Away From Keyboard #3
On His Six
Can broken be beautiful?
Ryker McCabe. Former Special Forces. Survived fifteen months in an Afghan prison, tortured within an inch of his life. His scars—and his fears—keep him alone. Disconnected from the world. From his team. From any hope of redemption.
Until he meets her.
Wren Kane. Hacker extraordinaire. Desperately searching for her brother. When police find his body in a drug den, she knows there's more to his death than an overdose. He'd promised he was clean. And then, she finds the message he left her.
Wren's prepared to go it alone. Until she runs right into Ryker. He's the biggest, baddest man she's ever seen. And he's willing to risk his life to fulfill her brother's dying wish. But how can she trust him when he won't let her in?
When danger comes for Wren, Ryker jumps into action. No one hurts his little bird. Except maybe him. Because if he can't share his heart, he could lose her forever.

On His Six is book three in the Away From Keyboard series by Patricia D. Eddy. You can definitely read this as a stand alone. I have not read any of the previous books in this series. There are characters from the previous books that are recurring and it is obvious that they have a history with the Hero but it does not detract at all from this story.
I have to admit I wasn’t prepared for my reaction to this book. I was amazed by it! This is a romantic suspense and let me assure you, suspenseful it is. But there is also a love story here that melted my heart. These are two damaged people that never expected to find love. You can safely say it was the furthest thing from their minds. But you know what happens when you are least expecting it!
Ryker McCabe is ex-special forces. He now lives in Boston and runs his own agency. Six years ago, Ryker and his unit were captured. He spent fifteen months in a prison deep in the mountains. Fifteen months being tortured, beaten and starved. But he never gave them what they wanted. He never broke. After his escape, he has spent the last six years isolating himself except for when they are working. He believes himself to be a monster with all of his scars. He has walls upon walls built up. After an operation gone wrong, Ry needs to get away. Maybe it’s time to finally face his past. To visit the only other survivor from six years ago. The man he has shut out of his life because he couldn’t face him.
Wren Kane lives in Seattle. She works for the man that Ryker is on his way to see as a computer hacker. Wren’s brother is missing. When his body is found pumped full of drugs, Wren knows that he didn’t do it himself. Her brother promised her that he was clean now and he never would break a promise. Her boss refuses to help her look into it.
Wren and Ryker literally crash into each other’s worlds. Wren needs help and for some reason, Ryker feels compelled to help her. He certainly didn’t realize what he was getting himself into. Wren’s brother was involved with one of the most dangerous Russian drug lords known, Kolya Yegorovich.
“Something about this woman calls to me. Begs me to be…better."
Wren’s brother left her a message that led to an unfulfilled promise he made to someone being held by the Russian, Kolya. Wren needs to fulfill her brother’s wishes and avenge his death. Hidden in a safe house in the most dangerous of situations, though, both Ryker and Wren find something beautiful, they find each other. When Wren looks at Ry, she doesn’t see a scarred monster, she sees a man with a heart and a soul that she has somehow taken possession of. For the first time in six years, Ry doesn’t have nightmares, he feels peace. Now all they have to do is get out of this alive.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know how to do this.”
“Do what?”
“Care.”
“You’ll learn.”
This book was amazing. I was afraid it was going to be too dark for me. But it wasn’t at all. It was definitely suspenseful. My heart was beating out of my chest so many times. But it was also full of hope. These two finally had hope that they had found love. That they could share their life with the only person they had ever wanted to let in. But there is a lot that they have to get through first. Just a warning. Once you start this book, be prepared to keep reading. Because you aren’t going to be able to put it down. I’m so glad I read this and I can’t wait to see what this author is doing next!
“My little bird. My angel. My everything. She saved me from my own demons, and now, I’ll do whatever I can to banish hers.”

