Great Read

Another great quick read from Te Russ. I really liked Vicki and Dex's story and liked them as a couple because of their line of work.

Looking forward to Te's next book.

Best Book of the McAllister Family series

Vic and Dex’s story has a definite Mr. & Mrs. Smith feel to it. The chemistry between the main characters is evident from the very beginning and the vulnerablility they share with each other is endearing, especially given how kick ass they are in the rest of their lives.

As usual, Té’s writing is strong and although there were a few editing errors, they were not nearly as annoying as in the last few books. I am giving this book 4 stars because it kept me engaged, and loving every minute of the story despite the flaws.

I have been reading this author’s books in order, and I feel like this book may be a turning point. While the “formula” aspect of the book is still there, some of the dialogue and the sex scenes are definite stepped up a notch from her previous work. I am going to take a break to read a few other others before a come back and get into the next book by Té Russ.

Fun, action packed story.

Vicki meets her boss’s brother Dek at a baby shower and they instantly hit it off. Their relationship blossoms as they deal with new feelings and their dangerous jobs. Only Vicki doesn’t know Dek is more than just an IT guy.

I like both MCs a lot and felt their relationship progressed naturally. This book did a good job of balancing action with romance, I felt like I got just enough of both. When Vicki found out Dek’s secret her anger was justified and not over the top like in so many romance stories.

I want to spend more time with these two!! They’re awesome!

I was already a Te' Russ fan after the Nobles and Knights series, but I am loving everything about this McAllister Security Crossover. I didn't mean to start the series out of order, but oh well. Vicki is one kick ass chic and Dex was just as awesome. Love the fighting/gun action, and things with Dex's ex was good, although I wish her punishment was a little bit more drawn out.😂 I also loved seeing these two spend time with each other's families. Loved this story and look forward to getting the story on Zeke and Laila.💖💖

Undercover Love

This undercover love was reckless and dangerous and a lot of fun to read. Dex and Vic together proved to be a force to reckon with. If you like action,a little mystery mixed with some steamy love , I think you will enjoy this book even though there are a few typos

Bada$$

Awe, nothing like love when two bada$$es get together. Dex and Victoria could hold their own while also protecting each other. They had a keen sense of observation. I enjoyed reading the chemistry between them.

From the beginning, I was in love. I love a strong women lead and Victoria was it. She also had a strong leading man in Dex. Their chemistry was through the roof and I loved them as a couple. DeX the story line was a great adventure and I enjoyed it from the beginning to end!!.

Love It!

Te Russ does it again! Thus is part of a series. The book starts off w/a bang which draws you in. There’s danger from the beginning, a love story in the background. I love the ways mystery & suspense are intertwined. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Té put her foot in this

Té, I have read I think all of your books and again you have amazed me with your talent. McAllister Security is bad to the bone! This book has the right amount of everything. Hot steamy sex, suspense, nosey family, and rekindled love. I couldn't put it down. Great job Té, you are the queen!

Action with a little sex thrown in

Nice quick read. When I read a book for pure entertainment I like action and a little sex thrown in doesn't hurt and this book has both.

I want more!!!! A must read....

Whew...Dex & Vicki...Vicki & Dex. They say opposites attract. It was more like-minded sexy beings doing their thang! This story was awesome and I'm ready for the next one. In the meantime, I'll have to read this one again. #TeTeTe #Yas

Te' Russ' latest novel is a REALLY good read! She did a great job on writing a genre she'd never written before. So looking forward to more along this vein. It has been such a pleasure to watch Te push herself further than she's ever gone before and achieve levels previously unattained. Keep going!

Hot Hot Hot!!!!

Hot yes, Sexy yes, A good read, yes.. Ms Russ delivered another solid story in the McAllister repertoire. Dex and Vickie were a great team, and even better couple. I can't wait to see what happens with them in future stories. Zeke and Kayla looks like they might be the ones to keep an eye out for next!
