“I’m bringing you in...even if I have to hogtie you and toss you over my shoulder.”

I’m six-foot-four of tattooed bounty hunter: wrangling prisoners is what I do. But I never had to deal with a gorgeous female spy with curves that don’t quit and a PhD in pushing my buttons. The rest of my team warn me that she’ll try to lie and flirt her way to freedom. I’m determined not to fall for it...not to fall for *her.*

But when the two of us wind up stranded far from civilization, it’s up to me to transport her on foot through thick, untamed forest. And with each time she escapes and I have to chase her, with each time we tussle and I pin her down, with each time she pouts and I growl threats in her ear, the attraction builds. She teases so hard, I swear she *wants* me to take her over my knee.

When things go wrong, we’re forced to go from fighting each other to fighting side by side. I begin to glimpse the broken heart she hides...and start to wonder if she’s really the enemy. If her story is true then something terrible is coming...and she’s the only one who can stop it. Can I trust a woman who lies for a living? Are her feelings for me real, or just an elaborate ruse? I’m going to have to decide because there’s only one way to help her: go on the run with her. It’ll split the team I love apart. I’ll be a fugitive hunted by my closest friends. But I’ve fallen for this woman and I’ll do anything to protect her.

I received an ARC of Capture Me. Just love Helena Newbury’s books - always fast paced, energetic and slightly different. Been waiting to read Colton’s book especially as we have read snippets of his broody, hench tattooed “wide as a barn door” man, strength of a giant and has a rescued bear cub in previous books. He’s a bounty hunter when hes not working for JD and the team, so this new job that has come is right up Coltons street. Hunt the “job”, capture her and turn her into the CIA. The massive problem is shes a gorgeous Russian spy with brains, body and attitude to boot. An an explosive book full of twists and turns and Colton is forced to make a decision which could costs him all of his values. Well written, the gang is all back together and it’s just another great, easy read. Loved it.

This is the kind of book that you read in one seating. Too much action going on, too important to leave it for another day, because you just NEED to know what is going to happen! That’s how I felt the whole time while reading this book. If someone can create chemistry between 2 people who are on different sides of the law, that’s Helena. And it makes it so real, so matter of fact, that you forget the what ifs, the consequences and it makes you scream in your head: “oh, just kiss already!”. And that’s what happens when Tanya, Russian spy, goes rogue to revenge her partner’s death on American soil. Tanya is considered a threat and CIA hires JD’s team to capture her and bring her for interrogations. It just so happens that in this team full of talented people, Colton is the expert in capturing people, him being a bounty hunter as well. He gets hooked on her before he even met her and when they do, fireworks explode! That first fight between them was dangerous, cute, fun and flirty! Never imagined that about a fight before! But I was so into it! What I really liked along their journey is the amount of times both Tanya and Colton went against their training to give each other a chance, to try to trust each other. It made them real and vulnerable and so lovable as main characters. If I could give this book 10 stars, I would! It captured me from the beginning and I was sad when it was finished, with HEA and all!

You know how I (and all around me) know that I loved a book?
When I close a book and can't stop thinking about it and because of that I am grinning like a loon the whole time 🤣

I love Helena's books.
I love her writing style and the stories. I love the covers, too 😉
Her books make me always smile.


This book is the whole package.

Great characters and a badass, no nonsense heroine.
I mean, even the meanest soldiers and mercenaries have healthy respect for her.
I mean, how often does it happen in our books that professional soldiers are fooled by a petite woman for a very long time and are afraid of her.
Exactly, never 🤷🏻‍♀️
The military, spy, adventure topic.
The gripping, dramatic, exciting, and action-packed story.
The slow burn (for her), he falls in love first romance.
The scorching hot scenes, and I mean WOW!
The realistic, raw, and authentic feelings.
The chemistry and tension between the characters are unbelievable from the first page.
The constant grumpy heroine and their strange but entertaining "banter" 😂

I'm really sorry that I can't write more about this story 😔, but I don't want to spoil the wonderful story.

This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone.
My recommendation is to read the whole series of course 😊

This is a great series. I love all of Helena's books and this one is no different.