I read an ARC of this book, but would have gladly paid for the privilege. I cannot wait until I can post this same review on every site imaginable. And I'm about to tell you why.
I made no secret that Ryker captivated my imagination in the first two books that he appeared in - Breaking His Code and In Her Sights. He was that guy who was wounded enough that talking to strangers was nearly impossible but talking to people he knew was almost as bad. He would reveal himself to no one, because he thought he wasn't someone that anyone would want to know. I knew this from reading those first two books. So I waited....and waited...somewhat patiently, while Patricia Eddy got around to writing his story. And she did NOT in any way, shape, or form disappoint me.
This story is about Ryker becoming human again and much much more. Being one of two men who ever survived Hell (a maze of caves and cells deep underneath the mountains of Afghanistan), to say that Ryker was wounded is like saying a raw lemon isn't sweet. An understatement if there ever was one. Ryker had had to rely on everything inside him to get out of Hell and get back to rescue his fellow soldier, Dax. Unfortunately, for all those around him, thanks to the months he spent in Hell, Ryker doesn't know how to care or love his friends. In fact, he doesn't think he has any friends. He's plagued with nightmares of the torture he endured and believes that he's hurt everything and everyone he's ever cared about. This is the story of how Ryker was proven wrong.
The story is also about a red-headed girl named Wren. She's a hacker extraordinaire. And she's employed by Dax (remember him, the other guy to survive Hell). They meet by accident, she and Ryker, and neither are the same after that. I can't tell you too much about Wren except to say I identified with her panic and anxiety attacks and was taken by the blunt honesty the author used in describing her. But since I have a rule about spoilers, that's as far into the story as I will go. The rest of this review will be about Patricia D. Eddy and why I think she's worth a read, no matter what genre she's writing in.
This book is a masterpiece of pacing. If I were teaching a class on how to build the arc of a story correctly, pace it appropriately, balance the narrative with the dialogue, and create an almost-bottomless depth in characters, this would be the only textbook I would need. Because both Ryker and Wren hold so much in their head, their actions and thoughts are slower in most of the book. And Ms. Eddy matched their thought process with the pace she set for the narrative. It was slow, it built as the characters were built and as the action spun up. It built as the characters adapted themselves to the situations they found themselves in. And at no time reading this book did I feel the need to read ahead in boredom or stop reading because the pacing was too fast, or slow. Believe me, in most books I read, the pace doesn't match the characters or the plot line. This book read perfectly. Just the kind of book you hope to pick up every single time you buy a book.
The characters in action - that's where she grabbed me and held on. I didn't expect the action/adventure that was in this book, but I should have remembered the background of the characters of the other Eddy books in this series. And when they showed up in this book, I shouldn't have had a doubt that this "shit's gonna get interesting". And no that isn't a quote from this book, that's a quote from a man who is currently serving in the Middle East, and it SO fits this book.
And now to the author's talent, because this review would not be complete unless I told you what I thought of her craft. There are a handful of authors in this world that I would like to meet - and they aren't the ones you would think. I'm not really interested in meeting the Patterson's or King's of this world. I'm interested in meeting the indie authors who put everything they are into each book. They become best friends with their characters, and if they are really good at their craft, so do I. Ms. Eddy is one of those authors. They aren't just characters in her books. When I read what she's written, I know they are her creations. In the case of this book, I caught myself tearing up twice while reading about Ryker and it was in places where I would have least suspected. I cried when he didn't have a clue why his friend Dax was angry at him. And I cried when he finally realized that he could learn how to care and how to love. That kind of emotion, endearing, deep, heartfelt, and true, is hard to acheive. Ms. Eddy aced it. It is NOT difficult to write a book that is full of melancholy and is sweet enough to make you cry. This book isn't sweet. In fact, if someone calls this book sweet, I'll call a shrink, cause they need their head examined. This book is raw emotions and it painted pictures in my mind as I read, pictures that are still with me, even though I finished the book hours ago. Note to the author: Your characters are so very rich, but most importantly, they complement their friends and family, just like in real life. Kudos to you. Looking forward to your next book. You and your books are keepers.

