CAPTIVATING, RIVETING AND SINFULLY SEXY !!! Title: Wicked Nights Series: Steele Security Designation: Book Three, Full-Length but would not recommend as a Standalone, Does include a Cliffhanger Author: A.D. Justice My Rating: Five Divinely Entertaining Stars***** Jackpot! I'm a very happy girl! I love romance, adore suspense, go totally ga-ga over action/adventure and simply can not live without a daily infusion of erotica, and A D Justice delivers it all in one sexy romp! I've struck gold! A D Justice just rocked my world AGAIN with Wicked Nights, the riveting third release in her phenomenal Steele Security Series. That's three books of the series down and one more to go! Justice was a new-to-me author but the first book of the series, Wicked Games, was offered as a free download on Amazon, I assume, as a promotion for Justice's Steele Security series. I'd never read any books by Justice previously nor had I even heard of her, but I was intrigued by the blurb so why the heck not!?! It's free and I pride myself on being an equal opportunity bargain shopper. Hey, don't laugh; I've found a lot of great authors by taking advantage of Amazon's free promotional offers and the day I found A D Justice was definitely my lucky day. But I digress, back to the question. Quite simply, I loved the first book so much, I raced back to Amazon to see if there were other books available in the series and JACKPOT - there were three more books: Wicked Ties (Book 2), Wicked Nights (Book Three) and Wicked Intentions (Book 4). Like I said - Jackpot! And you know what's coming, right? Yup, I quickly snapped up the remaining three books and immediately began my Steele Security binge. I've already read three and plan to hopefully finish the fourth this week. And buttons over biscuits, they're all just as fabulous as the first book! I'm in heaven! the first two books in the series are both full-length novels and can probably be read as standalones but the third book, Wicked Nights is what I would describe as a continuation of the lives of the characters from the first two books, so I sincerely recommend reading the books in order which I believe will enrich your reading experience. But let's talk details! Wicked Nights is a sexy, fast paced, well crafted, beautifully written story with a masterfully executed third person omniscient perspective. And I must say, Justice is the first author I've found in a long time that could successfully deliver a true third person omniscient point of view. For anyone not familiar with the term, third person omniscient is a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story, as opposed to third person limited, which adheres closely to one character's perspective, sometimes two. Now folks, this is not as easy as it sounds since it can become not only quite confusing at times, but it can also be very difficult for the reader to keep up with who is thinking what. Obviously, Justice is a gifted storyteller and skilled wordsmith because she aced it! Honestly, I've never been a fan of third person omniscient - until now. The dialogue is smart, natural, well executed and flows effortlessly. But I have to admit, the pièce de résistance and my favorite element of the entire series is the magnificent cast of characters. They are fascinating, intriguing, captivating, relatable and totally engaging. Oh, and did I mention they're sexy as sin? Well, they're all real panty melters! Hubba! Hubba! Even the bad guys are worthy of mention. They're truly the kind of villains we all love to hate! I fell head over heels for this entire group of courageous former Army Delta Force Special Operatives who have become the members of Steele Security. Unlike the first two books, this story doesn't feature primarily one couple but rather the entire group of Steele Security, their love interests and families. We do have the introduction of a few new characters including a sassy senior citizen named Liz Stanton who really spices things up with some delightful comic relief. And of course, we have a couple of malevolent villains who creep in from the past with evil intentions in their plans and revenge in their hearts and oh my goodness, once again we're off to the races with another riveting adventure for the men of Steele Security and the women who love them! No spoilers from me me but I will say this.... I laughed a lot more in this story although I still shed a few tears, but by the end, I was happy, sated and well entertained. No more spoilers from me but if you're looking for a story filled to the brim with heart-pounding drama, heart-stopping danger, riveting action, heart-wrenching angst, mind-blowing suspense, heated attraction, fiery passion, heartwarming romance and steamy, dreamy sex, then this is most certainly the book for you.
