5 Star Review Meaner Than Evil: Mission: Logan by Jessika Klide
Jessika Klide is a relatively new author to me but what I have read I have found entertaining and as I enjoy romantic suspense stories I could not wait to read Meaner Than Evil: Mission: Logan.
This is a a second chance at love story that held me captivated from the first to the last chapter. When Jack Black aka Hammer learns that the love of his life, his ex wife Logan has been kidnapped, he and the team will do whatever it takes to rescue her and exact revenge.
If you like hot as sin alpha males, romance and suspense, then this book is for you. There is suspense, danger, intrigue and heat and there were times that I was on the edge of my seat whilst reading.
The romance and chemistry that sizzles between Logan and Hammer is intense and smoking hot. Although they married young and eventually went their separate ways the love between them has never died. Now is there time to reconnect. This was a well written and entertaining story that drew me in I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series.

Short, snappy and sexy read. Pulls no punches in the action or in the smexy times.

Jack and Logan burned fast and hot when they were together but tragedy broke them apart, neither capable of saving the other from pain. But love was never a problem between them and when the crap hits the fan in Logan's life - the one phone call she makes is to her father telling him to find Jack!

When Jack aka Hammer is given the info that his former wife has been abducted he drops everything to save her. He'll rip hell itself apart to find her and bring her back home.

OMW - these two. You rage against them for breaking up in the first place, all whilst understanding the heartbreak they just couldn't get over together. But the love still endures and I loved the way Jack always refers to her as his former wife, not ex! Fiery hot passion, Alpha male protector and a smart, spine of steel heroine.

Would happily read more in the series!

This is the second book in this series. However, they can be read as standalone books. I haven’t read the first one and wasn’t lost at all. Logan Black is a successful New York attorney. She has been working to take down a cartel boss. Things go a sideways after her last win. Jack Black is a former SEAL and now part of the Born to Fight Task Force. When he learns that his ex-wife has been kidnapped, he will do everything in his power to get her back. The people who took Logan have no idea what kind of trouble they are in for. This was a great quick read. Action packed and a second chance for Logan and Jack. I look forward to reading more books in this series and more books by Jessika in general. Great job Jessika.

WOW! Jessika hit this one right out of the park

This is not just a romance or second chance romance. This was a powerful read that really hits home about the other side of life... human trafficking.
Jessika did an amazing job and it was extremely life like as we follow Logan as she is abducted and prepared to be sold through a Human Trafficking ring.
Lucky enough for Logan she had an Ex who had the right connections and know how that was able to save her and give her a second chance not only in life but also in love.
This was book 2 in the series and I can tell this whole series is going to be amazing!

Thrilling Story!!

This is a really great story that’s action-packed, lots of suspense, drama, thrills and danger, sure to keep anyone entertained from beginning to end. I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation of what was going to happen next the whole way through.

Jack and Logan captivated me and frustrated me throughout. They couldn’t make it work the first time around but even though they are divorced the love between then never went away. Jack and Logan have really great chemistry and the sexual tension is explosive and extremely hot when they are together. I was cheering them on from the sidelines.

This is a well written and entertaining story that drew me and kept me captivated. I can’t wait to see what happens next in the series.

Quick read... with lots going on. Logan and Jack married young and went separately to find there dreams but you know they still love each other deeply. Logan is a kick butt lawyer and doesn't realize she trusted the wrong person. But she has a someone in her corner noone expects Jack. I was really shocked by how easily they fall back into each other with such ease and comfort. It's a super sweet ending I was excited about.

Compelling...

Human trafficking is rampant. Fiction, yes, but so relevant to today. This is the second book in the series about former Seals and other military badasses who've retired from active duty but are now fighting in the arena of saving trafficked victims. These books are hard hitting, the men meaner than evil! Best I've read in a long while!

This book is action packed from page 1. There’s so much happening you won’t realize how fast you read this story.

Jack and Logan are divorced yet still carry a torch for each other. Logan is in trouble and Jack will always come to her rescue.

It took this moment for them to realize nothing is more important than each other and finding their way back to one another.

This is a great fast paced short read that packs a punch. It is the 2nd book in a series of standalones and I have to say I much preferred this book to book 1. The characters were likeable and the love between them was real.

Logan is a successful lawyer who has spent her career taking on the most dangerous criminal elements in society until she finds herself abducted by one of them. The last words she uttered before she was taken was call Jack.

Jack is an ex-Navy SEAL and Logan’s ex-husband. Although they are no longer together it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love her so when he finds out what happened there is nothing he won’t do to rescue her and once he does he isn’t about to let her walk out of his life for a second time.

Dangerous situations, great characters and two people whose hearts have always belonged to the other.

Jack and Logan met at a bar when Logan and her friends enter a wet t-shirt contest. He was the bouncer and when some a-hole guys started hassling her when getting off the stage, Jack came to her rescue. She then asks, your place or mine?

It was a whirlwind marriage that only lasted three months. But, he was going in to start in BUD/S training, and she was starting her career as, an attorney. Out of love for each other, they decide to end the marriage, while they love each other. Hoping one day would come, and they would find each other again. Vowing to be there if either needed, each other.

Little did they know nine years later that, Jack would get that call, that would make the blood in his veins, run cold. His, Logan is in trouble. She had been kidnapped by the very man, she was trying to take down. Only getting a right-hand man never the big guy. He does not like anyone messing with him or his operation, she needs to learn her place. So, he has her kidnapped.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is a second chance romance.

This is the 2nd book in this amazing series and is Logan and Jack / Hammer’s story. Hammer is an ex-seal and when he finds out that his ex-wife Logan has been kidnapped, he and the team start working on finding her no and dishing out vengeance. These two married young and separated to travel on different paths in life, but the chemistry between them is still combustible and undeniable. This is a well written flawless story which is action packed, and with suspense, redemption, danger, intrigue, emotions, and love, which all leads to an entertaining and fantastic 2nd change love story. I was totally enthralled throughout this riveting and addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author.

Reunited

Logan is a hot spot lawyer hell bent on taking down the scum of the earth. She just wrapped up a case putting a known trafficker behind bars when a bounty is put on her head. And that money was enticing enough for her driver to give her up. That's where her ex-husband comes in. Former Navy SEAL and all around God Jack the Hammer Black is not one you want to mess with. Out of the Navy now working with a group of highly trained professionals to break up trafficking rings. He is just the man to call in. I enjoyed this book. Just wish it was longer. Very quick read.

Easy breezy read that needs more of everything: detail, steam, action, etc. I guess it would be an ok read for most but I’m quite demanding when it comes to romantic thrillers/suspense.

Great but quickly read!

Loved it! Wish it wasn’t such a short read. I could also do without the typos. However the content and story line itself was great. Will definitely read the whole series.
