Hawk Elite Security #3
Strike Zone
Sharpshooter, Emily Rogers, was the best at what she did, until a job went tragically wrong resulting in the death of an innocent child. Haunted by guilt and harassed by the media, Emily turns her back on the only existence she’s known, hiding herself away and trying to build a new life.
When a job comes up requiring a sharpshooter, Hawk Elite medic, John Vega, has the perfect excuse to hunt down the woman he’s had a crush on for over two years. When he finally finds her living a quiet life in a small town on the coast, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse.
Aware she needs closure, Emily agrees to work with John, but soon it becomes obvious she has a target on her back. Can she trust John enough to stay and give in to the attraction growing between them? Or will life show her that she should have stayed hidden in her quiet coastal town?

Once again, Beth Rhodes and her Hawk Elite Security series had me reading well into the wee hours to finish her latest fast-paced romantic suspense addition! STRIKE ZONE (Hawk Elite Security #3) hit all the right buttons for me; a great hero and heroine, action, adventure, a plot with surprises and a romance that was intense with not one sex scene.
Emily Rogers is one of the best sharpshooters in the agency and is on an assignment in Brussels. Because she is so busy up until her best friend’s wedding, her best friend and fiancé come to Brussels to visit and finalize wedding plans. Tragedy strikes in the form of a terrorist bombing at their hotel and Emily vows revenge.
One year later, Emily is on the verge of getting her revenge. Ahmed Hassan is in Qatar and she has received the ‘kill order’. Just as Emily takes the shot, a child jumps into Hassan’s arms and is killed rather than her target. This emotionally destroys Emily and she walks away from her job and profession.
Two years pass and John Vega has been sent by Hawkins to find and recruit Emily as a sharpshooter for Hawk Security. John knows Emily’s history because he was there in Qatar after the failed mission and he saw her devastation in her eyes from across a room before she left to go back to the states. He has never forgotten her and he is determined to get her to join the Hawk Security family and get to know her and work with her personally.
The chemistry between these two is so hot! John comes from a large Catholic family and does not believe in sleeping with someone before a serious commitment. Emily respects his beliefs, but is not ready to let down her walls and allow someone in. The back and forth dance of emotions is realistic and intense. Real romance with no sex scenes as they work out their differences. The plot has everything. Fast-paced action from the beginning that never lets up. Adventures in the U.S. and Middle East. Traitors, revenge and a plot twist that makes this more than a formula revenge story.
This is a great addition to the series and I will be looking for many more to come!

Do you know that feeling of wanting more? That feeling that something was missing and you wanted to ease the pain and dig in? Well that was me all these months waiting for another book from this author. I know it can seems like I'm overreacting but I'm not. I love this author.
Beth Rhodes has an intense writing that can became complex due to the theme that she approaches but you will be hooked from the beginning.
One advise I need to give is that you have to read the first two books from this series, the Hawk Elite Security, because despite they are all standalones you need to know the characters and what better way to do so than to read all about them.
Strike Zone is her latest release and tells Emily and John's stories.
Emily is hunted till this day due to a job that went wrong and got a child killed. She needed to get away from everything, people, media and try to find some comfort zone. She had lost her best friend and that was the trigger that made her the way she is.
John is a security guy that work at Hawk Security and a very good one. He had a secret crush for an amazing girl and he need to pursuit it, but how? When he is given a job to do he needs the help from the sharpest shooter so he needs Emily.
What will happen? Can they complete their task? Can lust become something more? Can they overcome their obstacles? Can Emily heal and forget?
Like I thought this book is freaking amazing. I just love a good suspense story. The plot is amazing and the interaction between the characters is very good.
In this book you will find suspense, crime, punishment, madness as well as love, loyalty, desire and friendship.
I'm overwhelmed will all that happened. Damn there were parts of the story that I was petrified but there were others that I melted.
I can't wait for more books. I can't wait.
Please Beth tell me that you'll write Malcom and Marie's story. Please I want to know more about them.

