Major Caroline Gerard returns from a dangerous mission battered and bruised. Terrified to confront the emotional and physical gap between her and her husband, she’s determined to do whatever it takes to avoid reality.

Commander Jack McIntyre has been tasked with saving American democracy, but he has to save his marriage first. He’s desperate to regain the passionate connection that he and his wife once shared. And a man on a mission will sacrifice anything to succeed.

In the meantime, the rebellion is in need of a catalyst to spur international action to stop President Santos’ increasingly unstable behavior. As Caroline and Jack repair their hearts, each day brings new secrets and new challenges, and a revelation that could shatter everything they thought was true.

Rhapsody is the fifth book in The Bellator Saga. It should be read after the first four books in the series.

Manchester Marauders offensive lineman Jason Stafford has everything going for him until he is blindsided by a calculating woman who names him as the father of her unborn child. Unsure of the validity of her claim, he treads carefully, despite being willing to accept responsibility.

Maude Killion, the younger sister of one of Jason’s teammates, has been sidelined by a crush on Jason. Determined to revise her game plan, Maude asserts her independence from her overprotective brother and a controlling boyfriend.

While working on a charity project, Maude and Jason discover they play well together. But when Maude becomes the victim of a malicious foe, it appears that another player has entered the game—one with deadly intentions who will stop at nothing to win.

Now, Maude and Jason must join forces to defeat their opponent and score a victory for love.

 Barely able to keep up with his long strides, Maude followed him down the corridor to an old gym. No overhead lights, along with the gray skies, kept the room dark.

Which might have been a good thing, because her mind blanked the moment Jason shoved her against the wall and kissed her.

In shock, she took a moment to catch up with his hungry lips before shoving against his chest. “What are you doing? What is this?”

He smiled his wicked playboy smile and drew her lower body against his own. “Gratitude.”

“Gratitude for what?” Maude drew a deep breath, fighting past whatever blocked her throat and caused her heart to thunder.

He tucked her hair behind her ear. “For listening to me the other night.”

“I didn’t mind. I don’t want gratitude from you. I want…I don’t know, because I can’t believe this is real. You kissing me isn’t doing anything but confusing me.” She stepped out of his arms. “Plus, you came with Ariel.”

“I didn’t leave with her.”

“Oh, that’s a great line, one I’m sure you’ve used often, but with me…no. Just no. I don’t do lines, and I don’t do grateful kisses.”

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

EEEP!!  When we first meet Maude we can SEE her massive crush on her brother’s team mate, Jason.  We can KINDA see he likes her but is it for the ego stroke or more??  I loved watching their banter back and forth which also hid some fireworks both were letting off.

Jason is a PLAYER!!  I mean to the 100^th degree.  He is with a different girl every day and even two in a day.  He is happy with his life and his “take it or leave it but I don’t go back for 2^nd” life.  His life hits a snag when his “hit it and quit it” regular Ariel says she is preggo.  This puts Jason in a tail spin and he starts to prioritize his life.

Maude is all career woman now.  She is taking steps away from her crush of Jason by dating, unsuccefully, Brady.  She is going to move on with her life and let her desire for him go since he is never going to see her as more than just Owen’s little sister.  When she comes home from the beginning of the ending for her and Brady she sits and talks with Jason.  He spills his life drama to the one woman who won’t judge.  This is the one woman who loves him no matter what.  This is the one woman who will be and has been his rock.  It all clicks together for Jason…he needs Maude. PERIOD.

Jason and Maude begin to navigate dating while dealing with Owen, her big over protective brother AND Ariel, Jason’s baby mama, PLUS Maude’s ex Brady.  But when “things” begin to happen to Maude, plus Jason’s family crisis’ get worse, they both are spinning.  They don’t know what to do except hold on tighter to each other!!

The one thing I love about these books are the theme of family but I also love the suspense/mystery of the novels.  The “who done it” of the books are always great reads.  I am super excited for the next book because I am dying to know who Clayton is falling for!!

How I have been waiting for more of these shifters and Hunter. After Hunter outed himself as a shifter to save Jill he had to return home to face the music.  Emily Snodgrass is home from college and takes over the shop with her sister.

Hunter returned home to face the consequence of what he did. Only realizing things are not as quiet as they were when he left.  Because of him others think Garrett is weak and cannot control his pack so they can come in and take over. Hunter knows all eyes are on him and most want him to be punished. However, Garrett as something else to say about that.

Everyone is watching Hunter but no one more than Emily Snodgrass. She has had eyes for him since high school when he was literally scared into taking her to Prom. Hunter has denied his inner wolf for years but the time has come he can no longer fight him. Can Emily look past everything Hunter has done or not.

OH and did I tell you Steve,  Slade and Jill play a part in this story.  Steve is just Steve and cracked me up. Slade Hottie McHottie was fabulous as always and Jill well I loved that she was able to put these wolves in their place.  I loved when they all got together and let their personalities fly.  This was a great read and I enjoyed the side stories as well as the plot.  Although I did enjoy seeing Steve get a chewing from Garrett for his “friendship” with a certain wolf. I cannot wait for more of these shifters and I hope we see more cross over with the Protector Series too.