Part-time bounty hunter, member of Stormfinch Security, and owner of a bear cub, Colton is content with life. He is not ready for the gut punch he gets when he sees a picture of Russian Intelligence agent Tanya Yeshevskaya. She is beautiful with her pale eyes and sculpted cheekbones- she is also their current assignment. The CIA wants her and Stormfinch is assigned to capture her and bring her in to be questioned. But Tanya is not so easy to catch, and even harder to hang on to. Colton ends up jumping from a plane into a lake to follow her when she escapes his custody - and he is scared of heights! It seems Tanya has her own personal mission and she won't be stopped from carrying it out. Then, the two of them stubble onto an even bigger problem - a terrorist attack is being planned on US soil and someone is ready to make bank on it. Lots and lots of money is on the line. Can two fugitives from justice do anything to stop this dastardly plan?

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

When Colton first laid eyes on his target Tanya, he fell hard and fast in lust, and that was just after seeing a photo of her. When they end up close and personal, he realizes that though she is the enemy, he's having a hard time convincing himself of that. Colton works with Stormfinch Security and he's found a family there.
Tanya is on a mission that's been thwarted by big burly men, aka Stormfinch, working for the CIA. Being a Russian spy, she can't trust anyone and no one in their right mind should trust her. She's very good at what she does and Colton needed to remember that.

Action packed, fast paced and left me wanting more!!! Well developed, unforgettable characters that crossover between books within the series, I love that! A definite must read! You will not be disappointed!!!

I’ve been waiting for Colton’s book since I read the first book in the Stormfinch Security series and it’s my favorite.
Colton was enamored by Tanya the minute he saw a picture of her and he knew he was in trouble. How could he capture and bring her in when all he wanted to do was sink into her?
I loved all the suspense of Colton and Tanya trying to catch the real bad guys and the Stormfinch guys trying to get to them before they are caught. I was on the edge of my seat.
I highly recommend this book and the whole series. A ten star rating from me.

Capture Me captured me on the very first page and kept me on the edge of my seat to the very last page! I don’t know how Helena Newbury does it. She writes exquisite books! Shockingly good books filled with three-dimensional characters, intricate plots with swift twists and turns, sizzling romance, and hot burn sensuality. The reader is mesmerized and can’t put the book down! I couldn’t put the book down.

Capture Me is another in the series of the Stormfinch Security men. This time it is Colton’s turn to take the lead as the dominant character. Helena describes him as “six foot four of tattooed bounty hunter” who is known for always getting his target. Stormfinch has been tasked with bringing in Russian Intelligence agent Tanya Yeshevskaya who supposedly killed an American stockbroker and the CIA wants her captured and detained. Colton takes one look at the subject’s photo and is a goner. He is in serious love…maybe lust.

It's a simple grab and capture in New York but she eludes them. Not once but multiple times and Colton goes after her every single time including jumping out of a plane! And heights are not Colton’s thing. They are his phobia. As the story unfolds, Colton learns why she is so determined to escape and take a terrorist planning an attack on the United States down even as his team is fighting to capture both she and now Colton too.

You will find yourself unable to put this book down as Colton rejects his family of Stormfinch brothers to help this Russian spy who has no one else. Helena Newbury is a magician with words, and she will hold you spellbound!

I am sincerely hoping that this is not the end of Stormfinch – that Helena will keep the family saga going. I encourage you to read this book! It is worth it!

Capture Me
By Helena Newbury

Another thrilling rollercoaster ride.

Hang on to your seat, it’s another thrilling rollercoaster ride for Stormfinch Security. This time Colton, the bounty hunter, becomes fascinated with a Russian operative Tanya whom the group is hired to capture and deliver to the CIA for questioning on murdering an American stockbroker. What no one expects is the sparks that ignite between Colton and Tanya.

This series has been one gripping story after another. I love the way Helena Newbury throws her characters into exhilarating and dangerous situations, and how they work together to get out of them. The added angst of this story as the Stormfinch team divides their allegiance before the resolution is riveting as much as it is heartbreaking. Trust and loyalty are everything to the men of Stormfinch and I am relieved they were able to resolve their differences. No one is perfect, but the solidarity and found family these men have is everything. Colton is the quintessential hero with his larger-than-life and gruff exterior covering a soft and gooey heart. Tanya has many similar characteristics to Colton, although they are displayed in opposite ways. They are both determined and dogged to accomplish their goals. They are both protectors and able to read people. They both love deeply and watching Colton bring that quality out in Tanya was heartwarming. I enjoyed Tanya’s tenacity in escaping and Colton’s persistence in capturing her. Giving new meaning to the title of the book. All in all a fabulously fun and exciting read. I received an arc of this book, and this is my honest review.