When reviewing a book, there are several questions I always ask myself to determine the rating. First, did I like it, love it or hate it? Well, that's an easy question to answer with this story. Unequivocally, I loved it! This book included every component I love in a great story and the icing on the cake, it was exceptionally well crafted and masterfully written. I spent almost the first half of the book trying to guess who Chaise really was. lol...I was so darn tempted to flip forward to find out but I didn't. No really, I didn't but I admit, I had my suspicions! There were a few very minor grammatical boo-boos but no glaring inconsistencies or plot holes, and certainly nothing that drew my attention away from the story. Second, would I recommend this book? You bet and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain some exquisitely written love scenes. And yes, I said love scenes, not sex scenes. There was definitely sex but these scenes, although plentiful, were done tastefully and always lovingly. But don't doubt for one minute, they were real barn burners, folks, and I loved every single word! Third, will I read this author again? Duh, is that a trick question? I've already read this author again. I raced back to Amazon before I finished the first book and purchased the other three books in the series. I've already devoured two more and can hardly wait to dive into the fourth. And finally, was I entertained? Abso-freaking-lutely! I was totally entertained! I was immediately drawn into this book with the pages flying as did the time, completely enthralled on the edge of my seat and gasping for breath with my heart fluttering wildly in my chest. It was an incredible experience! And folks, please allow me to impart just a little advice: make sure you have several hours to read all 383 pages because once you start, you won't be able to stop until you read the last word! Just sayin'! And now, on to Book Four, Wicked Intentions! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
There's no new love story, and not really a whole lot of angst between the previous two couples. There's a bad guy chasing them. The last line was the rest of the book. Now I need to find out more about her.
For those who aren't aware, this is book 3 in the Steele Security series. If you haven't read the first two books, START WITH THEM or you won't understand this one!
What a great installment in the Steele Security series! We get to see updates on everyone we've met in the last two books. With everything finally getting back to normal for the team, they decide to take a trip so Brianna can visit her old neighbor, Liz, and introduce her to her "family". But that sets something in motion that they never could've seen coming. It seems that there is someone in the team's past that is looking for revenge and now he knows where to find them.
Read along as they try to catch a terrorist while planning for the birth of Noah & Brianna's baby, Bull & Chaise's wedding, and keeping Noah's parents safe while his father is getting chemotherapy. Sounds like just another day at the office, right? Unfortunately for them, this terrorist is a genius level hacker with the backing to get away with murder.
With enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, and color commentary from Liz funny enough to keep you in stitches, you DEFINITELY need to check this book out! I'm already looking forward to book 4 & hopefully Ms Justice won't keep us waiting.
I love this series and this group of hot men and their wives.
In this story we get to meet new characters especially close to the end when Brianna and Reaper's baby is born! We also get to know Liz Stanton, widow and friend to Brianna when Brianna was in Witness Protection in Boulder, Colorado. Liz ends up moving in with Brianna and Reaper in Miami for protection when an attempt on her life is thwarted. Turns out her new neighbour had terrorist ties. This was a personal vendetta for him, however, against the men who had killed his father. Specifically, Rebel. Liz is feisty, funny, and a great addition to the family!
We also meet Silas, brother to Reaper and Chaise, when he shows up at Chaise and Bull's wedding. He is an undercover agent in the CIA and Shadow suspects Silas has a hidden objective. The plot certainly thickens in the final two pages of this book!
AD Justice is amazing. I love this series so much. All of the men and women are strong and fierce. I love that about this series. There is so much tension and angst I couldn't get enough. The Steel Security team is under attack so of course they rally together like they always do. Family sticks together of course. Shadow, Bull, Rebel, and Reaper are all seriously hot alpha males. And the women.... They be some strong ladies and I love them!
With this book you get an update on all your favorite characters and whats going on in their lives. You also get to meet Liz. That woman is a riot! I loved her so much. Spunky old ladies rock! Also, if you haven't read the first two books you need to. You will not fully understand whats going on in this book if you don't.
I cant wait for book 4! Way to go AD!! You rocked it again babe!