I loved this story, it had great twists and turns and featured some characters I have come to love from other books. You do NOT need to have read the others though to enjoy this story, while those characters are present, this story is so intense with the main characters that there isn't room to delve back into the lives of the others. There was one story point that I am still a little confused about so I can't wait for some more to read so I can ask and see what I missed! Great read, lots of twists and turns, chemistry off the charts between Emily & John. I didn't want their story to end when it did, so hoping there will be more. We are also set up for more stories involving other members of Hawk Elite. Can't wait! I voluntarily read an arc and reviewed.

Strike Zone by Beth Rhodes is the third book in the Hawk Elite Security Series. Strike Zone can easily be read as a standalone, there are only a few cross-over.
Meet Emily Rogers, a sharp shooter with the agency. She´s on a international conference when terrorists attack. She made a terrible mistake and quits. But to find closure she agrees to work for Hawk Security.
John Vega is the employee who convinces her. Both have this crazy insta-chemistry.
This book has everything in it, from traitors to tragedy and drama.
This story is beautifully thought out, beautifully told and beautifully written. I like the characters and I love the writing. I give 5 Stars, thank you Beth Rhodes.

**4.5 Stars**
Emily, a sharpshooter, was attending a conference and as Emily's schedule is usually pretty tight, her best friend, Sandra, along with Sandra's fiance, Tim, decided to visit Emily while she was there, knowing that was their best chance to see each other before Tim and Sandra's wedding. Unfortunately, tragedy struck in the form of a bombing and both Tim and Sandra lost their lives. Emily vows revenge. A year later, she's on the verge of accomplishing that when the unimaginable happens...an innocent moves at the precise moment she pulled her trigger. The outcome not only finished destroyed Emily emotionally, but the press vilified and demoralized her, and eventually she walked away from her job.
Two years later, John, a former Army medic, now has a nursing degree and is current employee of Hawk Elite. He's also on a recruiting mission per his boss, Nathan, to convince Emily to join them. The company's usual sharpshooter is out indefinitely on family leave. There's also the fact that Emily intrigues him, and has since he first saw her a year after the shooting, but he was unable to meet her as the press bombarded her. He saw something in her eyes that day, despite the way she presented herself, and he can admit it impacted him.
Emily, now a coffee shop owner, has gotten used to the job offers, as well as turning them all down. There's something about this man though...she's attracted, yes, but it's more than that. When a friendly wager, one she was determined to win, results in John being the victor, Emily follows through with their agreement and accepts his dinner invitation to hear his offer. Even hoping the whole time he would be different and not ask for the one thing she didn't want to do, though he might be the person that could change her mind. John is offering something she's always wanted...to be part of a family, a dream that would come true by joining Hawk. And, after talking with a trusted friend, a father-like figure, Emily knows she needs to go back...she has unfinished business.
"Temptation had a name, and it was John." - Emily
As John and Emily begin working together, it doesn't take long before Emily feels at home. But the attraction between her and John isn't as comfortable. It's intense and growing stronger by the day. Unfortunately, Emily's involvement with the company is no longer a secret after completing her first assignment. That accidental exposure thrust her back exactly where she doesn't want to be...the spotlight.
While John and Emily continue their professional relationship, their personal one is just beginning as neither can resist the mutual connection. However, this isn't just a casual thing. Both know they've discovered something real and lasting. But will they get a chance to fully explore it? It seems as if something else is going on, something the Hawk Elite team isn't aware of. Someone has been watching them, watching Emily, and they have plans.
"And the woman who’d taken out more than ten people on the most-wanted lists within the agencies of the United States had to be worth something to somebody." - bad guy
Is Emily safe? Will she ever find peace with her past? If so, and she's able to move forward, what will that mean for her position at Hawk Elite? Will John and Emily take a chance on a future together? Will Emily, scared of loving and losing again, try to downplay all the signs pointing toward then being perfect for one another? Is there a HEA for them?
One-click now and follow along as two people, thrown together professionally, discover a connection even stronger, one that can overcome anything. I haven't read the previous books yet, but I never felt lost during this one. Also, for my fellow safety conscious readers, this book is safe. I will say though, that there appears to be some contradictions. One sentence, in a nutshell, has John wondering how to tell Emily he's been waiting for the right one, which would be her, but then later, as they're making out, a mental thought has him remembering how long it's been since he had a woman in his bed. You can't have it both ways. Either he's saved himself for marriage, or he used to date and have sex, then decided to be celibate until finding the one. Honestly, I'd prefer the former, making Emily his first and only.

