Zack’s always been the funny guy, but with the deterioration of his sight and the loss of his father, the laughter has begun to dry up. Having recently discovered he has a brother due to his father’s infidelity, he’s questioning everything he thought he knew. To top it all off, the epic brush-off from Bonnie Pierce a few months back has Zack feeling less than a man. Bonnie thought she’d feel better about herself after giving Zack a taste of his own medicine, but all it did was stoke an old flame, bringing up feelings she probably shouldn’t explore. When she ends up embroiled in his current case, they both realize their pasts are about to set their worlds afire. The guest house behind Simon’s home has become her gilded cage, and Bonnie resents her brothers’ overprotectiveness even though they mean well. When Zack stumbles upon her horrific secret, she has no choice but to turn to the man she’s always loved. In the end, Zack struggles to be enough of a man to protect the woman he has finally gotten a second chance with, even though he can’t see her.
Anne has written her entire life and has the boxes of angst-filled journals and poetry to prove it. She’s been writing for public consumption for the past several years. She lives in rural East Texas with her husband and children in her own private oasis, where she prides herself in her complete lack of social skills, choosing instead to live with the people inside her head.
Currently, she has five romance series. Playing with Fire explores the trials and tribulations of a small team of fire fighters in the fictional mountain town of Pamona Gulch. In Pierce Securities, she gives us Ryan, Evan, Miriam, Zack, Quinten, Jordan, Hollerman, and Simon. Her favorite series, Book B!tches, is all about a group of women in Mystic, Texas who get into all sorts of shenanigans. In Stories of Serendipity, she explores real people living real lives in small town Texas in a contemporary romance setting. In The Four Winds, she chronicles God’s four closest archangels, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael, falling in love and becoming human.

But Zack feels them growing between them what can he do he had to break her heart as much as he wanted to keep her he felt he had to let her down. Bonnie back with a dark secret and he wants her this time and nothing is going to stand in his way not even her brother. But first they have their issues to deal with and her stalker to overcome. an awesome read that keeps you hooked.
Seek is another book in the Pierce Securities series that is full of action and romance. A well-written and intriguing story that includes several intriguing twists. There was just enough romance and action to keep my interest piqued. Anne Conley really knows how to build up the action and keep your attention to the very end. I liked how there was some back history explained to give the reader some insight into Bonnie and Zack in the past. The characters were well developed and engaging. You can’t help but to like Zack; even with his disabilities he still has his humor. Anne did a great job of intertwining the different characters of the series throughout the story.
Another good book by Anne Conley that does not disappoint. I recommend Seek to anyone that enjoys an action packed romance that will keep you entertained from the beginning to the end.
This book continues with the men of Pierce Securities series. This is Zach's story. I was a bit intrigued by Zach when he played a pivotal role in Deena Rae's story and wanted to learn more. We learn that Zach had a relationship with Simon & Quentin's younger sister, Bonnie, during their teens. When Bonnie was heading off to college, Zach purposely broke her heart...he didn't feel worthy of her, particularly since he knew that he was losing his sight. Fast fwd to present and Bonnie is back but avoiding Zach. Zach has never gotten over Bonnie and is trying to win her back...will he have time before a stalker takes her away? Will Bonnie & family forgive him for breaking her heart? This is a romantic suspense so of course there are bad guys, guns & romance. The end feels a bit abrupt,otherwise I would have given 5 stars. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
I fell in love with the Smarty Pants Zack along about book 1. As he has lost his sight we have watched him go through some other life changing events as well. We finally get the see his and Bonnie’s past and why her brothers don’t want him around even though they are friends.
Anne did a wonderful job with Zack even if he is a problem child. He is the resident PITA but is so good at it. Bonnie is definitely a Pierce sibling and she is equal to Zack smart aleck ways. I love seeing this stubborn hard head meet his match and be the one person who sees Bonnie for who she is. I recommend this book and series highly. The series is one of my favorites and one of my go to reads when I want something fun and hot.