No one likes the past to ruin their future, but for this unfortunate tight knit group; Noah, Brianna, Colton and Chaise will have to get back into the game before things get out of hand. The fast pace will have your head spinning. Emotions are running high and danger is closer then ever. A.D. Justice is extraordinary with how she can just transfer the reader into her world. By the time you finish the book you’ll feel as if you just won a war. A war that wasn’t even yours in first place, but even through all the danger you still cherish the tender moments because as readers we were with them till the end.
A.D. Justice's writing is remarkable and I highly recommend any reader that loves hot alpha males, action and tender moments that will make you weep to pick up her Steele Security Series. These characters will forever be with me.
A.D. Justice has done it again!!! Wicked Nights is Book 3 of the Steele Security Series. This has to be my most favorite one yet! This book had it all....love, passion, suspense, twists, turns, and oh so smoking hot sex! The story wasn't rushed. It was so beautifully written and left you, not only wanting but needing more! I felt so many emotions reading Wicked Nights. One minute I'm crying like a baby to the next minute laughing. This is one that you would want to see at the movies...It's just that good! If you haven't read any of the books in Steele Security Series....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!!! Experience this amazing story today! You will be so glad that you did.
Wicked Nights has everything anyone would want in a book. I would suggest to read book one and two first they tie together and will help you to understand this book. In this book we get to go back in time and meet the crazy funny Liz that was Brianna neighbor. Liz is funny and can make anyone feel young. The Steele family welcomed her and she's now part of the Steele family. Liz is so funny I laughed throughout the whole book. Bull and Chaise's wedding was beautiful and the vows by the brother mad me laugh. I loved the whole story line and can't wait for more from this author about the Men of Steele Security. There is a slight cliffhanger. A must read.
I love this series. Reaper, Rebel, Bull and Shadow will do anything to protect their families. With the upcoming arrival of Noah and Brianna's baby and upcoming wedding for Colt & Chaise everyone is happy until a threat, threatens them all. I love how they come together and I and dying to read Rebel's story next. Another amazing book from AD that I can't get enough of
Man! I am so in love with the Steele Security men! Must have more! If you haven't read the first two read them before this one. Then get to reading this one! Love Liz! I want to be just like her when I grow up! Really enjoyed her humor and antics in this book. Locking two CIA operatives out of the house is just priceless!
HOLY FREAKING CRAP this book!!! I don't even know how to put into words how much I love this book. The Steele Security series are one of my absolute all time favorite series ever!! I fell in love with Reaper aka Noah and Bri in Wicked Games then with Bull aka Colton and Chaise in Wicked Ties. This one is the continuation of those four characters and AD doesn't disappoint with not only bringing the hot and steamy sexiness, but also the hold on to your seat suspense that only she can do. I am not going to go into the story of the book because I don't want to give anything away, but I will say that if you have not read this series you need to go one click all three books because they are flipping phenomenal! Oh and not only do we have four of our favorite characters, we also have the oh so handsome, Rebel, and the good gosh I want to bring you home, Shadow. And Liz, OMG, I love her! I want to adopt her and make her my grandma because she is pee your pants funny!! And the ending....HOLY MOLY!! Well that's all I can say, you will have to read it to get what I'm saying but trust me on this, this book is not one to be missed!!! I had the pleasure of beta reading this book. This book can not be read as a standalone. You must read the first two first. I rate this book 5+++ AMAZEBALLS stars!!!
This is the third book in the Steele Security series, if you haven't read the first two books in the series, this one will not make much sense to you. As far as this book is concerned A.D. Justice hit the ground running from the very first page. Noah (Reaper) and Brianna are expecting a baby, and Colton (Bull) and Chaise are happily planning their wedding. Everything is perfect or so it seems, so they plan a trip to go visit Brianna's old neighborhood, and Rebel and Shadow tag along. I mean how much trouble can these six get into by going to visit Brianna's old neighbor? The answer to that would be a lot, and I could not stop turning the pages. This trip allows the reader to meet Liz Stanton, an older lady who use to be a neighbor to Brianna. This lady is a hoot, and had me laughing out loud at her antics. This book will have you on the edge of your seat and I wanted to read faster to see what happens and at the same time I did not want the book to end. There is a small cliffhanger at the end, one of those "oh crap, I need the next book now" kind of things. Fantastic series, lovable characters, and I cannot wait for the next book in this series!!
