Another Stravanos man that loved once and "it was the type of love that could either destroy or empower them!"

Loved arrogant, Alex and feisty and stubborn Tara's gripping romantic suspense! With Alex's brother Julian, the (MMA) fighter marrying Tara's sister in book 6, I enjoyed how this alpha couple was so hot for each other with a serial killer on Tara's tail!

So to Maks' mountain they go!


5 intense stars!*****

LOVED, LOVED THIS STORY..

I throughly enjoyed reading about Alex and Tara's story. This was really a good read. It was great to see some of the other brothers again. I hope there's going to be a wedding or two in the next books. I can't wait for Maks's story. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who enjoy reading a love story with a bit of suspense. Great job T.C please keep these stories coming. Thank you.

🧐🤓☺️

Book number five, sweet story nice plot however, there were too many questionable events that whoever the story. I liked both characters their chemistry was there but just not all palpable as the other couples. This could also be because of the type of people they were developed to be. Cerebral more so than emotional.

These Stravanos brothers are something else. I mean, they're possessive, bullheaded, alphas with hearts of gold. Like all of them are! Now we meet Alex, the introspective and serious lawyer of the family. He falls for Bella's sister, Tara in this book. It was a cute romance with a compelling backstory involving Tara's stalker, so there's some excitement and adventure as well as romance. It starts off as a one-night stand where Tara runs, but Alex is determined to capture her heart, mind, body and soul. You, the reader get to read how he does that and it's all yummy. Enjoy. Can't wait to read about the next Stravanos brother, Maks, who is the ladies' man, player of brothers apparently. He's got something brewing with Alex's secretary!

Awesome

The story or short story was great. Love the whole series and could not wait for Alex's book to be available. The story was short but covered or read like complete book just short, for me due to loving the series. I could not put the book down.

Wonderful

I love these Stravanos men. A great story. I deducted a star because of the numerous editing errors, such as the omission of needed words in a sentence or the inclusion of unnecessary words. Looking forward to Maks and Leslie's story.

Alex

Alex was definitely frank and unafraid. He knew he wanted Tara and walked that fine line between obsession and need.

Gripping Read

Says usual, Ms. Clark, your books never disappoint. and this book was a gripping read. Loved the honest and no hold relationship that existed between these two strong protagonists. This was a suspenseful romance with Alex endeavouring to protect Tara from a clever yet psychopathic killer. I loved Alex's patience with Tara Whelan her behaviour becomes unreasonable though the reader understands why she wishes to distance herself from him - to protect him. I'm also glad Tara does not allow herself to become the simmering heroine who needs a hero. She does take charge. We are also introduced to the next couple who will need the author's magical touch to enable them to have their HEA. I'm also glad that the author is slowly resurrecting the Librarian and th we Sandman. I do hope that Nisha will have her story and perhaps Ben too, after all he has been through. But I will leave it up to the imagination of T.C..Clark.

Nice..😉

I truly enjoyed this yarn about Alex & Tara. Yes it has a ridiculously quick jump to sex..but it wasn't typically tacky. The H&H are very adult and upfront about their mutual attraction and it was sweet & spicy!
It steadily picks up the pace keeping ones interest and it's way cool watching Tara and Alex grow into one special couple while navigating thru danger and intrigue. Of course there are a few cameos of some familiar folks and a painful loss but overall a very entertaining read which I finished in one sitting. Well done! 👌

What a way to find love

Alex and Tara played eyes on each other and felt that instant zing of awareness. This story was less intense for these two. It worked for them. Too bad Tara had crazy stuff happening. Alex was solid all the way.
Don't get name wrong, this was a good story. It just felt like it ended too soon. Also not as much of the family dynamic was involved as in the other stories. But it is a really good read. I'm waiting to see what happens with the Librarian and Sandman.

Love is a two way street.

This story has my heart racing. It had an edge that the other bothers' stories didn't have. Serial killer on the loose and fear was everywhere. While trying to survive, Tara and Alex fell in love. I was cheering for Alex to win her over. I was hoping that this story would cross paths with Dmitri or any of the characters from there. I was very happy to see the Librarian had a moment in the end.

Great great read

This author writings are so well structured. The story development is fantastic. Imagine seeing the Librarian mentioned in this book. I really loved the suspense and the happy ending for Alex and Tara. Such a beautiful love story. Keep up the magnificent job. I hope you have series on each of these couples. Awesome

On Shucks, that's good!

Another out of the park homerun for TC Clark. Alex is the hero we all wish for in tough situations. Tara is the woman we all wish for in those same tough situations. A hero who can handle a strong woman and not hurt her in the process. Refreshing to read an alpha male who is not rapey! Great read!

To Love and Protect

I enjoyed this unforgettable Stravanos brother's book with it's engrossing storyline. I love how Alex & Tara are both charming, independent and strong willed. The dynamics of the story and the connection of the characters flows well in the progression of the book.

Loving the series!

You hear people say they are satisfied with temporary relationships. Or they don't need love. But when they find the one, none of the previous beliefs can hold a candle to the heart. That's what you find with this book, love at first sight. Throw in a little suspense and you got the perfect storm... Can't wait for the next one!

Succinct and to the point. This was about a pretty straightforward couple. I think if this had more pages to grow and breathe it could have been more entertaining. It's not a bad story, just one you've read plenty of times before. There were some editing issues, but outside of that the writing is solid.

Punctuation is your friend

I gave this book 3 stars based on the entire series so far. While the stories were a pleasant diversion, the lack of punctuation negatively impacted my enjoyment. If you can move beyond the run-on sentences and lack of proper punctuation, I say go for it. I'll change my rating to 5 stars if the next book in the series is properly edited.

I love the action drama and a Tara was an fighter at the end. She was like an mouse caught by an cat in corner. You come out fighting. Alex was strong man . He protected Tara even when she try to run. I was very glad Ben recovered.

I love the way Josh got kill. The same way he do to his victims. I so happy to see Alex an Tara came together at the end.

Suspenseful and engaging.

A thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable read. Alex is almost as alpha as Nikon. I liked the fact that Tara was as independent and resourceful as a character, but not over much. This was a lovely read and a realistic one when it comes to law enforcement doing their jobs or lack there of.
