Blurb: Former Special Forces medical sergeant Russell “Red” McKinley knows a thing or two about wounds, like the fact some can take a lifetime to heal, if they heal at all. The scars Red carries run deep, and living with PTSD often means battling the memories of his past. Injuries he received while working an executive protection case with fellow Kings and co-owners of Four Kings Security, have once again forced past heartaches to the surface, but Red is determined not to let it derail his blossoming romance with sweet and sexy fashion photographer Lazarus Galanos.

Laz can’t deny there’s something special developing between him and Red, but Laz has wounds of his own. He’s hesitant to jump into a new relationship after his recent explosive breakup.

When an attempt is made on Laz’s life, Red is determined to keep him safe. Laz may not be a client, and Red is still off duty, but Laz is one of their own, and nothing means more to the Kings than family. While an investigation is underway, Red and Laz are growing closer, but can they find a way to help each other heal and take a chance on love, or will their fears and insecurities cost them more than their future together?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Four Kings Security collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Laz and Red have the hots for each other, but neither have made a move. Laz had met the guys when they saved him from a nasty piece of work that he had called a boyfriend. Ever since then Laz has wanted Red and only Red. He can’t trust his heart but it seems his head is not working for him either. He knows in his head that not all men are the same, but damn things are just getting crazy for him. Not to mention someone wants him dead.

Red had watched his brothers in arms die and now he was trying to get his head on straight. He has gone through the sessions with his doctor but one little problem and he is back in the past. He has wanted Laz from the start but well lets just say Ace is going to help him. This might just get real interesting.

I came across this author with another series of hers and I was fascinated by the worlds she creates and the guys that she writes about. Hot and sexy with that added danger attitude in them, and damn I want me one. You get excitement, adventure, danger and some hot loving in this book and so much more. It gave me everything I could want in a story and so much more. The story is fully developed and have a entertaining story to tell.

I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. Ace should set all his friends up, he just seems to have the crazy down pat. I would definitely recommend this book, trust me it won’t let you down.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Years after a vicious beating by his ex partner on the force Detective Dade Pope is doing all he can to take down the bad guys. With hardly any support from the LAPD that is easier said than done. One night he meets sexy Homeland Security Investigator Felix Jbarra who is undercover at the time during an arrest. After said arrest Dades world is turned upside down when he’s threatened with arrest among other things. Felix on the other hand knows he’s innocent.

I loved this story. Two law enforcement officers one veteran, one new, one faces bigotry everyday on the job by his ex partner, the other has a partner who seems for all intense and purposes to be there for him. These two couldn’t be any different than night and day yet they worked well together in the field.

Hot sexy scenes, a lot of loving and suspense keep you on the rollercoaster of mystery while they try to solve a child trafficking case. Great cast of characters old and new show up in this awesome story.

I am looking forward to reading more about these two as well as the others and to see if Preston Redding ever gets whats coming to him.

Fantastic read and highly recommended.

When their case intersects with the ATF’s through stolen weapons, Lincoln and Mac team up with Jarrett and Thayne to solve their case as well. 

From a desert hunting lodge for the insanely wealthy, to the gang-infested streets of Los Angeles, the men follow the guns to solve both their cases.

Review: Jarrett and Thayne are back in this exciting addition to the Death & Destruction series. They enlist the help of Cassidy Ryan, as they team up with FBI special agent Lincoln Snow and his partner Mac McCallahan to take down dirty L.A. cops, a gang mixed up in stolen guns and an online sex ring.

This story has a lot of action in and out of the bedroom. I loved the way all the men had one common goal: to take out the trash. I really liked how well they all worked well together in their quest. It was a journey to say the least.

I loved seeing how Jarrett and Thayne are when living together. It was certainly entertaining at times and thoughtful at others as they settle down. I love this series and am looking forward to the next installment.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: A great addition to this series as Mills Lang, the evil arms dealer is back in this book and it is up to Jarrett and Thayne to stop him. Mills has a deadly nerve agent called Taban that he plans to sell to highest bidder. As with the other books this one has plenty of action.

