Breaking Protocol - Cara Putman
When rule-bending investigator Todd Westmont discovers an unconscious thirteen-year-old girl, his spontaneous methods clash with strictly by-the-book caseworker Paige Newman. Exhausted by burnout and caring for her veteran brother, Paige uses rigid protocols to guard her fragile heart against Todd’s charm.
But the Jane Doe has leukemia and desperately needs a bone marrow donor—prompting reporter Dani Richards to agonizingly hope the girl is her long-lost daughter. Forced into an uneasy partnership, Todd and Paige trace a military challenge coin to a wounded veteran. To orchestrate a medical miracle, they must risk their own guarded hearts before time runs out.

FBI agent and cyber expert Taylor Ertz has sworn off love. Three years ago, her fiancé vanished during a covert mission, presumed dead—but Taylor’s heart refuses to believe it. Now, she’s thrust undercover in Senator Schulz’s PR team, posing as a web designer to unmask a mole feeding secrets to the Russians.
Kambre “Kam” King should have died three years ago. The CIA declared him dead, along with the rest of his team. Now, as Spartak’s deadly network resurfaces, Kam is sent deep undercover to stop them—only to discover that Taylor is in their crosshairs.
Charlie ONE - Sami A. Abrams
Jade “Raven” Mitchell never steps into the field. She fights from behind a screen. Until someone decides her mind is the weapon they need.
After uncovering proof that experimental military tech was hijacked to expose elite U.S. soldiers, her reports vanish. Six months later, she’s abducted from a Mexican resort.
BlackKnight Security owner and leader Liam “Charlie One” McKnight has trusted Raven’s voice on his comms for years. So, when he’s hired to find a missing contractor’s daughter and discovers Raven bruised and bound in a jungle hut, the mission turns personal.
But rescuing her is only the beginning.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I enjoyed Zero Hour, a military Christian anthology by 3 authors.
Breaking Protocol by Cara Putman was a gripping romantic suspense as it involves Todd, a detective, and Bridget, a case worker, working together when Todd brings an injured teenage girl to the hospital one night. From multiple attacks to investigating the girl's identity to secrets, this romantic suspense story will have you flipping through the pages to unravel the truth. Bridget has to make some tough choices as a case worker on behalf of the injured teenage girl.
Alaskan Hero's Return by Lily Hann was a fast-paced, end-of-your-seat read with second chances, suspense, and danger as Taylor discovers Kam, her dead fiancé, is alive. Together they, along with the Seward Office team, work together to clear Taylor's name and find who has been framing her. What a wonderful read with twists and turns.
Charlie ONE by Sami A. Abrams grabbed my attention from start to finish as Liam and his teammates rescue and protect Jade, who had been abducted. This fast-paced, gripping read has banter, team camaraderie, danger, and twists and turns. Who is after Jade and why was she kidnapped? The characters were well-written with pasts that shaped them, and the plot was engaging.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