Emily Rogers is a sharpshooter when a terrorist attack kills her best friend Sandra French and her fiance Tim Roche. Desperate for revenge she goes after the man responsible, Ahmed Hassan, but when she accidentally kills a child she leaves her job and opens a cafe in a quiet town.
John Vega is a former medic now with Hawk Elite and they are looking for a new sharpshooter. He first met Emily in Qatar and now wants to convince her to join Hawk Elite.
Yet soon they realize that someone else wants Emily too and that her life is in danger. Can John and the rest of Hawk Elite keep Emily safe or will they find one of their own has turned?
This is another good book in this series!
I really liked Emily and could totally understand how she could walk away from her job after what happened. My heart broke for her and the guilt that she had to live with. Yet she slowly rebuilt her life and stayed out of it until she was found again.
I really liked John and I thought his family was wonderful! He truly cared a lot about Emily and wanted her to be happy but he knew how much of a great addition she would be to Hawk Elite.
I thought some of the twists and turns were awesome and I definitely was not expecting a few of them! I was definitely curious to see who leaked the information and I loved that it wasn't who I thought it was!
The end was scary and I loved how it all turned out! Really looking forward to the next book!

3.5 Stars
Strike Zone, is the third title in the Haw Elite Security series. It's well written and can easily be read as a standalone. It's a well written story line, that is engaging and entertaining. With twists and turns aplenty, characters that are both complex and endearing and a great blend of action, intrigue, drama and suspense, I found this book hard to put down.
Although the chemistry between the hero and heroine is very intense, their story does lack some heat and their was a few pieces of information that were contradictory, hence my 3.5 star review.
I did enjoy this book, and will look forward to seeing who will be the next member of Hawk Security to find their happy ever after.

With twists and turns aplenty, characters that are both complex and endearing and a great blend of action, intrigue, drama and suspense, I found this book hard to put down.
Although the chemistry between the hero and heroine is very intense, their story does lack some heat and their was a few pieces of information that were contradictory, hence my 3.5 star review.

Sniper Emily is a target to join Hawk Elite. A terrible mistake whilst sent to take out a terrorist left her hiding from the press and the rest of the world. But Hawk Elite don't give up and John is sent to convince her to join. John has had his eye on Emily for a while to be part of his professional and personal life.
John's strength of belief in relationships and romance was refreshing in a world of jumping straight into bed with those you are attracted to.
This was certainly action packed as the stage move quickly and frequently, with the added mystery of a leak in the team. I will say I was unsatisfied with the person responsible's backstory but overall it kept me on my toes.

I just melt from these guys that are in Hawk Elite Security. First you zoom into what is going on with Emily and what happens as her life as a sharp shooter. Next thing is those trying to get her again when time has passed to go back to shooting. In walks John with that being all she wrote with the door he opens. That did it stuck like glue to see where this is going to go. After a event that exposes all involved the past comes a calling in a deadly way with the more you read the more you are on the edge. The sweet dance of romance is going on between them too with when the cresendo hits you are in heaven with them. The dead also rises in this but the wind down will also be oh so sweet.

Strike Zone was a great read, that kept me glued to my kindle app to the very end. Intrigue, action, deception, revenge, a hero who knows what he wants and won't back down until he gets it, a heroine whose past is traumatic and has a chance finally at getting all of her dreams, passion and a love that literally spans the globe. Beth has weaved a story that twists and turns with each page. This is the third in the series and I look forward to reading the next (hopefully it's who I think it's about).

John is all about family. Not just the one he was born to but also the one created by Hawk Elite Security. Emily is a loner. She was climbing the sharp shooter ladder. Disaster strikes and she goes silent. Only John has been trying to find her for 2 years. When he walks into the cafe, their fates are sealed. Emily just didn't know it. John was offering her everything she ever wanted but didn't know. Family, friends and love.

Emily made her career as a sharp shooter but one wrong shot and she knows she has to get away from it all. When John comes calling for her to work for Hawk Elite, she says yet but doesn’t really know what to do. Her past will always haunt her but it may just get her killed. John wants her on his team but his feelings may just get in the way. Exceeded book. I adore the huge trust factor is this book.
