Former Navy SEAL Nixon Swagger is home. After twelve years of service and twice as many deployments, all Nix wanted was quiet. He’d sought the solace of the land he’d grown up on and found the peace he needed to silence the noise and figure out his next move. Nixon’s stay was supposed to be temporary. He wasn’t supposed to meet a feisty, head-strong woman who made his pulse race and set his body … body on fire. Falling in love hadn’t been part of his plan. Taking a government contract to stop a homegrown terrorist group hadn’t been either, but when the organization threatens to attack Philadelphia, he had no choice but to accept.McKenna Wilson was living. Every day was the same. Raising her two teenage siblings didn’t leave time for much else. Most days, she was okay with that. Then she bumped into the sexy war hero and, in an instant, her world changed. She had no idea falling for Nixon would be so dangerous. Now she was going head-to-head with the small-town’s dirty sheriff who was hell-bent on ruining Nixon and avenging a fifteen-year-old grudge. She’d lost her heart, but losing her life wasn’t part of the plan.Nixon Swagger had learned a few things as a Navy SEAL—adapt, improvise, and overcome were among the many. In the middle of an inferno, so ominous even Dante wouldn’t buy a ticket, Nixon must adapt to his new surroundings and overcome multiple threats before he loses the woman he loves.

Loved the characters ! Plan to read next four immediately !
I liked the plot of this book and I also liked the main characters. The story line was complicated and interesting. But I was really distracted by the language, which constantly used our more common swearwords unnecessarily as nouns, verbs, adjectives as well as interjections, and used them to mean both positive and negative things.
This book was ok
Very very likable characters. Rea!my enjoyed this book!
This book was a surprise to me. It is a really cute, romantic book. Couldn’t put it down until I finished it. I loved how those two worked through all their issues and were able to create a family dynamic. I LOVED his teammates and can’t wait to read each one’s story. Due to liking this book, I downloaded the next one in the series.
The language was overdone. But I did finish the book. Just wont read more of the series.
Loved it. Once you start reading you don’t want to put it down.
Almost didn’t finish it. The language and sex in the beginning was way overboard. After rereading the book description I decided to continue. Ok plot. Won’t be reading any more of the series.
Great characters and a wonderful story! I very enjoyable read!!!
I loved this start to the Gemini Series
I’ve become a huge fan of this author!
Loved the story. Alpha former Teams guy who isn’t a total dick and controlling. Just lives to protect those he loves and considers family. Nixon and McKenna are neighbors and instantly were attracted to one another. But there is baggage like always. She is caring for her younger teen siblings after their parents died. And Nixon has the county sheriff and deputy son on his ass after years of hostility for always stepping in to protect the females, the now deputy went after not listening to the fact that no means and no. After foiling a terrorist plot the newly formed Gemini group has to find Micky after being taken. Loved the group and the family. All really developed characters. Can’t wait for next book.
The first thing I want to say about this book is, I want more of this series. There is a lot of action, plenty of story-line and HEA in the end. The language is on the harsh side; the sensual scenes are well written, and, the former SEALS give plenty of intensity. Nixon entered his former small hometown and immediately found a gal fighting a huge bag of dog food. Of course, he jumped in to help load it in her old truck and the rest is history. With McKenna came her two siblings Zack and Mandy, two teenager with angst, grief and attitude. This is a wonderful story which will make you smile and then feel tears amid-st the fight to save lives. Thanks for a book with plenty of story along with action.
I could have done without all the “four letter” words and a little crude for my taste but loved the story. Will read the next one I this series for sure to find out what happens to Jameson
Looking forward to the next in the series. Worth the read !
Ahhh, another love-at-first-sight story. “Nixons’ Promise” (nook) captured my attention from the first page. I was intrigued by the computer expertise shown by Ms. Edwards in unfolding the story. I also appreciate the “nod” to our military men and women.
Loved this book! It made me cry and smile. Thank you for writing it.
Very interesting romance suspense
McKenna is raising her siblings all by herself and moves into a small town for that.
Nixon is a decorated war hero and he is looking to forget his past as is renovating his father’s farm in the small town.
The MC’s meet each other and a some days later they both realize that what they feel for each other is deeper and could be developed into something life-lasting. That is when Nixon is called back to another work by the government.
Lovely romance. Nixon’s tough image and the way he helps McKenna and her siblings handle their issues was beautiful to watch. The suspense element in the story starting from the past and connecting to the present was also very well brought out. Liked the story.
This was a very good book. The characters are awesome and were very well written. I can’t wait for Jameson’s story. Thank you for writing the books for us to enjoy. Please read and review.
When a friend stumbled on this author and told me this look like a genre that I would like, she was not wrong.
Ms. Edwards, book one and it’s “Hook. Line. Sinker.”
I’m not going to summarize the story, that’s what the blurb is for. What I’m going to say is that from start to finish I was intrigued with Nixon Swagger and McKenna Wilson. I loved how they had an attraction that although was instant, it grew. The chemistry was definitely sexy.
NOW.. when I read military romance there are particular traits I look for that makes me invest in a story (series):
*Alpha
*Strong Team
*Protective
Gemini Group check all my boxes. Especially after meeting the rest of the team. I already know I’m going to have binge them because I’m truly hooked.
If you love military romance about Alpha Navy SEALS, this series is for you!
