Sergeant Samantha O'Hara had no idea that when she was assigned to the 1266th Transportation Company, that she would meet sexy and flirty Chief Warrant Officer Raleigh Fitzgerald. But when their eyes met sparks flew as well as the bullets. It was against Army Regulations they knew that, but it was an undeniable attraction. She wasn't sure how long she could hold out he had a way of getting under her skin. She would do everything she could not to be another notch on his bedpost but would he let her go that easy.
Raleigh was used to getting what he wanted and right now little Miss Sam was on the top of his list. He had met and bedded a lot of women, but she was like no other. He had to have her and no Army Regulation would get in his way. He had been through hell and back multiple deployments and recovering from a bullet wound to the shoulder. This would be an easy investigation or so he thought; Go to Chicago check out the inventory then leave, EASY. Until it took them from Chicago to Fort Bragg then to New Orleans; with a terror cell in the equation would either of them survive?

Warranted Pleasures is book 1 in the Warranted Series, from author Shannon R. Nemechek this is my first book from this author, and I cannot wait to see what other great stories I can read from this author or what else to come in this series! This book is part of a series, but can also be read as a stand-alone.
This book was amazing. It had everything you needed to make this an amazing read that I was unable to put down and it had me hooked from the first page. The two characters in this book were captivating to read and I loved everything about them, they had an undeniable connection from the moment they laid eyes on each other, a connection that was sizzling in the forefront for most of this book, that just continued to build until the perfect moment for both of these characters to finally take action. I’ve smiled while reading this book, I’ve laughed, I’ve been frustrated, I’ve been shocked and hot under the collar all while reading this book. This book is full of action, adventure and suspense, passion, an undeniable connection. A hot gorgeous man in uniform that you couldn’t help but swoon over and boy oh boy were the sexy scene’s hot and steamy! A powerful, strong beautiful woman that can stand up for herself and protect herself against things.
You knew from the story line that something was brewing, but you could never guess what it was. There were various twist and turns through this book that you didn’t want to miss so you were on the edge of seat the whole book awaiting the chaos that you knew would erupt.
I normally only like reading dual POV’S, this didn’t have each chapter by a different character, but I really enjoyed how this was written, I could tell whose part of the story I was reading, it flowed and I never lost track of who part was who’s.
Sam is a beautiful, strong, independent woman, that you can help but be drawn to her character. I liked that she was fearless and took chances, but she also knew when her time was to step back with authority. I never would have guess that Sam had been through a traumatic experience, but it shows that she doesn’t let it rule her life and how strong she is. I like how hard she tried to resist the pull that she had to Raleigh, but she also knew that something connected them, something she couldn’t put her finger on. These two make a great team and couple in and out of uniform and I can’t wait to see what else lies ahead for them.
Rayleigh is confident, sexy and a great at what he does. Being sent to another work place in order to figure out the missing items, what he never expects is to instantly meet his soul mate. After having his own issues and traumatic experience I loved seeing him overcome that and really start to believe and want Sam in every way possible. He knows what he wants and he will do everything he can to get her. He connected with Sam on so many levels, not just as work colleagues that had a great connection that was real and something everyone wished for. I loved the little extra spark that flies between these after are stories are told, and this one is so sweet and just shows that these two are meant to be.
This is a brilliant read full of action, adventure, suspense and real characters with an undeniable connection. But after that ending I can’t wait to read what happens with these two characters story and hope this isn’t the last of it, I can’t wait to see what could lay ahead for Rayleigh & Sam.

