I got this book in the Trident Security Series Volume 1 and I give this series a 5 star rating. This is a well written BDSM story so please remember this when you get this one. I love the characters and I love seeing characters from the previous books. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series. I would encourage everyone to get this one and the series. There is some Ménage in this book so please be aware of this also.
5 stars
Twelve years ago Ben/Boomer lost his best friend and the girl he was falling for. He became a Navy SEAL and then he went to work at Trident Security. He also belongs to a BDSM club where he is a Dom. He was waiting for a new client to meet him when a ghost arrives at his office. Kat was a seventeen year old girl when her life collapsed. She was in a car accident with her parents and brother. Her mother and brother die and she and her father are put in Witness Protection. After her father passes away, someone comes after her. She runs to Ben because she’s been keeping up with him. Now that Boomer has her back, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
I loved this story. Action, suspense, and sex. Loved both characters and couldn’t put it down. Spanking, ménage, and BDSM.
* Read this as part of a boxed set *
Fabulous
Great series…just what I like. Steamy sex scenes, strong characters, a little angst and suspense and danger. I loved it when Boomer fainted. Warm family amongst the men and their fiends. Carter has to be super hot but I haven’t gotten to his book yet!!
Adrenaline Rush!!! Wow!!
I tell you what, this guys from Trident sure know how to keep us on our toes. Always out saving damsels in distress. This book was and excitement rush from the first turn of the page. I had trouble putting it down. Dang, just so exciting.
It’s a true long lost love story. Best kind of story that you can find. Always though the woman always misreads a situation, but then guys never say what they are feeling.
Love watching a new sub in learning. I really want Carter to spank me.
Until Next Time… Tabi
WAITING FOR HIM is the third book in the Trident Security series. Each will stand-alone, but it is still best to read in order for the overall character developments.
I have given my heart to the Sexy Six Pack, but Boomer’s reaction to seeing Kat for the first time in twelve years is absolutely swoon-worthy. (Okay, that’s my pun for the day, but you won’t know it until you also read the book.) All puns aside, it did make me sigh once I realized why. In fact, their love is one big sigh-fest!
This series just keeps getting better and better. I will always want to read more about this amazing group of Doms/subs and their friends. Unfortunately, now I have to WAIT for the next book and that makes me sad. Samantha Cole is now listed in my top 10 go-to authors when I need something to read. I’ll be waiting for her, just as Kat was waiting for Ben…
Narration: Donovan Kane is the voice of the Trident Security team. It is everything decadent and sinful. There are a few mispronunciations, but forgiven for the timbre and deliciousness that is whispered in my ear.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobooks Unleashed, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

It has been a while since I read the first two in this series, and I was happy to finally get around to reading Ben’s story. The way the author started this book had me hooked, and if life didn’t get in the way, I would have finished it a lot quicker.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading Boomer and Kat’s story.
Katerina Maier was Boomer’s first love and then she died. Now 12 years later she’s standing in the Trident Security offices and when Boomer sees her what does he do? Faints of course! She needs his and the Trident team’s help. She’s been followed and someone has ransacked her apartment but she doesn’t know why. While the team tries to unravel the mystery, Boomer and Kat rekindle their love slowly. There’s so much catching up to do, explanations to be made and learning about each other’s lives once again. As Kat, Boomer and the team follow the clues left behind by her father, the situation becomes dangerous. Kat has something the Russian mob wants and they arw willing to kill to get it. Now it’s up to Trident to keep Kat safe and foil the Russian’s plan.
Imagine finding out that your first love is no longer dead! That is exactly what happens to Ben. He never really got over the loss of his first love Kat. Then one day, Kat walks back into his life seeking help. That is only the beginning of the drama filled story. The third installment in this series, and it is different from all the others. Ben gets a second chance with his first love, one that he never thought could happen. Watching as Ben tried to accept what happened and resolve his own internal struggles with it is what makes this story so addicting. I could not put it down. This one really tugged at my heart. It left me wanting more.
Donovan Kane once again, delivers a perfect narration of the Trident boys. He brings out the alpha in them all, but with Ben, Kane is able to bring out his hurt. Kane narrates Ben to pull at heartstrings and bring out all the feels. I really enjoyed this narration and cannot wait for the next book.
Erotic
Did not like this book at all. DIdn’t realize it was BDSM; otherwise I would not have purchased. I only got about a third of the way before I finally had to cry uncle. Not my cup of tea and so I have removed this one from my library.
Suspenseful 2nd chance at love romance
In Waiting for Him book 3 in Samantha A Cole’s Trident series one more member of the team gets his HEA.
I could feel Boomer/Ben’s shock when Kat comes into his life after believing her dead got 12 years. Immediately their off the chart chemistry ignites as the couple is reunited after all these years. The plot moves swiftly as Ben introduces Kat to BDSM and they try to find their way in spite of the looming threat to her life. I thought the actions of the Trident team and the other law enforcement agencies appeared authentic and kept me engrossed until the final resolution.
Another great story in this series. I absolutely loved the beginning of this book when these two reunite and loved listening to their chemistry spark back to life. This whole crew is so much fun to listen to.
This book is soooo good. I love Boomer and him finding his soulmate again is amazing. You get a lot of Carter in this book, definitely a plus in my book. There is also nasty Russian Mafia guys and of course the rest of the Sexy Six Pack and their women and we can’t forget Beau! He has a major role in this one too.
Well, each chapter keeps getting better and better. Ben and Kat were meant to be when they were in high school, but tragedy struck. Fast forward 12 years later and Kat re-appears. This first chapter was a teaser for the book and it was an excellent hook. His reaction, I never would have imagined so Ms. Cole was spot on for any reader to be swept up.
The story continues with many twists and turns and you see a wonderful wealth of extra characters in each and every story. I absolutely love Carter and he played a larger role in this book and it was hilarious in some chapters and others he was so hot. The alpha in all of the guys is great, but in Carter, spectacular. Boomer and Kat have had quite a journey and it was a wild ride and I’m so glad that I was able to participate as a reader. LOVED IT!
I was crying, laughing and panting reading this story. Every one of the Trident Security stories are just better and better! Ben and Kat had waited for each other their entire lives. So to say it was explosive is an understatement. Hot and Steamy with wonderful characters and Alpha Dom’s is all I need for an extremely well written book!
How would you feel if the love of your life came back from the dead? And had the Russian Mob after her? Benjamin “Boomer” Michaelson has no choice but to help Kat stay alive, but will the feelings he has had for her since he was 18 years old once again come out or will he help her and walk away? Once again, Samantha A. Cole takes the reader on a wild ride filled with hot, sexy men, enough twists and turns to the story it feels like you are on a roller coaster, and emotions so high you will need a cigarette when you are finished.
18 years ago, Ben (Boomer) lost the girl he loved; or so he thought. While her family was killed, Katerina survived and has spent the last 18 years in the Witness Protection Program. Now, her past is back to haunt her and she goes to the only person she knows can help her. When Ben sees her, he thinks he is seeing a ghost. Now, with the whole Trident Security team protecting her and trying to keep her safe, her and Ben get to know each other again. Will they get their forever or will someone get to her or to Ben?
