He never expects to find her there… knows nothing of his clandestine activities with the criminal enterprise, and stands as her stalwart protector.
Forced into marriage…
But Quinten never expects the mob boss to force them into marriage at gunpoint as a test of loyalty. Not to mention, the idea of her belonging to him isn’t unappealing, nor is he as averse to the prospect as he lets on. Becca, with her sweet curves and take no prisoners attitude, fascinates him, stirs him, and leaves him craving her submission. Yet his past is fraught with broken dreams and death, so he uses his friendship with her brother as a shield against his yearning to claim her as his own.
Resistance is futile…
However, circumstances soon compel Becca and Quinten to become the most unlikely allies in a deadly game of deception. Now they must depend on one another for survival. As they race to unlock the keys to breaking the case, will Quinten be able to maintain his hands-off policy with Becca? Or will he surrender to the earth-shattering passion and turn their marriage of convenience into the real deal?

The introduction of Quinten and Becca immediately drew me in. The scenario of Quinten being an undercover officer fighting the bad guy only to be surprised his friend’s little sister is in over her head was intriguing. There’s a back and forth with the emotional guilt on Quinten’s end and a bit of naiveite on Becca’s end but they managed to work through it, have some thrilling BDSM scenes and give us a HEA. This was a fantastic addition to the “Crescent City Kings” series.
The Right To Remain Silent by Anya Summers is an amazing story to read. This is book number three in this amazing series that I have loved reading and can not wait to read more from this amazing author. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about erotic and contemporary romances.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
The third story is another intense page-turner—but then again—all of Ms. Anya Summer books are. Each story in this series will read well as a stand-alone. I will admit this story is an emotional roller coaster ride with the various characters, the good the bad and the off-limits. Throw in an undercover officer, the mob, and your best friend’s sister—what could go wrong!
This will not be my typical review—I’ve had to rely on the robotic voice on my Kindle to read to me as I am sewing (face mask), and therefore, I don’t have my standard quotes. I’m also going to keep this short and straightforward.
OMG, read the book, and you won’t be sorry. Anya Summers has a way to draw her readers into the story and keep them on pins and needles. She has the best chemistry with her characters, and plenty of angst—a touch of danger and suspense. I love how Quinten is caught between his duty as an officer, a man who has desires, and remembering that Becca is his best friend’s baby sister, all while doing everything to keep her safe. What has fate done to these two?
An emotionally charged suspense romance.
Becca’s day had started okay, but by the evening, she was going to be on the run for her life with her brother’s best friend, Quinten. Between all of the plot twists and the heat that Becca and Quinten have for each other this book will have you on the edge of your seat. It was one of those books that I had meant to read half one night and finish it up the following night but I could not put it down.
This is the third book in the Crescent City Kings series and although it’s about a group of friends, it can easily be read on its own. But if you are going to read the series, it should be read in the order it was written because… spoilers.
Also, as with all the books in this series, it deals with the BDSM lifestyle and it’s many, many variations so if that’s not for you, don’t read this book.

Our hero is undercover trying to break a case when he unexpectedly finds his best friend’s sister caught in the middle. Next thing he knows, they are forced to marry at gunpoint and things get interesting from there.
This is book three in the series, but it is written as a standalone. No prior reading is required to understand this book.
This is a romantic suspense story with several little twists to it. I found the story to be well written and easy to read, with a intriguing plot that is a little different from the norm. The characters are well developed and come with a bit of baggage since they already knew each other. It is fun to watch them work through their preconceptions to achieve common goals and understanding. Once they do, things turn very steamy indeed. Overall, a very fun read and I look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended.

Quentin was a detective and part owner of a DOM club. He was working undercover with his precinct and the FBI bc their was a mole in his precinct. His best friends sister Becca discovered him working for a mob boss and thought he was a crooked cop. Quentin ended up having to marry her because they told the mob boss she was his fiancé. Then things fell apart. This interesting and exciting story was full of danger and betrayal and a bit of DOM with sub loving. Good read.