Warranted Pleasures By Shannon R. Nemechek 4 Stars!
This is the first book that I have read by Shannon and it is also my first military book! I loved it! It had action, romance, mystery all put together is one book, and it ended up being a fantastic well written read. Chief Warrant Officer Raleigh Fitzgerald is sent to Chicago to investigate some weapons that went missing from the 1266th Transportation Company. Raleigh is young, flirtatious, and very single. He is also sexy as sin! Sergeant Samantha O’Hara recently was assigned to the 1266th T.C. and she has also been sent to greet Raleigh at the airport. Samantha is beautiful and like Raleigh, she is also VERY single and her love life is completely non-existent. I absolutely loved her! When Raleigh sees her holding a sign with his name on it, he couldn’t help but feel a furious burning desire for her, even though they just met. But even if she the most spectacular creature he has ever seem, she is a noncommissioned officer and that makes her COMPLETELY OFF LIMITS. He still wants her though, and when he wants something he gets it. But will the cost of having her outweigh the benefits? And like most stories there is always some form of a big bad wolf. Secrets are revealed and it seems like no one can be trusted! The banter between these too is AMAZING! They just go together great! There are some super hot naughty scenes too! This book kept me on the edge of my seat with the twists and unexpected turns. It flowed really nicely and like I said before I loved her writing style. It was a great read and I will be recommending it to my friends that need a fast paced and sexy read!
Warranted Pleasures Book 1 of A Warranted Series by Shannon Nemechek – 4 stars
The good: An interesting mystery surrounding missing weapons and stolen items The good: A visually appealing description of New Orleans The good: I was able to picture the characters and interrogation rooms in my head because I have watched every episode of NCIS and am now an “expert military investigator” The good: The characters were set up quickly so there was no guessing as to what roll everyone played. The good: The discovery of familiarity along the way.
The frustrating: There was so much dialog that contained the words baby, babe and darlin’ that I found myself groaning every couple of sentences. The frustrating: There was a lot of talk and thoughts about sexy times and not a lot of action. They are putting their careers on the line just for some cuddle time.
Overall it was a well plotted book that follows the story line from beginning to end. The good definitely outweighed the frustrating.
Warranted Pleasures is written by Shannon Nemechek who is a veteran of The United States Army. She served from 1987 to 2015 and I am so grateful that she is an example of women in the military. There are a few mentions in this story about the “abuse” that women in the military face with sexual innuendos and inappropriate touching, etc. I would hope that we are getting to be a more equal force and everyone is looked at as human beings instead of by gender, but I know that’s an unrealistic view. Thank you for your continued service Ms. Nemechek.
Warranted Pleasures Is Book 1 of The Warranted Series by Shannon Nemechek. This is the first book that I have read by this author. I thought the book was okay. I felt the book just ended without warning. I wasn't expecting it to end so quickly.
The book was full of action and of course a back story which you will read about towards the end of the book.
Chief Raleigh Fitzgerald has been sent to Chicago to investigate property loss at one of the division's smaller companies. When he gets off the plane he is greeted by Sergeant Samantha O'Hara. They immediately have chemistry which might complicate things for them during this investigation. Luckily for Raleigh he has many contacts in the military. Him and Sam chase leads all over the place and what they find out is enough to crush Raleigh.
Sam gets injured, and one of Raleighs oldest and closest friends is being accused of some really shady business which is very serious and could end up ending his career in the military if its true.
I felt like the characters had such strong feelings for eachother from the very beginning. And then just to see them after one night was alittle crazy to me.
I liked how the book ended but, I just felt like there was so much left unsaid. Maybe the next book in the series will pick up where this one left off. Im not really sure since this is the first book I've read by this author so I'm not familiar with her writing style.
Four Stars The story is about Raleigh Fitzgerald US Army Chief Warrant Officer 3. He is the go to guy to solve property loss for the Army. The General felt that no one but him could get this mission done. He then meets Sergeant Samantha O'Hara who is a dream come true. At first it was all we can’t because we will get in trouble. Then it’s who cares lets do this. Then it’s all let’s wait darling it has to be perfect. Reviews are hard to write. You have to judge by what you felt while you reading the book. You have to keep in mind that though it might not be for you it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good book. One man’s trash is another’s man’s treasure. So with that in mind I liked where the story was heading. There were really good moments and there are shaky moments. The whole “darling” thing was annoying. I did enjoy some parts of the book. And it’s hard to point out the good when you get side tracked by the bad. Though I didn’t feel that the word flow was good. The context was there. I just made it flow in my head. I laughed at many parts and felt bad for Raleigh in others. The author did good on giving the characters background and true emotion. The characters didn’t fit as a couple. Their flow of conversation seemed lacking. I gave this story four stars because it was a good story and I appreciate the authors time and courage for putting themselves out there. For giving my a taste of their world.
Warranted Pleasures is a forbidden military romance Military romances are one of my favourite things to read and this did not disappoint.
Sam is a mere Non Commissioned officer. So when Raleigh, a chief warrant officer, comes to her base they know that even though they have strong feelings for each other, they knew that a relationship would be forbidden.
Raleigh, has had many women and Sam refuses to be one of them. However, when you have a strong attraction to someone you can not hold out for long.
When Sam dreams about him all the time and she loses all control on her ability to think straight.
'For one night only, she would put away her emotions and inhibitions and just let the chips fall where they may.'
Raleigh, wants to be back in Alabama. He does not like that he has been sent to another base. He wants to get everything done as quickly as possible.
'The faster I get to this company the faster I will get out of this city back to Alabama.'
This is the first book in the series and it holds very high expectations for any other books that come after!
Overall, I loved the twists and turns in the book. It was so amazing. I found myself not being able to stop reading, I had to carry on to find out more. There were things that I did not see coming and there were bits that I did. It is a thoroughly good book and I would highly recommend!

