Can’t think of anything else you need in a book, heart racing fear, sadness, anger, confusion, murder and mayhem and finally figuring out that things weren’t exactly what you thought they were. Love makes you want to save the one you love and this book will bring you to your knees. Loved it!!!

An amazing story. You get pulled into this story right from the beginning and it keep you entertained throughout. Though at first when Matt sees Katherine he can help but be hard and bitter from a shared past. They soon realize that they still have strong feelings for each other. When they finally get to sorting them Katherine gets kidnapped. Now it will take Matt’s Alpha and Bravo teammates and so Delta’s to rescue Katherine from certain death.
There’s a lot going on in this book. Lost love for the wrong reasons. A spiteful father who resorts to blackmailing his own daughter to leave the love of her life behind, which about destroyed him. He went into the Navy and the Brotherhood was his family but he never forgot about her and what she did to him. There is a lot of danger, lies, misconceptions, kidnapping and finally a HEA.
Oh wow! Gosh I felt for this couple, Katherines father was so selfish and self centred on what he wanted for her and so very wrong it nearly ruined lives. This story is heart breaking at times but you feel the strong deep love that these two have for each other even when angry or trying to hate, it just eminates off the pages. It’s gritty, suspenseful and gripping. I loved the characters, or the good ones anyway lol. The crossover works really well with the other team and both blend together like they’ve served together for years. I need the next book now coz I’m impatient to know what’s going on. Fantastic story interesting plot and hot vulnerable guys what more could you possibly want in a book to lose yourself in and just soak it all up.
A great story. Well written, grabs you from the start. Mystery, action and great characters. Would definitely recommend reading this book

Ms. Blakely takes us on a ride full of action, betrayal, murder, and bravery. Kat and Matt had a history and they come together after 10 years due to an event that has made Kat a target. Bravo RISC Team is a group of highly trained men who are close like brothers and are able to anticipate each other’s needs and work together as a fighting unit. Ms. Blakely writes realistic characters and stories that will have you enthralled and anticipating her next book. I received this as an ARC.
Matt & Katherine
This is the second book in Anna Blakely’s Bravo R.I.S.C. Team series which is a spin-off from her R.I.S.C Series. It also features Susan Stoker’s Delta Force Heroes characters. Which packs a whole lot of sexy, alpha, military men in the pages of this book!
Ten years ago Matt and Kat were in love with each other, to protect Matt, Kat had to break both of their hearts. Now, someone is trying to kill Katherine and Matt is on the team assigned to protect her. Behind the pain their love survives, but can he save her life?
This book has lots of action, suspense, humor, and steam.
Great addition to Bravo RISC ! Action packed, suspenseful, second chance at love, everything you want in a good read. Strong characters with honest emotion and a story that draws you in from the first page. Highly recommend !

