KENSINGTON
Suffocating,
I’m nearly drowning in this life I’m trapped in.
But when he comes in to watch over me,
Things are definitely looking up.
He’s sexy and rugged as Hell.
Tempting him becomes my favorite hobby.
Something’s holding him back,
Something haunts him, or is it someone?
I’m determined to help him get rid of his pain,
Let go of his demons.
After all, this man’s got me all RILED up.

Riled has been much anticipated by me. He’s made appearances in earlier books, full of mystique and so omniscient, making him even more intriguing.
Well, here he is and he’s even better than my imagination. I didn’t know what to think when I read the prologue, it was tissue time already!
Her Majesty calls on Rile to rescue her Great Niece, Kensington. He does so grudgingly, as he thinks she’s just a spoiled young lady out partying. His feelings change immediately, when he senses she’s in danger. The rescue is successful, and he and Grinder deliver her to her mother’s.
He can’t quite get her out of his head and it doesn’t help when he hears another voice telling him Kensington is in danger yet again. The danger is not going away, so he whisks her to his island.
I don’t want to give anything away, but this journey transcends way beyond a man and woman falling in love. Rile has already loved and lost. Doesn’t want that hurt again so tries to close himself off.
Kensington wants him and truly understands him, almost as if she knows how he feels. She becomes his in every way imaginable, yet Rile thinks he needs to set her free, even if there is still a threat to Kensington lurking about. Damn his nobility lol.
Riled takes you on one hell of an emotional trip from start to finish, no matter the scenario. It is a page turner for sure, and will have you laughing one second or angry the next, along with all the in betweens. Never a dull moment!
Even the HEA may have you sniffling happily, it’s quite the poignant moment.
I would say this is probably the most emotional journey I have read from this author, and I loved every bit.
Riled is part of a series, but can stand on its own quite nicely. I do recommend reading all the Invincibles. More deliciousness of their own, well written and complete journeys.
Intrigue, danger, passion, and love!
Cortez, code-named “Rile”, had given up on love when he lost his wife in an accident. Rile has been solely focused on his job and yet when his second cousin, the Queen, tells him that she thinks her niece, Kensington, has been kidnapped he somehow knows this case will be different. Because he’s always been drawn to Kensington even though she off limits because she is so much younger than him. But maybe ten years isn’t really that much of a barrier when love is involved.
As the fourth book in the Invincibles series, this one really should be read in the order it was written.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, can’t wait to continue the series.
I loved this book from page 1 until its end.
I love it. This author never fails. There is romance, suspense, mystery, action, drama and emotion. It’s a great storyline with plenty of twist and turns. I love the characters, they are captivating and well developed. Once I started reading I could not put it down. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.
Another amazing book by Heather Slade. You will not want to put this book down once you start! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved Cortez and Kensington! He’s cool, calm, in charge. Always leveled headed. And falling for Kensington….there just wasn’t another option. Totally recommend this series!
This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between the characters sizzled throughout this wonderfully hot read!
Well done Heather. I look forward to more!

Riled is an extraordinary romantic suspense by Heather Slade. Ms. Slade has put together a well-written book and filled it with a spectacular array of characters. Cortez and friends created and manage the Invincibles, a collection of ex-government agency operatives. When the Queen of England asks for a favor he can hardly refuse. Kensington has managed to get herself into a bit of trouble and is being choked when Cortez gets to her. Cortez and Kensington’s story is packed with drama, humor, sexy bits, action, a dash of supernatural and suspense. The only thing I didn’t like about this book is that it’s written in first person, alternating point of view…my least favorite format. It worked better in this book than others I’ve read…but still not a fan. I enjoyed reading Riled and look forward to reading more from Heather Slade soon. Riled is book 4 of The Invincibles but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
This book hooked me from the get go I just couldn’t put it down I fell in love with these characters and omg what a story just a perfect

A humorous story that was enjoyable to read and great characters that the author made feel as if they were real. I really enjoyed this book. I love humor in a book and this one was well done.
I found everything I look forward into a book. Cortez is hot and sexy and Kensington is a woman worth fighting for the chemistry between them is undeniable. The flow of the storyline kept me turning the pages.

What a great addition to the “Invincibles” series. This one even has a little twist to it. I cannot wait to read more!!! I was so excited to finally read Rile’s story. it did not disappoint. He and Kensington are great together with undeniable chemistry. He is sent on a mission to rescue her. A mission he is not happy about because he thinks she will just be a spoiled party girl. He and Grinder rescue her and deliver her to her mother. However, he senses the danger is not over for her yet. This book is fast paced, very intrigue and good second chance. The story is nicely developed and the characters strong. I enjoyed every bit of this story from beginning to end. I love the mystery, suspense and twists to this story. What a wonderful setting and story. I love how this one ends!!
Wow! Just Wow! Another great book by Heather Slade. As usual you get great, we’ll developed characters that ring true and a layered story that will keep you twisting and turning. We’ve met Rile before but when he has to “rescue” Kensington he’s in for a surprise. Instead of a party girl, she’s a woman with tons of strength, knows what she wants and is determined to get it. Rile’s got a bad feeling so the quick rescue turns into a long visit. Role is a fabulous hero. He’s strong and damaged and has walls but Kensington is just the woman to knock those walls down. Fast paced, action and emotion packed, plan on reading in one sitting. Highly recommended.
If you have read other stories of the INVINCIBLES then you already are familiar with Rile, an enigmatic leader of the team, and well connected with the upper society in Europe. No surprise, when he is called to rescue the queen’s niece, Kensington. What does surprise him though is the feelings she wakes in him. Feelings he does not want to feel again. This is their story to a final happy end, it is long and winding and worth every minute you spend reading on.
I had been looking forward to reading more about Rile and finally this is it. A great book in a great series.

Cortez ‘Rile’ DeLeon one of the founding member of the Invincibles is tasked by the Queen to watch over and protect Kensington…to him it’s just another job except maybe it’s not…
What happens next will keep you on the edge of your seat, turning pages, chemistry, steamy romance, suspense, danger and falling in love!
I really liked this book, what started out as a favor to the queen turned into something much more. Kensington and Rile’s story was really great to read and I really enjoyed it.

It’s been a while since I escaped into a Heather Slade novel. Riled is my second jump back into the phenom that is Heather Slade. Rile and Kensington have me wondering why I have waited so long. The thrill of the chase. The jolt to your heart and the allure of falling in lust before love. There is no escaping once you give your emotions over to this amazing author.