This is one of the books I have been looking forward to reading. You hear about Zack and a little about him in the previous books however this book gives everything about him. This book I about Bonnie and Zack and it's beyond awesome. The story gives you a glimpse of their past relationship and where they are now. The most touching part was that Zack thought he was doing the right thing because he knew he was going blind and Bonnie wouldn't give up on him! Anne Conley doesn't disappoint with this book and I can't wait to read the other character's books.
This is one of the books I have been looking forward to reading since we first meet Zack . We hear about Zack a little bit in the previous books. He stole my heart from the first minute we meet him. Zack and Bonnie have quite the history together and there have been a lot mistakes made between them ,that drove and kept them apart for years. Anne really knows how to build up the action and suspense to keep you on your toes thru out the whole book. This is a MUST READ FOR SURE.
I like Zack, he has a flaw, he has gone blind, and tried to save Bonnie from having to deal with it by sending her away, instead of allowing herself to decide if she wanted to share his fate. After seeing him again she tries to get back at him, but finds that her feelings are just as strong as when they were younger. She knows why he destroyed her before, this time around she won't let him get away with it. He has a lot to make up for, and this time, he is ready to go all in.
Another awesome Pierce Securities tale that had me hooked from page one and pissed at the end ( That CAN'T be the end Anne Conley. I MUST KNOW MORE!!! Lol) What I love about this series is how it's got mystery, steamy scenes, humour and just enough of all of them to keep you completely enthralled with the characters. I've been wondering since the beginning the back story on both Zach and Bonnie and once again was not disappointed!
I have been in Love with Zach since the very 1st Pierce book. I think THIS is why I LOVE this series so much, you get to know each and every character throughout the series and when we get their individual story, you feel like you are A part of their world!!! LOVE IT!! Anne Conley tells Zach's story very tastefully even though it is quite a sensitive topic to those who suffer from it. Zach and Bonnie have quite the history and there have been a lot mistakes that drove and kept apart for years, but fate decides to step in and we are given a story full of suspense and angst!!
As usual the with Anne Conley the characters are very likeable and you are cheering for them for the whole book. What I especially liked about this book is that there is more of the characters from Pierce all working together.
Another great add to the series. We met Zach awhile back and I've been dying to see him center stage in his own book. Add in Bonnie and these two shine together. You see Zach struggle and adapt to his new way of life and it in no way takes away from his character. This was so much more then I was ready for, hot romance and a intriguing suspense story that you'll love. One of my favorite series Anne and I can't wait for the next. I voluntarily reviewed an 'Advance Author’s Copy' of this book.
**A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for at review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion** I’m a big fan of Anna Conley’s work and she just keeps getting better and better! Seek had me tied up in knots with anxiety with the storyline. There were times I laughed and cried. This book had it all! You can never go wrong reading the stories about The Pierce Securities
I read the blurb and teaser months ago and was really excited for this book. It mostly lived up to those expectations and I'm glad I signed up to read it. I also enjoyed that Ryan played a pretty significant role in this book because I liked him so much in Craze, the first book in the Pierce Security series. Each of the men in the security firm have their charm but I've only read Ryan's story and now Zack's, so while I'm interested in the others, I'm invested in the ones I've come to know.
So anyway, Zack is damaged, snarky, funny, blind, and completely in love with Bonnie. Bonnie is totally in love with Zack but was hurt by something he did when they were young and together so she's become a bit closed off, feisty, and independent. She's also become the target for a stalker and has come under the protection of her family and, by extension, the security firm which they own and run. She's scared and mad that she's scared. When all her drama seems to be in her rear-view she sets out to build a happy life but constantly runs into the walls her brothers have erected around her. One of those walls is the one between her and Zack. She thinks she's grateful for it because of how much she's been hurt by him, but by putting a wall there it has become a constant reminder of the one man who knew her better than anyone else. Bonnie thought she knew him that well too.
