Think you know everything about the Sexy Six-Pack? Think again! This is the story fans will never see coming! Jaws will drop and hearts will pound because everything is not as it seems!Jase Atwood is a man with a forgotten past and an unsure future. Living on the island of Caicos, he spends his time sitting in a bar drinking, scuba diving for sunken treasure, and working as a mercenary of sorts. … of sorts. Some referrals are by word of mouth, while others come from the United States—Tampa, Florida, to be precise. Trident Security is a private, special ops company that occasionally uses the ex-pat for missions in South or Central America or the Caribbean, since returning to the US would be far too dangerous for him.
Brie Hanson has lived on Caicos since she was thirteen. After her father’s death, she took over Daddy-O’s, his bar/restaurant popular with tourists and locals alike. Her three-month relationship with Jase has been just for sex—no dates, no getting involved in each other’s lives, and no letting their emotions rise to the surface. However, when her sister disappears, Brie’s lover steps in to help find the missing woman. But unbeknownst to either of them, Jase’s past and present are about to collide. Will it destroy their future?

Salvaging His Soul
Trident Security #8
by Samantha A. Cole
Narrated by Gunnar Qualen and Jenna St. Claire
Romantic suspense. It’s not easy to have the romance play into the suspense, but the talented Samantha A Cole has a knack for it. Each book in her Trident Security series has both a fantastic couple and a story that keeps you on the edge. This one is especially good because it involves quite a few of the past characters we have gotten to know and love as well as focus on Brie and Jase. Brie runs the local bar, and Jase, the bad boy, comes and goes. He and Brie has an understanding that they are friends with benefits. But when Brie’s sister goes missing, Jase is there to help. When they go to check out a tip, Jase bumps into his past and now things are going to heat up. Secrets kept, girls gone missing, realized feelings and an explosive reunion keeps this story exciting and passion filled. I love this series. Smartly written and romantic it is an adventure every time.
Gunnar Qualen and Jenna St Claire are our story tellers for this episode and their narration is fantastic. I love this team for a couple of reasons. Every book is duet narration so there is no question of who is speaking. Their chemistry is palpable and comes through with every couple they narrate. it creates a cohesive feeling as I listen, and I love that. And their voices are amazing. Qualen has the alpha voice but is smooth as silk and St Claire keeps our women smart and alluring. This is one listen you do not want to miss!
This is about Jace and Brie. Brie is a carefree bar owner in the Caribbean, Jace is a bad boy that disappears every once and a while to do assignments for different clients. They confirm their interest in each other and it’s just a friends with benefits arrangement until its not. Brie’s sister goes missing on another nearby island and this is what Jace does, so they start their investigation and he meets some people he never thought he would see again in person. Let’s just say that the most loveable characters show up to help out Jace and it just gets better and better from there on in. Love the sarcasm and the interaction of all those characters you get to see again. It really takes a brotherhood and they are there for Jace, even though his checkbook it out and taking a hit. One of them is a real idiot and he has to grovel big time … Always an enjoyable read by this author, she’s a one click author for me.
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
Okay, this book totally blindsided me. And this is going to be a short review because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone but Jase and Brie are PERFECT together. What comes out is shocking and it leaves you wondering if they will make it and if Jase can make it up to the one person he was forced to leave years ago. Hearts were broken years ago and scars will be ripped open when his secret is revealed. Is Jase strong enough to survive and will he still capture Brie’s heart. I loved Ian and the rest of the Trident guys in here and wanted to reach through the book and smack a few of them upside the head for their part in the secret. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. Then make sure you have the time to read this because once you start, you will NOT want to stop until it’s finished!! The books by Samantha remain some of my favorites. She knows how to draw her readers in and get them hooked on the story. If I could give this 10 stars I would, it’s that good!!
The first chapters had me a little confused – as in, what do Brie and Jase have to do with Trident and the whole series? There didn’t seem to be any connection. Well, i got my answer, when the elevator doors on the island of St. Lucia opened, someone fainted and my jaw dropped to the core of the earth. I got my holy-sh*t moment and wouldn’t need to wonder anymore.
The banter between everyone is still ridiculously amazing. That is one book I definitely enjoyed reading.
The author has a seriously amazing mind to spin stories, that Not only cover one book, but lead you through many books of the story and that is – in my eyes – what an excuisite author does. Fabulous!