A few scary scenes, a mystery man, plus a lot of hot action made for an outstanding read. I love the chemistry between Jarrett and Thayne. The secondary characters added to the appeal of the story. Jarrett’s ex is back and it causes Thayne to get jealous on top of everything else going on.

Twists and turns lead the reader on a journey of trying to stop an arms, figure out who the mystery man is and what he wants. It’s a roller coaster of emotions as well as a great book. I loved it.

Highly recommended.

Review: Two assassins after the same man. Eastman is hellbent on taking out those responsible for his lovers death many years before. He is on a mission to take out Russian Valentine who is Dom at Invitation Only and also his lovers brother. When he discovers the man is innocent he does all he can to stop the other assassin sent to carry out the hit.

What starts out as a battle of wits and wills turns into hot and steamy interludes until danger comes knocking. With the help of the Invitation Only staff can Eastman protect an innocent man or will death take him?

I really loved that two assassins got hot and heavy in this story. Danger, action and drama are a reality in this amazing journey to the finish. The person who took the hit out did not surprise me given who they were. I myself thought the man was insane.

Loved this story. Highly recommended.

Review: Wow. A superb ending though I hope that this is not the end if nothing else I am hoping for another series connected to this one as there are a few things that happen that could be expanded on. Jarrett and Thayne are awesome characters that have been there for each other since the beginning. I love this couple.

This is an action packed, edge of your seat story that just kept getting better the further the story progressed. Once it all ended I was sad that this could possibly be the end.

I loved all the characters throughout as each added their own element to achieve the maximum effect of the story. Well written and descriptive this story will have you anticipating what happens next throughout.

I will be re-reading this series at some point because it’s just that good. I highly recommend this series to all.

Hunting for big bad wolves was never part of Agent Cooper Dayton’s plan, but a werewolf attack lands him in the carefully guarded Bureau of Special Investigations. A new case comes with a new partner: ruggedly sexy werewolf Oliver Park.

Park is an agent of The Trust, a werewolf oversight organization working to ease escalating tensions with the BSI. But as far as Cooper’s concerned, it’s failing. As they investigate a series of mysterious deaths unlike anything they’ve seen, every bone in Cooper’s body is suspicious of his new partner—even when Park proves himself as competent as he is utterly captivating.

When more people vanish, pressure to solve the case skyrockets. And though he’d resolved to keep things professional, Cooper’s friction with Park soon erupts…into a physical need that can’t be contained or controlled. But with a body count that’s rising by the day, werewolves and humans are in equal danger. If Cooper and Park don’t catch the killer soon, one—or both—of them could be the next to go.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: BSI Agent Cooper is not happy being assigned to work a murder case with Trust Agent Park.

The BSI works cases of the supernatural variety and the Trust works the same. With tensions running high a plan is hatched to get the two teams partnered with one another. The problem is the prejudice among the humans as the Trust are werewolf agents.

Cooper was extremely unprofessional at times due to his past. Park seems to take things in stride.

The investigation leads to more than one murder and a surprising twist that took me by surprise. I loved the mystery and the details surrounding the twist.

Park and Cooper slowly get closer to each other as they try to solve the murders. There is another twist that I did not see coming at all dealing with Cooper. Needless to say this was an interesting story with plenty of twists and turns.

Great read.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I really enjoyed reading about Craig, Amos, Finch, Blaze and Garnet. The guys were seriously bad ass. Tough as nails and not afraid to fight for what is right. Danger comes in many forms to the group. Power hungry alphas tear down and abuse pack members at their leisure. On top of that the group learns of a facility were people are taken never to be seen again.

This was a great beginning to a new series. I was disappointed in the two m/f/f scenes in it as I’m an m/m reader. But aside from that it was a gripping tale of love, betrayal, deceit, mystery and suspense. This story had me on the edge of my seat.

But I do wonder what happened to Sharpie. He was mentioned several times as one of the people taken yet there was no mention of him being one that was rescued or that died, so I’m curious as to what happened to him on that island.

Great read..