Overview:
Ryker & Wren. Book 3. Standalone, but part of a series with some recurring characters. It’s not mandatory to read the prior books to understand this one. It might help you understand the secondary characters a little, but you will do just fine if you skip Books 1 & 2. Dual POV. Most of the book takes place in Russia.
The Story:
Ryker is the ultimate tortured hero. Literally. Going through Hell with his Green Beret team didn’t destroy him, but he is definitely suffering from some heavy guilt due to the outcome of the team’s captivity. My heart has had a little pitter patter for Ryker since Book 1 and I certainly fell in love with him when I read his story in this book.
Wren is a hacker and is very headstrong and loyal. She suffers from panic attacks and anxiety. Even though all signs point to her brother OD’ing on heroin, she is convinced he was clean and becomes his biggest advocate and does whatever it takes to uncover the truth about his death.
I really loved both these characters. The story is action packed from the very beginning and not only do the H/h take on the evil dregs of society, they also face the demons within and learn to trust one another. These two are definitely damaged and unfortunately Wren gets even more damaged in this book and it was heartbreaking to see her struggle with something that was not her own doing. However, Ryker stands by her side and uses his own experiences to guide Wren through the new demons she has to face.
Overall:
Overall this was a great series, but Book 3 was definitely my favorite. The build up in Books 1 & 2 to Ryker’s story did not disappoint. His heart and beautiful soul are definitely swoon worthy and he ended up with the perfect person for him. It’s ends with a HEA and an epilogue.
My takeaway from this series....there is beauty in the flaws and the scars. You just have to be willing to really listen to the story of their existence and accept and love the person behind those scars unconditionally.
Below is from the author’s notes at the end of the book and it really captures the heart of this series.
”I write characters I call “beautifully broken.” Why? Because I think in some ways, every one of us is a little bit broken. But broken isn’t always a bad thing. We all go through dark times in our lives. Times that threaten to break us. Times that do break us. But that doesn’t mean we’re anything less than beautiful. Or capable. Or perfect. Just the way we are.”

Tthe first chapter of this Patricia D. Eddy book is heart stopping, brutal and intense but it sets up the rest of the book perfectly. Ryker McCabe's hell is gut wrenching but it gives us insight into his torment, feelings and behavior. The action in this book is fast paced and explosive and so finely detailed that the reader feels part of the scene. There is beautiful poignancy in the love between Ryker and Wren.
Ryker McCabe is damaged physically, mentally and to the bottom depths of his soul. But his little bird, Wren Kane sees him, scars and all and sees the goodness in his soul. Ryker grounds Wren in a way she's never had before. When they find their "hope" the rest falls into place. They are a love story for the ages.

I struggle with romantic suspense. There’s so much I don’t like about the category, and yet...that’s where so many of the awesome, tortured, scarred alpha heroes live. And sometimes they’re GRUMPY, tortured, scarred alpha heroes...and those are my kryptonite. It’s the eternal struggle. Sigh. What’s a girl to do?
Well, in this case, just like in so many other romantic suspense novels I’ve read, I loved the grumpy, tortured, scarred alpha hero, and hated the heroine he’d been paired with. If I could fix Ryker up with a heroine from a different book, this would’ve been a 5-star read. But since I’m stuck with Wren, this one’s only getting 3.5 stars.
Here’s what worked and earned the book it’s stars:
1. Ryker is sexy and tortured and kind of broken, but he still functions in a high-stakes, high-stress job, and he still cares about his team of former military badasses. And while he’s alpha, he’s never a bossy, jerkish alphahole. He’s just an all around good guy.
2. Dax, a secondary character in this book is SUPER interesting and I’d most likely read a story about him. Inara was a pretty cool badass, as well. I’ll probably take a look at her story, too.
3. The pacing was good, and the action scenes were sufficiently...action-y.
4. The story was gritty without being so graphic that I was scarred for life. I appreciated the balance that was required to accomplish that.
5. The writing itself is strong, I think. It’s compelling and engaging and held my interest to the end.
Now for what didn’t work:
1. Wren is supposedly some kind of hacker genius, but I didn’t get to see a lot of what she could do. She mostly spent her time a) needing to be rescued, and b) popping Xanax like they were Tic Tacs.
2. For the sake of argument, let’s say that the Russian mob is after me and wants me dead. If the big scary former military badass who is protecting me tells me it’d be safer if I stayed in the house, I’d stay in the house. No questions asked. No WAY would I argue with him, insist I can take of myself, and go out on the town. I think you can probably guess which option Wren, our intrepid heroine, chose. Yep. She went out and got herself kidnapped, beaten, and drugged.
3. And as if the FIRST time she didn’t listen to Ryker wasn’t lesson enough, Wren throws herself into danger A SECOND TIME towards the end of the book and requires rescuing yet again. At that point, I was kind of hoping Ryker and his team would just declare her a lost cause and let the bad guys have her.
4. Ryker is almost 7 feet tall. Really? How in the hell is a guy that huge supposed to function in clandestine military ops? I’m thinking his size would be a HUGE impediment.
5. Ryker has been through horrific torture and is understandably a little reluctant to chat about his past. (Or anything else, for that matter. He’s a quiet dude, OK?) Wren is constantly harping on him to “let her in.” Every time she pushed him to spill his guts to her, I wanted to reach through my Kindle and smack the crap out of her. He just met you 2 days ago and you expect him to completely open his heart to you? Really? Ease up there, stalker chick. Give the dude some space.
6. There’s no way around it: this is a case of instalove. (Completely inexplicable instalove, in my opinion. Ryker can do better.)
So, long-story-short, with a different heroine, this could’ve been a 5-star read. But Wren’s an anchor around the book’s neck. It’s a shame, really. Ryker had such potential...

