Tawni only wanted to prove herself. As sniper to her SWAT team, she was finally on the path she’d always needed to find. Until a raid gone wrong ends her in the hospital.
Nicholas, Grayson, Wyatt and Sebastian make up the rest of her team. What she doesn't know, what they have no idea how to tell her, is that they have every intention of proving to her why she belongs with them. Not only as a member of their team, but in their lives.
Unfortunately, Tawni has a tendency to gravitate to the wrong kind of men, dominant men who would rather hurt her than seduce her. Until she can put that part of her past aside, she can’t give herself fully to them.
But Tawni has never faced a man so intent on what he wants as these four men. Soon, she’ll come to realize she longs to take everything her four hard SWATs have to offer.

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to reverse harem is when the guys are hard to keep straight. In this book they were different and unique enough that I had no problem keeping them separate in my head. But it seemed the author couldn’t. There were many times when the name wasn’t right. One second it would be Niko stroking her hair and then Wyatt, when he wasn’t even in the room, just for it to go back to Niko in the next sentence. I found myself reread a line several times just to realize it was the authors fuck up, not me mixing it up. Only picked up this book because it was free and a short little read. I enjoyed it but I’m glad I didn’t pay for it and I won’t be reading the author again.
Twani needed the Team just as they needed her. I loved how loving them did not take away her power but improved it. If Nicholas, Grayson, Wyatt, and Sebastian did that for her, I say 'GO GIRL!' Great short story!
"Four Hard SWATs" is a short, sweet, and to the point romance about a five member SWAT team, four of whom are stong, handsome, Alpha males, and the other? A petite, but determined woman. All the guys are attracted to her and feel very protective of her as well.
After a raid gone bad, Niko, Sebastian, Wayatt, and Greyson have to take Tawni to the hospital, where she refuses to let any of them take care of her. Instead she calls someone who picks her up in a sportscar and steals her away. After this, the story really takes off.
I enjoyed this book for what it was...an easy read that was sexy, romantic, and fun. Yes, everything happens quickly, but in print, it's only 62 pages, so things have to move along at a speedy clip. I loved how all four guys treated Tawni like precious treasure. Their love for her really shines through, and the fact that they're willing to share her attests to that. It mentions that all four men are Doms, but there wasn't much in the way of BDSM (only a few scenes really). Marteeka Karland manages to get the "safe, sane, and consensual" message across nicely. The sex scenes are very hot, and found myself completely envying Tawni. They seduce her, take her, and love her, and, even though I can say I've never read a "fivesome" story, everyone took their particular roles in the relationship seriously.
I very much would recommend this book to friends, and I probably will. Sit down, lean back, have a nice glass of wine, and enjoy some of the most wonderful guys in erotic romance today.
Tawni is new to the SWAT team, and its only woman. Of course she might want to prove herself to the tall, dangerous men, but when a mission gets hairy, and Tawni puts herself closer to danger than her lead, thinks...all her teammates come together to get their colleague to understand exactly how she fit on the team.
It's short, and it suffers for the brevity. Tawni is some sort of woman of color, probably, as her dark skin is noted, but no specifics are given.
