It's sad to think that this is the final book in Bellann Summer's 'Rescue for Hire' series. She branched off and created a 'Rescue for Hire West' that is located in Nevada and of course I'm jazzed about that, but I'll miss these original members of the team. I've had such fun getting to know them all… Cade, Bret, Jack, Pip, Treble, Damian, Tony, Shane, Alex, Leo, Gabriel, Pete, Rock, Brad, Boone, Flynn, Ruger, and Spencer. Now I'm going to get to experience the final couple in this chapter, Shadow and Pen.
Shadow was a member of Ruger's former military ops team, and he is his name. Essentially. He's a ghost. You don't see him and then you're dead. He has mad skills locked behind a wall of stone. Pen is a reporter who recently moved to Granite City in hopes of tracking down the crazed serial killer who murdered his brother. Now I'm not going to get detailed with this kidnapper case although Cade and his team are very actively involved. I would be spoiling this for everyone if I did. Cade knows full well who Pen is and why he's in Granite City. Unfortunately there's information that Cade can't give to Pen to explain why he needs a bodyguard after what Pen assumes is an attempted mugging.
Imagine Pen's surprise when the bodyguard shows up and it's Shadow, the guy who spent long hours the night before having sex with Pen but was gone this morning when Pen woke up. Shadow is equally surprised because Cade didn't tell him the nickname of the guy he is guarding. Oh Cade. I think you might be turning into a little matchmaker. Cade and the sheriff have their fingers in a few pies and are juggling a handful of issues to try to get to the bottom of this case and ferret out the leak. I just worry about what's going to happen when Pen finds out the truth. He has a wicked temper and a lot of snark.
Loved this final book. It was everything I hoped it would be. Shadow and Pen are perfect, and I got to see more of the rest of the guys and their partners. I will miss this team but maybe one or two of them will show up now and again in the spin-off. Oh and Bellann, thank you for the nice segue into Rescue for Hire West. *grins*

Ugh. What is with people that can't hold a grudge just because of a touch or a look? If you're pissed, you're pissed. STAY PISSED until it's resolved.
If I were Pen I would be have been so upset with Shadow (and the rest of the Rescue team).
Mr. Shadow is supposed to be this high and mighty operative, yet he dismisses something so out of place. Not cool.
This was one of the better ones though. I liked the storyline.

This particular book in this series is my absolute favorite. I love Shadow with his quiet strength and 'Domness'. Pen is an awesome character with a huge heart. Definitely rec this whole series but LOVED this one!

. 5 lgbtq+ friendly lots of spice with great continuation from other book but could be read as stand alone. Great build on new characters and story line.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

this writer has a very queer fascination with three finger prep and big dicks. every book thus far with this being no. 10 there is much 3finger prep work . I've yet to get a clear image of the MC of any of the books, I think shadow is black, tall. apparently sex was good then bam!!!! tied UP but that scene was unclear and can't care enough to dredge up the scenario. been a lackluster day reading lackluster books. gaps in the story, the commitment tattoo honestly got old after the third trip to the tat parlor. might have enjoyed this one if author would commit to expanding the bdsm aspect.

Darker, more intense than previous installments in the series
I’m not sure why, but the opening of the book with Drew had me confused. I read it 3 times to get it to make sense to me. Maybe I was just tired.
Shadow was very forceful male. I think more so than Ruger.
This was a darker read in the series, but I still enjoyed the story line. While not coming out and saying it in so many words, the relationships are clearly D/S. All in all I enjoyed the series.

Approx 94 pages of story. Shadow and Pen's story. Pen's brother was one of the last killed by the kidnapper who also kidnapped Spencer in previous linked series book.
Crazy Angle Ranch, Rescue for Hire, Granite County and Rescue for Hire West are all connected.
