The Line Of Duty by Nichole Severn is another great book in the Blackhawk Security series.
It will take you on a ride from Alaska to New York City. With plane crashes and corrupt police, and give you a love story with Vincent Kalani and Shea Ramsey. I have loved all of Nichole’s books in this series and this one won’t disappoint you. This is another 5 star read that I wish I could give 10 stars for it. I got this ARC for my honest review.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. Shea and Vincent never in their wildest dreams thought of one crash-landing in the alaskan wilderness in mid-winter. And even scarier to find out, someone made them. A chase starts all the way from Anchorage right to the middle of NYC. And one they think they might just be safe all hell breaks loose. I Love Nichols writing. It is a bit though every now and then with all the injuries they have to conquer along the way, but it’s a wonderful writing nevertheless.
Wow! The Line Of Duty is an action-packed romantic suspense by Nichole Severn. Ms. Severn has delivered an exciting and well-written book that I couldn’t put down. The characters only enhance this phenomenal story. Vincent, Blackhawk Security forensic expert is going to New York to try to solve the last thing he was working on when he was NYPD. Shea sometimes works with Blackhawk as an Anchorage Police Department officer. When their plane goes down they are forced to work together. Shea and Vincent’s story is loaded with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I loved this book and look forward to my next book by Nichole Severn. Line Of Duty is book 6 of the Blackhawk Security Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

MY REVIEW
WOW this book was off the charts !!!!!!
The Line of Duty
is the sixth book in the Blackhawk Security series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone. I haven’t read the first books and had no trouble reading this one and keeping up. After reading this story I definitely want to read the whole series !!!! This is such a great fast paced gripping, intense action packed book from the moment the plane crashed. If you’ve not yet read one of her books you’re missing out! Her writing style is so vivid you can’t help but feel a part of the story. Once i start reading it, I was glued to the pages unable to put it down. I finished this book within a few hours of starting it! Truly an excellent read from the beginning to the end. If i could give it more than 5 stars i would. Many thanks to the Author for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions I have expressed are my own.

Although this has been sitting in my tbrs for awhile, THE LINE OF DUTY’S attractive cover (the hero) and the Blurb are what caught my attention, particularly the extreme Alaskan climate. Well written books with frigid temperatures add tension and risk as certain as a lethal antagonist, IMO. I enjoyed LINE OF DUTY’S fast pacing, story line, and I found myself liking both main characters. I really don’t care for TSTL heroines, and I was relieved the FMC didn’t fall into that. [ Several writing liberties were taken such as the man sinking and basically drowning in icy hypothermic waters, then appearing later in the story apparently resurrected and fine; and then there was an (inferred) shower scene after our hero has just received over 200 stitches (entirely soaking his newly stitched gun shot wounds) – which normally is a sure way to cause infection, but well, this IS fiction. 😉 The topic of postpartum depression was unexpected, and knowing women who have dealt with it, I thought it was well handled. LINE OF DUTY, #6 was my 1st Nicole Severn novel but I intend to check out her other titles in my tbrs soon. IMO, LINE OF DUTY can be read as a standalone title. I had no trouble following along with characters (I assume) were from previous books in the series. I recommend LINE OF DUTY to readers who enjoy suspense romances, law enforcement novels, HEAs, and/or (mostly) Clean suspense romance fiction.
Officer Shea Ramsey/FMC is an investigator for the Anchorage police department and has teamed with Blackhawk Security investigator Vincent Kalani/MMC a number of times over the past year. Vincent mainly heads up the forensic area for Blackhawk Security, Alaska’s most prestigious security firm, but he has been known to work other areas as well. Vincent worked forensics 9 yrs in NYPD before moving to Alaska following his last job in NY which ended poorly – good men died; people he knew well, people on his team. Now it appears repercussions from that last case have followed him to Alaska. And good people are dying again. Much to his regret, Officer Ramsey has been caught in the trap meant to kill him. Her days now seem numbered as well.
READER CAUTION – Fairly Clean.
VIOLENCE – PG-13. Not particularly dark or graphic, at a level similar to a televised Cop program.
PROFANITY – No. I don’t believe so.
SEXUAL SITUATIONS – Not on-scene. 1 brief scene which stops and moves “behind closed doors,” not much more than what appears in television commercials today, and a mention of “attraction.”
IMO appropriate for YA readers/16 and up and those who prefer Cleaner fiction
Another amazing book in the Blackhawk Security series.
