Retired Navy SEAL and current private-security operative Ian Sawyer had never expected to have a child, much less a wife, but his beautiful Angie has changed all that. Her due date is only days away, and his anticipation outweighs his anxiety, thinking about holding his firstborn.But as he’s learned the hard way, life throws curveballs at the worst possible moment. A frantic phone call in the … in the middle of the night is the beginning of Ian’s nightmare. He has to wake his brothers and teammates, leave his wife’s side, and fly halfway around the world to save the only other woman who could bring him to his knees—his mother.

What a dilemma for the sexy Alpha Ian to face! His wife is pregnant & due any day. He’s determined to be there for the birth, until he receives a call from his father. His mother has been kidnapped in the Philippines & no one knows where she is. Ian knows what he has to do but it doesn’t make it easy.
Samantha Cole does an excellent job of pulling you into the story & keeping you enthralled. The long awaited arrival of Angie & Ian’s baby was sure to be a spectacle with Ian not being able to control everything but this really takes him out of his comfort zone. Ms. Cole packed a lot of action & emotion into this novella but nothing felt rushed or hurried. I love that Chuck & Marie, Ian’s parents, will be close enough to be part of future stories.
Torn is half, another masterpiece from Samantha A.Cole. What I felt in this book is love in every way. This whole family of men and women love one another. They all have each other’s back. I love the suspense and Twatwaffle Ian makes me laugh. I recommend
What a great novella! Ian and Angie’s story continues as she’s pregnant and due anytime! It’s action-packed right from the get-go as Ian and the Team must rescue his mom Marie from kidnappers in the Philippines…right when their baby is due! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading… between Marie’s rescue and Little Bit’s arrival, you will be too! And keep some tissues handy – especially at the end…I promise you will need them! It’s a wonderful novella that’s full of action, family, love, and commitment!
I never have to think twice when it comes to buying a Samantha A Cole book. She consistently creates extraordinary stories that are suspenseful, intriguing, sensual, thought provoking and action packed. I know that I will get great Alpha males, equally strong females, hard hitting action and great romance.
It’s all hands on deck for a rescue mission. Trident Alpha and Omega teams, Deimos, Steel Corps Security and Blackhawk Security mobilize as one of their own has been taken. Emotions run high in this quick read. The Sawyer family reflects on fond memories and plans for the future as they race against time to accomplish the mission and get Ian home for the birth of Little Bit. Be prepared, you may need a tissue or ten as this story plays out.
When life throws tough options at you sometimes you have to go with your gut instinct. With a wife ready to deliver their first child any day, Ian finds himself halfway around the world leading a rescue operation for the only other woman who could make him leave his very pregnant wife home alone. His mother. With a plot as complex and as simple as this get ready for the ride of your life as the whole Trident security team head to the Philippines to rescue the matriarch of the family. I’m not going to give away any spoilers but this book will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat and biting your nails as you wait to see if Ian makes it home in time for the birth of his first child.
I have been a fan of Samanthas novels since the very beginning and this latest installment makes me realise just how much I have missed the men of the Trident Security series and their spin-off brethren
When is a man torn in half? Well, that’s easy… When his wife is close to the due date of their first child and his mother is kidnapped in a far off land.
Ian, of Trident Security, has no choice but to lead the mission to save his first love… his mother!
With a successful rescue under their belts, the team are heading home when Ian gets word that his Angel is in labour.
I highly recommend reading this fast but fabulous addition to the Trident Security series. In it you’ll find out about the infant addition to the team and whether or not Daddy got there in time to welcome Little Bit to the world.
World wind travel and meeting international “friends” drive Boss Man to conclude a most important mission prior to birth of the baby. Can it be done? Will Mother Nature cooperate? Read a good book and discover the adventure.
Ian has had my heart since I read his book. I don’t know why, but I totally fell in love with him. I have waited for this book since they announced Angie’s pregnancy. Just days before Little Bit is due to join them, Ian gets the call that he has to leave. His mother has been kidnapped, and he has to help rescue her. This story has just the right amount of suspense and nail biting. It also gives us a glimpse into Chuck and Marie’s love story. I can’t say more for fear of ruining the surprise, just know this is an AMAZING story!
Once again we are taken into the world of Trident and the sexy six pack. It’s time to meet the newest member of the family but not before the boys rescue there matriarch. I live the fact that we’re very too see where Ian, Devon, and Nick get their traits from. I loved their mother. And just wait for the surprises we get while waiting for baby. Samantha is the queen of tease and she hints at things to come and delivers on others.
I absolutely loved this chapter of Trident Security and Bossman Ian Sawyer! His Angel is pregnant and they are expecting their “little bit” at any time, of course then IAN gets a call and it’s all hands on deck. Both Teams and all the others as well. Samantha A.Cole has created a wonderful world where these characters represent honor and integrity above all. Of course they rag on each other a lot but The underlining love and respect they have for the people in their world is always shining through! This is edge of the chair excitement, laughter and drama all in one!
Tense from the start and full of suspense in one form or another, this story grabs you and tugs you in keeping you gripped throughout. It’s a fast read but still enough to completely soak up the events taking place within the pages and still leave you desperately wanting more when finished. I love these characters and can never get enough of them, this is one I’ve been waiting for forever it seems. To have family and friends this close is something anyone would cherish, the support and love they have unquestionable, one call is all it takes to prove. Heart stopping and heartmelting story telling at its very best.