Zack's blindness is a constant stumbling block, both literally and figuratively. I liked that he was frustrated but learning to cope. His frustration was real, believable, and drew me in because he was so determined to be useful despite his disability. He's got a great support team. What he doesn't have is the one person he always wanted and has been going about all the wrong ways of getting another view of her before it's too late and he's completely blind. The exclamation near the end outside the hospital was absolutely gut-wrenching and made me so mad at Quinn. Honestly, until I read his story I don't think I'm a huge fan of him at all. It's one thing to be protective of a little sister, it's another thing to take the hurt from the past and to let it fester and ruin what was once a friendship so close it was like they were siblings. To constantly hurl it in the other guy's face is overboard for me.
The drama is intense, nothing unexpected with the author, and was well-written. Bonnie is kick ass and thinks more than acts. I absolutely admire that about her. Her immaturity when it comes to Zack isn't so nice, but when she allows herself to think about what happened instead of reacting to it she can see the events for what they were. Seeing the truth behind the action brought her a new perspective that ultimately led to healing and forgiveness. It didn't hurt at all that she and Zack were just as hot for one another as they've always been.
Overall, this was a really great book. I liked how real and how strong these characters were. The drama was big, crazy, interconnected with other plots, and still focused and clear. Definitely worth reading! Read and willingly reviewed the ARC for the author.
As a child, Zack knew early on that Bonnie was the one for him. When he found out he would eventually lose his sight, he believed he couldn't be the man Bonnie needed him to be. So he took the choice away from her and placed himself in a situation where she would catch him kissing her best friend. Broken hearted, Bonnie left town to attend Baylor. Zack loved her so much, he caved under the infamous Pierce family and pushed her away.
Trying to fill the void left by Bonnie, he excels in one night stands and work. Zack works for Pierce Securities. Quentin Pierce, a person Zack once considered his brother, is unrelenting in his mistreatment of Zack. Quentin can't seem to forgive Zack for breaking his sister's heart. When Zack learns of Bonnie's stalker, he's livid. He feels somewhat responsible since his actions sent her to Baylor, where she was stalked. When Zack's current case brings Bonnie face to face with her stalker, he decides to keep her close.
For an exciting short read, this is the book for you. If you don't like cliffhangers, this may not be your cup of tea. I felt as though I was left hanging as there were several "loose ends" left unanswered. That being said, I loved Zack as the hero. His feelings of inadequacy were spot on. I received a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
Zach is such an impressive, provocative hero. His disability did NOT in any way shape or form take away how AMAZING or SEDUCTIVE he was. He was funny, charming, sexy, and damn, he threw all sorts of heat off. And Bonnie..I LOVED her! She was a fabulous heroine and I enjoyed watching these two together. Their love bloomed beautifully. And the suspense...OMG it was AWESOME!
The mix of romance and suspense was downright superb. Anne Conley mixes hot romance, heart-thumping action and danger perfectly every time! And Seek...Eeeeep! I found it to be even BETTER! I knew...just KNEW that I would LOOOOVE Seek because Zach has intrigued me and had me liking him for a while. And oh boy, he did NOT disappoint.
Seek gets a IMPECCABLE FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Sexy, fun, and and heart-thumping good, this book won me over right from the start to the very end.
In this Pierce Security book, we have the story of Zach. We got to know him little by little throughout the series, and now we have his story. Zach has been in love with Bonnie since they were children, but as he got older and found out he would be going blind he pushed her away. Years later they see each other again and realize there is still a spark between them, but her brothers will not let Zach near her. Bonnie has been hiding from a stalker for a couple of years, and just when she thought it was safe to be out and about again, she runs into him. Even with his disability , Zach has charisma , charm, a sexy attitude that just wont quit, all the while becoming an unlikely hero. A must read for the fans of Pierce Securities!

