I really liked Hannah she definitely has confidence when confronting Ryder at times ,but she frustrated me at times with how well meek she could be with Kevin. Ryder is gruff and just wants off the island but the longer he stays the more he and Ninja realise his sister may be right and that leads us to plenty of confusion on whats going on, twists that surprise you, trying to work out who is behind the deaths and mysterious stuff in the cave as well as some very steamy times between Hannah and Ryder while they struggle with how they really feel about each other.
Another Cover Six man down! This book is about Ryder. Ryder’s sister, Allison calls him for help! He drops everything and heads her way on a remote island. When he arrives, his sister’s best friend and his ex is there. He broke Hannah’s heart years ago, thinking this is what was best for her. While on this mission, Ryder and Hannah realize the feelings that they had for one another all those years ago had never disappeared. Ryder tried to fight them, but Hannah was relentless. Lol! Ryder had thought his sister was not being serious when he first got to the island. Didn’t feel the reasoning’s she gave were of an emergency situation. But then things started happening, and he was then on high alert! I missed the other Cover Six guys in this book. Ryder had Ninja with him and there was mention of a couple of the others guys, but not actively involved in this book. I love all the banter between them and the family they all are. However, this book was still awesome and I recommend it.
Lisa has a knack for story telling and creating a landscape that you just want to sink into, and I am not talking about just the scenery. Her characters are alive and you invest yourself in them. Ryder rushes down to a remote island when his sister calls telling him it’s a matter of life and death. He gets there with another operative in tow to find his sister, Allison, and her best friend, Hannah, volunteering to build a school. Once again, in Ryder’s opinion, his sister has over reacted, or so he thinks. Hannah is the girl he’s loved and left so many years ago. And used her to measure every woman since then. Sparks fly when they are thrown together. And the storytelling just gets better as Ryder realizes his sister and her friend may have actually discovered something. The twists were good end unexpected. This series just keeps improving with each book.
This series started off with a bang, and has continued the intrigue and romance. All of the cover six security men are so captivating and I enjoy reading all of their stories.
A must read series.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Ryder “Boomer” Hess believes in helping family – no matter how aggravating they can be. Hannah Montgomery believes in helping her friend. We get to see Ryder’s sister Allison and it was interesting to see her interactions with him. He has an expertise in something that Allison needs use of.
Ryder gives me the impression that he feels his sister has over exaggerated the situation. Hannah seems like she could be shy or maybe it has something to do with Ryder. Ryder is a man who says it like it is but sometimes it seemed like he took it a little too far. The action and adventure that the author adds into this story seems to be the match that strikes the fire under our couple. It’s something that grabs the reader’s attention and makes you feel as if you are right in the middle of the action. The author also creates a possible connection between another couple. It’s enough to make you wonder if we will see more of them. The ending was perfect for Ryder and Hannah – especially because of what I learned along the way. What was perfect for me is that another book in this series is coming out this summer.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
The Defender: Ryder’s is a faced paced story filled with intrigue and suspense with the added bonus of a steamy second chance romance!
You are going to love Ryder’s alpha protective tendencies as well as Hannah’s strong, sassy personality as they work together to solve the mystery of who is smuggling guns and killing people on the small remote island. They are lucky to have help from Ryder’s sister, Allison and his partner, Ninja because they are going to need it when everything goes bad.
This is book three in the Cover Six Security series but can be read as a standalone. I am a big fan of Lisa B. Kamps and this series and I recommend you check out the rest of the book in this series if you haven’t already! You will not be disappointed!
Wow! What a fantastic book! I love the Cover Six Security series!
This is Ryder and Hannah’s story! Ryder and Hannah were involved when they were younger. Hannah is Ryder’s little sister Allison’s friend. She has been in love with Ryder for years. Allison calls her brother for help which put the two of them back together. They realize their feelings haven’t changed.
This story takes us on a wild ride full of twists and turns, suspense, danger, wonderful romance and hot, steamy sexiness! I loved the secondary story of Allison and Ninja. I hope they get a story of their own! It would be fun to read it!
This story was great!! Big brother Ryder will do anything to protect his sister even traveling hours to do it!
Possible SPOILERS
Ryder “Boomer” Hess has arrived on an isolated island because he received a call from his sister Allison saying that it was a matter of life and death…so he came running with his teammate/friend Colter “Ninja” Graham to protect or even save the ladies only to find out that things aren’t exactly as he thought.
Hannah Montgomery thought that it was a bad idea when Allison called her brother Ryder who is also Hannah’s ex and the man who took her…
Ryder uncovers things that aren’t quiet right on the island but….
Suspense, mayhem, romance and a story that pulls you in from the get-go!
This is the third story in the Cover Six Security series from Lisa B. Kamps but can be read as a stand-alone.
Hannah Montgomery and Allison Hess are on a far away island working with volunteers to rebuild a school for the children living there. When they spot something suspicious, Allison immediately calls her brother, Ryder, asking him to come as “it’s a matter of life and death”. Ryder can’t say no to that and rushes to his sister’s rescue, bringing Ninja (Colter Graham) a fellow Cover Six friend, to help out. So begin the adventure for all!
When they arrive however, it seems the emergency is not what Ryder expected. Nor did he expect to see Hannah, whose heart he broke years ago.
Hannah and Ryder have a history together, one that ended badly.
What did Alison and Hannah see? How much danger are they facing and from whom? Can Hannah reconcile the hurt Ryder caused in the past with who he and she are now?
