Opening on the modern-day site of the Saratoga battlefields and culminating in DC, the story of Max and Violet is one of romantic suspense, healthy doses of spice, love, and brotherhood.
Violet finds herself inadvertently swept up in a deadly mystery, one she needs help to save herself from.
Lucky for her, help arrives in the form of a very capable, tall, dark, and handsome friend of a friend.
Max will always have his former commanding officer’s back. When a mission goes bad and he opts to recuperate at Lake George, the last thing he expects is a late-night distress call to save a woman close by.
Together, Max and Violet race to solve the intrigue Violet is caught up in before it’s too late.
With a murderer hot on their heels, they find love, passion, and friendship, but they’ll have to work together to escape with their lives.
I liked this book for the adventure and the romance. This is a very steamy romance novel. If you are into romance novels, then you will like the book. It has a nice ending too!
This captivating novel, brimming with suspense and romance, will enthrall readers who delight in tales of love, loyalty, and daring escapades. It is a literary masterpiece that seamlessly blends action, mystery, and heart-pounding thrills with a generous dose of passion and unwavering friendship.
Prepare to be swept away by a story that delves deep into the complexities of human relationships, where trust and betrayal dance a delicate tango, and where the boundaries between love and danger blur into oblivion. With every turn of the page, you will be drawn further into a world where secrets lurk in the shadows, and where the pursuit of truth becomes a perilous adventure.
For those who crave a story that will keep them on the edge of their seats, this book is an absolute must-read. It is a testament to the power of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unyielding bonds of friendship that can withstand even the most formidable challenges.
This was such a fun and spicy read with just the right touch of suspense. It kind of felt like a modern-day Goldilocks—only Violet’s got Alpha males as her protectors instead of bears. After a blind date and an exclusive party with some shady DC big shots, Violet finds herself in serious danger. She barely escapes and reaches out to her friend Luke, a former Marine Special Forces leader, who brings in his old teammate Max to protect her.
I really enjoyed the dynamic between Violet and Max. There’s definitely tension (the good kind!), and their chemistry builds as they try to stay ahead of whoever’s targeting her. It had me flipping pages late into the night.
This is the first in a series, and I’m already excited to see what’s next—especially how the rest of the team adjusts to life after the military and who the next leading lady will be.
Thank you to NetGalley and Atmosphere Press for the free advanced copy. I’m leaving this review voluntarily.
This book was too much too soon. It was insta-love but because of the situation didn’t feel real. I think the author mixed up tropes, since some lines sounded more like something a supernatural being would say.
It is a fast paced book with dual POV that sometimes is not easy to distinguish since both main characters have very similar "voices". The book’s idea -the political schemes, the action, a reporter being involved- was great and it had so much potential but the execution wasn’t done correctly.
I appreciate the opportunity of reading this ARC. Thank you, Amy and Netgalley.
This was a great action packed romance! You have Vi who seems to have been having bad luck times ten lately and Max who is determined to wallow in his depression after having lost his brother Alex. When Vi ends up in a whole bunch of trouble Luke calls Max to help get Vi to safety, which turns out to be harder than they thought. Will everyone make it out okay and will Luke protect his family? I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This read in 3rd POV AND it took me a few pages to get used to it. This was a good and fast read with plot and spice. Since this was a short book there was that instant love feel to it. Overall, it was a good palette cleanse for me and I had fun with it.
Thank you Amy for the copy in return for my honest review!✨🫶🏼
Boy did this book keep me hooked!! From the suspense of the almost immediate scare to the jaw dropping scenes, WOW. Every time I set the book down I was left wanting more. Looking forward to reading the holiday novella and about every other marine in the family!!
I loved reading the adventures of Violet, Max, and the dog, Blitz! The book had both suspense and romance. It was the perfect book for a cold, rainy afternoon. I will definitely look for more from this author.
This book was so fun. I agree with another review I saw somewhere that said it’s a spicy political thriller. It’s a fast read, and makes me excited for the next in the series!
I enjoyed this book! I fell in love with the characters. It’s spicy! Wish there was more explanation and just more in general but I’m very excited to read the rest of the series.
A truly special love story. I really liked the characters and the book. The writing style was also really great. Thanks to NetGalley and the Atmosphere Press Puplishing and Amy Cole.
