Anyone who read Heather’s book as been waiting for this story We have met Rile (Cortez DeLeon) on and off and he was mysterious enough that we just knew he had a story and what a story it is
When the Queen asks Rile to rescue her grand nice Kensington he had no idea what he was in for there she is parading around with barely any clothes testing his patience. Kensington has a suitor who doesn’t want to hear the word no and keeps stalking her she is also fed up with her protected and who so boring life There is an instant attraction between them but Rile has no intention on acting on it That is until the danger for Kensington ramps up and suddenly he realises just what she means to him. Can he keep her safe and do they have a future together
The Queen of England contacts Cortez ‘Rile’ DeLÉon who is the founder of The invincible Intelligence and Security group to find her great-great niece, Kensington. She was last seen with Konstantine who is heir to the former Austro-Hungarian throne. After they rescue her from Konstantine she is sent to America to live with her mother. But when Kensington over hears a conversation between Konstantine and her mother she contacts Cortez. Kensington and Cortez have an immediate attraction but Cortez fights their attraction because of their age difference and his past. When Cortez decides it would be best to let Kensington go, he inadvertently put her in danger. Will he be able to save her before it’s to late?
This was a well-written story with great characters and an interesting storyline. There was plenty of suspense, intrigue, twists/turns and steam.
Twist, turns, up, downs…all make up what I loved about Riled. Rile and Kens love story has it all. Rile is a little different than most with his extra/sixth sense that he inherited from his mother. Poor Kens did not have the best parents and was actually raised by her grandparents. Rile was convinced that their age gap would exclude having any kind of a relationship with Kens but after spending time together they quickly realize they can’t fight what they feel. Of course that is not the end. Like I mentioned before twist turns, and surprises make up this love story. You will have to read it to find out what happens along the way! I highly recommend Riled!

Great older man younger woman book with wonderful characters and a gripping story. Terrific episode episode in the Invincibles series.
This is the story of Cortez/Rile and Kensington. Kensington was in danger and Rile was asked to protect her. They were attracted to each other but Cortez has reasons why he thinks they should not be together. It is a great mix of romance, drama, suspense, mystery and action. I like how the story flowed. The characters are good. It was well narrated. There were really emotional moments and I was there with them. I enjoyed reading this book. It is worth the time and if you like romantic suspense stories you will certainly enjoy reading this one.