Colton is six foot four of solid muscle and a country boy. When not on missions with his Stormfinch Security team, men he considers family, he is a bounty hunter, and he always gets his man. When his whole team is tasked to capture a Russian spy, he convinces his boss to let him take the lead, but they all warn him that she will do anything, including flirt and outright lie to get away. Then she manages to escape, and Colton ends up stranded in the middle of nowhere with her. Tanya has learned to trust no one, but when her past catches up with them she will have to decide to trust him enough to convince him that there are much more dangerous and terrible events coming than he can possibly imagine. When they finally stop fighting each other to work together, the last thing he expects is for his friends to stop trusting him and start hunting him and Tanya.
Wow, I loved these characters. They are all well written and compelling, but Tanya and Colton are absolutely fantastic. Their relationship keeps a reader engrossed as it develops, and their interactions keep a reader engaged from the first page to the last. An action packed, suspenseful, and steamy read with plenty of unexpected twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved this book and highly recommend it to other readers.

🖤ARC review🖤

First off, LOVE this series. Was not disappointed with book 4! I have dying to get to know Colton better, I mean the man has a baby bear cub as his pet 🥹. I knew it was going to be good the moment he saw Tanya’s picture and fell hard and fast over her beauty, despite the fact she’s a criminal… or so the team thinks. I loved the instant they met, the attraction was instant and I loved Tanya’s sassy smart mouthed attitude towards him. He has a mission, capture her and then over to the CIA. But, what we think is a good guy/bag guy(girl) situation, turns interesting when Tanya’s true self and motives become revealed. She can’t trust anyone, her life depends on it. But things change as she gets to know the man who loves his self made family that is the Stormfinch security. A man who has her restrained, but still cares about her being cold or tired. He also comes to realizes that she’s a master liar and will do anything to get herself out of these situations. Yet, he still continues to overlook the lies and wants to trust the connection and chemistry that he feels between them, that’s it’s not a lie. No matter how many times she escapes his custody. But as things get more complicated and they both become fugitives. Action packed and oh man the adventure!!! Then of course, HEA 🩷 absolutely loved this story!

These books are so fun. I really enjoyed this story. It is definitely completely over the top romance and outlandish suspense but that is honestly part of the charm.

Colton is brought in to lead a mission with the Stormfinch team. He is a bounty hunter and they know he will be perfect to catch Russian spy Tanya. There is only one problem; from the moment Colton sees Tanya’s picture, he is completely enthralled. In spite of his determination to succeed, Colton can’t escape his attraction for Tanya and she definitely uses it to her advantage in their games of cat and mouse.

I loved Colton. He is so sweet and I have been so excited for his story. I loved that he is such a gentle giant and that he is the complete opposite of Tanya. This was such an intriguing story and it felt like going back to some of the action-packed stories from the past.

I loved the action in this book. Tanya could obviously take care of herself but she completely melted for Colton. I really loved their dynamic and that Colton was able to bring out a softer side of Tanya. This was such a fun read. I loved the continued escape attempts by Tanya until they finally decided to work together.

I would definitely read this book again. It honestly makes me want to go back and reread all of Helena Newbury’s books.

I am so glad that I gave this story a chance. From the original description, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the h, both as a person and as a love interest for the H, but I was shown the error of my initial thoughts pretty quickly. I loved everything about Colton and I have since his introduction several books ago. His h needed to be someone special for this giant teddy bear of a man to fall for. Tanya is not what he’s expecting, but she’s what he needs & vice versa. They are perfect for each other.
Helena Newbury has such a gift with storytelling and the theme of redemption. Nothing is impossible, even though she writes her characters into seemingly impossible situations/relationships in each and every book. Each one of her books is a treasure and the interconnecting stories have built up one heck of a trove.
Colton & Tanya’s story was a fabulous adventure from start to finish. I could not read it quickly enough & then I was sad when it was over. There is plenty of action AND plenty of slow-burn relationship building with all of the Mount Mercy team, the Brothers and even some familiar Russian friends popping in & out throughout the book. You will not be disappointed!

Explosive

This is the fourth book in The Stormfinch Security Series and Colton butts heads and defied his team to help Tanya a Russian spy who is suspected to be a traitor. There is so much action and I kept wondering how Tanya would be able to atone for some of the damage she inflicted on the Stormfinch team. As always Helena knows just how to redeem Tanya. I like how her character grew through the story because of her feelings for Colton and she became a new person doing the right thing and not the spy she was trained to be.
There is plenty of action, the appearance of the O’Harra brothers from previous series, betrayals by the boatload, a pajama moment that had me laughing (you will have to read the book), tested loyalties and some steamy times beneath the sheets and other places too. Loved that both bad guys get what the deserve.
Love the party at the end and enjoyed seeing the O’Harra brothers and their families.
Definitely looking forward to the next book.

