Award-winning and bestselling author and physician Jillian David quickly writes then slowly edits medical romance, paranormal romance, and romantic suspense books. She loves to use medical situations and characters to drive drama in her books. Her favorite cell is the platelet and her least-favorite organ is the pancreas. She fully believes that curse words, when appropriately deployed during surgery, are hemostatic. Which also explains why no book of hers will ever bleed out...

According to multiple starred reviews, Jillian's books cause sleep deprivation and a drop in productivity, as well as visceral responses from her vivid descriptions -- side effects which might qualify as a breach of her Hippocratic Oath to 'do no harm.'

Here's what readers are saying:
- "Yukon Valley comes to life in the story. I strongly recommend this read, especially if you like Medical romances"
- "I’m reading about Alaska for the first time—it was captivating, and I couldn’t put the book down until the very end."
- "such a warm, comforting read—exactly the kind of story that sneaks up on you and settles in your chest."
- "I craved more when I finished this making me excited for the series."
- "I was engaged from the very first page and totally enjoyed this book."
"A great read, I honestly didn't want it to end."
- "I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next in the series!"
- "You will not want to start this book right before bed like I did because you won’t want to go to sleep."
- "...a highly original, paranormal, second chance, romantic suspense novel on steroids, and it kept me turning pages until dawn, and it gets 5 bleary-eyed stars from this reader."
- "I started this incredible paranormal suspense filled love story and couldn't put it down. I stayed up the entire night reading it."
- "Such an awesome read. As soon as I started it, I couldn't put it down. I even stayed home from the gym just to be able to finish this in the same day."
- "(T)his author sure knows how to write scenes that make you feel the physical injuries the characters are going through!"
- "(T)his (writer) can make you twist around in your seat in an effort to not pee yourself from fear."
- "Jillian writes incredibly interesting characters in situations that keep you reading late into the night, even if you have to work the next morning."
- "Just read the 4-book story (The Cowboys of Copper River series) to the end, started yesterday afternoon! Couldn't put it down, except for 3 hours when I fell asleep early this morning."

LETHAL COMRADE by Jillian David
Release date, July 17, 2026

I love the banter between Rodeo and Tachi! Rodeo has his work cut out for him. When Rodeo and Tachi get kidnapped Rodeo needs to use all of his skills and special abilities to find a way to escape.
Even with all the suspense of being kidnapped, I loved the interaction between these two. This is a great action read along with a bit of romance.

Well, done, Jillian 🩷

Heat story with Tachi and Rodeo. She’s a plus size model, ands he’s undercover to protect her designer. Sure he’s pretending to be a model right along with her. But when they both end up kidnapped together. Things take a serious twist. This was wire the venture and the two of them ending up coming tighter all the while they’re trying to get free from this prison.

Tachi and Rodeo meet in an unusual way. Tachi is a model and Rodeo is undercover to help protect the designer of Tachi's latest show. Rodeo is undercover as a model in the same show. Then all hell breaks loose! Nonstop action and a romantic ending!

Book review:
Lethal Comrade by Jillian David
I have read Jillian's books before but wow this one comes in fast and furious. I loved it. Even though it is the 4th book in her Project Morpheus series and I haven't read the first 3 , I still had a very good idea what was going on. Because Jillian does explain things that happened in previous books , so trust me when I say, I'm definitely going back and reading the first 3 books of super soldiers. This one is about Rodeo and Tachi. Her best friend's family is being targeted by a totally insane evil man, but Tachi still wants to help her friend, so she models down the runway with Rodeo protecting her until they get kidnapped by said evil man. Can Rodeo keep her safe and escape the prison they are put into? With the super soldier virus running through his body, will they have a future anyway? Find out in this really cool series. Thank you Jillian for letting me read this e-ARC. I really enjoyed it. 5 stars 🤩
P.S. Even though it was mostly a serious situation, I did have a couple of favorite lines, here is one of them, "Whatever you say, for the love of little puppies, do not finish that sentence." 😂

Lethal Comrade starts off with Rodeo and Tachi strutting the runway, flirting with style, before slamming into chaos as an explosion rips it all apart. It's an engaging, adrenaline-fueled mission that quickly goes off script. Rodeo has to depend on his wit and strength to outsmart the enemy while using his charm to keep Tachi grounded, protected, and fighting beside him.

Despite the sticky situation they find themselves in, the nonstop banter and sizzling chemistry bring plenty of laughs, even in the direst moments. The emotional struggle is a constant low hum throughout their fight for survival. The team adds warmth, camaraderie, and dark humour while we hold our breath, hoping love does its job.

An exciting, pulse-pounding entertainer.

Book 1 of Project Morpheus: Phase Two. And a FANtastic start it is! Look forward to more from this world.

'Trapped in a sadistic prison, Rodeo must shield Tachi, neutralize Lequire’s unnatural army, and resist false hope that a future exists for a smart, beautiful woman and a damaged soldier.'

The characters were very appealing and complex and compelling and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Plot was intriguing and intense and exciting and well paced. World building was excellent and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy the read!.

A delightful book that takes us into the lives of Rodeo and Tachi. Their journey starts excitingly when they are kidnapped together, and even though Rodeo has special abilities, they still have to find a way to escape because they are not out of danger yet. I enjoyed the sharp remarks back and forth and their bickering. Fantastic story and definitely recommended!

Those who enjoy reading about enhanced soldiers will like this book.
Tachi doesn't expect being kidnapped along side hunky Rodeo or what it takes to survive.
Plenty of Snark makes for some laugh out loud moments.
Do watch for this soon to be released book.