4. The story was gritty without being so graphic that I was scarred for life. I appreciated the balance that was required to accomplish that.
5. The writing itself is strong, I think. It’s compelling and engaging and held my interest to the end.
Now for what didn’t work:
1. Wren is supposedly some kind of hacker genius, but I didn’t get to see a lot of what she could do. She mostly spent her time a) needing to be rescued, and b) popping Xanax like they were Tic Tacs.
2. For the sake of argument, let’s say that the Russian mob is after me and wants me dead. If the big scary former military badass who is protecting me tells me it’d be safer if I stayed in the house, I’d stay in the house. No questions asked. No WAY would I argue with him, insist I can take of myself, and go out on the town. I think you can probably guess which option Wren, our intrepid heroine, chose. Yep. She went out and got herself kidnapped, beaten, and drugged.
3. And as if the FIRST time she didn’t listen to Ryker wasn’t lesson enough, Wren throws herself into danger A SECOND TIME towards the end of the book and requires rescuing yet again. At that point, I was kind of hoping Ryker and his team would just declare her a lost cause and let the bad guys have her.
4. Ryker is almost 7 feet tall. Really? How in the hell is a guy that huge supposed to function in clandestine military ops? I’m thinking his size would be a HUGE impediment.
5. Ryker has been through horrific torture and is understandably a little reluctant to chat about his past. (Or anything else, for that matter. He’s a quiet dude, OK?) Wren is constantly harping on him to “let her in.” Every time she pushed him to spill his guts to her, I wanted to reach through my Kindle and smack the crap out of her. He just met you 2 days ago and you expect him to completely open his heart to you? Really? Ease up there, stalker chick. Give the dude some space.
6. There’s no way around it: this is a case of instalove. (Completely inexplicable instalove, in my opinion. Ryker can do better.)
So, long-story-short, with a different heroine, this could’ve been a 5-star read. But Wren’s an anchor around the book’s neck. It’s a shame, really. Ryker had such potential...

Ryker McCabe is a damaged soul after spending 15 months as a prisoner being abused, tortured and mutilated. Since that time he does not let anyone ever get close to him. Ryker is still broken up about what happened when he was held prisoner and has a hard time letting people even including his friends. When he literally bumps into Wren Kane, Ryker can’t stop thinking about her. Wren is facing her own demons. The body of her brother was just recovered from an abandoned building. His death looks like an overdose, but Wren knows better. Something is not right with his death and when Ryker vows to help her put the pieces together, a bond slowly starts to form between the two of them. Can two damaged souls find their way to each other and find a happily ever after in the process?
I fell in love with Ryker. He is so damaged and so lost and he can’t seem to forgive himself for the time he spent as a prisoner, nor the things he had to do after he escaped. Ryker does not feel as if he deserves any happiness. Wren has severe anxiety disorder and has panic attacks. Despite this, she is a fantastic hacker and with her skills she goes up against the Russian mob along with Ryker.
The story is action packed almost right from the beginning and there were a lot of tense scenes as I raced through the storyline needing to know what happens next. I love how Ryker gets to know Wren along the way and slowly begins to trust her and tell her more about himself. They are both damaged and both come with issues, but Ryker and Wren compliment each other in so many ways and slowly trust each other enough to depend on each other for support. There love story is beautifully written and you can see that they are both perfect for each other.
On His Six is an action packed suspenseful romance that gripped me from the first page. I found myself not being able to put down this book at all. I do wish though that I would have started this series from the beginning as there are characters with backstories that I missed, but this story can definitely be read as a standalone. If you love action and a to die for romance then you will definitely love Ryker and Wren’s story.