I received Capture Me as an ARC for my honest review.

I didn’t have an expectation of how Colton’s story should go. And I was not disappointed with the storyline. One thing I would say is once again the male lead was like a lust struck teenager, even when facing danger. But other then that Capture Me has romance, danger, action and adventure.
Colton has that rugged look but inside he’s just a teddy bear and wants what his teammates (family) have. Someone to share his life with. Tanya, is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Russian spy who is trying to avenge her lover and while on this mission she comes a cross something she didn’t know she wanted. As a spy it was ingrained to lie, seduce, and have no feelings and Colton is going to show her she doesn’t need to do that.
Characters from her other books make an appearance (LOVE)
I still think JD needs another book written and the O’harra brothers need another just to catch up with their growing family.

Teddy Bear and his Princess

Colton is ex-Army, now a bounty hunter and a member of Stormfinch security. Tanya is a Russian spy gone rogue, and becomes a target for Colton and Stormfinch. He catches her, but she escapes. Multiple times. It ends up almost being foreplay for them, and is nice and spicy when it comes to a head.

One of my favorite things about Ms Newbury’s writing style is how she integrates past characters into her stories. This book had one of the largest reunions yet. It was great to see lots of old characters make appearances along the journey. I especially liked seeing Callahan and Yolanda. Their story is one of my favorites.

And they all (well, most of them) come together to save the world! Once certain characters get their heads out of certain places.

DNF

## I tried. I really did. But I failed. I couldn't finish this book. This book has one of the hottest covers I've ever seen. Yowza. Too bad the story wasn't good. First of all, the heroine is a Russian spy. She seduces men to get their secrets. She has no problem having intercourse with these men as long as she completes her mission. She is a liar, a cheat, and a really horrible person. But the hero is completely gaga over her. She betrays him over and over. AND OVER. And he's so stupid that he keeps falling for her lies. He captures her, she escapes, they fight, he captures her, she escapes, they fight.....it was like groundhog day. Frankly, it was exhausting. By 40% I was fed up with how dumb this guy was and how vicious the heroine was. Come on, she has to have SOME redeeming qualities for her to be a heroine. Sorry, I cannot recommend this one.

Let me start by saying I absolutely loved Colton! Colton is a bounty hunter that also works for Stormfinch Security. Stormfinch is tasked with tracking down and bringing in Russian agent Tanya Yeshevskaya by the CIA. He is instantly attracted to Tanya when he sees her picture. Tanya will not be easily taken. After tracking down Tanya several times, she convinces him that something much bigger s at play so goes goes against his team. Colton and Tanya team up to try to prevent a disaster from happening.

There was plenty of action and suspense in the story. I loved watching their personal relationship grow. I also loved checking back in with some of the other wonderful characters that Helena has given us.

I love Helena Newbury's books and her writing style, they are always different and always exciting, keep you wanting to read more, and this book is no exception.

This is Colton's story, he is a Part-time bounty hunter, and member of Stormfinch Security, he is big and broody and owns a bear cub.

When Colton sees his next person to hunt Tanya Yeshevskaya he can't stop staring at her, she is beautiful, smart and also a cunning Russian Spy.

Can he capture her and not let her escape? can he stop himself from falling for her? There is a lot of suspense and trust in this book, can he trust her, can she trust him?

I loved this book it was an emotional rollercoaster ride, and you just didn't want to stop reading it, i am looking forward to the next book.

Capture Me by Helena Newbury is a completely wild ride! As the Army-trained brawn of the Stomfinch Security group, Colton is one of the last single men standing. When the group is tasked by the CIA to find and deliver a dangerous assassin from Russian intelligence, they are warned again and again – Tanya is wily, ice-cold and deadly – take no risks and shoot to kill if necessary.

This is not a straight-forward story, but it is all the more thrilling as a result. If you like action, intrigue, nuclear-hot chemistry and conflicted loyalties, this book will satisfy your every need. I stayed up late into the night because I needed to see what happened. Plan accordingly!

