No Way in Hell: Part 2

Steel Corps / Trident Security Crossover #2

by J.B. Havens, Samantha A. Cole

Reading Book 1 is necessary, prior to reading Book 2.

Steel Corps—an elite, covert U.S. military team led by Staff Sergeant Bea ‘Mic’ Michaels, based out of a secure location in Pennsylvania.

Trident Security—a private security agency located in Tampa, Florida, comprised of retired Navy SEALs.

T. Carter—U.S. spy and assassin.

What do they have in common? They all do Uncle Sam’s dirty work.

How did they get started and how did their paths cross? Find out as they prepare to join forces to take down a domestic terrorist organization with one goal in mind—to destroy what these men and one woman will fight to the death to protect—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

No Way in Hell is a two-part crossover novel uniting J.B. Haven’s Steel Corps Series and Samantha A. Cole’s Trident Security Series. While reading both series is not necessary prior to reading No Way in Hell, it is recommended for optimum enjoyment.

Five fantastic Stars!

"No Way in Hell" book two, picks up right where book on left off and had me fully entrenched in the story .i have said it over and over again I love my Trident boys and I am dying for Carters full story but I have to say after reading these two books , I have to find time to read Ms Havens Steel corps because I want more of Bea Michaels and her team stories!
I could rattle on and tell you plotline but I refuse to do that , I do not want to ruin it one bit for you the reader. So, let's just say the plotline is riveting and the teams find themselves up against a ticking clock with a potential catastrophic ending, one that Bea and Carter will be called to use their special talents to prevent .
This is a no miss crossover for Trident and Steel fans one I hope the authors do more of and a great taste for anyone new to both series.
It goes without saying you have to read "No way in Hell" book one first. Enjoy I know I did !

Arc was Graciuosly supplied by authors for an honest review.

No Way In Hell: A Steel Corps/Trident Security Crossover Book 1 & 2
Samantha Cole and J.B. Havens

10 stars … ( That’s 5 each friends or give them both all 10 .. just read the books)

So its no secret that I love all of Samantha Cole’s books – we all know Im a huge fan – I could not wait to get my hands on this two book series.

I was thrilled to get a look back into T. Carter’s childhood. As tainted as it was I understood now what continue to drives Carter to be the person that he is. No one should fear him except for the person or persons he is gunning for. Loyal to the end and always there in the shadows if you have this man’s loyalty you are one lucky gem. The blonde locks – the eminent charm – of a deadly U.S. spy and assassin … gives me goose bumps.

Bea Michaels who turns into Sergeant Bea “Mic” Michaels is not a stranger to a dark past. Thank goodness for her Aunt who loved her and took her in from her abusive father. When her mother died he changed according to her. He was lost and Bea became the person who killed her instead of the daughter he should have loved and treasured. Surviving then and surviving now, Bea is pulled into an elite covert U.S. military team. Only knowing Carter by a number and vice versa the two are about to cross paths in one of the most crucial missions of their lives.

The Trident men are also kicking ass and taking names. You could not give me enough of the back story of the boys. Not only do we get to see them in action prior to opening the private security agency but we also get one small sentence that made my heart full …. We hear of Jen and her parents when they were still alive.

Mic and her right hand Phillips are off to meet Carter as he has infiltrated the group being brought down. What happens next is not rainbows and lollipops …. Its one hard core mission that has its ups and downs; some harder to take than others. Bea has things in her head that need to get straight and Carter can see straight in to her thoughts. Being the man he is, Carter steps up to the plate and takes on the toughest woman he has ever met.

Bea – can I be her? I want to be her. Own that life girl …..

I simply LOVED LOVED LOVED these books. Me…. I always want more. I always wish for more. So ladies .. get to writing. Book one ends with somewhat of a cliffy. Nothing too fierce but definitely has you taking a gut check knowing whats about to go down and who is going in. Book two – you are going to lose it.

Why … because …. NEVER did I see Carter in such a light as I do now. If before I thought he was a diamond in a haystack – the man is now the freaking Harry Winston Isadora.

Thank you ladies for honoring me with an ARC. Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

No Way In Hell book 2
Steel Corps / Trident Security crossover
Samantha Cole and JB Havens
million is still not enough stars

I’ve literally just finished book 2, and was shocked at how hard this is to review for 2 reasons.

1. I loved it so much I can’t get onto or into words just how fantastic it was.
2. I don’t want to ruin it for future readers, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND READ THESE!!!

So after sending a message to these most awesome ladies, I realised my message says it all.