This book is fantastic! I literally could not put it down and read it in one night. It has all of the suspense and intrigue and hot scenes that Samantha A Cole brings to her books. Plus there is a twist I never saw coming. I love this author! Ok, a little about the book…Jase Atwood, who does some out sourced work for Trident Security, helps his friend (with benefits), Brie Hanson find her missing sister on St Lucia. We get to hear from most of the Sexy Six Pack plus Carter and Jordyn. Ian is his sarcastic lovable self and has come up with a great nickname for Jase but you’ll have to read the book to find out because this review will not see the light of day if I mention it here lol. You really need to get this one now and find out what the men at Trident Security are up to.
Love, love, loved this book. It was great to be reunited with the best characters from Trident Security. This is a must read that will cause the reader to no longer take things at face value because Samantha A. Cole was not completely done with a character we all fell in love with from a previous novel. This book is a must read.
Salvaging His Soul was an incredible treat for fans and readers of the Trident Security Series! While Samantha A Cole has been focusing on her spin off to the original sexy six pack team, which has been phenomenal, she revisits members of the Alpha team when readers least expected it.
Trying to outrun his past, Jase Atwood, an ex-Patriot and sometimes contractor for Trident Security has been living on the island of Caicos. Knowing he has no real future to speak of, he opts for no serious relationships and hooks up with Brie Hanson, a local bar.
Brie has been living in Caicos with her sister since she was ten. She took over Daddy-O’s a local bar when her father died and is enjoying her no strings attached relationship with Jase. They are both having fun and Jase has been slowly introducing Brie to some light BDSM. Everything changes, however, when Brie’s younger sister disappears and Jase discovers there is much more to it than a simple kidnapping.
Jase’s past and present collide when he and Brie are tracking down leads and happen to run into some of the Trident team and their significant others who happen to be vacationing in the Islands. Sparks fly as secrets unfold and truths are revealed. Plus, Jase and the rest of the Trident team need to save Brie’s sister before she disappears for good.
I loved the characters of Jase and Brie. Jase’s back story packs quite the punch and explains something Trident fans didn’t even realize they were missing. Brie is sassy and independent, yet has to rely on Jase’s help to find her sister. They are a fantastic couple, once they both realize what they really want and need from each other.
The plot is fast paced and suspenseful. It is also full of humor. Some of the interactions between the Trident team had me literally laughing out loud . . . especially as Boss Man Ian continues spice up his vocabulary with some colorful new insults as well as his delightful and ever present sarcasm.
If you are a fan of the series, Salvaging His Soul is not to be missed. As Samantha A Cole promised, it really is the story that no one saw coming! 5 stars!

Samantha Cole has brought us another amazing read. She brought me to many emotions but it was awesome!!
Jace has risen from the dead and his best friend is ready to kick his ass and every who knew. In the meantime, he is trying to fight his feelings for Brie. There are many ups and downs while they try to find Brie’s sister Nadine who has gone missing.
This book is a beautiful story of finding redemption in love and of exploring the idea of forgivable vs. unforgivable things in life. Also, in pure Samantha A. Cole style – when you least expect it, expect it. My favorite line was “Might as well have more asses available for her to kick before she gets to mine!” Intrigued yet? Then read it!
*****SPOILERS****
Before i start, i have to say…. DAMN!!! it never gets old to read all these alpha, super hot men..
i mean just having in a room with Ian, Carter and Jase was enough for me to want to be kidnapped and saved by this guys lol ….
When I first met Jase at His Angel, i didn’t really like him that much because, well i was rooting for Ian but i have to say it was a very pleasant surprise to see him in Salvaging His Soul… not only i got to meet more of him and see his natural Dom side but also i got to see his gentleman side and that speaks very loud about him…
Jase was hiding from his past, trying to just live in the present and don’t even want to look too much into the future. He works as a mercenary and that’s one of the reasons he is not looking in to anything permanent or anything that has to do with relationships.. Jase has a “Friends with benefit” relationship with Brie. Brie is the owner of Daddy-Os a bar that is located on the Island of Caicos a favorite places among the tourist …. Jase and Brie where “comfortable” with their arrangement, non strings attached, until something happened that change everything forever…
Jase has been hiding for a while at the island, trying to build a new life, hiding from his past including people who knew him, specially close friends… Everybody though he was dead (except the TSS) but as i said everything changed. When Brie’s sister disappear, she asked him to help her find her, together they take on a trip to search for Nadine, Brie’s sister and thats when everything starts to collapse .. when people recognizes Jase, good old friendships are going to be at stake…
Salvaging His Soul has many moment that i really love, like: When Ian punched…. (not saying names) but lets say he totally deserve it lol … when Jase gets super jealous after seeing the beautiful Brie wearing something super sexy, that highlights her curvaceous figure… i love that we get to see a lot of the TSSSMHG (Trident Security Service Super Mega Hot Guys) specially Jake and Nick (fanning myself over here) in action.. i love also that twist, which by the way i totally didn’t saw that one coming
(the guys of the pool…)
The best of the best was … Carter and Jordyn scene Damn!!! super mega hot!!! i love these two .. and Jordyn is definitely one of my favorite female characters.. just because she kicks a** big time…
Another hot one.. the scene when Jase is telling Brie what to do and where to touch … Damn!!
