#Preorder- What Lies Between Us by Maddie Taylor

She played a part for the mission. Falling for him wasn’t in the plan.

Gabriella Flores goes undercover at Devil’s Pointe to find the monsters who stole her sister. She plans deception and prepares for danger. What she finds is entirely unexpected: the one man who awakens something fierce and undeniable inside her. Her pretense is necessary. The fallout is devastating.

Rhys Langston built his life on control and precision, trusting nothing he can’t contain. When Gaby’s cover is blown and her past as a detective comes to light, he’s tempted to walk away—to protect himself. Instead, he steps in. As her partner. Her protector. And, for the sake of the mission, the man she must pretend to belong to.

Forced to work side by side, they follow the last fragile trail that may lead to Gaby’s sister—posing as something far more intimate than either anticipated. Every shared risk, every calculated touch draws them closer, blurring the line between cover and truth.

As the hunt closes in on a powerful enemy who plays for keeps, Gaby and Rhys must rely on the very bond that shouldn’t exist. Because when everything is on the line, it isn’t the truth that threatens to break them—it’s what lies between them.

#releaseday – Hide and Seek, Titan Protectors book 1 by Cristin Harbor

He’s a protector with nothing left to lose. She’s a survivor with everything to fear. Together, they’re a target.

Callum Hale doesn’t do second chances. A former Army Ranger cast out for breaking orders, he’s built his new life protecting clients who can’t protect themselves. But when he’s assigned to Grace Willoughby—a quiet illustrator hiding from the abusive ex-husband who refuses to let her go—Callum’s ironclad control fractures. Protecting her isn’t just a mission. It’s personal.

Grace has rebuilt her life from the ashes, but safety has always been an illusion. The closer she gets to Callum, her older brother’s best friend, the more she realizes he’s not just a shield against her past—he’s the first man she dares to trust. And the one man she can’t afford to lose.

When a brutal abduction shatters their fragile peace, Callum races against the clock to track Grace’s captors. Enemies circle closer, secrets inside Titan threaten to explode, and Callum must decide how much of his heart he’s willing to risk. Because falling for Grace may be the one line of duty that costs them both everything.

Perfect for fans of military romance, this pulse-pounding romantic suspense launches Cristin Harber’s brand-new Titan Protectors series—where loyalty is unbreakable, love is dangerous, and trust is the ultimate risk.

#newrelease – Guilty Silence (Silence, #3) by Freya Barker

Bess Choi is proud of what she’s accomplished. Owner of Strange Brew, a popular coffee shop in Silence, she’s worked hard and has overcome many obstacles to build the life she has. It’s a good life, one that includes work she loves, an apartment to call her own, and plenty of good friends.

But an unexpected phone call comes as a brutal reminder of a time she thought she’d left far behind. Suddenly, she’s faced with the choice to turn her back on the beautiful life she created, or break her guilty silence.

Chief Deputy Hugo Alexander isn’t sure when exactly he started seeing the quiet coffee shop owner as more than simply a good friend. It’s hard to pinpoint the moment when she went from a supportive friend to him and his teenage son, to the woman who features in his dreams and fantasies.

Unfortunately, Bess Choi seems to have him firmly locked in the friend zone, and it’s not until worrisome things start happening around her, she cautiously starts lowering the barriers.

But when he discovers she might be in far more danger than she’s been willing to let on, he’s done tiptoeing around.

#WOTR26 – #NewRelease – Protected from Villainy (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (Blade and Arrow Shadow Team Book 2) by: Gia Cobie

As soon as I heard the news, I knew it had to be wrong.

Bea? A killer? Impossible.

Not the sweet therapist who gently bullied me into recovery and never gave up on me, no matter how grouchy I was. She believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. And I wouldn’t be where I am now without her.

Helping Bea means breaking the law. It means asking my Blade and Arrow teammates to risk their freedom, if we’re caught. But the idea of leaving Bea on her own is unthinkable. So, with my friends’ help, we race to stage a daring rescue before it’s too late.

I woke up from one nightmare only to be thrust into another.

First witness to a horrific crime; now accused of being the one who did it.

On top of that, my protector is a man I never expected to see again. I thought about Indy from time to time—wondering, worrying, even toying with the idea of checking up on him. But I never, ever imagined I’d wake up on the other side of the country after he abducted me.

I want to be angry with him for what he did, even though he claims he’s just trying to help me. But it’s really hard to stay mad at Indy when he’s the only one who makes me feel safe.

Protected from Villainy features a wounded warrior hero, a sweet and strong heroine with struggles of her own, forced proximity, found family, a security team of Army veterans, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. Can be read as a standalone and an HEA guaranteed!

Amazon

Goodreads

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book in the series.  I wanted to know more about Indy after the first book. Let me tell you this book did not let me down. 

Bea was Indy’s therapist when he was recovering from his injury. Bea was framed for the murder of her friend and fellow therapist. When Indy heard the news, he knew there was no way she could have killed anyone. Indy and the guys kidnap Bea from the hospital to give them time to prove her innocence.

I am enjoying seeing the Shadow Team working together with one another and the other series teams. I loved how Bea could see the real Indy and did everything she could to get him to see how amazing he is. I adore Bea she is such a sweetheart and the fact she likes to bake to relieve her stress makes me love her more. Watching Bea and Indy’s relationship change and grow was so wonderful. There is so much personality in this book between Bea, Indy and the team. I loved the banter between them all. There is suspense and action where I was trying to figure out who and why her friend was murdered throughout the book.

Gia Cobie is an Amazon best-selling and award-winning author living in upstate New York with her husband and pets. She loves writing about protective heroes and the strong women they fall in love with.

In her spare time (when she has any!), Gia enjoys reading and spending time in the Adirondacks, and also has a weakness for reality romance shows, wine, and buying way too many books!

Reviewed by Twinsie Tenise

By the end of part 1, I was intrigued.
By the end of part 2, I was confused.
By the end of part 3, I was beyond addicted.
By the end of part 4, I wondered how long it would take me to recover from this masterly crafted tale.
There was a whole lot to unpack here and I fear too many words from me could very well ruin the experience for the reader. If you believe– even just a little– in soul mates and the possibility of finding that same soul in every lifetime, READ THIS BOOK! Even if you don’t, give it a shot, Emmy may make a believer out of you.
