Never Underestimate the Power of F*ck It
It’s the motto I live by, and it’s what made me the Navy SEAL I am today. I’ve learned the less you care, the better. But when I wake up in a hospital in India with no memory of the last few months, I’m at a loss. Everything points to me being involved with some dangerous people.

Three books featuring three deliciously dirty SEAL’s and three ladies who discover a fondness for the less-vanilla end of the bedroom antics scale make up this series, and taking us to destinations full of heat in more ways than one, there’s no scrimping on said antics.

A danger and heat-filled adventure…
I have loved every book I have read by this author and these stand-alone reads (yet connected) were just what I hoped for!
Liam was cocky with a great sense of humour which balanced his SEAL persona perfectly. Considering the trouble he and Charlotte found themselves in, he was James Bond-like in his confidence and certainty that it would all work out. Is that attractive? Oh my stars, YES!
Charlotte was a wonderful counter-balance to Liam’s off the cuff approach ...more

*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
Let me first start by mentioning that I didn't know this was part of a series. When I originally read the blurb, it seemed as though this was going to be a standalone (which totally still reads as one), but it turns out that this is most likely the final installment in the trilogy.
Charlotte is a control freak. No, seriously...she has to be in control of just about everything. Which is why she's always the go-to person when ...more

DNF I didn't like the premises, and that it was a third book in connectable series. I was confused and i hate that. i think if i had read the other books in the series it would have been ok.

Liam may come off as if he doesn't care, and it could be true, or maybe it's just a facade to protect himself. Who knows? Maybe we never will. But the one thing we do is that he will do anything to protect those he cares about, including his little sister's best friend, Charlotte.
Yes, he's wanted her for a while, and they did act on it once, but he knows he should stay away. However, when she's kidnapped, mistaken for his sister, McKenzie, he will stop at nothing to rescue her. That's after he a ...more

Incredible ending to this fantastic series! I have been waiting for Liam's story and I loved it! With Charlotte the responsible list maker, let's get it done girl home running the business while her two besties are off with their men; Charlotte is kidnapped, a case of mistaken identity. She wakes up in Mexico. Liam is presumed dead and has been living in India with the Dr who as been helping him recover and regain some of his lost memory. He still has a span of months prior to the explosion that

So we finally got Liam's story and we have been waiting a while. I implore you to start from the beginning with Mckenzie's book to get the whole story and to know who is who. Liam has been thought of as dead and he left behind a necklace and a bucket list, and so McKenzie (his sister) has been living thru him so she can feel closer and ends up finding danger. Then we have in the second book his best friend Walker and Gemma looking for clues trying to clear his name because all sort of info came

Liam woke from a coma in India. He barely remembers who he is, never mind what he may or may not have done.
But when a news article kickstarts his faulty memory, he begins an adventure he's not sure he can finish. His motto may be "Do not underestimate the power of "fuck It" but somethings need more consideration - like the damage a certain female could do to his heart!
Charlotte thought losing Liam after their one night stand was bad enough but now she is the subject of misidentification and she ...more

When Liam awakens from his coma all he knows is that not only did everyone think he was a traitor, but they thought he was dead as well. When he realizes that Charlotte, his sister’s best friend and his one night stand, has been kidnapped his next mission is to rescue Charlotte and regain his memory.
Charlotte has always been attracted to Liam but when he avoided her after their night together she believed that was all they would ever have as she believes that he has passed away. It will take all ...more

First, let’s fangirl the fact that our lady Brynley is back at it!!! Now let’s give praise where it is oh so due. Liam is the perfectly flawed man that makes us swoon. He’s lived life by a ethos that as served him well. Even in his current predicament, he will will out as it were. Now if only he could have the foggiest idea what’s going on that would be fantastic. When his kid sister's bestie Charlotte is kidnapped, it seems it’s not only himself he needs to get out of a jam. Charlotte is boiste

This is the third book in the Phoenix rising series. I haven’t read the other books and I was able to follow the plot easily. It seems to me that each book in the series is a standalone and can be read without having to read the others.
I love a good contemporary romance with a hot, muscular and smart hero with a pretty, smart , and sassy mouth heroine. The reader will get all that and more with this book. I loved that this book was funny, fast paced ...more

Book 3 in the Phoenix Rising series, while each book can be read as a standalone, with the mystery underlying the entire series and crossover mentions of events and characters (though with only relatively brief appearances of those characters), for the best experience I’d highly recommend reading the series in order.