Plus, who doesn’t like a good mystery thrown in the mix with some steamy love scenes. Every aspect of the investigation is detailed within the story. This is a quick read and can be read in one sitting. This will definitely will not be the last book I read by Shannon Nemechek. I look forward to reading other books written by her.
This was a book that leads you on an amazing journey! Superbly written by author Sharon Nemecheck ,completely new to me as a reader I was instantly captivated from the very beginning.

Warranted Pleasures (Warranted Series Book 1) By Shannon Nemechek 4 stars I really enjoy military romance stories so I was really looking forward to reading Warranted Pleasures. This is also the first book that I have read by this author. Overall I really enjoyed the story I have to be completely honest when I say the second half of the story was better than the first half – but even so I still really enjoyed the first half I just felt the story really came alive at about the 50-60% mark. I thought the writing however was very good throughout the entire book; the descriptive writing in particular was really great. I especially loved the part in New Orleans; I could imagine what I was reading. There were some good twists in the second half of the story that I definitely didn’t see coming. I liked the main characters of Sam and Raleigh; I thought they had a great chemistry. Sam was a great heroine in the story, strong, independent with a good sense of humour. I loved that she could hold her own in a career heavily populated with men. Raleigh was a great alpha male character. I loved some of the things that he did for Sam – very romantic! Along with the romance side to the story there is a nice suspense storyline that goes along with it. The ending to the story is quite abrupt and I desperately wanted more of Sam and Raleigh - hope we see them again in the future! There were also some great secondary characters who I would like to know more about. I did enjoy this book and will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author in the future. I give Warranted Pleasure 4 stars!

Who doesn't love a good love story where two actual soulmates get together. If you like yourself some "sexy army man" this is a book for you.
Warranted Pleasures is the first book in the Warranted Series book. I enjoyed the story, but felt like it ended abruptly and that were some incomplete portions of the story and I really feel that Raleigh could have been more Alpha than he was, but maybe that is just my preference especially with a Special Forces military man. I liked it the story and will be keeping my eye out of the second book in this series.
Raleigh Fitzgerald is heading up to Chicago to assist Samantha O’Hara who is a Staff Sargent in the Army has discovered some missing items from her inventory. She meets him at the airport and they are both instantly attracted to one another but any sort of relationship is forbidden since he is her superior. They do everything possible to fight the attraction but it is futile.
While investigating the missing inventory from Chicago and Fort Bragg, they find the trail leading to the people behind everything. They discover it is much bigger than they even could have imagined and the path leads to them to answers that causes a lot of pain and suffering for not only Samantha and Raleigh but several others.
I hope to see a lot more of Madison, Samantha’s best friend. There was just something about her that I liked even though she wasn’t in there much. I also want to see more of Matt who was a friend of Raleigh’s from Fort Bragg. Oh, maybe they will somehow meet……
A 4 star read for Warranted Pleasures, A Warranted Series Book 1, by Shannon Nemechek. This is a new author to me. I was excited to read this book because you can never go wrong with a sexy military man.

She doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize her job but she knows that being with Raleigh is inevitable.
The attraction between Samantha and Raleigh is immediate and so strong. The chemistry between these two was amazing.

I can not wait to see what else is going to be coming our way by this wonderful author. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have!!!

Samantha is determined to stay focused and not become a notch on Raleighs bed post. Determined to keep their relationship professional. Raleigh has other plans. He must have Samantha but at what cost. Will their Military careers keep them apart? Will they be able to do the job they were assigned to do? I am so happy I had the oppurinty to read this book. Ms Nemechek has enthralled us with this story. Her knowledge of the military adds to the awesomeness of this book. Seduction, twist and turns and suspense will have you finishing this book in one sitting. I highly recommend you read Warranted Pleasures and be prepared to be blown away.
I grabbed this book for a couple of reasons. One was the author was attending a book event I was going to be attending. The other was that it was a military book ad I tend to enjoy reading them. I will say this book did throw a lot of military jargon at me so at times I was reading and figuring out what the heck was said through conversation. So be ready when reading to wonder briefly what is happening LOL.
OK Samantha and Raleigh are two military personnel thrown together to try and figure out where some lost supplies are. Simple enough, right? WELL not so simple when she is off limits to him and him to her. They two are fighting their attraction all log because it’s not allowed.
The two are searching for lost supplies that we learn are actually guns…no Bueno right!! The couple are spending a lot of time together and are really fighting the attraction to one another. When Raleigh discovers a close friend is involved, well things get kinda crazy. The mystery takes them all over and then they end up in a very romantic place. Can they fight this for much longer?????
I enjoyed the book but at times felt like there was a little too much description happening…like there was too much “explaining” things to me. I did enjoy the book and look forward to reading another by the author in the future.