It was clear from the start in other books there was love between these two,something happened (Zack messed up listing to others and coping with his fear of blindness) in there last breaking her heart.I get all that but Zack didn't need to chase tail everywhere, in my mind if his heart loved her enough to set her free he would have one night stands he is not a monk but to be sleeping around so much just felt wrong.I get what Simon said to him He was being a player so of course it did not look like he really cared.I did feel sorry for him not being able to see her, must be worst when you could see her once.That part was well written,felt cheated that we did not get Bonnie telling her story to them in the hospital?
Zach has had a string of bad luck. He lost his sight which caused him to leave the police force, his dad passed away, he found out he had a half brother and now Bonnie is back in his life. He broke her heart many years ago and her brothers Quinten and Simon have kept him away from her. Now they have been close enough to talk and the feelings come rushing back.
When Bon-Bon goes missing, they know who took her and just what he is capable of. Will the Pierce Team be able to rescue the little sister to 2 and the lover to another before it's to late.
I knew when we first met Zak that his book was going to be amazing. They say when you loose one of your senses your others are heightened. That is proven in Zak and Bonnie's story. Zak pushes Bonnie away b/c he doesn't want her to have to deal with his handicap. Bonnie seems to push right back into his life whether he wants her to or not. This story is fast-paced. Zak and Bonnie work together to bring a young girl back to her family. They also help solve a bigger crime and Bonnie comes face to face with someone from her past. This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy.

This is Zak and Bonnies book. In this book, we see Zak and Bonnies relationship evolve from kids to adults, and everything in between. It was really interesting to read from Zak's POV about tethering Bonnie to someone who was less of a man. It was also interesting to read how he was able to do things through advancing his other senses.
I REALLY enjoyed this book!! The entire book had me gripped from the first word until the last word!!
Book 7 of the fantastic pierce security series by Anne Conley. A fantastic book and so well written in the aspects of Zack's disability. Zack is not only dealing with his father's affairs but also the fact he has a brother and his eyesight is failing. Bonnie pierce has a secret and feels like her brothers are keeping her in a chair can Zack and bonnie find their second chance in an explosive storyline.
Anne did a fantastic job with Zack's disability and all his emotions with the different parts he has to deal with. Zack and bonnie seemed destined for each other since their friendship since childhood. I can't wait for whatever Anne has instal for the next book. I voluntarily reviewed this book as an advanced reader copy
I havent read all of the books in order but I have enjoyed this series so far. I plan on reading all of the books in this series and even though I'm gonna be heart broken when it's done, it will be worth it. The action was amazing in this book and I was on edge. I loved the intimate scenes and i feel that Anne does a great job of doing that without going overboard. She really puts in detail the intimate side of it and not just the dirty scenes that they are.
Loved it! Can't even pick what I loved the most. Lots of action, mystery, romance, steamy yoga swing sex scenes! Liked that there was a back story told between Zack and Bonnie. They had amazing chemistry. I feel like this could be a part one and I'm waiting (not very patiently) for part two to see what happens next! I need to know!
I loved reading about Zack and Bonnie. They have a history all the way back to childhood. It seems they are destined no matter higher much her brothers and other twists of fate intend to keep them apart. The fact Zack is legally blind doesn't matter one lick to Bonnie. This was a fantastic read. I can't wait to see what Anne Conley writes for us next!!
Holy hot Tomale, I am in love with this book. I have been waiting for Zach and Bonnie's story and I have got to say this was so worth the wait. These characters have some much history together and the chemistry was off the charts! My favorite line was when Bonnie asked Zach what he saw and he says "I see shadows and colors... and you Bonnie. I see the colors of you
I have waited a long time for Zach's story, and it's finally here! I absolutely love this series. It makes me feel like part of a big, happy, slightly dysfunctional family. Zach is losing his sight, and he feels like he isn't enough of a man for Bonnie if he can't see. Fate throws them back together and some bad stuff happens (no spoilers), but can they get over their problems and find their HEA?
He is such an amazing character! He's been a total dog but I wondered if he had alternative reasons and turns out he did. Great series and its fab to see all the other characters popping in their tuppences worth!! Heaven forbid they not get involved! Good read. More please!