This is a fun, fast-paced “whodunit” story with a touching romance between Hannah and Ryder, that will keep you guessing until the end. The supporting characters, Allison and Ninja, add fun to the story as well (plus maybe evolve into a story of their own?).
This is book 3 in the Cover Six Security series and it did not disappoint! With each new set of characters, I fall a little more in love with the Cover Six Security guys.
Ryder is a ex army ranger and definitely not hard on the eyes. He has never had a problem with women but relationships are a different story he has always compared them to his younger sisters best friend Hannah. Hannah now works on humanitarian projects that take her around the world. When his sister Allison calls to say they are in a dire situation and they need his help he drops everything to go to a remote island to help.
Hannah has had a crush on Ryder since she was young and in school. It broke her heart when he went away to the army. Hannah decides that with Ryder coming to help it is her perfect chance to jump in with both feet.
Will Ryder be able to keep his feelings for Hannah aside and keep them out of Danger? Will Hannah be able to convince Ryder that she is not just his younger sisters best friend anymore?
*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review.***
I always get excited for new to me romantic suspense authors and Lisa B. Kamps fit that bill. The blurb for RYDER had a few of my favorite things- danger, a touch of the forbidden and a second-chance at love, so I knew I wanted to give it a shot.
I liked Hannah. She was kind and headstrong. A do-gooder through and through. But when a blast from her past, Ryder, her best friends brother, gets called in to help with a tricky, possibly dangerous situation, it stirs up all kinds of feelings. And not all of them were positive. There was some pain, anger, resentment and also a fair dose of guilt. On both sides.
With danger coming from an unknown villain and very limited resources, it was a race against the clock for Ryder to get to the bottom of the mystery. Throw in the barrage of emotions that being around each other again stirred up and it was recipe for something explosive.
Things really picked up with about twenty percent left to go. It was intense and forced Hannah and Ryder to put aside all their past turmoil and work together to get things done. But I found the way things wrapped up anti-climatic. Yes, justice was served but there were so many unanswered questions that I was left feeling unsettled about how it played out. However, the very end was swoony to the max. Which left me feeling even more confused about my overall impression with the book.
Wow! Talk about a fast paced, wild and crazy ride. What the heck is happening on that remote island? That’s why Ryder Hess gets a call from his sister to go there and find out. This book is another amazing story in this series! It is chock full of action, adventure and suspense with a nice second chance at love tossed in for the very sexy Ryder with his old flame, Hannah, who is also his sister’s best friend. Problem is he crushed her heart all those years ago and it is going to take a lot to fix that, despite the obvious chemistry between them. I love Ryder and Hannah so much and I also love the hints at what I hope to be an Allison and Ninja book coming up. The writing is so well done that I felt like I was there on the island trying to help solve this mystery!
Humanitarians, Vacationers, and a hand full of lies!
Who were the humanitarians and who were imposters? Was anyone really on vacation? Who was telling lies? Was anyone telling the truth? What can happen on a small, remote Caribbean island? The Defender: Ryder is one wild adventure! It’s a mixture of past and present relationships and friendships, with a second chance thrown in!
Allison, Ryder, Hannah and Ninja were wonderful character and Author Kamps did an amazing job with multiple POV! Now the other characters, I’m not sure I can call them wonderful because they were quite the characters! Set some time aside, because you’re going to want to read this book in one sitting!
I love Lisa’s writing! She draws me in to where I was sitting right on the remote island with everyone else; I was walking through the inky-pitch blackness of a cave (basically scared out of my mind because I hate the dark), but seriously she pulls you there (wherever there may be) and you are surrounded by every nuance and I LOVE it! This is what draws me back, time and again, not to mention the amazing characters, but her writing is the best!
Hannah Montgomery, is Ryder’s sister’s best friend, whom work on humanitarian projects that take them around the world. This is nothing new, but the call that Ryder receives from his sister, Allison, stating she is in a life and death situation and he better come quick leaves little room for negotiation in his mind. Ryder and Ninja board a plane and travel to a remote island to help because she’s his sister and that is what family does. What he is not prepared for is the the sight of Hannah given it’s been twelve years since he’s been around her and basically he tries very hard to keep his distance. When he left for the army he left behind her broken heart and hasn’t been back, but being stuck on a remote island isn’t going to make staying away very easy, especially if there is danger involved.
Hannah has had a thing for Ryder pretty much since she met him back in elementary school. Even when he broke her heart they day he left for the army she has never stopped wanting him. So when he shows up on the remote island to answer Allison’s call, Hannah decides to take a chance and spend the little time with the only man who has ever called to her. She knows it’s only for a brief time, but she’s willing to take that chance. It’s better than having nothing at all, she already knows what the last twelve years have been like so she decides to jump in with both feet. It’s now or never and now seems pretty good. She’s never been one to hesitate, so why start now.
With danger and suspicion all around them, it’s hard to get to know each other and whom they’ve become as an adult, but even with the brief time they do get both Ryder and Hannah respect and enjoy each other’s company immensely. However, when things go sideways, Ryder turns to what he knows best and Hannah is right by his side, helping Ryder every step of they way. They are a fierce duo when they work as a team, but can they make it out alive to see if they could have a future?
The main focus is on Boomer and Hannah, but with this being a remote island, there is a small hint to Ninja and Allison in this book, but both swear nothing happens. However there is a lot of chemistry between the two, so I’m hoping at some point there will be a story about them. I’m crossing my fingers and toes.
