Absolutely melt your panties awesome and did I mention HOT! Ms Cole hits it yet again.
Arc received in exchange for an honest review.
After having the fantastic opportunity to read book 1 in the Trident Security series, I've jumped at and loved the following 2. Each book is a stand alone and introduces us to a different member or this extremely hot group of men, affectionately known as the sexy six pack. So this time it is Benjamin, Ben, Boomer, Benny Michaelson story. I have to admit after following Devon and Ian, Ben had some serious shoes to fill and I have to say, he exceeded my expectations gaining him and Waiting for Him a very well deserved 5 stars.
Ben had his world shattered 12 years ago, when his best friend Alex, and his family were all killed in a horrible car accident. Not only did he lise hus best friend but Alex's little sister, whom had stolen Ben's heart only hours earlier. Katerina Maier had all but given herself to Ben, but with his impending Armed forces training, he asks her to wait for him. 32 hours later everything changed.
Now Ben is a team member of Trident Security, and former Navy Seal he uses his skills for all sorts of security jobs. Along with Trident, he is a Dom at "The Covenant" a very private club in the confines of the compound. While on the job he is set up for a meeting with a Kate Zimmerman, thinking she is a past sexual conquest, Ian sits in on his meeting with the strange woman to find out what she really wants from Ben. Ben never imagined walking into the room and seeing a ghost.... It litterally knocks him out.
Katerina (Kat) Maier, was removed from civilization when her mother and brother were killed in a car accident. Her father and herself were saved and placed into witness protection. She lost her real love that day, but she had never forgotten Benny, her Benny. Now 12 yrs on, her father has passed away for real this time, and she is in danger once again. Not knowing who to turn to, she goes to the one man she can trust, Benjamin Michaelson. Never expecting Ben's response to her returning from the dead, she certainly didn't expect his anger towards her. It is only a matter of time before their old feelings return, but Ben has changed so much in 12 years, and not into the man that Kat is expecting.
Knowing Ben will have to let Kat go again after her life is no longer in danger, he uses all of his power to stay away from het, but she is so sexy now, and it is only a matter of time before they give into their attraction, but not before Ben explains who he really is now. Very quickly a quick fuck is not going to cut it, real feelings return for both Ben and Kat and they declare their love for each other.
But this will only work if Ben and his Trident team along with "holy crap hotness" Carter & any hi flying FBI team members they must find who wants Kat dead and why. This begins the start of a jigsaw puzzle of Kat's 2 lives, and her father's greed or stupidity, jury is still out on that one. Discovering it is a drug cartel tracking her down to get what her father stole from them, when it is clear, they will stop at nothing to get what they want and removing Kat permanently is not a problem either. Ben and his team must take everything on to save this woman, Ben's woman.
This is where I really enjoy Samantha Cole's writing, she has the power of extremely hot male leads, headstrong female's and some hot damn melt your panties sex.. but she has the talent of creating a who dunnit with just enough mystery to keep you page turning.
While contending with returning to her former life and showing up at family's homes as the ghost they never expected, can Ben and the Trident team, save her and remove the threat permanently and can Ben and Kat return to lovers and get that happy ever after that was taken away so abruptly years before?
This was beyond all my expectations, I'm now a huge Samantha Cole and Trident Security fan... I'm excited to see Devon and Kristen and Ian and Angie come back into the story along with the other Trident boys, and one that only deserves his own introduction - Master Carter, this man is hot as hell... he'll set you on fire, his presence during the story is so extremely sizzling. But not out doing Ben, and his dominant nature the whole team and setup is awesome. Loved it!