Shea & Vincent are so good together. Two seemingly broken souls that bring out the best in each other as they struggle to survive.
I loved this book!! Shea and Vincent are a great couple — not really enemies to lovers, but let’s say a lot of mistrust and annoyance. I’ve love Vincent throughout this whole series and his book did not disappoint. From a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness to the streets of New York, Vincent and Shea’s story is full of action, love, mistrust, feelings of betrayal, and, of course, that wonderful HEA! This book can be read as a standalone book, but if you haven’t read the series, you’re really missing out!
Disclosure: I receive an ARC of this book for an honest review!
Who are Vincent and Shea? What do they each do for a living? Where are each headed and why? What was Vincent’s job back in NYC? How did he end up in Alaska? What happens when he tries to get on a flight? Who else shows up? Talk about a storyline that kept my body tense as I read it, holy smokes! Who are Logan and Wells? What happens that Logan changes his tune a bit with regards to Shea? You have to read this story to see what happens and who is actually behind it all! I was SHOCKED!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT from Netgalley FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
Explosive. Intense. Fast-paced.
This story kept me on the edge from the very start to the last page with unpredictable twists, deadly action, and romance gives a promise of better days to come.
This whole series has been an amazing experience of thrilling suspense and deep heartfelt emotions, absolutely fabulous from the start to finish.
The Line of Duty is the sixth in Nichole Severn’s Blackhawk Security series. Operative Vincent Kalani and Officer Shea Ramsey have worked together several times during his time in Alaska, but he doesn’t expect to see her on his flight back to New York. Fortunately for them both, they make a formidable team when the tiny plane crashes, apparent victim to sabotage, and then when they need to defend themselves not simply from the harsh elements but from the killers out to make sure they don’t actually make it out of the wilderness at all.
Nichole Severn’s fast paced story of determined investigators, corruption at many levels in the organizations supposed to serve and protect, a mother’s love, and the power of trust and determination make for a page-turning read. Vincent and Shea face down numerous physical threats with superhero-type stamina and ferocity. They are able to work together to save each other many times over.
While The Line of Duty is part of a series, it stands alone, as I was easily able to enjoy it without having read the prior stories in the series. I’ll look forward to catching up now!
A fast paced romantic suspense!
The line of duty is part of the Blackhawk Security series but can be read as a standalone. Blackhawk operative Vincent is on the same plane as police oficer Shea. When the plane crashes in Alaska the action starts. They have to work together to survive in the wilderness and are being pursued by the killers.
It’s a good plot, I liked Vincent and Shea and how their relationship developed.
It’s a great series and I really liked this book. I received this arc from the author and this review is my honest opinion
4 1/2 STARS!
Unexpected danger unites their survival instincts! With book six in her always intense Blackhawk Security series Nichole Severn brings us a gut-wrenching twist for Vincent Kalani. I’ve enjoyed this entire series and seeing Vincent get some answers to things that have haunted him is fulfilling.
Vincent Kalani is tough and methodical in his handling of life, but his kind heart makes him easy to like. When ghosts from his past come to life in the most dangerous way he has to find a way to keep himself and Shea safe as their connection deepens.
Shea Ramsey is a take no gruff type of cop and she doesn’t think too highly of Vincent and his group of so-called vigilantes, but tough times call for drastic measures so she finds herself joining forces with him to get out of this dangerous predicament.
I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys an intense story of intrigue and danger with romance mixed in amongst a close-knit group of co-workers.
Severn wrote a fast-paced, thriller with slightly super-human characters. Perfect for fans of found family and learning to trust others with weakness.
Good book with non-stop, page-turning action from the very beginning. This is the sixth book in the Blackhawk Security Elite Protection series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone. I haven’t read the first books and had no trouble reading this one, though I definitely want to read the others.
Vincent is a former NYPD forensics investigator who left New York for Alaska after an investigation that killed two coworkers and nearly killed him. However, he has never given up his quest to find the person responsible. He recently found some new information that sends him back to New York to investigate. He was surprised to find local cop Shea already on the plane when he arrived at the airport. Shea is a by-the-book police officer. After a year of getting her life back together, she is on her way to New York to fight for custody of her son. She is not happy to see Vincent.
