Title: House Hunt Series: The Power of Zero, #3 Author: Jackie Keswick Genre: Romantic Suspense Length: 300 pages Publisher: Dreamspinner Press (March 30, 2016) Heat Level: Moderate Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts Blurb: Jack Horwood hates owing favors. But when a simple day out to treat Gareth to the best oysters in England leads to a discovery of drugs and counterfeit money—things that neither Jack nor Gareth have the jurisdiction to handle—he has to call in help. Help that doesn’t come cheap, and that forces him to do something he promised himself he’d never do again—walk away from Gareth and the family he’s starting to make for himself.
Three months undercover is a long time. After missing Gareth’s birthday, Jack is determined not to miss their first anniversary. But coming home and being home are two very different things. So when he is asked to assist with a corporate espionage investigation, Jack can’t say no, despite knowing it will impact his already straining relationship.
Review: I am not really sure what brought my attention to this series at first, but I have to say that I am having a blast reading them. Not only are they well written but the plot is one massive hit with me. The characters are fully developed and totally hot. I always did love a man with a gun. I have never really been a fan of mysteries but this is one of those that just pull you in and keep you captivated with them.
I have not read many stories by this author but am glad that I have taken the chance. Both of the guys have a past that seems to get in the way just a bit. Especially with Jack, it would seem that he just can’t say no to anyone.
What would have been a nice dinner out, has ended up with him leaving his family for three months all because he can’t say no. When they find drugs and money, Jack knew he needed help but asking always cost him in the end. He takes a case that has him gone for three months and now that he is back things are not looking up.
Then once again someone ask him for help and it turns out that it is one major trap. He finds his ass in a lot more trouble than he bargained for. It is up to Gareth to save his ass, or at least that is how Gareth sees it. It would seem that Jack has a bit of a tough streak in him. He kicks ass and takes names later, which for me is a big hit. I love these two together.
I had a blast reading this and would definitely recommend it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next story.

Title: Ghost Series: The Power of Zero, #2 Author: Jackie Keswick Genre: Contemporary Length: 112 pages Publisher: Dreamspinner Press (February 10, 2016) Heat Level: Moderate Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts Blurb: Jack Horwood doesn’t do families. Or Christmas. From the time his mother sold him to her pimp to the moment he walked out on the man he loved, Christmas has always been about change and painful choices. This year seems no different. Helping Daniel and Nico recover from their imprisonment and hunting down those responsible puts Jack in a frame of mind he doesn’t want to inflict on anyone. Least of all Gareth and the tentative relationship they’ve started to rebuild.
But Gareth, for whom Christmas is all about new beginnings, won’t let Jack take the easy way out. He makes him face his ghosts instead. Even when said ghosts invade their bedroom.
When Daniel’s parents are found, Jack is determined to settle the matter without involving Daniel at all. But fate decrees otherwise, and it’s Gareth who helps him finally understand that the strongest bonds are those forged together.
Once he gets that, Jack can step up and make a decision designed to lay his ghosts to rest—for good.
Review:Each book in this series focus on one romantic couple and two teenagers, so I would suggest reading book one first. It makes for a more enjoyable read, as well as giving you some background into why the guys do the things they do and why they are the way they are.
Jack doesn’t really do families, because at one time his mother had sold him to her pimp. He had tried to get over it, but after rescuing Daniel and Nico it has come back to the present.
He had also been in the military, but had thought that he was the one responsible for getting Gareth killed. He still has flash backs from it. However he is moving forward the best he can. With Gareth’s help he is looking towards the future. He looks forward to helping Daniel and Nico the most.
When Daniel’s family shows up in the picture he has to find a way to stop them from wrecking another child’s life. Gareth shows him that as a family they can do more together than apart.
When I read the first book I wasn’t really sure if I was into this story as I should have been, but after reading this story I have to say I can’t wait for the next story. I felt so bad for the kids and what they had gone through, and I have to say that it will have you in tears.
Also Jack’s past is horrible and I was surprised that he had been as loving as he was. This story caught my attention from the first and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me almost everything I could want in a story and I would definitely recommend it.
I loved how the characters were fully developed and showed so much heart in them that I was amazed. It felt like I was right there with them while they were going through it all. I enjoyed it so much that I can’t wait to see what other stories this author has out.
I do hope that there is a third book in this series because I want to see where they go from here.