Jarrett Evans and Thayne Wolfe have been partnered in the ATF for nearly two years and their love and commitment to each other has grown over time. Now faced with one final challenge, the boys are headed to Arizona to help Thayne’s mom, stumbling headfirst into a brand new case. When a man is shot on Dot’s sister’s ranch, their informal investigation leads to the Native American reservation bordering the property.

Juggling tricky tribal politics isn’t something Jarrett and Thayne are accustomed to but, as with most things in their lives, nothing is ever uncomplicated. When a surprise sighting shakes Thayne to his very foundation, they call out for help and their colleagues ride to the rescue along with a little help from the FBI. The mystery on the reservation only deepens when they start putting two and two together. Questionable cigarettes at the Ahtunowhiho Trading Post may be the least of their worries.

From the mean streets of Los Angeles to the vast deserts of Arizona, Thayne and Jarrett once again brave the minefields of bad guys, bigshots, and a vicious betrayal that kicks them in the ass. But one thing is certain. Thru thunder and lightning, Jarrett and Thayne are never alone. They’ll fight for each other down to the last man standing, even if it costs them their very lives.

Eight months after the car crash that changed everything, FBI agent Aidan Talley is back at work. New department, new case and a new partner. Smart, athletic and handsome, Jameson Walker is twelve years his junior. Even if Aidan was ready to move on—and he’s not—Jamie is off-limits.

Jamie’s lusted after Aidan for three years, and the chance to work with San Francisco’s top agent directly is too good to pass up. Aidan is prickly—to put it mildly—but a growing cyber threat soon proves Jamie’s skills invaluable.  

Jamie’s talents paint a target on his back, and Aidan is determined to protect him. But with hack after hack threatening a high-security bio-containment facility, time is running out to thwart a deadly terrorist attack. They’ll have to filter out distractions, on the case and in their partnership, to identify the real enemy, solve the case and save thousands of lives, including their own.

Blurb: ATF special agents, Thayne Wolfe, and his partner, Jarrett Evans, have gotten into sticky situations in the past but nothing prepares them for the daunting task of being loaned out to a coal mine in West Virginia where Jarrett’s grown up. Investigating a deadly mining explosion may be the end of them yet. 

In one of the most beautiful places on earth, Jarrett is familiar with the territory, growing up working in a nearby mine for a couple years before joining the Marine Corps just after high school. When he and his partner encounter a dubious mine CEO, two ATF agents who they’re tasked to investigate, and a good ‘ol boy who has a pickaxe to grind, all they can hope, is to solve this case before ending up dead and buried in that mine.

From the beaches of California, to the coal-rich mountains of Appalachia, Jarrett’s dubious past seems to rear its ugly head wherever they go. Join our heroes as they are forced to face danger, fear, and maybe the most frightening thing they’ve ever faced together… family.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: This addition to the series delves further into Thayne and Jarrett’s relationship. I enjoyed learning more about both men in this story as I felt I knew them better after finishing the book. 

The added family, mystery and all around past situations were a bonus that had an overall understanding element to the story. The details surrounding the coal mine were intriguing and kept me reading to find out more.

Overall this book is well written and entertaining as all of this author’s books are. I found myself enthralled with the ever going relationship and mysteries that Jarrett and Thayne find themselves in each book. I especially like the smooth transition from one mystery to the next. 

Fantastic series. Highly recommended.

Genre: Contemporary, Crime

Length: Novel (205 pages)

Publisher: Carina Press (May 1st 2017)

Heat Level: Steamy

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: Professionally, the FBI team of Aidan “Irish” Talley and Jameson “Whiskey” Walker is as good as it gets, closing cases faster than any team at the Bureau. Personally, it’s a different story. Aidan’s feelings for Jamie scare the hell out of him: he won’t risk losing another love no matter how heart-tripping the intimacy between them. And loss is a grim reality with the terrorist Renaud still on their trail, leaving a pile of bodies in his wake.

Going undercover on a new case gets them out of town and off the killer’s radar. They’re assigned to investigate an identity theft ring involving a college basketball team in Jamie’s home state, where Jamie’s past makes him perfect for the role of coach. But returning to the court brings more than old memories.