She has indeed done it again, what an adventure!  As with the previous books in this series, this book was packed with action, intrigue, danger, mutual attraction and I have to add, bravery, and well earned mutual respect as well.  It was really nice seeing previous characters in this book all working together to bring the villains to their knees or demise which in itself, justice for many.  Colton and Tanya won my heart very quickly, the chemistry and mutual respect made me smile.  Did I mention Atlas?  Rufus?  Well these characters will win some oooohs and aws!  I wish there were more than 5 stars to award....so far my favorite with this series!  Susan C.

Excellent

What a great read with never a dull moment the storyline is intense the characters brilliant what more can you want. Colton is a big bear of a man he is ex army and a bounty hunter by trade but also works for Swordfish Security all members ex military and special forces. They are given a mission by the CIA to capture a Russian spy Tanya but not everything is as it seems Colton is captivated by her from the moment he sees her photograph and even more so when he sees her in person. Their story is complicated and has twists and turns but their chemistry is undeniable. A thoroughly riveting read.

The big strong guys better watch out out

I thought this was another Good read by Helena Newbury, this one like many of her others features What appears to be a damsel in distress although this 1 is a very crafty spy who eventually overtakes the big burly guy. What I liked about this book was That there were several parts that I thought were truly funny.

The female spy gave the entire team a run for run for their money. There were some pretty steamy scenes in the book which was good also there was a vulnerability with both of the lead characters that I thought was very touching.

All in all a good read as always.

Helena Newbury did a wonderful job on Capture Me, the story was written well, plots and characters were strong. From the moment Colton laid eyes on Tanya he was a goner, he was instantly drawn to her and when they're together, that connection's even stronger. Their chemistry was off the charts, steamy, they were made for each other. Tanya and Colton's journey wasn't an easy one but they were meant to be, they were perfect together. I enjoyed their journey.
This was a great story, I'd suggest reading it.
Thank you, Helena Newbury. Wonderful work :)

Tanya and Colton did a helluva job with Capture Me! This is another excellent steamy romance by an excellent romance author! Colton is such a lovable man being a little rough around the edges and I am so glad that Tanya was able to see that despite her deadly and severe training as a Russian spy. It's amazing that love can make you trust to their level of need to bring home a wonderful happily ever after! I received a gifted copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. I honestly love this story and this series!

Readers, if you’ve never read one of Helena’s books, you’re missing out. She writes steamy, fast-paced suspense that you won’t be able to put down. I was looking forward to reading Colton’s book and I wasn’t disappointed. Colton and the Stormfinch team are tasked with bringing in Tanya, a Russian spy. Colton doesn’t let anyone get away, but he sure is attracted to Tanya. Will his attraction be his downfall? Do yourself a favor and grab this fantastic story to see what happens.

A lovely friend gave me this book. As usual, the author has put another great story together.
Colton is put to the test when trying to CAPTURE a beautiful spy named Tanya. She is like no other female he has known. She is very resourceful, cunning, and takes chances. Colton and his Stormfinch brothers have their hands full trying to bring in the female spy. All is not what it seems, and soon Colton is torn between his brothers and falling for Tanya. This story will take you on a wild ride. A very well-thought-out plot with lots of action and a few steamy scenes.

Great action/romantic suspense story! Russian spy Tanya is on a mission of vengeance and Colton is the Stormfinch Security agent making it his personal undertaking to capture her. She is one wily opponent, slippery and hard to hang on to, but Colton is determined to bring her in despite his fascination with her. When they uncover a sinister plot, they join forces to expose the evil doers. Colton and Tanya are both great characters with a ton of chemistry. I loved that he never gave up on breaking through her walls because she truly is a sympathetic character. The story is riveting and I loved it.

Best from this author yet!

I love this book!! Captivating, hilarious, very sexy, very sweet, with the security of a happily ever after, equals one delectable read! If, like me, you prefer books with a HEA, strong (and good at the core) MC's, witty humor/dialogue and crosses into the alphabet soup of fed law enforcement, spies, and former military with awesome pet subplots - you're gonna LOVE this book!

The Stormfinch security books are my fave of this author by miles. Please keep writing them Ms. Newbury!! I'm having withdrawal now that Capture Me is finished.

Fast Paced Book

Tanya and Colton's story was nonstop action. They met when Colton and his team went to capture Tanya and turn her over to the CIA, and she as a true Russian spy fought tooth and nail to stay free and go after the man who had killed her former partner. Both Tanya and Colton start having major feelings for each other and along the way find out the CIA person that hired the team is a very bad person and is out to destroy the USA economy and the team must stop them. I really enjoy this authors books. Looking forward to reading more from her?
