, that Lucas gave up on her to begin with. The idea of Lucas setting out to find and protect Mia because he finds out there’s a threat against her, is cool! I would’ve liked a bit more groveling from him, but they are sweet together. Enjoyed the security team idea too, and I look forward to reading the other team member’s books. I liked both Mia and Lucas; Mia is sassy and I liked Lucas’ protective nature. Entertaining read!
WOW! Alexandra Ivy turned up the suspense AND the heat in this latest installment to the ARES Security series!
Second chance romances are my favorite reading trope and Lucas and Mia did not disappoint! Lucas broke Mia’s heart but he’s never forgotten her and the love they shared. When Lucas finds out Mia is in danger, he drops everything and hightails it back to Louisiana and to the woman that still holds his heart.
Mia is a tough heroine but she finds it hard to keep her walls up with Lucas around. She’s gotta stay strong and keep him at a distance, but Lucas’s fierce protectiveness and candid emotions test Mia’s resolve. Lucas and Mia are brilliant together. Their chemistry just about set my Kindle ablaze. They were a perfect fit!
There’s also a secondary romance storyline that developed and was really sweet! I’m pulling for this couple and I hope that we can see them in future books! And the suspense hook to the story was amazing. I could not put the book down! From start to finish it’s a fast-paced ride full of twists, turns and dark secrets! I had to stop myself several times from jumping to the end to find out who the villain(s) and uncover his/her/their devious plans! Full throttle excitement all the way! I cannot WAIT for the next book!
I highly recommend the ARES Security series!