Rile and Kensington’s story will grip you from the start and have you entranced by this couple. Their story packs a punch with passion, angst, drama, suspense and heat. This is an emotional story that at times will have the tears falling not only due to heartache but also due to overwhelming and affecting moments. As you ride the waves of emotions from laughter, frustration, anger and love you will be drawn into their story in a way you will never expect. If you get Riled up over one book from this series, Kensington and Rile’s story should be the one.
This is the story of Kensington and Rile. When Her Majesty requests Rile to rescue her great niece Kensington, he’s not really happy about the assignment. He changes his attitude when he meets her and saves her from the threat. With her life in constant danger, he takes her to his island. These two have a strong chemistry and take us on an emotional rollercoaster ride. The romance, suspense and danger kept me reading. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Another great book in the Invincibles series!
Riled is the story of Cortez (aka Rile), a founding partner in the Invincibles private security firm, and Kensington, a great-niece to a reigning monarch. They meet when it is reported that Kensington has been kidnapped and Rile is hired to find her and protect her. With her safety at stake, Rile puts together a security detail and whisks her away from a dangerous situation to his home in Mallorca.
This book is a steamy romance with enough suspense to keep the reader guessing. Well, okay, you know there is going to be an HEA ending but you won’t know how it will happen! This novel also dabbles in a little “woo-woo” which I loved. There is steamy romance so this book is intended for mature readers. However, that being said, the sexual content does not drive the plot. The storyline is strong enough to carry the reader all the way to the end of the book. With fabulous characters and their connections to various royal, this story is sure to please even the most finicky reader!
This story had a good amount of action with a crazy royal obsessed with Kensington and Cortez and his team working to protect her. I loved his island escape house. I thought it was cool that he had a secret sixth sense power that allowed him to know what someone was thinking. There were other paranormal elements in his conversations with his deceased wife and his visions. He kept letting the age difference and that he didn’t think he could love again get in the way of his romantic relationship with Kensington. She was silly at first putting herself in bad situations because she was bored. But she found purpose and became more serious. I didn’t care for the rough dominating love play. This was a very steamy romance with funny, sad, and intense moments.
Book four in The Invincibles series a well written suspense, May/December story that kept me turning pages. This is Francesca Alexandra Kensington Whitby and Cortez/Rile DeLeon’s story. There is suspense, drama, danger, villains, a loving spirit, and romance. What a Story! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Rile is a code name for Cortez. The reason behind that code name is unknown. Cortez background is very interesting, to say the least. In this book, Cortez is assigned to protect Kensington. Their connection is undeniable, but Cortez doesn’t want to risk his heart emotionally
This is the second book that I have read by Heather Slade and I am so happy that I found her as an author. I absolutely loved this book!!! Heather Slade writes a heartbreakingly romantic book that has your emotions on a rollercoaster…and I loved every minute of it. Heather Slade characters were fantastic. I liked both Kenzie and Rile right away and grew to like them more and more as the book went on! Heather Slade has great descriptive writing, where you are able to imagine the scene that she is describing in your mind’s eye perfectly. The only “complaint” that I had is that there were so many different security people involved that I had a hard time keeping track of all of them. While minor characters compared to Kenzie and Rile, their names and jobs were mentioned a lot and it seemed as though as soon as I got a couple down, a few more would be introduced. Other than that minor dislike, the book was FANTASTIC!!!!! I can’t wait to read more by Heather Slade!
A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This one about Cortez “Rile” and struggles he goes through alone and how he is brought in to protect Kensington. The action keeps you turning the pages with a team trained to get things done. Love this series and all are standalone reads.
I have loved each of Heather Slade’s books in both The Invincibles and K19 Security series! Each new story just seems to get better and better and Riled doesn’t disappoint. While the book can be read as a stand-alone, their are characters that appear or are referenced from both of the other series whom I have also come to love and enjoy hearing more about. The complexity of these characters is amazing! I loved the interplay between Rile and Kensington and found myself laughing at times and at others shaking my head at some of Kensington’s antics. Such a great story!

I simply adore this author. Her books can be read as stand alones or as a series. This book has characters who are compelling, interesting, flawed, hopeful and lovable. The conflict and passion between Rile & Kensington is smoldering. Both have hopes, dreams and goals they are uncertain can be attained. Both fear really being vulnerable; Rile more so than Kensington. Being protected from a crazy suitor is both the best & hardest experience of Kensington’s life. She fights for what she wants but realizes, eventually, that she must let him make his own choices. Having the intuitive angle makes it even more complicated. This book introduces a plethora of additional characters. I hope each one gets their own book

The Power of Love
When the Queen asked him to protect Kensington, Rile had no intention to fall in love. He loved and lost, so he did not plan to love again. He pulled out all the stops to protect Kensington, but he resisted her with all he had. Will his resistance be stronger than the power of love? If you like romance with a healthy dose of danger and suspense, you will enjoy the story. This book is a part of a series, but it can be read as a standalone. I think you would have a richer experience if you read this series from the beginning. All the stories are filled with romance and action that will keep you turning the pages. I look forward to reading what Heather Slade writes next.
Do yourself a favor: Get. This. Book.
It is worth every penny.
This story is really well written, has characters that are created with tantalizing depth and a captivating story line.
It grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and turning page after page throughout the whole book!

Riled is another 5 star read by Heather Slade. I absolutely loved Rile and Kensington, and I really liked the sixth sense element throughout their story. The Invincibles is one of my favorite series!
