New from USA Today bestselling author Linzi Baxter, the first book in her exciting new romantic suspense series, Nova Satellite Security, a spinoff of her popular White Hat Security series. —–Lily didn’t take much with her when she fled an abusive marriage. Just her young son and a load emotional baggage no one can see. Thanks to her friend Kat, she’s got a new job in a new town, a new life … new life spread out before her.
The last thing she needs is her long-dormant hormones noticing that her boss is a 12 out of 10 on the hotness scale.
Freedom is just a signature away, but Jacob’s ex is holding the unsigned divorce papers over his head like a prize just out of reach. His irritation eases when he meets his new secretary, and he finds it’s no hardship to follow his friend Kat’s advice (or not-so-subtle threat) to treat Lily gently.
Under Jacob’s care and consideration, Lily begins to believe in love again. But when her past tries to claw her back into a nightmare, she has no choice but to protect Jacob at all costs—even if it shatters her heart.

Loved this one! This book features Jacob, one of the Black brothers and co owner of Nova Satellite Security, and Lily, who was rescued by alligator lover Kat from the White Hat series. I quickly fell for Jacob and was cheering him on as he fought for Lily. There is action, suspense, two nasty exes, a cute kid, 2 feisty bffs, 2 amusing brothers and some steamy scenes.
4 stars for Pursuing Phoenix by Linzi Baxter. This is book one in the Nova Satellite Security series, Lily and her son have fled her abusive marriage and are now being protected by Jacob. Lily and Jacob are drawn to each other. Unfortunately Jacob has a psycho ex also. I was captivated from start to finish. I love these two together. They are on an emotional but heartfelt rollercoaster. It was an intense read and I enjoyed every minute of it.
OMG!!! You have to read this
I really enjoyed this great book and a great start to a new series. Jacob and Lily are so good together and I just really loved the whole story so much. Love this authors writing a lot
I love romantic suspense and I had everything I love right in the pages of this book. A man who knows what it’s like to have to fight for what you want and do things you wouldn’t ordinarily do. Lily has had to look over her shoulder for a while to protect herself and her son. Jared, Jacob and Jax have had plenty of hard times and helping abused women and children is part of who they are. I love how Lily was able to break down Jared’s walls without even trying. Even as the resident grouch, he is very caring. Jacob has it bad for Lily and getting to know her while she works for him entices him more. They are perfect together. He really should have told her about his ex, though. I loved all of the excitement and only once did I disagree with how Lily responded to a situation. This is a wonderful beginning to this series and I want more. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Pursuing Phoenix: Nova Satellite Security by Linzi Baxter is a heartwarming contemporary romance. In this book, Lily is on the run trying to get away from her abusive husband. She has a friend, Kat who works with a women’s shelter and sent her across the country to work for the Nova Satellite Security company where she will be protected. While working there she meets the Black brothers and discovers that not all men are like her ex-husband. Even though this is a realistic story that addresses the very real world problem of domestic violence it is written in a very up beat manner and shows that an abused woman can survive and get away from her abuser with help. I especially loved the strength of the character lily and how she chose to change her situation. This is a wonderfully written book that any romance reader will love. Pursuing Phoenix: Nova Satellite Security is a heartwarming romance.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

This is a stellar spin off from the wonderful White Hat Security series by this very talented author I have always loved that series and have a feeling I am going to love this series just as much
This is Lilly Minix’s story we met her back in Hacker revelation Kat and Antonio’s story where Kat befriended her at the women’s refuge where she teaches self defence.

Is the danger circling them Greg or does Rachelle have something to do with it You will have to read to see. I am hoping that the next two books will be Jarad and Jax Jacob’s brothers
This is book one in the Nova Satellite Security Series and I found it to be an excellent storyline with abuse, attempted murder and kidnappings, insane people, lots of action, and many hot scenes. Lily not only had a horrible childhood and marriage, she now had an ex and Jacob’s ex attempting to kill her. But like a Phoenix, she continues to rise above it all. Good character depiction and a really great read!

