Wow! Elise has done it again with Nickel! She tells Logan’s and Sloane’s story using humor and intrigue. Logan, a Blackwood operative, and Sloane, Emmy and Blacks’s top notch administrative assistant, are interested in each other, but resistant to express their feelings for each other.
Logan’s attempts to retrieve Sloane’s personal property from her ex, the mother who loves the ex, the ever present office romance pool, or discovering why there are men after Sloane are guaranteed to provide reading enjoyment.
Nickel is a brilliant addition to the Blackwood Elements series. It features two characters that will be very familiar to all Blackwood fans. Sloane is not quite as you expect, she is curvy and insecure yet super efficient and works closely with Emmy. Her personal life is just her and her fabulous cat Nickel. Logan, a highly skilled member of the Blackwood team, is sexy, handsome and fit and he likes Sloane. Unexpected events will have an impact on both their lives. This is romantic suspense at its best. The addition of other popular characters and the unique humour that is synonymous with Elise Noble books just makes this book even better. I absolutely loved this book and cannot recommend it highly enough.
Loved the story, and the presence of Emmy and company! Another terrific read!!!
Just like the books before Nickel Elise Noble does not disappoint. This was a fun, sweet, great read! Every book has its own unique story and this one was just as intriguing and kept me wondering what was going to happen. Loved Sloane and Logan and mostly Nickel. Who doesn’t love a good kitty in the story. As always I recommend this Elise Noble book and the whole series. Blackwood is my favorite group of characters out there. Enjoy!
I have read every book by Elise Noble and love them all – and this one is a little bit different. She continues to be able to add some fresh ideas to her stories. This time, the people in question have known each other for a long time. Sloane is a great mix of professional efficiency and personal messiness – makes for a really endearing character. I also love that she is a curvy girl. Logan is sweet and hot – like all the Blackwood men. Part of what makes the story entertaining is the issues that befall the antagonists in the story – whether they are truly bad or just completely unsuitable for Sloane. It is fun to imagine Sloane and Logan dancing around their feelings at the office.
The story also weaves in appearances by many of the other Blackwood characters, which is always fun for those of us who have come to know them all well.
On a more personal note – this new book arrived at a great time where being stuck isolated at home, nothing is more comforting than a book that makes you laugh, sigh, and blush!
I adore reading this authors books. You always know that you’re going to get an intelligent and well written book. This book is set within the headquarters of Blackwood and it’s surrounding area, so we catch up with loads of our favourite characters Logan and Sloane were a joy to read about. Sloane broke my heart at times and I Loved how Logan gave her back her self esteem. The plot as always is unique and suspenseful with lots of drama and intrigue. I must admit I didn’t see it coming at all! I love books where I can’t predict the outcome until the end! This is one of my all time favourite series. I cannot wait for the next book.
Nickel: A Romantic Suspense Novel (Blackwood Elements Book 9) by Elise Noble
My thoughts:
I am a fan of Elise Noble’s writing style and enjoy the way her stories unfold. I was completely engaged from the first chapter till the very end.
I ended up reading well into the early morning; just had to find out how it all came together. This is Logan and Sloane’s story with great twists and unexpected turns to their Happy Ever After. Another great read. 4 stars.
This is a stand alone book, but part of the Blackwood Elements series so various characters from other books make an appearance. If you have not read any of Elise Noble’s books, I suggest you start with The Black Trilogy: Blackwood Security Books 1 – 3 (Blackwood Security Box Set).
Disclaimer “I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book”
This installment of the Blackwood world wasn’t quite what I anticipated, but was still an excellent book. I should have learned by now to expect anything from Elise Noble’s books because she is one author I can never predict.
If you have read other Blackwood books you have met both Sloane and Logan before. Their story is a lot sweeter than Elise’s normal story, but that doesn’t take away from it at all.
The Blackwood US team we have grown to know and love make appearances so you still get to catch up with old friends.
