Love strikes when you least expect it…whether you’re ready or not...
Part One When chaos strikes Kim Sander’s life and draws inBeau Halsey and the rest of the North Security and Investigations (NSI) security team, Beau is suddenly up against a faceless assailant intent on tormenting his new client, a belligerent sibling insisting he is better capable of protecting his sister, and a raging storm of emotions and passions he isn’t at all ready to weather.
Part Two Four days before Tina Wellington’s death, Ethan Parker—member of the NSI—is unexpectedly caught in a storm of passion with the young woman, neither of them aware of the deadly threat to Tina that lurks much closer than she would have ever expected.
Part Three What begins as a perfect romantic evening – one in which Paige Dawson hopes is the start of the healing process of her marriage – turns into a terrifying nightmare that spins Paige’s life into chaos as she is suddenly the prime suspect in her husband’s brutal murder. Liam Salinger is startled to find himself drawn to Paige—alleged murderer—and quickly becomes convinced of her innocence when a freak accident throws them together and he must decide if he will turn her over to the authorities—or help prove her innocence.
Part Four Jessica Palmero’s ex-mafia father turns states evidence and Jessica suddenly becomes the target of a Cuban mobster. When the NSI team is hired to escort her across country to a safe location, Jessica comes face to face with her past in Newt Dancer—NSI member—whom she had believed to be dead. Faced with multiple threats as they head out across country, both Newt and Jessica must confront fears and secrets from their troubled past and learn to trust each other if they hope to come out alive and nurture the long dormant love deep within their hearts.
Part Five With the receipt of four morbid Valentine’s Day cards, the NSI team and the women in their lives are pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse, orchestrated by a disturbed individual from Hannibal North’s distant past bent on brutal revenge.
This series is darker and sexier than most of my books to date. Adult readers only. Touches on sensitive subjects. Read with caution.
For mature adults- Thriller + romance, rape, homosexuals, lots of liberal social commentary
This series shows great improvement in the author's writing: complicated plots that keep you turning the pages, characters well defined and showing growth through the stories, way fewer editing/ proofing errors. It should be noted that this series also exposes readers to graphic rape scenes, more intense violence than previous bundles I've read from her, homosexual relationships (not graphic), and political rants with a definite leftward slant- all of which added to the plots, but are not typically found in your average romance. So it's a good read, but should carry some warnings about possible triggers.
These books were so freaking good and intense and heartbreaking! I thought it was a shifter book about security guys and their stories, after awhile of reading I noticed it was a shifter one at all but couldn't put it down and so glad I didn't! The third story with Liam and the woman who went to prison for her husband's murder got me so bad omg I was terrified for her and what they did to her in prison and what her husband did to her omg broke my heart. I tell you I love all these characters so much and will re-read this story again. Kudos to you Ms Author amazing writting
As identified, this is a 5 book series of a securities and investigations team. Each team member has their own book while all of the others are threaded through the complete series. This was a good read with compelling storylines. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4 stars is because starting in book 2, the books started to become less story and more lesson. The second book seemed to get into the political stance of gun safety. It came across preachy on the topic. I don't read fiction to be preached to about the author's personal stance on political topics.
The next 2 books dealt with the very harrowing topics of rape and gang rape. The reader is not prepared for such harshness from the book's synopsis. I will give the author props for the thorough descriptions of the character's plights and bringing the terror to the reader, I just wish I was adequately prepared.
The characters are well developed, the storylines engaging, the writing executed thoughtfully. These are great stories if you are prepared properly for the violence perpetrated on the characters and can overlook the political stance.
This is a brilliant read. This boxset features a great group of guys who work for a security team. They are like brothers and when a threat happens they pull together. The women have all suffered traumas but these guys are just what they need in security and love.
This is a five books series about an investigative group call North investigation. These men with their skills have joined together as Brothers. As each characters are has individual as their stories and romances with their women.
It is fascinating to read each amazing story and the drama.
This is probably the best series I have read. Read this author's book previously and enjoyed them, but I think this set is by far the best I've read. Action, adventure, mystery, love. What's more to ask for.. Loved every page. Would give more than 5 stars if possible.
Deep, involved, twisting story line. I enjoyed each book..loved the well developed characters, and their variety. Ms. Kendrick is a well rounded writer, and I enjoy her novels.
Book one was pretty good. Book two pretty lacking, it felt like words were being vomited all over the page. Book three was okay but not a favorite. Book four I haven’t quite made up my mind, ranking close to book two. Book five was a quick ending and predictable.
Rather contrived story lines, stereotypical characters, and a lot of editing errors. Still, the author clearly loved some of these characters and wrote with heart. Worst book I couldn't put down to the end.
This was a very action filled book that kept you ready until the end, I like having all the books together so you don't have to wait for the next one to come out here 5 thumbs up
Fast-paced, exciting, suspenseful and intriguing (sexy ) too!
Well developed characters, misdirection, loving relationships and never a dull moment. I enjoyed reading this whole series. The conclusion was worthy and satisfying.
Absolutely loved it!! It had me from the first page of each book. Romance, action, suspense, it had everything I look for in a book. I definitely recommend it.
These stories were an failure wonderful. I love the characters the different love stories and how it flowed from story to story from section to action great job.
I truly enjoyed reading this series of books! It was full of love, romance, intrigue, and mystery! I would definitely recommend this series of books to read!🙌🙌🙌😊😊
Loved this set of books. Each book an individual brilliant read but knitted together perfectly with a fabulous ending .Felt like a great journey with great characters
This is a 5 book box series. It had great characters and even though each book was a different love story the characters interacted through out the series. It worth the read.