The dynamics between Vincent and Shea were interesting. Shea has been tasked to work with Blackhawk Security several times, usually with Vincent. Vincent is intrigued by and attracted to Shea, and unknown to her, had requested to work with her. Shea hates anything to do with Blackhawk. She looks down on them for skirting the law when it suits their purposes. When their plane crashes shortly after takeoff, Shea and Vincent must work together to survive. “Survive together. Die alone.”
This is where things get a little over-the-top crazy. The plane crash was no accident, and someone has it in for either Vincent or Shea. As if the crash weren’t bad enough, they are pursued by a group of hitmen determined to stop them at all costs. The physical abuse which both Vincent and Shea endure would have left any average person hospitalized for weeks, but our two heroes power right through it. I did like seeing Shea learn to trust Vincent as they fought for their lives.
I loved that once they were rescued, Vincent had to face the music with the rest of his team. He was so worried about risking their lives by involving them in his investigation that he kept his distance from them. I loved seeing them remind him that he had saved all of their lives at some point over his time with the team and that it was their turn to help him. Shea was also included in the protection because of threats against her son.
The craziness continued when they reached New York. Vincent’s investigation involved a sub-group of corrupt cops, and his determination to find out who was running the show. The intensity of the action picks up even further as Vincent and Shea run into trouble at their first stop. There are some interesting twists as Vincent and Shea begin to close in on the truth. The final confrontation was a nail-biter with multiple life-threatening moments. I enjoyed seeing the head of the corrupt cops get what was coming. I loved the comment that “The district attorney was going to make himself a hell of a career with this one.”
I enjoyed seeing the development of the relationship between Vincent and Shea. From the start, Vincent thought that Shea was strong, intelligent, and generally amazing. Shea thought of herself as broken, and as she and Vincent grew closer was afraid of what would happen if he knew the truth. I loved the ending, as he demonstrated the depth of his love and belief in her. I cheered when Shea realized that she had Vincent’s love no matter what. I also loved the final scene with shea’s ex-husband, who also saw the changes in her.
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of The Line of Duty . This story took off from the beginning till the finish with pulse pounding action . WoW! I couldn’t put it down . The suspense was off the charts and intense . Vincent Kalani works for Blackhawk security . He finally has evidence he needs to catch a killer in New York where he worked with the NYPD a year ago . He boards a small passenger plane in Alaska surprised to find the beautiful Officer Shea Ramsey is also on board . While on the flight things go horrible wrong . They crash in the frozen Alaskan mountains . They don’t only have to fight to survive injuries and freezing weather . They must fight for their lives as Vincents past has come after them .I enjoyed reading this story so much . I highly recommend taking the time to read .
The Line of Duty is a part of The Blackhawk Security series, and it has been a very good series. I loved the cover and the man on the cover was so hot. Overall it was a very good read, although it did stretch the limit at times I think of how unlikely someone would still be able to function with all they have gone through. There was good chemistry between Vincent and Shea, and I would recommend this read to others. I received an ARC of the paperback and was under no obligation to leave a favorable review, all opinions expressed here are my own.
Oh my this one set in one of the places I want to go one day if possible. Vincent and Shea are going to draw our attention and take us on their quest. I myself could not imagine being stranded like this but then again I do get to experience it through these two. We will be stuck like glue to them we also come to know they do know each other. Funny thing is they both have this secret about the other and their feelings for them. This was not a crash that was a accident but one of a different kind and we will be front and foremost holding on to see if they survive, plus they both have some high motivators to help in it too.
Another great book by Nichole. Her Blackhawk series is a must read. We have Vincent and officer Shea Ramsey on a plane from Alaska that crashes. This book is action packed and keeps you guessing. This is a page turner with strong characters that keep you rooting for them and not wanting to put the book done till you find out what happens.
Officer Shea Ramsey was not expecting anyone on the plane with her. But Blackhawk operative Vincent Kalani is boarding the plane. They have worked together, but she’s by the book. His team is not. They make there own rules. She’s heading to New York for her son. She doesn’t know what he’s doing. It’s not until tragedy strikes and they must count on each other to survive.
Buy the book and see what happens.
Paperback copy comes out September 29th
Kindle copy October 1st.

If you want an action packed breath taking story, this is it! From one event to another you think you have time to catch your breath before something else happens, but you are wrong. Vincent and Shea can’t get a break.
Will they be able to figure out who is the master mind and save her son?
Action packed with strong heroes and heroines from Blackhawk Security team working together to protect their own.