I loved this book! It was gut-wrenching and emotional! I fell in love with both Wren and especially Ryker! Highly recommend this!

I have been waiting with baited breath for this book and boy was it worth it!! Patricia Eddy has an amazing ability to weave a story like no one else! She draws you in and wraps you up in the story so tight that you can't stop reading till the end!! Rkyer and Wren's story is beautiful and gut wrenching at the same time. Both of these people are so broken yet so strong it makes one believe that anything is possible. I highly recommend this book!! You won't be disappointed!:

Own His Six. By Patricia Eddy
Oh yes, I've been waiting on this one ! Poor Ryker, the damaged hero finally faces his demons and meets the love of his life. Wren is a poor little damaged soul too with problems of her own. Together they can save each other !
Love the angst and thrill that Patricia Eddy puts into her books, she takes you on another ride in this one. Characters from the first two books join Ry and Wren on a job in Russia to rescue Wrens brothers friends. This is Russian Bratva they are fighting so the going gets rough, nasty and dangerous.
Wren brings out the goodness in Ryker and starts that hard shell breaking down. His stint in POW hell did a real number on him. Ryker has a calming effect on Wren who has her own problems but is one smart, strong young woman
I highly recommend you read the first two books, Breaking His Code and In Her Sights, before this one. On His Six is standalone but the characters are all interconnected and it makes for easier understanding and enjoyment. Besides the first two books are great too ! So enjoy the story of Ryder and Wren. ….pat….

Why has it taken me so long to read this author as this was an awesome read. I so need to go back and read the previous books in this series as this was so good.
Ryder is a former Special Forces. He’s broken. So broken we don’t know if he can heal physically or mentally. My heart broke for him. Wren has her own battles. Wren is so good for him. Can she heal him? Can he help Wren? I adored these two together.
This story is heartbreaking. It’s intense. It’s an emotional roller coaster.
This is honestly one of those books I want to delete from my memory so I can read again for the first time. I cannot praise this author highly enough. I’m so gonna read more from this author. I loved it.

I absolutely loved this book. Ryker and Wren make each other forget their anxieties. I love how the female characters in this book (and series) are so strong and not a force with which to be messed. They can hold their own in times of extreme adversity. Ryker was this huge hulk of a man who endured "Hell" but could not fight the pull of love of Wren. The suspense kept me wondering what was in store for everyone. I will definitely recommend this book!

Really enjoyed this book so much , loved the story and writing very much, well done Patricia.
Love the suspense and the emotions that Ryker and Wren go through with In this story and hot 🔥damn as well. I’m a sucker for overprotective alpha males like Ryker they get to me all the time sighhh... And Wren she even made me laugh with her curse words ha ha.
Can wait to read more from you, I recommend this book to all that appreciate a well written story with loving characters.

While this book is a standalone, I heard it was part of a series. So there was parts of the back story that I think would be helpful if I had actually read the rest of the stories. Met the other characters, maybe had more of a connection.
Soooo. Yeah. I read it. It was good. It was. It wasnt really my cup o tea, so I did find myself skimming quite a bit tho. I did feel a connection to the characters. You feel them and their intense feelings.
There was a lot that I skimmed. A lot of the first half of the book that I felt was a little on the slower side, then about 50% came along and BAM I was INVESTED. Then it died a little again. It went like that over and over again for me.
So, I cant say that I didn't like the story. It just wasnt for me. It was good, I liked it, I'd probably reccomend it if someone asked for a book that this one fit the specific bill for.

Too slow with a stupid heroine
## NO. Just no. I'm surprised at all the great reviews. I loved the premise of the story, and the first half wasn't too awful (hence the extra star). But then it went down hill. Way down. The whole Russian mob plot dragged on and on. I was bored out of my mind. And worse were the ridiculously stupid decisions the heroine made. She's kidnapped, restrained, drugged, tortured, and beaten. Repeatedly. Why? Because she wouldn't listen. And then a couple of chapters later she does it AGAIN. In addition she kept popping pills for her anxiety and panic attacks, over and over. Why would anyone take her along on a mission against the Russian mob? Too bad, this had potential. However I'm sorry to say this was a big waste of time.

