You know how they say the enemy of your enemy is your friend? Well, I’m still determining if there’s any truth to that statement.I was used by the Feds to report on the dealings of Antonio Herrera – the major Mexican crime lord since his uncle passed, leaving everything to Antonio. I knew everything about Antonio’s business. How, you ask? I was the only woman he kept close, really close – he … he kept close, really close – he claimed he loved me. You get to see and hear a lot of interesting things when you hold that kind of status.
Now, the Feds have me in what they claim is witness protection. However, I never feel safe knowing he’s out there. My family thinks I’m dead. All the while, I keep to myself, avoid most people in my new hometown and train rigorously everyday—waiting for the time when the devil comes calling for his debt to be paid.
***This is the first book in a two book series. This book should be read prior to the second book.

What a read. I could not put this book down once I started.
I don’t want to give any of the story away as it is a must read and best found out as you read, Laurie aka Leia, is in FBI witness protection. But what happens when your past comes back to your new future?
Laurie keeps to herself, doesn’t keep the same schedule everyday, and only has a handful of those she interacts with on a personal level. But she knows one thing for sure, she will never trust a man outside the bedroom.
I am now on to the next one, as that ending had me needing more.
You’re life has to be pretty screwy if you’re in Witness Protection and the FBI can’t keep you safe. But that is what makes good reading and television!
Laurie was used as an informant against a powerful Mexican cartel boss and as always, the Butcher’s Bill comes due and will be paid. The man who is tasked with protecting her is sexy, mysterious, and can’t really say anything about himself which is worst case scenario for the distrustful Laurie. But really, who can blame her?
I actually thought she was a bit too trusting, especially in Aiden and the government’s ability to keep her from harm. Maybe that’s because I’ve seen too many movies but I’m a worst case scenario kind of woman and money talks as it always does.
The plot twist about gave me whiplash and the cliffhanger……. THE DREADED CLIFFHANGERS!!!!
But seriously this book is fantastic and I didn’t wait more than about three minutes to calm myself before I jumped into the second book.
Killmore by Martha Sweeney is the first book in her new series, Killmore. Categorized as a romantic suspense book I fell hard for this book and couldn’t bring myself to put it down until the very end. Getting to see a strong female lead character who also happens to be beautiful and complex really made this a great read. Antonio Herrera is sarcastic, snarky, realistic, ruthless, and best of all protected by the Feds. The Feds are more than willing to look the other way about her dealings with drugs and human trafficking as long as she is willing to play ball with them. But Antonio has always had a hard time trusting those around her when it comes to her business dealings. While the Feds offer sounds good, is it too good to be true? Will she be able to keep those around her safe? How much danger is Antonio in with the Feds? Sweeney is a new to me author, but I am so happy that I picked this story up. The banter between the characters, will leave you smiling and fall out laughing at their antics. The steam in this book will curl your toes and blush your cheeks as well. I highly recommend this book to everyone looking for a great story. I can’t wait to see where Sweeney takes her readers in the future with this series.

Four Stars
This is a story for the books. Have you ever had to fight for your life? To know that every second could be your last? Leia knows too much and is being pulled from both sides. One side wants to use her the other wants her dead. The story was intense and thrilling. I was sitting up straight waiting for what was to come. The suspense was killer. To live in fear but to also have e strength to say that you will fight for your life. There was so much sadness and heartbreak. But also courage and bravado. The author developed the characters well.

Holy cow!!! As soon as I started reading this book I was hooked. This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m thinking why did I not know about this amazing writer before!!! This book is action packed, and will take you on an emotional rollercoaster coaster ride full of twists and turns. I loved both Laurie and Aiden’s characters. This book has everything you could ever want in a great romantic suspense novel. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to read book two. There is so much more I want to say but I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say this is a MUST read!
Killmore by Martha Sweeney. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I flipping loved it! I can’t wait to read the next one! Its the story of Laurie whose husband works for a Major Mexican Crime Lord and is very abusive to Laurie until she becomes Antonio Herrera’s ( Crime Lord) girl! He forbids her husband to touch Laurie and she pleases Antonio in any way that she can. There is also the problem of Laurie being used by the Feds helping them to take down Antonio. Laurie ends up going into the Witness Protection program and moves off to a small town to run a small restaurant. She stays pretty closed off only letting very few people in until Aiden moves to town. There are immediate sparks between them but she’s scared to trust anyone. She still lives in fear of Antonio finding her. Will she let go and trust Aiden or will she play it safe and stay to herself. This book was so good and I can’t wait to read the next one!
Killmore by Martha Sweeney is an action packed ride and keeps you intrigued right to the very last page. I enjoy Martha’s storytelling and how she effortlessly lets the words flow keeping you engrossed to know more. The depth of the characters and their world make the story that more believable. The sexual tension between the main characters is prevalent right from their first meeting. Laurie is a feisty and determined woman, she has had to learn to be and letting anyone in to her life is not on the cards. I absolutely loved their banter and craziness as Aidan tries to make her his. The twists and turns sometimes made my head spin but in a good way and I know there is so much more to come to this story. I can not wait for the next installment, The Killmores, I know the journey will be great.
Killmore (Killmore #1) by Martha Sweeney is a action pack thriller which will have you wishing there was more.

Leia is a woman who is on the inside and is working with the FBI to take down the gang, she has been promised that if she succeeds she will be placed into witness protection and she can get away from her abusive husband.
Once they have been taken down Leia is kill and Laurie is born, she becomes a successful business woman but there is always the images hidden at the back of her head and which haunt her dreams at night, until one day Adien walks into her life and things change.
I loved the interaction between these two characters and the chemistry was brilliant. The fast pace of the story keeps you on your toes and with the twists and turns you will be on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait to continue the story with The Killmores book #2.
Killmore is all that and them some in the realm of suspenseful, action, and romance category. Martha Sweeney puts out that lure and once you bite and swallow that lure you are hooked and you will be fighting throughout the book until the end. But wait there is more, book two that you will want to read to get to the conclusion of the story. That is all the information you will get for book two. Now back to book one, this story is about Laurie and Aiden. Laurie has been put into witness protection. She has walls built up and is not ready to put them down as of yet. Aiden is on the FBI team that wants Laurie’s assistance as she is an asset to that case. Will Laurie assist Aiden in the case? Will Aiden get Laurie to break some of the walls and see some of the positive side of Aiden? Only time will tell.
This romantic suspense had me on the edge of my seat for most of the story. Just couldn’t put it down. Martha Sweeney does an amazing job setting the stage and developing these characters. A fantastic story from first page to last, I am so thankful that the story will continue. I cannot wait to read this story again and read the next book in the series. So good!
My heart was racing within the first few chapters and I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough .
I loved Laurie , she is such a STRONG Female Character, even after everything she’s been through ,she’s scared and doesn’t trust easily. She knows not to look to anyone else to keep her safe ….the last thing she needs is a man…. a man undercover , who cant give away much information and she doesn’t trust.
But is he the one she should be watchful of or the demons from her past moving in on the sidelines?
The way the Author keeps you in limbo, so you never really know what’s going to happen next ,because of all the twists she throws at you is amazing.
I enjoyed reading the fact that Laurie still held all the cards in a slow building relationship with Aiden. The Snarky comments that were thrown back and forth between them were funny and sometimes bittersweet ,but I loved the way they always kept each other wanting .. although never really giving to much of themselves away….you felt their Love building , but would that be enough to keep them safe ?.
If you love Action- packed, suspenseful romance that will end in a Cliffhanger and leave you Breathlessly wanting more …then you’ve found the right book.