Ladies, ladies, ladies! OMFG. I've just finished No Way In Hell 2, and I'm dumbstruck, stocked like literally standing here with my mouth open... holy hell, that was the read/reads of the year for me. I'm not sure I can even handle writing a review yet, but I'm afraid if I don't, the next book will take over and I'll be left going WTF.... JB, I'm guaranteed checking out your Steel corps books, I've been with Sam from the beginning so have read all of the Trident stories, I certainly look forward to starting yours. Please tell me Mic is there. I have 4 girl crushes now, you two, Mic and P!nk ( does that sound weird?) Oh well. Rock on ladies, you rule !!!!!!!!!

So it must be said – book 1 is a must for you to understand book 2, and although I’ve followed the sexy six pack of Trident Security, I had not had the pleasure of meeting Steel Corps. Never fear they will now be an upcoming read for me, like I hadn’t fallen for Bea ( Mic) in book one, I love her just a little bit more now. Her big, bad ass mentality and don’t push me aside because I’m a woman or I’ll bust your balls attitude, she can and will take on any man, including Carter, Mr mysterious himself.

Finding themselves working together undercover 1st, then with Trident Security, Steel Corps, Deimos, the FBI and homeland security to take down a Hitler wannabe bomber intent on causing mass destruction. It will be Carter, Mic and Phillips against it all. Undercover it seems is not all bad though. Mic must overcome PTSD from earlier life to open herself, and it is Carter who helps. All of a sudden dominant Master Carter has a much softer side.

Together and with their teams they work to bust a catastrophic bombing that held me right through till the very last page... (enter gasping breaths now). This is no sweet love story, once again, badass woman who isn’t afraid to use force if necessary, a trigger happy dominant assasin who doesn’t mind some torture, and more guns and weapons than I’ve ever heard off.
Enjoy the ride of your life in No Way In Hell.

I finished Reading these books earlier today. I have been trying to figure out what to say. It is rare that I am truly speechless. It is even rarer that it happens because of books. To say I loved these is simply not strong enough. I am not typically a fan of 1st person POV but JB Havens has a way of making it work. Add in Samantha Cole and you have a truly unique set of books that flawlessly combine two series into one world that cannot be matched. These two books are fast paced, action oriented, and heat filled. There is not the expected romance but that simply would have been out of place in this set of books. They background that came from them was invaluable and make both series that much better and makes the romance that happens in them that much sweeter. And Carter…OMG…I need Carter in my life. I cannot encourage you enough to read these books and then get the series they are based on. Thank you JB Havens and Samantha A Cole for such an exciting adventure and escape from reality.

[Tracy · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!!!... no spoilers from me... but this book has knocked me on my ass... over and over with all the twists and turns!!!
A perfect conclusion to an awesome duet that picks up perfectly where part one ended!!!
Again the flow continued throughout the book perfectly and the direction of the story was absolutely amazing!!!
Again I couldn't put the book down and i read it in one sitting the same as part one!!!
I truly recommend this book as a 10 out of 10 read that everyone needs to read and it really is a not to be missed duet!!!
Ms Cole and Ms Havens have done a brilliant job working together bringing Steel Corps and Trident Security together... and i am really looking forward to future collaborations between these two authors as i am for each respective series also!!!
All in all i can not express how much i thoroughly have enjoy No Way In Hell and Carter has once and for all... stolen my heart!!!

[Janet · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second crossover novel between the Steel Corps series and the Trident Security series. Written by two different authors, but so seamlessly presented I did not see any choppiness. While this two part series was written and released after the other series were, I would highly recommend you read this crossover series prior to the others because it is more of a prequel to those series. Both authors did an excellent job in this joint venture and since I’ve only read the Trident Security series I’m interested in learning more about Mic and her team in Steel Corps. Part two focuses more on the actual mission that is so intriguing you will not able to put your kindle down. It is a quick read and could have been written as one book instead of two novellas. I read and reviewed for KFA.

[Kelle Braun · Rating 5 out of 5]

And it just keeps getting better! The two writing styles just go so well together, it’s tough to know who wrote what. To see the blossoming connection and friendship between Mic and Carter is phenomenal. For those of us who have read the Trident Series by Samantha A. Cole and Steel Corps Series by JB Havens, it was exciting to hear they would be working together and they work so well together.

I surely hope that this is only the beginning of them working together because I am a fan of both, and both of them together, for LIFE!

Great Read

It was great to see the conclusion of this book and to see the bad guys get what they do deserved - I loved how Carter and Bea come together to form the team for the mission.