Rising From the Ashes . . .
Kat Ross, the volunteer from the Women’s Shelter in Ft. Lauderdale who had just relocated Lily Minix and got her a new job, called her before she had even fully unpacked with the devastating news – “He’s out!” She must be wrong, there are lots of prisoners named Greg, so her ex-husband might not be the one set free to come after her! Lily and her son, Tommy, had just moved to Texas. Now she may need to move again. Kat told her to stay there and Abe, an ex-Army Ranger bodyguard, would protect them and watch Tommy rather than send him to daycare. In the meantime, Kat and Antonio were checking on why Greg was released – something about contaminated evidence being thrown out and the charges dropped.
Kat had met Lily at the shelter, helping her study for her GED, teaching her to use a computer, etc. When Kat hugged Lily and felt her flinch from the pain of a beating from Greg, their relationship changed. Kat confided that she was a retired assassin for the CIA and could promise Lily and Tommy she could keep them safe. Kat got her a job working for Jacob Black at Nova Satellite Security and they would be paying her in cash. The building she lived in was also owned by the Black family and they kept her name off all the paperwork. There should be no way for Greg to find her.
As for Jacob, he and his brothers own a top end security and development business. He had temporarily married Rachele in name only so she could get her trust fund and he could get a start-up loan for the business he and his brothers started. Now he is ready to divorce her since their arrangement is over, but she is not cooperating and won’t sign the divorce papers. Having gone through her own money, she now needs Jacob’s money to allow her to live the same fancy lifestyle she had gotten accustomed to. When Lily has to deal with kidnap attempts and attacks coming at her, they first think her ex-husband is causing the problems – but it looks like he may not be the one after all! Who would be doing this? And why?
4.5***** stars. Lily is on the run from her abusive ex with her young son Tommy. Kat from the women’s shelter, relocates her and Tommy and gets her a job working with a friend of hers in security. Jacob is one of three brothers than run a top end security and development business. He had married Rachele in name only so she could claim her inheritance and he could get a loan to start their business. He is in the process of trying to divorce her and she is not cooperating. She has used up her inheritance and she needs Jacob and his money to support her in the style she had became accustomed. Then they find out Lily’s ex is out of jail and evidence has been tainted or missing. Poor Lily is being harassed, kidnapped and assaulted thinking that her ex is after her even though he is being followed and hasn’t come after her. So, what’s going on? Lots of action and interesting read!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
Yet another genius, suspense filled series from the great Linzi Baxter! This gem is a spin off from the exciting White Hat series. We see appearances from both Kat and her beloved Antonio in this. Lily and Tommy are a mother and son that Kat befriended at the women’s shelter. Running from an extremely abusive ex husband, Kat made preparations for them to be safe at a friend’s company. Jacob and his two brothers run a billion dollar company and have no problem helping Lily out. Of course it wouldn’t be a Linzi Baxter book of everything either out right away. Numerous kidnapping attempts and attacks, yet thanks to an intriguing cast of characters and people from both Lily and Jacob’s pasts nobody is quite sure who is behind it all. Can Lily trust her son and herself with how her heart feels? Can they find who is behind all this mayhem? Can she and her little boy finally feel safe? There are lots of ups and downs as well as sweet moments all throughout. I for one am hoping the next few books are about Jacob’s brothers . I can’t wait to see what happens next. No matter what, I’ve no doubt it will entail a strong female with a huge heart!
5 stars
I received a free copy of the full length novel Pursuing Phoenix: Nova Satellite Security, Book 1 by Linzi Baxter and this review was given freely. A good introduction to the series and the Black brother. Suspenseful with multiple romances, wonderful character and danger around every corner but ends happily. This is the story of two strong people surviving physically and emotionally abusive relationships to find love, hope and healing in each other. Emotional with some violence this is a crossover novel featuring the Ross’s and Neal from White hat Security in Florida. Former assassin Kat, her husband Antonio Ross and bodyguard Abe assist recently relocated single mother Lily and her son Tommy after her abusive ex Greg gets out of prison. However just as Lily starts to feel safe in Texas, she finds herself fighting more than her attraction to her soon to be divorced boss Jacob Black at Nova Satellite Security.