As secrets and shocking betrayals abound, none may be more dangerous than the one Jamie’s been keeping: a secret about the death of Aidan’s husband that could blow his partner’s world apart and destroy forever the fragile bonds of trust and love building between them.

Reviewer: Aerin

Review: Cask Strength is pretty much exactly what I expected considering how the first book ended. I honestly don’t understand why some people expected Aidan and Jamie’s journey to be lean waters when we’ve been told from the blurb and from the final chapter of Single Malt that stormy waters and a rocky road is ahead of them both. And just in case you’re wondering, the big secret that Jamie is keeping from Aidan is still threatening to ruin their relationship. The third and final book in this trilogy will be the most angsty and emotional of them all, but I have complete faith in these two.

Aidan finds it hard to come to terms with his new feelings for Jamie and he’s scared to death of losing the only other person he’s ever loved. Aidan is trying hard to keep things casual with Jamie by going out with other guys; we all know he’s only lying to himself, but I’m ok with temporary self-delusion as long as Aidan finally gets on the love train. With the risk of spoiling this part of the story, I have to assure you that Aidan doesn’t have sex with any of the guys he goes out with! He leads Jamie to believe that he does, and that’s because he’s trying really hard to keep their relationship casual. Aidan lost the love of his life, give this scared, confused guy a break; he’ll come through and make it worth every exasperated moment.

Trying to draw attention away from themselves after terrorist Renaud starts killing all persons of interest in Gabe and Tom’s murder; Aidan and Jamie go undercover on a new case. This brings Jamie up close and personal with the career he loved more than anything and his ex-lover, the one responsible for Jamie giving up on the game he loved so much. You know how sometimes a blast from the past makes you question your decisions and wonder if you made the wrong one? Jamie’s ex might be a beautiful man who wants Jamie back, but even though Aidan leads Jamie to believe things between them will never be serious, Jamie’s heart knows exactly who it wants. For Jamie, Aidan is home.

This book is action packed, much like the first one has been, and the action served as a distraction from the emotional angst. While I loved the first book more than this one, Cask Strength didn’t disappoint. The sexual tension and chemistry between Aidan and Jamie is still there, just as strong as always, especially after Aidan stops being a commitment phobe.

I wish there wasn’t such a long wait until Barrel Proof comes out, because based on how Cask Strength ended, it will either be emotional as fuck or emotional as fuck. Have your pick.

Reviewer: Aerin

Review: I devoured this book and I couldn’t get enough. I like crime shows on TV so this book was right up my alley. I loved everything about it, the plot, the characters, the suspense, the romance… Jesus fuck the romance was exquisite!

I’m an absolute sucker for emotionally damaged characters and for brainiacs who are sexy as hell, and this book gave me the best of both worlds. Jameson “Whiskey” Walker is a hotter than hell brainiac smarty pants hacker extraordinaire. Ex basketball star who gave up his career in order to become an FBI agent, Whiskey is one of the bureau’s best hackers and Aiden Talley’s new partner. Whiskey is ten years Aiden’s junior and he’s been nurturing a crush on Aiden for the past three years, ever since he joined the bureau.

Aiden Talley is a damaged man who’s dead inside after losing both his husband and his partner in a car accident 8 months ago. Recently returning to his job, Aiden finds himself partnered with 30 year old Whiskey, who makes his head spin and makes him want things he shouldn’t. Caught between the strong need to feel alive again and his guilt at betraying his husband’s memory, Aiden is fighting his attraction towards Whiskey, but the need to feel alive is stronger than the guilt.

The chemistry these two have is the real deal; it seriously made the hair stand up on my body. I was sucked into this overwhelming attraction between them and was rooting for them the whole time. I loved that even though there are plenty of things happening and many bad guys to catch, the emotional connection between Aiden and Whiskey was still the main focus of the book, perfectly etched into the plot. And when they finally gave into the chemistry, I forgot all about the bad guys or the fact that there are criminals to catch and bombs to deactivate.

This book was the perfect start to an awesome series, even though Aiden and Whiskey will continue to work toward their happily ever after in the next two books. I’m a fan!