[Literary Epic · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is part two, you have to have read part one to get the full effect of this book. Its starts off with Carter in camp waiting for Mic and Phillips to join him and help take down a terrorist organization.

No Way in Hell part 2 was again dark, hard hitting and mesmerising. God, it was written so well. You’re kept on the edge of your seat trying to find out if their mission is going to work.

I LOVE Carter, he is one of my favourites in the Trident series but I’m so intrigued by Mic. I’m going to have to get my hands on the Steel Corps books. She is one hell of a women. I have to see when her journey goes from here and if she takes Carters advice. Having said that Carter and Mic together make the most amazing team. The trust they have with one another is phenomenal.

I would love to see more crossover books from Samantha and J.B. Great books that U highly recommend!

Actually 3.5 stars

In Part 2 of the No Way In Hell crossover duology, we see the actual mission government agent T. Carter and Staff Sergeant 'Mic' Michaelson undertake to stop an extremist militia group from blowing up public buildings (and the people in them).

The second part definitely has more action, but it doesn't sacrifice character development for action. I'm not sure why this was released as a two-parter, when it would have been even better as one complete novel, but it's good. The action is a little too speedy (necessary given the length of the book) but is otherwise very good.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

Compelling Story

Ok, so it's a story well told, but it wasn't the story I was hoping for. If you're looking for military suspense with all the messy details, this is it! If you're looking for romantic suspense, this is not the book you want.

Lots --LOTS -- of violence, including men hitting women, women brawling, and descriptions of torture. And that's the good guys! The bad guys were worse.

I'm going back to the Trident Security series. I like the minimal to moderate violence (mostly told in abstract) and the BDSM storylines with plenty of sexy times I find there.

[Connie Cintron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Action packed

I love that these 2 series were combined and I hope they will do it again at some point! A must read for action seekers!

[Yvonne Eason · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second book in the series and the conclusion to the 1st book.

We catch up again with the Steel Corps and Trident Security Teams and T Carter spy/assassin.

Will the work to bring down the biggest organisation they have ever had or will ever have to go up against go to plan?

These are two great authors and I am so looking forward to see what the teams endure after.

[2kasmom · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the 2nd book, Part Two of the No Way In Hell crossover from both the acclaimed Steel Corp. & Trident Security book series. It gives you background into some very private characters and how they came to be where they are. I recommend reading this in order, as it will enhance understanding and enjoyment.

Bea AKA "Mic" Michaels and T. Carter have now kissed and decided to remain friends. While very protective of one another, they are also glad when they have each other's backs. It is hard to trust when you are this far undercover.

Carter knows under different circumstances, he would have liked to be able to take down the enemy without involving a woman. Especially not one who commands respect. One no one wants to lose.

Such a great story and very powerful message. I really loved that the characters worked well together. There are obvious signs in this book of character development, and continued enjoyment while reading these characters later - can be found in their respective series books.

[Thelma · Rating 5 out of 5]

so i left my book 1 review talking about how we can meet a little more about the past of each character like Carter and Mic as well as other trident security members making appearance in this books..

in this book, you can see more action of the mission Carter and Mic are .. both of them are working to dismantelate a sect of "nazis"or white power who are trying to terrorize the city as well as the whole world .. by putting in motion a suicided mission ... both Mic and Carter infiltrate this cult to be able to know what are exactly their plans to conquer the world... even though Carter is playing the boyfriend character with Mic to make their cover operation more believable .. Carter still has Jordyn in his mind .. Plus Mic is more of a Domme type than a submissive type for Cater and a great friend..

this book is full of suspense you are not going to be able to put it down once you start ... and did i say Carter has shower scene? thats all what i'm going to say ;)

[Rebecca Austin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second book in the No Way in Hell Series and book 1 needs to be read first.

As Mic, Phillips and Carter get ready to go undercover at a neo-Nazi compound tensions run high. Will they be able to get information out to the boys of Trident?

How long will they be able to keep their covers up when someone gets close to them? Will they be able to stop the attacks in time?

I loved this book, especially the scenes between Carter and Mic. I haven't read any of the Steel Corps books but I can't wait to now as I am completely sold on the characters of Mic and Phillips.

I think one thing I enjoyed was the relevance in today's society in that this is something that could honestly take place today but I loved that they were able to stop it by working together.

I hope we get some more crossover books as I love the men of Trident!!

[Mags · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this story a lot, not as much as the first part though as there is less action in this one. Although when the action did start it kept me on the edge of my seat and the last few chapters were especially gripping.

