Maltisse File

The Rider Files #4

by C.B. Samet

She's a computer hacker with an agenda. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. An international criminal has targeted them both. Claire Maltisse, computer hacker extraordinaire, is accustomed to playing dangerous games ... online. But her work as part of the Rider team thrusts her into the forefront of physical danger. When she's targeted for extermination by the Titan private security team, she must forge unlikely allies and rely on her own savvy skills to bring down the enemy. But her life and her heart are on the line. Drake joined Titan security undercover to gain acting experience for upcoming Hollywood roles. Never did he imagine he'd find himself working for a deadly team of ex-military moving drugs, guns, and women. Determined to right his wrongs, he helps the Rider team and Claire devise a plan against the malicious Titan team. In his struggle to find his place among the battlefield, he finds he's losing himself to the quirky computer genius, Claire. And maybe if he survives the clash of companies, it'll be worth it.

[H.M. Gooden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book and the way it brought the character from the background into the forefront. Maybe I’ve seen too much tv because I was totally picturing Garcia from criminal minds as baby girl, and her handsome rescuer as Shemar. Romantic suspense at its best!

This is the fourth book in The Rider Files Series, a Romantic Suspense. I loved Claire and Drake's story. This is a great addition to the Series. They are both amazing characters. The storyline is action packed, and suspenseful, filled with twists and turns. Seth Thompson did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it.

The wrap up was... disappointing. The rest was enjoyable

[Anne Blyth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two Security teams, one with evil intent and the other determined to stop them. Drake started on the wrong team, now can he keep Claire safe as he works for the side of good.

It’s the Geek Girl’s time to shine...

Claire the hacker, the computer whiz, the gamer not only comes up with some 007 type crime fighting hacks, she gets the guy. Drake may not be ex-military or law enforcement but he sure looks the part. With his stuntman’s skills, some smart thinking on the fly and “actor” confidence hopefully he can make up for earlier errorsand impress Claire’s family of choice.

The whole Rider SI team has to come together in their attempt to finally take down baddie Lucius Titan. Sometimes what we see them doing is not what’s going on, so we get some happy surprises. The plotting and planning is played out rather than explained which makes reading this book sort of like watching a movie while you read, love that. The romance is subtle and Maxine Rider along with Claire has a guy courting her affections.

This story has been building through previous books so it is big and fun and exciting and a cool ride, don’t miss it.

I received this book as part of an ARC review. There is a lot of action in this book with some romance. Claire and Drake break up when she finds out he works for Titan Enterprises. When Drake finds out Claire is in danger he goes to her place but it's too late. Claire has been kidnapped to pump her for information on Rider SI. Drake manages to rescue her before she is tortured and the master plan to destroy Lucius Titan is started. It takes multiple plays where the assassination attempts against the Rider SI team are thwarted and information collected is used to take down Lucius. While Maxine wants him sent to jail, he does receive justice in form from one he abused and used as well. The good guys win and the book ends with happy endings for Rider SI people which includes Drake who Maxine hired during the sting.

This fourth book in the Rider Files series by CB Samet was another entertaining suspense and action-filled story of love, revenge, and betrayal, as Rider Security battles against its rival, Titan. The stakes are high and there are no rules to the game between these two security firm giants, and only one can win in the end. The story moves smoothly along from the first attention-grabbing pages through to the last ones. There was also a developing love story between several of the major characters in the book, whether they like it or not, and whether they are ready to accept it or not. I hope the author continues to make this a most enjoyable series. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Hidden Gems Books.

[Debbie Caswell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great book in this stunning series While each book can be read as a separate story there is an underlying story so I would highly recommend reading them all in order to get the full impact

Claire is a computer hacker who is also a whizz at games and other computer stuff she is the one that will crack this case For once our hero isn't ex military able to kill with a single finger No our hero is a stunt man with the swagger of an actor He is drawn into a world that is totally new to him . Will they survive together and with the help of the earlier couples will they finally bring Lucius Titan to justice You will have to read to see

I love this series and really liked this book. Claire finally gets her story and it is a wild ride. It starts out with a bang and just gets better as Max and the rest of Rider team get together to guard Claire and serve payback. I love seeing all my favorite characters from the previous books kick butt. The story was well written and made me laugh a lot. But it kept me reading it all in one sitting just like the rest of the series. Just a great addition to this series that I liked. Totally worth reading.

Maltisse File is the fourth book in The Rider Files series and is a fantastic, action-packed story. Computer whiz Claire is in danger and the team comes together to protect her. Well-developed characters combine with a fast-paced story, humour, suspense, and romance, and keeps the reader on the edge of the seat for this wild ride. I cannot wait for more books by this amazing author.

I love that Claire is the computer genius here; computer hacker extraordinaire. You don't see many female roles with this and it was perfect. Drake finds himself doing something out of his element and falling for Claire. There is suspense, angst, lust, and love packed into a great story!

This is the 4th book I've read written by CB Samet; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

I so enjoyed this latest story in the "Rider Files" series! What a wild and crazy ride! Claire finally gets her story! This is such a great read and highly addictive!!! I love the characters and the plot! I love the suspense, action and amazing twists in this story!

[Molly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not a game.

This is not a stage or a movie, and the stakes are high, and quite lethal.

Maybe love can be born and grow in the ashes but can it, and they, survive?