I enjoyed this nicely written book as it is well paced, interesting, exciting and engaging in the story-line and great characters. Be warned that you do have to suspend belief at the set-up in the beginning but once you get past that it is a great ride that the author takes the reader on. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

This was my first book by this author and overall I enjoyed it but it felt like his denial went on too long. I liked the characters together and understood the dynamics of their relationship but I wanted him to just admit it sooner. She was a bit naive but not annoyingly so and he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Together they are a force to be reckoned with. Each brings out better qualities in the other. I will be going back to read the previous books in the series.
Quinton claims Becca as his!
by sewsummore
Quinton was working undercover when he is forced to claim his mate’s little sister Becca as his fiancee. She had discovered that the mob boss he was working for was using her Art Gallery as a front to import drugs and now has he has her. Claiming she was his was the only thing he could think of that would keep her safe and save her life. When a mole in the police department exposes Quinton, there is nothing he can do but run and hide with Becca at his side. Becca had always been interested in the Dom/submissive lifestyle, and she learns just what it entails as Quinton punishes her for bratty behavior. This book was enjoyable to read and I found the relationship between Becca and Quinton was part of the reason. Quinton was an experienced Dom who knew just what was needed for Becca to accept her submissive side. The book eventually ends happily, but not before their lives were put at risk in an explosive confrontation with the mob boss.

I like when a story has some darkness in it. This story has some and it is well written. Nice storyline and plot. Nice chemistry. Main characters are well described and they develop well through the story. I like the development of their relationship.
A story with action, steam, BDSM, love and twists.
The story has some faults and things that are not right in it in the beginning. They made the story a bit difficult to get into. The story could have been more realistic but it is a story that has a lot of action in it.
Steamy and suspenseful read that will have you wondering the final outcome
This is my 9th book by Anya as I love the steamy interactions and suspense between the characters Quinten and Becca. Quinten is an undercover cop trying to take down the Rudnikov mob when he comes upon Becca in the mob boss’ office. Quinten’s pretense that Becca is his fiancée has unforeseen consequences for them. With a mole in the police force, Quinten and Becca barely escape with their lives. While Quinten works to discover the mole, he tries to ignore Becca’s submissive pull to his dom instinct without betraying the best friend code with Becca’s brother. Yet there are some things that just can’t be ignored and the steam level will have you fanning yourself with the book. Will Quinten’s plan to take down the mob and expose the mole work without jeopardizing Becca’s life? You have to read to find out and will not want to put the book down.
Running from love 4 stars – This book is full of action right from the very beginning. Becca and Quinten were forced to marry by a mob boss. While they were able to leave the mob boss’ unscathed, anything after that involved narrow escapes, danger, uncertainty and tempers flaring. Trying to stay alive and clearing their names from a murder became their focus but their attraction for each other couldn’t be denied. Becca’s honesty in her desire to learn if she is submissive broke Quinten’s resolve. Steamy sex ensues but Quinten’s push and pull attitude, which I find the reason to be flimsy, wreak havoc on Becca’s feelings. It feels mean but it is also unmistakable throughout the book how Quinten seriously cares for Becca. Quinten was not only running from the mob and the law but also from accepting Becca’s love. The identity of the mole was a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming. Good story to go with the romance.[I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
I absolutely loved The Right to Remain Silent! It was absolutely a fantastic read and I just loved Quentin and Becca with their crazy hot chemistry! Definitely enjoyed the delicious story line so much that once I started reading I could not put it down! I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking a sweet suspenseful steamy hot read! Don’t pass this delightful delicious hot book up!

This third book in the Crescent City Kings Series by Anya Summers was definitely one hot and erotic thriller with loads and loads of BDSM sex between Becca and Quinten, despite the fact they are trying to hide in order to stay alive and one step ahead of the Russian mafia while at the same time bringing those same criminals to justice. Did I mention hot erotic BDSM sex? Oh yeah, there was plenty of X-rated action happening as the main couple tries to figure out exactly what type of relationship they have and whether it will last if and when the criminals are caught. Becca and Quinten are put through such emotional highs and lows while they search for the answers to these questions I found myself almost telling them what to do, even though I knew the author would do a better job of it. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Booksprout for Blushing Books.
I love Anya Summer’s books and have enjoyed Crescent City Kings series. Quinton and Becca’s story however was my least favorite of the bunch. For a undercover cop, a Dom, and co-owner of Club Underworld, he seems pretty indecisive. His back and forth, his hot and cold quite frankly gave me whiplash. He was a disappointment for me. Becca, on the other hand, I really liked. Thrown into a situation with a drug mob and having to go on the run with Mr. Should I or Shouldn’t I, she handled things better than I would have. The good things about the book were it was well paced, steamy, great twists and turns, and a HEA. I can’t wait for book 4 and I can’t wait for Dante and Michael’s book!!

Undercover sting anyone?? This is a great romantic suspense book and I loved both of the main characters, Becca and Quentin! This is going to be put into my To Be Read Again file just to see what I might have missed because I was turning the pages so fast! Ms. Summers, you are an author worth watching for!