As for this part it focuses a lot on the characters and there individual stories whilst also dealing with the task of taking down a huge neo nazi organisation that is planning multiple mass bombings in the US and Europe and I loved how the story was written not only from Mic and Carter's point of view but from other members of Trident's too. I also loved the bond that developed between Mic and Carter throughout this story.

Overall though this was an enjoyable conclusion to the story, and it has left me excited to read Carter's story when it's released and introduced me to a new author and series that I'm also excited to read.

[Books And · Rating 5 out of 5]

A joint writing by two wonderful military romance authors. Book 1 and Book 2 of No Way in Hell are stories of how JB Havens' Steel team and Samantha A Cole's Trident security came to be. These books blend both teams characters seamlessly and give you background into each characters past trials as well as current ones bringing forth the strength, humor and ass kicking skills you already love from reading both series. If you haven't read all books from these two authors then you are missing out on the funny conversations, great action from both strong military men and women and steamy sexual tension. I thoroughly enjoyed getting the back story on my favorite characters as well as reading another great "save the world with sex and snark" story I have come to expect from both these great authors

Holy shit! .

Wow i freakin loooooovveeed this series . I knew i would but really it blew my mind . I absolutely adore Mic' and im in lust with 'Carter' .
I loved how in depth the story was and the explanation of each character and their back story . It made me feel like i was right there in the book and in the trenches with each of them .
I need to know that mic's father geys what he deserves and that Mic's aunt Bea is happy . I was so glad that Carter's foster sister got away and had a good life to . Just so happy with this story i cant praise it enough.
Now i need Carter's story i need to know what happened with him and jordyn .. cannot wait for that one.

No Way in Hell-Part 2

This book is a perfect end to the story. The characters and story line stay true to part one. All aspects of the Steel Corp and Trident Securities working g together towards a common goal work. The story lines culminate into the perfect ending g. I loved the glimpse that we got into both teams and how they melded together as one. Both Samantha Cole and J. B. Havens know how to entice and enthrall a reader with a good military story.
Loved this book and would read a anything these two authors wrote. I highly recommend this set of books.

[Pam · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 2 carries on with the story of how Trident Security & Steel Corps came to exist. This book is about a joint operation to run an op to protect the US. This book is another great collaboration between Samantha Cole & JB Havens.

These characters are written to give us a glimpse into the back stories of men & women in uniform & what attracts them into covert operations. The characters are relatable & have been written to show the family atmosphere that has developed in their units.

No way in hell 2
A Steel Corp's/Trident Security
Crossover Novel


In the continuing story we get to see the plan to infiltrate the Neo Nazis come to fruition.
The way these guys band together to make sure the plan works and the risk they take to protect their country is heartwarming. I loved seeing a glimpse of what everyone was like before we got to know them in their stories.
Well worth the read.

[Kirsty Adams - Kindle Freak Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

All I can say is Wow. This is such an addictive read that I read it from start to finish without stopping. Loved Carter and Mic's relationship. The two characters from two incredible series are united to make one fire cracker story. The chemistry is there bubbling under the surface throughout, but the genuine friendship that they form whilst working together is what makes this a winning story for me. This collaboration has proved to be a great success!

[Cathy B · Rating 5 out of 5]

What can I say... Book 2 of NWIH is as amazeballs as the first!! Cole and Havens bring us more of our favorite characters from Trident and Steel and the development of the training center and some of the practices there.

Well done again ladies!! I hope to see more collaborative efforts between you two in the future!!

Awesome

I absolutely loved this book. Great storyline, dramatic and full of alpha badasses. From start to finish I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between the characters were like they'd been from just one author not a collaboration. Mic and Carter were a great duo . Can't wait for the next books in both series. Great job definitely recommend these books

What a great conclusion to the story linking stories from two authors together. Mic and Carter go undercover in a dangerous mission to find the plot that is destined to hurt so many. Can they keep their identity hidden long enough to figure out the plan but also keep from getting killed? I enjoy both Carter and Mic. This story kept me needing to see what happens.

OMG this book

Carter and Mic, where to begin. First if you have not read the Trident series or Steel series, sorry. Carter is a Dom . Mic is helping out her friend Carter boy is she in for some fun when she learns of his lifestyle choice. Carter is trying to bring down a cult. This is a great story that combines two Great authors together.

What a great explanation of the connections between Carter, Mic and Trident Securities. The first mission working together could not have solidified the relationships any better than it did. Carter has your six at a moments notice. Friendship and terrorism never worked so well together.