Ryker and Wren are my two favorite characters from this series, so far. Ryker bears both physical and mental scars from this time as a POW. He now runs his own company specializing in rescue operations for kidnap victims outside the US. Wren is a computer specialist/hacker who works for a company owned and run by Dax, the only other person who survived the POW camp with Ryker. When Ryker tries to patch things up with his old buddy, he meets Wren just as she is trying to find out about her brother's death involving the Russian mob. While I truly did love these characters, the over the top plot, several TSTL decisions by Wren, and the instant love romance keep me from rating this higher.
September 27, 2018
I really liked this book. It started out a bit slow but the build up was excellent. Their were quite a few characters but they each had something of their own! I loved the connection between Ry and Wren from the very beginning. This story was perfect in that it had the suspense the love and the drama it needed.
This is a new to me author and am happy to say I’ll be looking for more from her!

[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
On His Six by Patricia D. Eddy is a dark and gritty story. The story is gut-wrenching and intense right from the start and doesn't stop. On His Six is a book you won't be able to put down once you start.
Ryker's life hasn't been the same since he barely returned home from being a prisoner of war. He is greatly damaged both on the surface and inside. He feels he is undeserving of friendship and love. Wren is a brilliant hacker who lives off coffee suffers from anxiety attacks that seem to control her life. When he literally runs into Wren, he decides to help her when no one else will. Her mission to fulfill her brother's last wish includes the Russian mob so things get dangerous real quick.
Ryker and Wren's story is intense, nerve wrecking, raw and beautiful. They are both broken souls who give each other hope and peace from their demons. They steady each other and understand each other like no one else ever has.
This is my first Patricia D. Eddy book and it will not be my last. I kind of want to go back and read the other two books of hers set in this world and I'll be keeping an eye out for the next one.

"This girl -woman- does something to me I don't like. I can't get enough of her. She's innocent, but not. Sweet, but not. All contradictions and mysteries I'd love to solve. "
"I could kiss this man every day for the next month and it wouldn't be enough. I shouldn't need him. Shouldn't want him. There's a darkness inside him i fear will consume him one day. But I can't help myself. He's broken in all the wrong ways . Perfect in all the right ones. "

Ryker spent months in Hell literally. He is scared and mentally damaged. He pulls away from everyone and faces his demons on a daily basis. The only person who knows what Ryker is going through is Dax and that is because he was in Hell with him. Ryker decides to try to make some amends with Dax on what Ryker thinks he did wrong. Ryker runs into Wren 2 times that day and he ends up getting pulled into something he never imagined.
Wren is a hacker, a very good hacker, she is struggling because she can't find her brother. Wren works for Dax and Dax is blowing her off.
I liked the book but I struggled with how dumb Wren was and the stupid decisions she makes. Ryker is a great character but he also just goes from major PTSD to nothing. The connections were too quick and not very well shown. The book was good though and I will read more by this author.
Received this book as an ARC for my honest review.

Liked Ryker, didn't like Wren
Ugh, Turns out Wren is too stupid to live. I've read this series out of order and thought I really liked Wren and was excited to read this one. I was wrong. I hate female characters like this. Ryker, come save me...ugh you shouldn't have been so stupid in the first place.

On His Six was a good book. I liked the story of Ryker, this wounded and scarred soldier who went through hell and miraculously survived, and Wren, a hacker genius on an impossible mission to fulfill a promise to her late brother. While working together Wren found the key to Ryker's blackened heart and proved that after all he'd been through, he still had a soul.
I liked the writing, it was really entertaining. My only complaint is there were a few references to previous missions - I assume were the storylines in the previous two books - what seemed to have made big impacts on some of the characters' lives but were never elaborated. As I considered this story a standalone I would have liked a few additional sentences there to be able to understand what situations the characters were referring to. Other than that I really enjoyed Wren and Ryker's story.
Out of the two narrators I liked Aiden Snow's parts better. I liked how he brought Ryker's character to life. His female voice was also very good. His speech was a lot clearer, more to my liking. Grace Grant's narration wasn't my favorite. She captured Wren's anxiety in her narration but still, I had a hard time warming up to her way of speaking. It was more slurred and a little less understandable. I'm not sure if it was a recording issue or she has such heavily veiled voice.

