Amazing Grace
[Siren Menage Everlasting: Erotic Menage a Quatre Romance, M/F/M/M, HEA] Two years have passed since Grace Thompson left her home and her family in Houston. One of her three brothers, Peter, convinces her to return home for her cousin Jamie's wedding. Reluctantly she gives in. Things seems wonderful and everyone is happy to see her. A few days after her arrival, news spreads that a serial killer is on the loose and government officials believe it is the same individual who killed Clara, Grace's sister, years ago. Grace is thrust into the arms of a special investigator, an ex marine who is hired out by law enforcement and the government to solve difficult crimes and hunt down the killer. Sandman Sandstone and his two brothers, Big Jay and Duke, are ex military and involved in law enforcement and investigation in some way. When they help keep Grace in protective custody, she manages to snag their hearts, which they thought were cold and dead. As they work on exploring a menage relationship with her, she becomes the high target of the killer that even Sandman and his team can not capture. Will the killer get to Grace, or perhaps force her to come to him as he begins to go after her loved ones, luring her into his trap? ** Siren Publishing

About the author
Dixie Lynn Dwyer
290 books694 followersPeople seem to be more interested in my name than where I get my ideas for my stories from. So I might as well share the story behind my name with all my readers.
My momma was born and raised in New Orleans. At the age of twenty, she met and fell in love with an Irishman named Patrick Riley Dwyer. Needless to say, the family was a bit taken aback by this as they hoped she would marry a family friend. It was a modern day arranged marriage kind of thing and my momma downright refused.
Being that my momma’s families were descendents of the original English speaking southerners, they wanted the family blood line to stay pure. They were wealthy and my father’s family was poor.
Despite attempts by my grandpapa to make Patrick leave and destroy the love between them, my parents married. They recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
I am one of six children born to Patrick and Lynn Dwyer. I am a combination of both Irish and a true southern belle. With a name like Dixie Lynn Dwyer it’s no wonder why people are curious about my name.
Just as my parents had a love story of their own, I grew up intrigued by the lifestyles of others. My imagination as well as my need to stray from the straight and narrow made me into the woman I am today.

Amazing Grace is book three in the American soldiers series. I have been eager to read this book since seeing Sandman mentioned in other books from this series. I was instantly hooked on this story. I devoured this book in one sitting and was on the edge of my seat throughout. I adored Grace. Despite the heartbreak she had been through, she was a strong independent woman. I liked Sandman, big Jay and Duke. I will admit that I had a major soft spot for big Jay. I was rooting for all of them to open their hearts and get together. Another thing I adored about this story was Grace’s bond with her brothers. The scenes between them were sweet.
I don’t know why or how but I instantly figured out who the serial killer was. From the moment he was mentioned I just knew/had a feeling on who it was and boy was I right! Usually I would be disappointed that I had figured it out but this time I liked seeing the tension build. I was on the edge of my seat when Jamie was attacked and when Grace went off on her own. I would and will happily read this book again. I liked the twists and turns in the story and the killer’s scenes made my heart race, especially the Maggie and Jamie scenes. I am SO glad that Jamie survived; I didn’t want Grace to lose her. I also liked the love between Sarah and Donald. I liked the whole ‘’will they, wont they’’ feeling I got from them.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a gripping read. I cannot wait to read more books from this series.

When Grace Thompson's sister was murdered, her life stopped. Their looks were practically identical, despite being 14 months apart, and Grace found herself trying to fill the role of her sister. Realizing how unhealthy it was for her family and herself, she left and began her career as a fashion photographer in Europe.
Two years later, Grace is coming home for a surprise visit. With only one day into her visit, everything becomes unhinged. She finds herself in the middle of an investigation that stems back to her sister's murder and a serial killer who has set Grace as his ultimate target.
Sandman Sandstone is the person you call when you have exhausted every lead. Sandman needs to find the connection from the killer to Grace, but in all of his years of doing the job he has never felt the protective drive kick in like it has with meeting Grace. After a few close calls, Sandman calls in his brothers Big Jay and Duke to help with the investigation as well as protecting Grace. Grace though is determined to help and has a spirit of their own that the Sandstone brothers are trying to adapt to and hope they have the time to figure out as long as they keep her out of the path of the killer.
I thought this was an excellent read, a lot grittier than Dixie Lynn Dwyer's other books. I did have a couple issues with Sandman and Big Jay's name, it was just not connecting in the intimate moment, it was so minor though it did not take away from the story though.

