REVIEW: Gabe - Alvarez Security Agency (#1) by Maryann Jordan

Gabe (Alvarez Security #1)Gabe by Maryann Jordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wanted to binge on military or former military men and women and that is what I've been doing for the past month.

A book friend introduced me to this book and said I would love Gabe. What she didn't tell me was I would love his twin bother, their Captain, and the whole cast and crew as swiftly as I found myself doing.

Fair warning, this book is an insta-love book between Gabe and Jennifer. The beginning was a little shaky for me, but only because I had no inkling of how it would play into the storyline.

I admit, I'm not normally one to really love insta-love books, but this book kept my interest and had me laughing with the Gabe and Jenny and Jenny's brother Ross as well as getting angry at Jenny, at Gabe, forgiving them both, laughing and crying and then worrying about Jenny and Ross and well, by the end of the book I knew, I would have a book hangover.

Gabe was all alpha from the get go but the soft spots were there, the tenderness and the love. And the comraderie with the guys from his unit that he now works with. Jenny, while showing moments of insecurity about Gabe, showed strength, compassion, love, and hope in all that she was doing for her brother and the elderly.

There's some strong language, sexy times, action concerning bad guys, and it all rounds out Gabe and Jenny's story. I loved the book. LOVED IT.

REVIEW: Resolutions by Teri Riggs

Resolutions (Honor Guard Series)Resolutions by Teri Riggs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I always love discovering new-to-me authors and Teri Riggs is no exception. What drew me to this book was the Female Lead. She's a strong agent who is loyal and full of spirit.

The male lead, her ex, is just as strong willed as she is, also very loyal.

I think this is the first book I've read with such a strong female lead who worked for a government agency and I want to read more kickin' butt type women like her.

Yes, it's also sexy in parts but that does not take away from the story, the intrigue or the action. It adds a little to the entire storyline.

I was entertained thoroughly by the book and hope if the characters talk to the Author that there are many more adventures for the Resolutions squad.

Thank you to the author. More than she will ever know.

REVIEW: Seal's Lost Dream (Lost and Found, 2.5) by J.M. Madden

SEAL's Lost Dream (Lost and Found, #2.5)SEAL's Lost Dream by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

NOTE: You can read this novella as part of J.M. Madden's The Lost and Found Trio as currently, it's not available for purchase by itself. I purchased that for my kindle, read it and am reviewing all three novellas separately and then will do a big synopsis for the Trio kindle version as well.

REVIEW: This novella gives us the story of a Navy Seal and his best friend and the aftermath of what war did to their relationship.

SPOILERY AHEAD ---

Flynn is a former Navy Seal who was a K9 handler. Already, my heart was more than gone for this man. After being out of the military for a few years he finds his way to LnF and as he's battling his demons, he begins showing up at the Veterinarian's with injured dogs that find him.

Strong-willed veterinarian does all she can to save the dogs that Flynn brings to her. They bond over one dog that takes a very stubborn shine to Flynn.

This novella for me, read like a novel. It was jam packed and when push came to shove, Flynn came out of the darkness thanks to the love of a good woman and a stubborn dog.

Honestly, I think this is my favorite of the whole LnF series even if it is a novella.
