Trident Security Field Manual Vol. 1
Samantha A Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is THE BEST! It is the ultimate, who’s who of Trident Security and partners, making it so much easier to navigate what is fast becoming a crazy hot company. Because there is no story per stay, it is more facts and figures of the ones we have fallen in love with over the years.
The questions and answers was hands down the best and funniest part of the whole book. Getting down and dirty with questions asked by Samantha’s own Sexy Six Pack Facebook group. It was a very entertaining read.
The bonus stories were excellent too. Although I’ve read the, all previously but they were as hot and steamy second time round. I’m still hanging for Jenn and Doug’s Story, it’s gonna be as funny as it will be drama.
Well done. S Cole, you have once again stunned and sucked us back into Trident world.

If you're a fan of Samantha Cole and her Trident Security series, this is a must have!! You get the facts on all the characters which helps when reading the stories they are in. The question and answer section is just awesome and some parts are funny as all get out! Samantha also included the short stories for some of the characters so her readers can see what is going on in their lives. One short story will be setting up a future book and I can wait to read that one!!! I highly recommend this "Field Manual"

OMG....yummmmmm....I could totally leave it there, but I will be nice and won't!!
I absolutely LOVED this. I am so happy Samantha thought of this idea and ran with it. The Trident series is awesome and this addition makes it even better. It was great to have all the characters summed up and on one list so that you can remember all the amazing characters and their stories. It was such a trip down memory lane! I will even confess, I may have gone and re-read the series after reading this....
There is a really cute Q&A with the characters which is just so amazing. You get great inside to the characters, that you normally don't see from authors. The questions are great and the responses are even better. The additional short stories Samantha has written about the characters are also included, and we get a great new glimpse at Dan and Jen's future story (so can't wait).
Definitely a must read, but make sure to have read the entire series beforehand, if not there will be WAY too many spoilers.

Brilliant little gem for keeping the Sexy Six Pack and their friends/family and of course T Carter in order! With little nuggets of info over the boys favourite ice cream, etc and a collection of little stories which give a little behind the curtain information to the books in the series.
Questions from readers are answered by the author (and some of the characters) & there is a load of good fun to be had. I would definitely read this after reading the stories so you don't blow the surprise but it is also a great add on for those of us who have read the books and need to keep things fresh in the memory. There is even a map to help me keep what building is where in the old mind!
Now waiting on tenterhooks for Jenn and Doug's story. I'm just wondering if they can get a HEA before her "uncles" break Doug's legs!!!

This is a companion to Samantha Cole’s Trident Security books, but if you happen upon it without having read those, it should tempt you to start. For those of us who are avid TS followers (addicts?), it is an absolute gem of a book. It has a history of the group and the club; details on the characters; a brilliant Q&A section (Ian will have to learn to stop swearing!); five short stories that are not in the books (two with my favorites Jake and Nick!), one of which hasn’t been seen before and features Doug and Jenn (yes, at last! But no, not together yet); and family trees – useful when the series is growing as it is! It’s exactly what it claims to be – a field manual – and it’s one you’ll want to have for reference.
November 12, 2018
A must have book for any reader who loves the books by Samantha A. Cole!!! I wish more authors that write Series books would publish a book like this that gives info and background on all the characters in all the books he/she has written. I enjoy reading Samantha's books but sometimes come across a character that was in a previous book and I find myself trying to remember what I "should" already know. This book allows me to enjoy each new book and still immediately look up everything about a character so I can proceed with enjoying the storyline.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.

So let me just say that I freaking love the TS series and everyone in it !!! This field manual is all I could have asked for except for Jenn and Doug’s full story , which hopefully we will get at a later date , I love that we see all the guys and girls snark and playfulness come out in the Q&A segment in this and the short stories where we get to see an extended HEA made my heart happy for those couples ! If your a fan of this series , although ok not sure how your couldn’t be , then your going to want to catch up with the guy and ladies and see what’s been happening since we last saw them !!!