Wow, I was really sad for this book to be over. I really enjoyed it.
I really liked Liam in this book. He had so many sides to him that I enjoyed. He is a NAVY SEAL who after waking from a coma finds that he needs to clear his name. Problem is, he doesn't remember what happened. This man goes above and beyond to protect everyone that he holds dear. He carries himself as a leader and isn't afraid to take risks.

First, I have to mention that Resurgent by Brynley Blake was kindly provided by publisher via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. So I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Charlotte Windsor likes to plan everything, from the most minute details of her personal life to the elaborate weddings she pulls off for her clients. Scarred by her past, staying in control makes her feel safe. Besides, the only thing in her life she didn’t plan—an explosively erotic one-night stand with daredevil playboy and Navy SEAL heartthrob Liam Prescott—resulted in heartbreak. He’d disappeared without a word, and six months later he was dead. But in the blink of an eye, Charlotte’s perfe

Action, romance, a Navy SEAL, intrigue, betrayal, memory loss and a girl with a plan. This is a cute read that does not stop. The characters and storyline are always moving and answering questions while finding new obstacles. The memory loss and intrigue create an interesting opportunity where Liam and Charlie must work together and by doing so learn more about each other.
The scenes are steamy and the characters are well developed. Even the side characters were vivid and engaging. The doctor in ...more

Resurgent is a steamy, action & adventure, romantic suspense story that got my attention from the page. You have two people who very much like to be in control and do things their way. There is an intense and undeniable chemistry between them. During their time together, Liam shows Charlotte how to let go, live a little, and have fun. Charlotte in return teaches him that he doesn’t have to always do it all alone and to trust the people he loves. Wonderful characters, gre ...more

I loved it! It is such a well-written book and has some amazing characters. Charlotte is a control freak who has a ten years plan. Her life is going exactly the way she wants it to. Unlike her two best friends she isn't willing to take risks or fall in love. Men don't have a place in her perfectly planned out existence at least, not until she is ready. But that doesn't mena that she couldn't have a crush on her friend's brother. Liam is every woman's dream come true. The only problem is that jus

I've been waiting a long time for this book. RENEGADE and ROGUE were both wonderful 5 star reads. But, the story that ties them together had me hooked. And this book brought the conclusion. It also brought a great new BBF. Liam is wonderful. A sense of humor and maybe the best mantra ever. Charlotte is a terrific partner. A real smartass. A girl who never gives a thought to dumbing herself down. No real angst here either, a pleasant change. HEAs for everyone. This was an a ...more

I enjoyed this book but found that it was the third book in the series and kind of wished that I would have read the first 2 books prior to this one. It is probably considered a stand alone since the author did a good job of referring back to the prior books so it wasn't absolutely necessary to have read them. I just prefer to have the whole back story when reading a book.

Liam likes to drive his woman up the wall, "only the best for my baby,” he says with a wink, reminding me we have a role to play. “How about a kiss?” Liam needs help in the wooing department, "...well… other than just for pleasure. There’s always room for that. So your virtue’s safe.” He looks over at me and grins wickedly. “Unless, of course, you’re game for some no-strings-attached ***.” Liam likes to keeo things hostage, "...I reach for my underwear, but he beats me to, scooping it off the fl

Charlotte and Liam on paper are total opposites. But like magnet to steel they are seriously attracted to each other. After spending one very hot night together they are separated. Later they are back together as danger lurks around every corner. With the heat still sizzling they have to rely on each other to survive the many perils that surround them. The action in the bedroom is off the charts. They get the danger off their back and are able to begin the real adventure of life together. Excell
