Sky Security #2
Vanished
Secrets lead to deadly consequences.
Almost a year ago, Lily Morgan made a terrible, life-altering decision. She went on a date with Connel Byrne. The rich and charming man who flattered her and made her feel like the most special woman in the world turned out to be a low-life, piece of scum. After witnessing him murder a man, she fled her perfectly simple life, figuring she’d be safe, and he’d forget about her. She was so very wrong…
Twenty years in the Army and one colossally failed mission, Earl Elliot finds himself in need of a career shift. Forced back to Tennessee—a place he never wanted to return to—he landed a job in private security through a family connection. Hours after getting to the small town of Shady Willow, a small curly-haired woman accosts him. Sucked into keeping secrets, danger strikes and he’s thrust back into having to make the choice of playing fair or coloring outside the lines.
Will Earl be enough to protect her, or will she become just another statistic?

Wow! M.R. Becker can write one heck of a romantic suspense. There are lots of twists and turns and this book literally had me on the edge of my set to the point I didn’t want to stop reading it. This book will give you laughs as well as frustration but of the best kind. There are heart-wrenching moments within this book as well. Lily and Earl both grow throughout this book, and I loved watching it happen. Lily is a strong female character whose family has always seen her as the baby of the family. Earl needs a woman to make him settle down and want more than 1 night with. I was never one to love a romantic suspense book, but M.R. Becker has me hooked me with this series and I most definitely can’t wait to read more from her.
M.R. Becker doesn’t make finding love easy for her characters, but I can honestly say when it comes to the ending it makes the book that much better. She makes them work for their HEA. I highly recommend this book and this author but I will say to truly enjoy this book I would start at the beginning of the series with Found as the characters are reoccurring throughout.

Gripping, age-gap, suspense-filled romance that is impossible to put down. Ms.Becker delivers us a story that is full of twists and turns that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and have your heart beating faster than normal. Yes, this story is filled with danger and suspense but at times Ms.Becker will have you laughing and at the same time you might just want to scream and throw the book.
She gives us two people, Lily and Earl, who have a chance meeting only to find out that there is a connection between them. Earl is a retired military man who works for a security company. Lily is a woman on the run from her ex who happens to be involved in a lot of illegal stuff. On the run, she goes to her brother's place and this is where Earl is now living while helping her brother. There is an instant attraction but Earl tries to fight it because of how opposite they are, or are they really? Danger meets them at the turn of every corner but Earl seems to be her white night that comes to her rescue. When the two of them give in to their urges, the pages catch on fire.
Vanished is a book that I would definitely recommend picking up and getting lost in.

- Romantic suspense
- Protector
I was absolutely transfixed by this story. I lost complete track of time while reading this book - it's that compelling and well written. I have always enjoyed books about protectors, so I jumped at the chance to read this.
Earl, a veteran, is starting a new job - as security with friends of friends. He is approached by a buddy of his to help track down his friend's sister, who has gone missing.
Lily is on the run from her former boyfriend. She saw something she shouldn't have and took off. She is hiding out near her brother's house, but she has been located. She's trying to stay one step ahead of them.
Earl feels very protective of Lily. He is determined to keep her safe, but keeping his heart safe may prove to be more difficult.
Just an amazing book. Truly loved every minute!

Vanished is an exciting, thrilling and fast paced romantic suspense.
Lily is in hiding from her ex after witnessing something terrible.
Earl is headed back to Tennessee to start a new job in security.
Lily & Earl meet when she is hiding from the men after her. She doesn't want to drag anyone into her mess, but Earl coaxes her into letting him help her.
These two have instant chemistry, and Earl tries to keep his hands to himself. He says he is too old for Lily and he doesn't do relationships but what he feels for Lily is more than just lust.
Lily is a strong woman who goes for what she wants.
This book was full of some twists that I didn't see coming. Once I started reading I could not put it down.
I am looking forward to more in the Sky Security Series.

I adored this book. It was a fast paced, edge of your seat suspense ride.
When Lily goes out with the wrong man and sees him murder someone she is on the run then she gets Earl, from a private security firm assigned to protect her.
I just loved Earl and Lily. They both had their problems but worked together to survive. I enjoyed Earl who was a bit shell shocked but eventually went into Protector mode. Their chemistry really worked for me. The sass and vibe of them was great.
Very well done, I enjoyed the book on so many levels that I'm sure I'll revisit it again. The characters and the plot grabs on and didn't let go. To me that makes a great book.
Fantastic!!

I’m always a bit wary of reading romance suspense as the plot has to be well made to keep my interest but Vanished definitely kept my interest.
Lily, the main female protagonist unfortunately fell for the wrong kind of guy and is now on the run hiding. This is how she meets Earl, who is retired from
the Army who works security.
These two could not be more different from one another beyond the age difference between them. However, the chemistry between them is high and when it reaches its climax it is hot.
Highly recommend this book to others to read it.

This book was just ok.
I didn’t like the FMC, Lily. She was flighty and made poor choices. One minute she is brave and confident and the next, she is insecure and running scared. Through most of the book, I felt like I was missing information. I will admit to not having read the previous books, but as a stand-alone, I shouldn’t have to work that hard to connect dots and figure out who people are.
I did think that the plot was good and the spicy scenes were well written, but I don’t think this author is one I’ll continue reading.
Just my personal opinion, take it as you will.

This is the third book in the Sky Security series, following Earl who works for a security company and Lily who is in college. Lily is witness to the murder of someone by her rich boyfriend and she flees him. Lily moves in with Earl to keep her safe. There is much humor and bickering between the 2 main characters, also suspense and romance. My only negative is there were so many people involved in the story that I had trouble keeping track of them. I give it 5 stars!!!

This book was so good I finish it in one night. I felt like it keep me on my toes. The chemistry between Earl and Lily was so well written. The spice in this book was so good and well written. I really enjoy reading this book. I think about it well I'm writing this review and want to read it all over again.

Trying to sort out her life, running for her life, it means Connel cannot get his hands on Lily ever again. Easier said then done until she bumped into Earl. Magical touch in this drama that has that omg vibe so I wanted to devour it, but didn't want it to end. Thrilling read. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

This books has everything you need. Intrigue, mystery, murder, secrets, charm and a little bit of sexy time.
Earl makes me feel like all vets do when they leave service. With Lily, I felt that she was written a little weak, but she should she could be a strong woman.
Good read.

The third installment of the Sky Security series starts off in a grocery store and takes you on a dynamic ride from there.
The MMC Earl is a member of the exclusive security group (I’d hate to see what they would charge!) who falls fast and hard for our FMC Lily, a young woman on the run.
I felt like there was an action.slow, then explosive pace to the book…but, it’s perfectly rational once you know what is going on.
This is an emotional, edge of seat action packed, SPICE, (hot dang) age gap, dirty talking book you REALLY need to read!
This can be read as a standalone, but, is part of a series!

Note to self…before reading book 2 of a series read book 1. 🤦♀️ This is my 2nd book by this author and I am enjoying their books. I’ll definitely be reading book 1 and any other stories I can. I love the suspense and drama and underlying love story.