So, this had me on pins and needles constantly! Not just from all of the action, but from the angst of Kat and Matt’s relationship. So good! HEA. Lots of moving pieces, told so well, I felt like I could so easily see it in real life.
I have been reading the R.I.S.C series since the beginning and I have really been enjoying it branching into the Special Forces Operation Alpha world. Rescuing Katherine was another great addition to the ever growing series! Matt Turner is one of our Bravo team members that has been holding a decade of hurt inside over the young girl that he fell in love with when he was in the Navy. He had hoped to marry her even though they were young and he was just beginning his career. Katherine Marsh loved Matt with all of her seventeen year old heart but broke up with him without giving him a concrete reason and ever since then Matt has erected a barbed wire fence around his heart. Now it is a decade later and he never thought that he would see Katherine again but she is in danger and has come to RISC for protection not knowing that Matt was working for them. Now not only do these two need to navigate the danger surrounding Katherine but they have to learn to work with and trust each other. Matt is a tough nut to crack but Katherine is truly amazing and hopefully he will let his heart open to love once again. I will not give away any spoilers but I will say that this is a bumpy ride for the two of them. It is written from dual POV and is loaded with angst, action and heat! It is a wild emotional ride that I highly recommend!
Matt had his heart shattered when he was young and it shaped the man he is. He was closed off and shut down from women except for a night. A night he could give. Katherine was raised by a dad who wanted the best in life for her but went about it all the wrong ways. She loved Matr her whole life but dad got in the way of that….. She hasn’t had an easy life either and to make things worse now someone wants her dead. She goes to R.I.S.C for help unknowing her Matt is an operative there. He fights the chemistry that is still lingering between the two of them and tries to get her to walk away. Once he sees reason and decides to help he still fights the chemistry till he just cant anymore. Once these two finally tell each other everything and Katherine decides to quit hiding her secrets they have a realnchamce till the killer strikes and she is kidnapped. Now Matt and his team along with a little help from Ghost and his team they on a time clock to rescue Katherine….. Anna did it again with her twisted self and the emotional rollercoaster she puts you on.
Another amazing story by Ms. Blakely.
She does a wonderful job of showing us the sense of brotherhood and family between military teams both during their service and when they continue to work together afterwards.
She writes amazing alpha males who are tough when they need to be and will do whatever it takes to protect that one woman who was meant just for them.
She writes some pretty amazing heroines as well. I love that she portrays them as strong, smart women who aren’t just cowering in a corner waiting for their man to save them. They are doing everything in their power to save themselves as well.
Looking forward to more from Bravo Team!
Rescuing Katherine contains a gripping plot with an underlying and engaging story running through several R.I.S.C. series’ books and this one. I am hopeful this underlying story will be forthcoming in future R.I.S.C. books. There are characters you can relate to and come to care about. The story centers on R.I.S.C. Bravo team member Matthew Turner and Dr. Katherine (Kat) Marsh. Matt and Kat have a personal history from ten years before. Each is living with heartbreak and for Matt, also bitterness. Kat needs protection due to sabotage and a possible death threat relating to her classified work for the government and military. Matt becomes her bodyguard while the other team members acquire and check out information and clues as to Kat’s situation. The story has unpredictability, strong characters and a roller coaster of a ride for those in the book as well as those reading it. My emotions joined those of the cast of characters due to the fact that the story was written so well, that I felt as if I was a part of it. I started reading this book and could not put it down until I was at the end. I highly recommend reading this book along with all the other R.I.S.C. Alpha and Bravo series books. I was given an ARC by the author in return for my honest review and now you have it.
Matt is bitter, on the day that he was proposing his girlfriend dumped him. This event has shaped how he treats women for the past 10 years, he’s got a reputation. As Matt works for R.I.S.C. he’s called in to protect a Dr. who’s creating a secret military chemical agent. That doctor turns out to be the woman who dumped him 10 years ago. Let’s just say the sparks start to fly. I absolutely loved the conversations in Matt’s head or his thoughts in his head, especially “his nutsack twisted the most was his conflicting emotions when it came to Kat”. There are twists and turns as a reader that you can follow and be on the edge of your seat when you read this story. It’s a definite page turner and an exceptional next chapter for this series and spinoff series. I absolutely love Ms. Blakely’s work.
I received this advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book has all the feelings!!!
This book was amazing. It was written in such a way that you felt what both Matt and Kat were feeling. You cold feel the hurt and love they both had for each other. You understood when Matt lashed out in anger towards Kate and it just made you want to hug him more.
What I loved about this book was how wonderfully written this second chance romance was. You were along for the ride as each of them were going through the stages. I loved that they didn’t immediately fall into bed with each other. They needed to resolve some issues first. Even when they were fighting, you could feel that the passion was still there.
I really liked the character of Matt in this book. However, the person I need to point out the most is Kat. This woman sacrifices herself over and over again to try and make others happy. She is one strong woman!! I also loved that she was written not only as a strong woman but also a smart woman. She was doing something she loved and helping people in the process.
Anna Blakely keeps getting better and better with each book she puts out! Rescuing Katherine is a book full of sorrow, suspense, second chances and romance.