What a ride it has been watching these Trident men find their wives ,but one of favorite men has and always will be bossman Ian Sawyer the man has always been on top of things and level headed but when he has to leave his pregnant wife to rescue his own mother who has been kidnapped will he make it back in time for the birth of his child? This book was absolutely fantastic and had all the amazing Trident men and their families in it and omg I so want Jen to get her man and book asap and I loved seeing Nick and Jake again. This book was absolutely everything you could ever want and more. Samantha is such an Amazing author and Wonderful woman and I can’t wait for more from her hmm maybe Jens book next please
We’ve waited a while for this book and the birth of Ian and Angie’s baby – girl / boy; all going well / all hell breaking loose – so many options. What no one expected was the kidnapping of Ian’s mother and a rescue mission that would see Angie possibly in labor and giving birth alone. Almost anything I write here is a spoiler, so this will be very brief. Ian was never my favorite of the Sexy Six-Pack, but this book has moved him up that list. It’s also, though, in the turmoil and the drama, a tender look at the older Sawyers, at the relationships of their children and how those are evolving, and a reminder that Trident is a unit, Alpha and Omega, with a very welcome cameo from Mic and her crew, and, of course, Jackass and Sweetheart. While the teams are closing in on Marie’s kidnappers, there is pertinent drama back at the compound, with a reference to a very current issue in the indie publishing world – just to keep us awake and aware. This may be a short book, but it’s huge on emotion.
I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
Perfect!
Ian is not subtle so you KNOW any baby of his is will come into the world in dramatic fashion. Of course the beginning of the drama comes from Grandma being kidnapped.
Just enough action to keep the story Trident, but funny, sweet and tender too. Ian and Angie are special couple in the Trident family and so glad they got this special novella. We also get a bit more of the Chuck & Marie story which is sweet and memories of John while sad, give more insight into their family.
The whole Sexy Six Pack is involved in the mission to rescue Marie so we get small glimpses of them as well.
Of course it all culminates in the birth of baby Sawyer. You will have to read it to find out – Boy or Girl – and if Ian makes it – but it is SO worth it.
I espeically love the moments between Nick & Jake. But I am biased as they are my favorite of the couples.
I received an advance copy in order to give an honest opinion.
Ian Sawyer’s worse fear is to not be there when his child is born. With one phone call Ian must find his missing mother half way across the globe. Will Ian and the rest of the team locate Marie Sawyer in time? Will Angie have the baby without her husband? Holy crap this might be a shorter length book but it certainly packs a punch. Samantha A. Cole weaves a tale of how much Marie is important in all of the operatives lives while giving her readers a glimpse into the future hopes and dreams of other characters. The perfect storyline to not only review the past but to look for the future as well. This book deserves more than 5 Stars!!
This story shows family love, be it blood related or working or serving together for years. Ian being torn about going to rescue his mom but leaving his pregnant wife who is ready to give birth any minute, how everyone works together be it Alpha or Omega Teams, helping with finding Marie, or Kristen and the team wives helping Angie this story had me crying it was beautifully written. Can’t wait until the next book comes out!
What a great novella!! I absolutely love the Trident guys and was so excited for Ian and Angie to finally get to meet Little Bit! Throw in a kidnapping/ rescue of Marie to add some drama to Ian’s life and you have a wonderful, much anticipated story. I loved it!!
Oh my gosh once again Samantha brings us to our knees with this one.
Marie Sawyer, mother of Ian, Devon and Nick, has been kidnapped and Ian’s wife Angie is due to deliver their first child any day.
The Trident teams all head overseas to rescue Marie leaving the wives and girlfriends of the teams to worry and take care of Angie.
Poor Ian not only has to save his mother but he has to get home in time to see his child born.
Will Ian and his team be able to save his mom? How will he ever be able to make it home in time? Better yet is it a Boy or a girl?
Ian Sawyer has become one of my favorite characters out of all the books I’ve read. His wit, his humor, his devotion to everyone he loves and cares for is unique. While Ian and Angie are waiting for the birth of their first baby, Ian and the guys get called out for the most important mission they’ve ever been on…..to rescue his mother. I absolutely loved this short story because we get different points of view while the guys are traveling across the world to get their mom. Jake and Nick’s point of view just almost made me cry!! I loved it and the hints dropped are ones I can’t wait to see in future books. The whole story from start to finish was just awesome. And the ending……………well, I’m not giving anything away but that also made me cry and laugh at the same time. This is going to end up being one of my favorite stories in this series. We get to see Ian during a vulnerable time and how he handles trying to take care of the two most important women in his life. Just get the book, you’ll see what I mean!!!
This story gutted me. For all those who have read every Trident Security Book and know how tough all the Sexy Six Pack are, this book showed how vunerable and caring they are when someone they love is hurt of needs them. Ian and Angie are anxiously awaiting the birth of “little Bit” when he is called away on what may be his most important mission yet; to rescue is Mother. Not only do you get to see what true love is in this book (from all the members of the TS teams) but you get to find out about Ian and Angie’s baby. This is a definately a DO NOT MISS book!
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totallt voluntary review.