As an addict of the Trident Security series, the characters feel like family to me. The idea to bring together family trees and in-depth who’s who, a laugh out loud q&a session and a few short tantalising stories, is beyond brilliance and it proved to be a very entertaining read. It certainly got the clogs working in my forgetful brain, with the character history and connections. If you are new to this series, this will wet your appetite to jump into books as the short stories included will make you want to find out more about this brilliant cast of characters and their stories. Highly recommend!
November 12, 2018
The perfect way to make sure you have not missing anything in each of the interconnected series. With family trees. a hilarious Q & A, as well as the breakdown of who is who, character by character and story by story. An additional section of book shorts that take the reader on small but powerful journeys is the icing on the cake. One book that will put everything in their place and aid anyone who is new to the collections. A definite must have for all those things Trident and Covenant related with all of the spin-offs.
November 17, 2018
This a must for any fans of the Trident + series, it contains a fun Q & A of some of the characters that has you chuckling while reading. A few short stories starring a few fav characters and of course the who's who of all of them. Plus to top it off the family trees. This helps you keep check on who everyone is and how they fit in with Trident and the Covenant, I really enjoyed not just reading the Q & A and short stories but being reminded why I love the books from the main series and the tag on's. Well worth having and keeping.

If you’ve read the rest of the series up to this point, this is a great little collection of short stories & a fun little interview “Samantha” does with the characters. It did somewhat feel needed if you’ve been following Samantha‘s reading order on her website. Because Jake’s marriage, Brody’s marriage, Brody’s surprise, & Parker & Shelby’s growing family were mentioned in a previous book and it took me by surprise. But these short stories go back and explain all the growth that’s been occurring “behind the scenes”.

Pure genius
I totally loved this book. I don't think there was one bit I didn't enjoy. My most favourite bit though would have to be the short stories. I loved seeing some of the gang again. However, my most favourite one has to be Jenn's story. I need that book like today.
The Q&A was really interesting. I loved the dynamics of the characters coming through.
I can't wait to see what Samantha adds to the book as it grows.

Very few series deserve companion books, however, the Trident security series companion guide is a total gem. For those who have read and followed Samantha for a while, this gives an insight into some much-loved characters as well as short stories and a very in depth character Q and A. WHile I would not wholly recommend this book to those who haven't read any of her previous novels ( due to spoilers), I would say this is a must-have for fans and followers of the Trident Security Novels.

Great reference to the series
Gives better insight to Trident Secuirty 's men and there significant others. Having a map of the complex, made it easier to understand where the bulidings were located. I just wish I had the hard copy of this book. Easier to use when needed for reference , while reading other books. Love that this series has pit bull type dogs in it. They can be huge babies, just like big tough military men.

Loved It!!
I truly loved learning a little about everyone at Trident. The little short stories were cute and just what I want to know about the different characters. This was an excellent idea, maybe another time we can have other little short stories about the team.
Until Next Time... Tabi

Great read!!
I loved this collection of interviews and short stories. It was great getting to know the characters more in depth. But I have to say Samantha, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write a book about Jenn and Doug!! They have to get together!! On to the next book in the series.

Fantastic
Please can I give this more than five stars? This book is utterly brilliant. Please don't read if you haven't read the previous books as it contains spoilers. I loved the short stories. They just tied up some of the books. The q and a was fantastic and so funny. I really can't recommend this book highly enough if you are following the reading order

After reading most of the books in these series, it was nice to have all of this info in one place. My favorite part of the book was the Q & A section. I felt it helped me to know the characters even better.
November 9, 2018
I love the Trident Security series so this field manual was a must have for me. It is chock full of extras and goodies about my favorites and I loved it. The Q & A was probably my favorite part, but the whole thing is amazing.
November 11, 2018
I thought this was a great book. Being a huge fan of the series, I enjoyed the Q&A session and the short stories of some of the characters. All packaged in one book you won’t go wrong with this one! Plenty of steamy chemistry and alpha males! Love it all.

Learning More
I love learning more about the Trident team, spouses and others. The short stories always bring me closer to the characters. Getting more insights into the characters make rereading and future novels more personal.

This is a great collection of information and short stories all about our Trident Security characters. It just gives all of us fans a little glimpse further into their lives. I loved the short story with Doug and Jenn. Can't wait to see how their story will play out in the future. 5/5 stars