AND the twist at the end WOW… lets me just say this .. next book seems like the sex and the chemistry of the characters is going to be B.A.L.L.I.S.T.I.C…. because the heroin is not only super flirty, she is also known among the Trident Men to be a very forward female.. so i can figure she is going to really be, very intune with her sexuality … ok ok i’m getting way ahead and super excited but to tell you the truth since i read about her in the other Trident books I’ve been waiting to see more about her… hell to the yea!!!
what i like about The Trident Security Series is that in every new book, like Salvaging His Soul we get to see all the characters we’ve been in love with .. I’ve been reading this series since the beginning and i can tell you how nice is to see, the evolution of all the characters..
and last but not least …. there is a surprise at the end of the book, a bonus you should look into it… you are going to love it!!
Salvaging His Soul
Jase and Brie are a match made in heaven. The only thing is, it takes Jase awhile to realize that while helping her find her missing sister. Oh and there is twist that Samantha A. Cole was right about. No way did I see that coming. Love love love her books!
OH. MY. GAWD! I did NOT see that coming and it was perfect!
A friend recommended Samantha’s books and I’ve now read everything she’s written (I think)Salvaging His Soul (Trident Security Book 11) . While I love the action & the romance (these books are HOT) at the heart of it, this series is about relationships. This book isn’t just about the main couple, it’s also about the relationships they have with other team members we’ve met in previous books. You certainly could read this as a stand alone but I always prefer to start at the beginning…. you won’t regret it! 🙂 Samantha A. Cole
I love the Trident Security Series and Salvaging His Soul was great!!!! It was well written, with lots of plot twists & surprises & romance! You will love SHS! Great read!
This story starts out on the Island of Caicos in the British Virgin Islands. Brie Hanson is managing the bar, Daddy-O’s. This was her father’s bar that she inherited when her dad passed. Her sister, Nadine had no interest in the bar.
Brie is with her friend-with-benefits Jace Atwood when she gets a frantic call from Amy, who is Nadine’s best friend and room mate. Nadine is missing.
Jace doesn’t even hesitate he flies with Brie to St. Lucia. Jace has a secret pass. He presently is a gun for hire, body guard and does some work outside the US for Trident Security.
There is some intense build up of suspense and intrigue which the author always does an amazing job with. Trident Security teammates get involved so you know this is going to be action packed. Love that we get to catch up with the teammates.
The banter between the characters make the story more ‘real’. I love the nicknames. There are also some very hot sex scenes. We also get another look into the BDSM lifestyle.
There is just so much going on in this book that is very hard not to give out spoilers. There our some twists!
I also love how this series just seems to get better with each book. I consider this series a ‘must’ read and highly recommend you read them in order.
Ms. Cole is a master at taking a situation that is relevant & grabs your attention, adding a twist or two (or more) & not letting go but leaving you begging for more! A part time mercenary with a lost past tries to help out his sub & runs head long into his past. The simple task of looking for a missing sister just became a lot more dangerous. The men & women of Trident Security come into play so the reader gets caught up with their lives. This plot keeps you guessing!
It opened with a steamy introduction to our H/h and never slowed down. We get visits from some of our beloved Trident characters and a plot twist that had me yelling WHAT!!
A page turning, fast paced, steamy read that will appeal to you on so many levels. The H/h dynamic was intense, the storyline intriguing and the secondary characters appealing.
Jase and Brie have a friends with benefits relationship that works for them. He feels his soul is unsalvageable and he can’t give his heart to anyone. She is busy running the family bar and doesn’t have the time are inclination for a relationship. A series of events has both of them questioning their true feelings and their relationship in general.