Every once in a while a book will come along and shake you to your very core. On His Six is the book that broke me. Let me try to tell you why....
In this story, Ryker is a tormented soul. His stint in the Military left him broken and devoid of any emotion. He is simply on PTSD overload. Along comes Wren which is strikingly beautiful but is suffering from panic attacks and her own personal hell. She seeks assistance from Ryker after her boss Dax denies the request to further investigate the death of her brother. I will not giveaway anymore of the story, but I will say this. If you are looking for a slow burn, action packed, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, Mob madness, emotional roller coaster ride then this novel is for you. Moreover, Ms. Eddy’s ability to strip the bare soul out of Ryker and slowly put him in the right direction is freakishly amazing. Why do I say that, as the daughter of a Naval Veteran that served two tours in Vietnam, sometimes they return a shell of a man while leaving the best parts of themselves in a horrendous hell.
Well done Ms. Eddy. Your story is crazy/ beautiful.
You have left me with a sense of HOPE after almost fifty years.

I can't take this anymore.
This "heroine" had to save someone so she ran towards the bad guys. Of course, the guy she was trying to save "escaped" while she was captured.
There are so many things wrong with this, that I cannot even deal.
1. She's not able to"save" people physically. She doesn't have the strength. She's asthmatic and small. Plus, she's in a foreign country where she doesn't speak the language.
2. Her ex-special forces boyfriend was STEPS behind her. All she had to do was wait for him. Or listen to him when he said they needed to have a plan before rescues could happen.
3. She got herself captured by the same evil man who killed her brother. Wouldn't you think that would give her pause about acting dumb!? Nope.
---
And now, she's being tortured. And I cannot stand it. And the ex-special forces guy is having a mental breakdown. Let's add to the stupidity the fact that he owns and runs a kidnap and ransom rescue company and wouldn't ask for help from his colleagues.
These two.

Intense, emotional, and Thrilling.
On His Six, the third book in the Away From the Keyboard series is Intense, emotional, and Thrilling. We follow Ryker the leader of Hidden Agenda and survivor of being captive in war. He has to make amends with a fellow captive and in doing so meets Wren. Wren is a crackerjack programmer and hacker. She is looking for her brother’s k!ller and Ryker is willing to help. The suspenseful and emotional ride they share as they look for and work to destr*y the worst of the worst kept me on the edge of my seat and holding my breath. I know I let out several gasps and I was reading and few “Oh NO's”. My heart went out to Ryker and all he lived through, but I knew Wren would sooth his soul. The pace is fast and the action electrifying as is Ryker and Wren’s connection. The heat they generate was enough to melt my kindle. I’ve enjoyed this series and Ms Eddy’s style of action and suspense. I’m looking forward to the next book.

This book and the characters and the vivid description and writing is beyond amazing, you will feel every single emotion coming off in waves as we land in Rykers Hell. His emotional torment is heartbreaking as he lives a very lonely life until he runs into Wren who truly sees every part of him right to his soul and the monster he thinks he is. I really loved Wren, she was so strong with the biggest heart and it truly had laugh out moments, loved her swear words and her determination. They bring the good out of each other and not many can do that in such a traumatic situation but these two were the most beautiful truthful" I see you" and they deserved every single bit of happiness and so much more. Oh my heart. Im glad they have Dax, Inara and West in their lives its so much better to have family.

I've not read this author before......but wow I am now hooked and will continue!
Poor Ryker, who thinks he's a true monster meets a small anxiety-ridden young computer hacker called Wren who desperately needs his help to find her missing brother Zion. Unfortunately, this leads to grief for Wren but also onto a path of righteousness. Desperate to help her brothers love from her current abusive situation, Wren herself, becomes the abused.
The emotional torment this causes Ryker, is heart-rending. His poor sweetheart is lost to him, which leads to a battle which shows the true strength of their characters and their love for each other.
I really liked Ryker who at first appears damaged, tough and unloveable. Until his world arrives - his Wren, with her funny "swear" words and quirks. I also enjoyed how Pixel, Inara, West and to bad guy (lol) Dax are part of their ever-growing family.
Get it, read it, swoon with it and SMILE!
"I see you" - lost my heart to that saying!
Joyous x

I really liked Ryker who at first appears damaged, tough and unloveable. Until his world arrives - his Wren, with her funny "swear" words and quirks. I also enjoyed how Pixel, Inara, West and to bad guy (lol) Dax are part of their ever-growing family.
Get it, read it, swoon with it and SMILE!
"I see you" - lost my heart to that saying!