You will love her main characters. Such a fantastic story, I can't wait to see where book 2 takes me. Not recommended for those under 18 due to sexual and adult content.
Warranted Pleasures is book one in the Warranted series by Shannon R. Nemechek. It’s the first I have read by this author. I liked how it had a bunch of action and there was a puzzle they were trying to figure out together, as they were falling in love.
Samantha and Raleigh shouldn’t technically be dating, because of their different positions in the military. But they are attracted to each other immediately. They are brought together during an investigation into missing weapons that turns into so much more. Raleigh is what Sam would call a mix between a southern gentleman and a rascal, but he is ready to settle down and determined to win her heart, which doesn’t seem too difficult to do. This is a slow burn. There’s some fooling around, but they wanted to wait until things were perfect to go all the way. And every time they made plans, something got in the way! A couple sticking points with me were that the ending seemed a little abrupt and sometimes I felt the writing was a little formal for my tastes. However the storyline was interesting, with well-rounded characters and a strong heroine. These two both have traumatic moments in their pasts, both in their jobs and in their love lives, and deserve the happiness they can find in each other. It had bits of humor sprinkled throughout. Overall, it was an enjoyable read.
Warranted Pleasures was a wham bam, thank you ma'am kind of book. It was fast paced and just kept on going. Shannon Nemecheck put together a great book. Chief Warrant Officer Raleigh Fitzgerald is sent to Chicago to help that army company figure out their supplies issue. You see... millions of dollars worth of serious supplies are going missing. He hopes it'll be a quick trip so he can get back to Alabama. He despises the city life. One look at the new Supply Sergeant Samantha O'Hara kind of changes his mind. If he has to work every day along side her he might stay a few more extra days even though fraternizing is against the rules. Sam tries hard to ignore the sexual tension between her and Raleigh. Its forbidden. She likes her job and doesn't want to do anything that might jeopardize it. It doesn't take very long for them to decide that rules are meant to be broken. As they investigate deeper uncovering all the people possibly involved in supplies theft weird things start happening. Sam is injured. Best friend bonds are tested. And sparks fly between Sam and Raleigh. Seriously Shannon... you did good. I didn't know what was going to happen next. WHO else would be involved. How many other army stations were effected. And seriously it was either sent to ISIS or sold over seas to other sectors. That's just mind boggling. Again, Good Job!

This is the first book that I have read by the author and “wow!” she has written a story that has plenty of mystery and very steamy romance. It takes you on a rollercoaster ride from the very beginning. I like the methodical way that the investigation goes forward. There are other characters that you are introduced to in this book and as it is book one in a series I would love to learn more about them in future stories. This is a wonderful book to get lost in for the afternoon. This story does have adult situations and plenty of steamy romance. It would be for those 18 years of age or older.