Excellent
I really enjoyed reading this book. The romance aspect was phenomenal. Big Jay, Duke, and Sandman were excellent characters, strong, domineering, and protective. I liked Grace's character, as well, but there were times she seemed a little to insecure and submissive, despite the independence she tried to portray. The only downside, and the reason I only give it four stars, is that the intrigue/mystery was not very mysterious. I figured it out in the first couple of chapters. If there is a mystery involved, I like to be kept thinking, almost to the end. Regardless, it is an enjoyable read, and well worth it.

Ugh. I hate women sometimes...
The dumbass heroine has a psycho killer wanting to rape and kill her and what does she do???!!!! She runs from the sexy marine dudes trying to save her ass and sets herself up as bait by asking an unknown FBI agent for help. What a dumbass. I mean for real. The HEA should be "and the sexy men walked away and found a new lover who wasn't a dumbass. The end"
Instead of teaching kids to don't do drugs and use condoms, we should teach young people not to make stupid ass decisions when a crazy guy wants to knife you.

Another great story. I loved the mystery in this one. I started to get an idea of who the killer was a bit more than half way through, but couldn't be sure. I was really tempted to flip to the end to see if I was right, then go back and finish reading, but I couldn't do it. It really kept me hooked to the end. Great suspense.

I have to say, "Amazing Grace" has got to be my favorite of the "American Soldier Collection." I had a hard time putting it down just to spend time with my family...LOL Lots of mystery and drama to keep me in suspense and hot sexy scenes that had me turning pages for hours at a time! Thank you Dixie for all your hard work. You are truly "Amazing."

I liked this third story in the series. The only thing I didn't like was it was overly violent. I like romantic suspense but this was just too much. I also knew who the killer was fairly soon and felt like he wasn't found out for much too long. I liked all the characters and thought they were good together.

I wish I could give this 10 stars. This is one of the best books I have ever read. This book is one of the reasons I don't even have to read what it's about, I just know that the story and characters is going to be so heartfelt and exciting. I love Grace and all of the characters in this book. I wanted to knee Lancaster in the groin myself. Dixie, you ROCK!!

Another petite female has a stalker. He is obsessed with her and he is a sadist. Three hot ex military dudes fall for her. Good plot and character development. I liked all of the character in this book. But "the killer," to me was predictable. I figured him out before she saw him or even before anyone actually saw him. It was plain to see. I wasn't surprised.

I'm usually a big fan of this Author so it pained me to only give this book 2 stars.
In a nutshell, I couldn't get past my severe dislike for the main female character. I'm not sure why I didn't care for her either. I was hoping I would warm up to her as the book went on. I didn't....

I enjoyed this story. Although the story had many hot steamy scenes it also had a lot of depth and suspense. You can tell the story was thought out perfectly. I must say this may be my favorite in this series.

Wow!!! What an action packed menage romance this was. I mean really action packed and not to mention the mystery in this book. This was a great read.

Phew, what a read.
Been a while since the last time I read.. Umm.. You know, a menage romance. And this one didn't really wow me. The plot and the twist are pretty basic and predictable, I also didn't really fancy the heroine. She's waaay too whiny. But overall I enjoyed it. Definitely will check out the rest of the series.

Jay, Duke and Sandman team up to become Grace's protection when a serial killer has his sights set on getting to her. This thrilling story has some action-packed twists and turns with surprises I didn't see coming.

This book was the best one of the series yet. Love Sandman and Grace is truly amazing.
