Trident #7

Skittles

Rate this book
Anna Grace wanted two things in life; to stay alive and to clear her name of murder. Okay there was a third. To one day find the one person who she knew could help her. Noah Young—her crush, her friend, and most important—her alibi. Until she found Noah, she’d stay hidden in the little beach town she now called home. But all towns come with secrets and surprises and Anna Grace is in for the surprise of her life.

As a Navy SEAL, Noah “Skittles” Young was used to closing out missions with his SEAL team. However, there is one personal mission that has eluded him for the last ten years. Anna Grace was not only his younger sister’s best friend, and the one girl he let slip away, she was also considered a missing person. Using his keen, investigative computer skills, Skittles vowed to never give up searching for her even when everyone else had. When Skittles is invited to a surprise birthday celebration, he discovers that the surprise is on him when he finds himself staring into the soft violet-colored eyes he’s longed to see again. As the past starts to unravel itself Anna Grace and Skittles realize that her disappearance and her parents’ murder wasn’t a random act. It was planned.

As outside forces align to silence Anna Grace, will Skittles, with the help of his team, be able to undo the tangled web of her past ten years to keep her alive and help her regain her true identity?

I have loved each and every book in the Trident, series and Skittles and Anna Grace's book is just as good..Jaime Lewis weaves a soul wrenching story of greed, power and ugliness, then she ramps up the love,laughter and family storyline, this book made me cry, laugh and cry some more, her characters that are just so relatable. Skittles is a 5 plus stars read for me and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series Diego!

This is book seven in The Trident Series and it is Anna and Noah (Skittles) story and omg it is a must read but get the tissues handy because you will definitely need them. Ten years ago Anna and Noah went to the country fair and the next day Noah for leaving for the navy basic training and then hoping to become a real only when Anna got home her life would never be the same again. After Anna's parents were murdered she was held hostage for two and a half years only to have help escaping and now ten years later she leads a quiet life away from the media so she can clear her name and one day hopefully find Noah and ask for his help. Skittles has never given up trying to find Anna but so far every time he gets close something gets in the way but he will not give up until he finds her but then he goes to a birthday party and and has the shock of his life when he sees Anna but then she runs again. Anna has been through so much trauma in her life and she doesn't trust very easily after everything that has happened but just when she thinks everything will turn out okay she is kidnapped yet again and she doesn't think that she will make it out alive this time. Skittles can't believe that Anna has been taken her again but he will do everything possible to bring her home alive with the help of his team. This book was so emotional that I cried so much with everything that Anna had been through and I found myself hoping that Anna and Skittles would get the happy ending that they both deserve. Jaime Lewis is an amazing author and writer and her books certainly keep reader's attention and on the edge of their seats and she never leaves you disappointed with the outcome. I definitely recommend you read this book and series and you will definitely not be disappointed as they are definitely worth reading.

Another fantastic book in this series, I just loved it. Anna Grace has been through the most horrific ordeal, from finding her parents murdered, being kidnapped and held for year then finally escaping and going on the run and staying hidden for years. Anna Grace knows she was a prime suspect in her parents murder and is too scared to go to the police, so she has no other option, until she meets Skittles, her best friends older brother, the man she never forgot about. Skittles can’t believe his eyes, he has eventually found Anna Grace after years of looking for her and never giving up. Skittles know she has been through something traumatic however it is only when Anna Grace slowly tells him parts of her story that he realises how bad it was, however even after all these years Anna Grace isn’t safe. Her past catches up with her again and it is up to Skittles and his team to rescue her and get to the bottom of those behind it. I loved this story, the strength and courage that Anna Grace had was amazing and I loved the connection between her and Skittles. A fantastic storyline with drama and suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat. Such an amazing series that has you gripped, I never want it to end!

Another superb addition to this series we finally meet the girl Skittles has been looking for all this time.
A quieter member of the team, voted least likely to be rabble rousing, Skittles isn’t however any less alpha or baddass than his team mates.

The story of what happened to Anna Grace is complicated and comes out in fits and starts throughout the story so you do have to pay attention but in doing that you can’t miss the depth of the gradually building love story between Skittles and AG which is just so heart warming, hot and exciting to read.

A thrilling read with all the excitement you have come to expect from JL, alongside the strong family connections, friendships and surprises along the way.

I loved how the story built and followed the story eagerly through all the ups, downs, thrills and spills of it. The pages turned of their own accord I was so enthralled with this story and felt a sense of joy at the HEA yet sadness for it being over.