Book Review: Warranted Pleasures Author: Shannon Nemechek FIVE STARS Shannon Nemechek is writing a military romance in this book. A Cheif Warrant officer and a Non-Commissioned officer meet during an investigation and yes it is supposed to be against military rules for them to have a relationship, but is that going to stop Raleigh from pursuing Samantha? This was not my first military romance, I love wounded warrior romances and all romances that have to do with the military and the heros of this world finding their loves. The sexual tension between Raleigh and Samantha is very high as they try to keep each other at arms length distance. Raleigh wants Samantha, yet Samantha doesn't just want to be another notch in his bed post. Full of mystery and intrigue. The details and the militay talk throughout the book let you know that either Shannon Nemechek has been around military or she has thoroughly researched this. Either way it was very well done. This book has it all. Mystery, romance, steamy sex, and a happily ever after. This is the first book in the series, Warranted, and I hope to read the others as soon as they come out. Kelli Harper
Warranted pleasures by Shannon nemechek is an erotic romance between two army personnel who should definitely not be fraternising. Sam is a hard working supply officer and Raleigh is an equally hardworking warrant officer, but together they are one lean, mean machine. Army supplies have been going missing but nothing is missing from the books, this is a huge problem as it means someone on the inside is behind it. But when Raleigh and Sam first lay eyes on each other it becomes harder and harder to keep their minds on the job and not on each other. I gave this book three stars for a few reasons, number one is that this is a pretty good first novel, but as a first novel there are a few areas for improvement. Second is that I don’t think anyone says ‘ya’ quite that much, or ‘baby’ as both main characters were using the same type of language it made it difficult at times to immediately distinguish who was talking. Three is that there were a few times when more erotic action should have happened but didn’t because the characters actions were too noble (for lack of a better term), for all the dirty thinking they were doing not much actual romantic action was happening. The book started out well but lost a bit of sizzle in the middle. All in all a good first book, I will be making sure to keep an eye on Shannon nemechek and her future stories.
Warranted Pleasures (a Warranted Series Book 1) by Shannon Nemechek Rated 4 stars
Chief Warrant Officer Raleigh Fitzgerald has been sent to a Chicago military facility to figure out why supplies are missing. He is met at the airport by the new Supply Sergeant Samantha O'Hara. They both immediately realize they have an attraction to each other. The problem is that the military frowns upon fraternization between the ranks. As time moves on Raleigh is wondering if they could be discreet because he can not stop thinking about her. The other side of this story is the missing supplies. This becomes a mystery as a who did it and why. I really like this portion of the book more than the attraction. I felt this moved forward at a more normal pace and the attraction was pretty much all over the place. From in your face hot to cold to freezing to warm. A slow build up meshed in along with the mystery part would have synchronized the whole story better. I didn't really understand why she needed or was allowed to fly all over with him. It wasn't their case it was his and I would be surprised if the military would see a need to let her go along. Raleigh is a southern gentleman to the core. At first he seems to come off as a ladies man but it's just his southern charm. I really liked the Military part of Raleigh. He seemed in command and had a nice group of friends. This is a ok book. Overdone a bit at the beginning with all the crazy sexy thoughts and actions between them. That tamed way down as the other story ramped up. I feel the ending was a bit abrupt but in that respect it went along with the rest of the story. No epilogue was needed but maybe a slow release of the book for the reader.

Chief Warrant Officer Raleigh Fitzgerald arrives in Chicago to investigate some missing military equipment, he is met at the airport by Samantha “Sam” O’Hara a non commissioned officer stationed at the 1266th, he knows almost from the first minute he meets her that he wants her, but it's against regulations so he knows this is impossible, or is it? When they stop to have coffee it becomes clear to her that he is quite the flirt with his southern charm and she refuses to become another notch on his bedpost, but that doesn't stop her from fantasizing about him. As they start their investigation it becomes clear they are dealing with someone that Raleigh is very familiar with and he just can not wrap his mind around it. As the two start unwrapping clues they become closer and find that they can't fight their feelings for each other, yet do their best to keep it under the radar. Their investigation turns into much more than bargained for when it turns out it is terrorist related and is much more dangerous than they expected. Will their new relationship be doomed before they even have a chance at happiness?
I really liked this book, it moved fast and I really liked the characters in this story, they were well developed. I only wish there would have been an epilogue but i think I know where the story went afterwards anyway so that's ok. This is my first book by this author and definitely won't be my last.
Warranted Pleasures by Shannon Nemechek is the first book in the Warranted Series and it was AMAZING! This was the first book I have read from the author and I can guarantee it won't be my last. This is a military romance novel that will take you on an amazing journey between these two people. There's suspense, there's love, and there are definitely some bumps along the way, but don't let that fool you, this book is amazing! An amazing 5 stars!
There's an instant attraction between the two of them, every time she looks at him, she can't help but lose herself in them. But she knows it's against the rules, it's against everything she knows. But now she can't seem to forget him, she can't keep her thoughts about him professional. She doesn't want to be another notch in the bedpost, and she refuses to lose everything she's worked so hard to have. But there's an issue, he always gets what he wants. Always. So will he get what he wants this time? Or will she prove to everyone and herself, that she is strong enough to fight this attraction?
This book was amazing! I honestly can't say enough good things about it. It's steamy, hot and so much more. I found myself getting lost in the twists and turns that were happening, and how much the past can effect you. I honestly wished the story hadn't ended. I fell in love with these two characters, and I can't wait to see what these authors come up with next!
