I’m a huge fan of second chance romances and love my romantic suspense, put them together and add them to the world of the SEALs of Shadow Force that Misty Evans has created, and I knew I would be in for another fabulous read.
Noah is still a bit broken – from not only the torture he endured as a prisoner of an evil terrorist, but also the heartbreak he suffered when Jena walked away from him. He’s trying to heal, and with the help of his brother and his “family” at SFI, he’s starting to put the pieces of his life back together. When an assignment finds him face to face with Jena again I wasn’t sure how he would react – and once again Misty Evans did a superb job of showing Noah’s struggle with his emotions and feelings and weaving them into the story.
Jena was what I would call an eternal optimist. She always sees the best in people and never wants to believe that anyone would want to cause her or those she loves any harm – and kudos to Evans for writing a character that might have ended up TSTL (too stupid to live) and transforming her into a strong heroine who never loses that belief that there is good out there.
One of my favorite things about this series is getting to spend some time with Beatrice and the other characters of SFI – and being a huge Queen B fan, it was fun to watch her work behind the scenes to make things happen. Although the cast of characters is large in the SFI world, Evans always manages to bring in just the right amount of characters to offer support and add to the current story without adding any distractions.
As usual, Evans builds a world that is engaging and entertaining, weaving characters and settings together to provide the backdrop to both the romance and the suspense. There are plenty of twists in the plot to keep things interesting, and I just loved the little bits that were woven into the story that gave some foreshadowing to what might be coming next.
I’m a big fan of this series and Misty Evans – and would highly recommend this one!
Nothing Misty Evans writes is ordinary. Warm, wonderful, hot and dangerous, yes; typical second chance romance? No way. Ms. Evans has once again created a world that pulls in the reader with a fantastic story line and an unforgettable romance.
Jenna is an actress, a country singer/songwriter, and a true country girl. There are few things that she really wants out of life. A chance to sing again, safety for her grandfather, and a chance to make things right with Noah. Noah is an ex-SEAL, you know what they say about that, and part of Rock Star Security. Babysitting a horse might not seem like the toughest job in town but for Noah, returning to the world in which he grew up is almost as painful as dealing with PTSD and the memory that his mess-up had terrible consequences. If Noah doesn’t steal your heart, no one can.
Once again, Ms Evans gives us a story that is not only engaging, but is also thought provoking.
This time , the story belongs to Noah Pierce. A former Navy SEAL now a member Rock Star Security who is still suffering from the months while being tortured in captivity .
Jena DuMont, his former girlfriend and a pop star, has not forgotten him. She has come to question her decision of not marrying him. When her grandfather’s prized horse is threatened, he hires Rock Star Security and specifically Noah, to be the horse’s bodyguard. That’s when they both have to deal with their past and how they still feel for each other.
While the story is filled with intrigue, whodunit, and rekindled romance, it’s more than that. It’s a reminder that those brave men and women who place their lives in danger so we can be safe and live in a free country, frequently return home with not only physical injuries ,but also psychological ones. As a nation we need to not only honor them , but also give them all our support and resources to return to a life filled with a productive future and support. For that, thank you , Ms Evans.