Counting down the days till Diego is released

Excellent Addition to the Series

This is the seventh book in the Trident series and a perfect addition to the Series. I loved Anne Grace/AG and Skittles/Noah’s story. You can read this book as a standalone but I highly recommend that you read this series in order. This is about a SEAL team so they’re a tight knit group. You will see all the previous characters in this book plus the previous books give a little more info about Skittles search for the girl he calls AG. This book is loaded with suspense, laughs, and tears. It definitely engages all the emotions. Skittles has spent his free time over the last ten years searching for AG. He never forgot about the girl next door he was falling for. She went missing without a trace. A chance meeting puts them in each others path but just as they are starting to reconnect Grace goes missing and Skittles will do everything he can to find her. Awesome book and a wonderful addition to the series. Can't wait to get my hands on Diego's story.

I have been dying to read this book and finally find out who it was Noah aka Skittles has been searching for for soo long and boy I did not expect all the things that Anne Grace (AG to Noah when he was growing up). Emotions run high plenty of times as the story unfolds as to what happened to AG, we get snippets at a time and each time you just want to bunddle her up but also let her know how strong she was to keep putting one foot in front of the other as well as the fact fate meant for her and Noah to once again meet. I am so thankful for the family Noah has with his team and all those around him as both he and AG need them when some crazy steps are taken to try to finally end AG as well as while they try to unravel who really killed her parents and why. Be ready for heartbreak, deadly secrets, courage, family support whether by blood or bond, twists and shocks where some leave you truly shocked as well as a love that is so strong that it's lasted years even when Noah and AG were apart.

All through this wonderful series we have known that Skittles (Noah Young) as been searching for someone after all when not on a mission he is attached to his laptop searching for any clue Now we find out who he has been searching for Anna Grace Silver the girl he loved before he even joined the military a girl who disappeared on the night of their first date and the night her family was murdered. Now he has finally tracked her down and in doing so drags his team and their women into a world of corruption and greed because someone is determined that Anna Grace must die so that his secrets can be kept and it will take an entire team to keep her safe and unravel the secrets that are her legacy. Be prepared for some unexpected turns as this story winds its way to a stunning conclusion

Who To Trust?

Skittles and A.G had loved each other forever. When she went missing he never gave up the hope of one day finding her. Just when she thought she was safe, she is taken from left field again.
It turns out she Really had no idea who or why her world had been turned upside down.
But with the help of Skittles and his team, she starts getting her answers and there are surprises a plenty.
Well written and another brilliant read from Jaime Lewis.
Highly Recommend this Author to Anyone and Everyone who loves Romance and is looking for something fast paced in Military Romance.
Enjoy, l know l did.

Ok, first of all, I loved Noah’s nickname of “skittles”. It was a really fun one. Anna might be on a mission to clear her name or murder, but once Noah finds her, it was quite intriguing to see how much the motive for their murder comes to light. This book was a fun page turner and a joy to read during my busy week.

First love lasts forever

Another well written story by Jaime Lewis. Human trafficking and weapon smuggling are horrendous things that unfortunately happen. What happened to Anna Grace is something that never should have but there are some really unscrupulous people in this world that will do anything for money. Thank goodness that Anna Grace found her happily ever after with Skittles.

Great and unique storyline. The baggage that AG has to lug around is insurmountable. The mystery and suspense is engaging and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The story is action packed and full of emotion. Skittles, Noah, is strong and driven and such a loyal hero. The team is great and such good friends. The villian is great to hate. Moah's family is warm and comforting.

This is the seventh book in the Trident series and was as wonderful as the first six. Skittles had almost given up hope of finding A.G when fate throws her back in to his life. As expected things are not straightforward but with help from his team and their families they get their happily ever after. Thoroughly recommend this book. Thank you for another great read.

Damn, this is a fantastic read

I cried buckets. Characters stayed true to the plot, except at the end. But it all worked out. The lockbox doesn't fit, but it can be overlooked considering how important it was. A great book, and worth every penny. It has action, suspense, mystery, and romance. Can't wait for next book.

Spectacular

This is the 7th book in the series and while each book can be read as a stand alone they should be read in order.
This book is stellar, stunning, yummy, and one that cannot be beat. A.G. is a heroine . She exemplifies strength, love, and perseverance.
Why are you still reading this.. GO GET THIS BOOK.

Good story but terrible proof reading

This is a great story in the Trident series. Love seeing all the past characters as well. However there are so many grammar, spelling and punctuation errors that it is disappointing.

Skittles by Jamie Lewis

If you are looking for a great book then you need to read this one. Skittles and Anna Grace’s story is a continuation of the Trident series and it is a good one. It had suspense, romance and some angst. Now on to Diego.

Enjoyable so far

Loving this series I'm reading this out of order. I don't think it matters much I hope not. This book had everything in it and it kept you on your toes. This is a first time author for me and I'm glad I decided to try.

Anna had a very traumatic life. Her parents were murdered and she disappeared so everyone suspected her. She was held hostage until she was able to escape. I loved this book. Skittle was one of my favorite books this year
