NAILS

by Jaime Lewis

Riley Aiken, a Homeland Security Investigations agent, wasn’t looking to be rescued, especially not while stuck halfway through an attic window at her neighbor’s house. But when she came face-to-face with her neighbor’s son, who had the sexiest grin and a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts, she didn’t expect to feel a spark that turned one unexpected meeting into the beginning of something she couldn’t walk away from.

U.S. Navy SEAL Carson “Nails” Torres had a habit of keeping things casual, relationships included. He lived for the mission, not messy emotions. But when he came home on leave and found his mom’s gorgeous neighbor stuck halfway through the attic window, teal panties on full display and sass dripping from her mouth, something shifted.

Just when they think their encounter was a one-time spark, they’re forced together on a dangerous undercover mission to find a missing congressman’s daughter, last seen in an exclusive gentleman’s club overseas with ties to a human trafficking ring.

As Riley and Nails navigate a web of danger, deception, and desire, the heat between them intensifies, and staying professional becomes harder by the second.

But when Riley draws the attention of the club’s powerful owner, the stakes skyrocket.

Can the team uncover the truth before Riley disappears into the same shadows they were sent to expose?

This is book six in The Trident Series ll - Bravo Team series and it is Nails and Riley’s story and omg it is definitely a must read. Riley is a agent with Homeland Security Investigations and is a total bad**s, cool, calm and collected and she decided to enrol in this job because her mother was killed right in front of her when she was ten but even years later they had never found the person responsible and she is determined to never give up getting justice for her mom and on a stakeout everything went sideways but she managed to survive. Nails is part of the Bravo Team and even though he is a lady’s man and didn’t do commitment or relationships due to his past and job but he still took his job seriously but his mom was still his hero because she had gone through so much pain in her life so he liked to visit her as often as she could so when he sensed that something was wrong he decided to surprise her and that is when he met Riley who he found in a very precarious position. When Nails and Riley met there was a definite attraction and strong chemistry and even though there jobs were dangerous and not cut out for relationships some things just happen for a reason and he loved her sass, kindness and fiery attitude and mouth. When they end up surprised because they are on a dangerous mission together all it does is pull them even closer together but first they need to do there jobs before they can address anything else that is happening between them because nothing will ever be the same again especially as a human trafficking ring gets more difficult to find the information that they need and then Riley is kidnapped and Nails is determined to find her and bring her home regardless of what he had to do or the consequences involved because she is his future and nothing else matters and with the team behind him he is more confidant than ever. Wow this book will take you on the biggest rollercoaster ride of your life and along with all the twists and turns and action you will be so engaged in this book and unable to put it down. I read this book in one sitting until the early hours of the morning because it was so addictive and kept my attention throughout. Jaime Lewis is a amazing author and writer who keeps you on the edge of your seat while reading her books and I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series.

Nails meets his match

Bravo team continues to fall one by one!

Nails, the penultimate bachelor, meets his mom’s neighbor as she is hanging out of the window of his mom’s attic, stuck. Riley has been helping Nail’s mom with various things around her house and generally keeping an eye on her. Mom has had her eye on Riley as a match for her son!

Riley is no shrinking violet. She is a strong, independent, Homeland Security Investigations agent who we meet after she takes down 4 bad guys and gets a bullet to the vest!

After spending a day together they both get called back to work and are left wanting to get to know each other better. Nails thinks Riley could be the one he could settle down for. Neither of them know they will be joining forces to take down a human trafficking operation in Hong Kong.

As is always the case with Bravo team, there is action, hilarity, adorable precocious children, giant pandas, and flashing panties. You will have to read it to find out. There is also edge of your seat drama. Twists and turns. Steamy hot moments, followed by moments so sweet you will have tears in your eyes. Jamie really has written one of her best books yet, in my honest opinion.

Not sure how she will top this one. We will have to wait for Snow’s story to find out. 15/10 recommend!

Worth the Wait!

Jaime has done it once again!

Riley is a beautiful, kind, strong, woman who kicks ass and spouts off sarcasm like it's her job.
Nails is the resident bachelor, fun, loves the ladies, and never wanting to settle down.
These two together are like adding fuel to the fire. They throw sassy, sparks fly, and their story is as stunning as they are.
Can they ride this rollercoaster out while getting closer??
READ to find out!

Worth the wait!

Jaime Lewis does it again!! Another great book in the Trident II series! Strong, kick ass heroine, Riley, meets strong protector, Nails. They end up working together, with Nail’s team, in the dark world of sex trafficking. From the moment they meet (in a very funny way) to the crimes that bring them together to solve as a team, you are in for one great read.

Patience is a virtue

Wow what a turning this story had. Nails and Riley meeting then finding out that they were to be on a mission together. All was working out and then Riley was kidnapped. Luckily the team found her and she was reunited with Nails who shortly afterwards proposed so that they could commence their life together.