Received an ARC Copy in exchange for an honest review.
AD Justice has created these sexy as hell characters and I love all of the men from Steele Security! There are a few new characters in this book and this is my favorite of the series so far. This is book 3 of the series and I hope there are lots more to follow! So much happens in this book it's so hard to keep up. It's a real page turner and was hard to put down. I love Liz Stanton. She's definitely someone I want to be like when I get older. Another 5+ Star Read! Keep up the great work. I love me some big sexy Steele Men!!!! Hope to hear more about Silas too
Je remercie Maïewnn et Juno Publishing pour ce service presse.
Je ne vous cache pas que je suis passée complètement à côté de ce 3ème opus. Pourtant j'avais adoré les tomes précédents et tout commençait bien.
Mais un personnage m'a plombé toute la lecture, de par son comportement et son utilité et son rôle aussi.
La famille Steele a connu des hauts et des bas. Des hauts en retrouvant ou trouvant l'amour. Ils se sont battus pour retrouver une certaine sérénité. Désormais ils sont unis pour faire face à la maladie du patriarche Steele. Ils ont des projets, avoir des enfants, se marier, profiter de la vie.
Mais lors d'une visite chez une ancienne voisine de Brianna, Liz, ils ne s'attendaient pas à trouver sur leur passage un ennemi, qui va jouer avec eux, avec leurs nerfs, qui va s'immiscer dans leur vie, les mettant en danger, à plusieurs reprises.
L'intrigue était bonne: un terroriste qui leur en veut, qui a une revanche personnelle à leur encontre.
Et là, je fus perdue: je veux bien que parfois dans ce genre d'histoire, de romance à suspense, il y a de l'humour pour détendre l'atmosphère mais un personnage a plombé cet univers. Je parle de Liz. De par son comportement, de par son rôle, ces paroles, des scènes furent grotesques et non crédibles.
Bien sur ce n'est que mon ressenti et j'ai bien peur que si elle est présente dans la suite, ma lecture soit entachée.
Concernant l'intrigue à proprement parlée, la famille Steele devra être soudée pour contrer ces attaques. LEs secrets, les non dits vont obscurcir leurs actions. Ils ont trouvé plus fort qu'eux, plus intelligent, mais toute personne a ses failles. Alors que le terroriste a trouvé les leurs, ils devront trouver la sienne, pour découvrir son identité, et découvrir pourquoi ils sont pris pour cibles.
La fin de ce troisième opus laisse en suspens l'intrigue. Tout le monde a des choses à cacher.
The main plot continues with the suspense of threats in the background that is building up with the bad guys, while the main characters are trying to maintain their lives with the everyday worries that trouble many in real life. Intense and full of unsuspecting twists and turns, new characters arriving and old ones returning, this story just keeps giving with each new book. Thankfully I am reading the box set but also reviewing each single book as I go. This isn't a one and done type plot, the main one runs through the series while each book deals with a particular part of that, so if you don't like investing in 5 books then you may want to think about it. I personally feel its worth it, there is a whole lot of story in these. The main characters are very easy to love, though one can be a little bit over the top at times but very sweet in others, the pace is steady most of the time but does seem to speed up sometimes but that could be me holding my breathe. Loving it.
3.75. The first two books in this series follow a similar pattern— the couple meets, fall immediately in lust/love, lies threaten their happiness while danger lurks, and after a brief retreat, more deadly drama follows. This story differs, as there is no new couple. It’s the continuation of Colton and Chaise’s engagement and Brianna’s pregnancy. While planning the wedding, waiting for the birth of Noah’s baby, dealing with Steve’s cancer, and enjoying the eccentric Liz, the Steele Security family must find and stop a terrorist. A surprise character brings more danger. The book ends with a shocking cliffhanger. One last comment, this book includes the most enjoyable wedding scene.
This story includes the people from the other books, and bringing Liz to stay with them. When they are threaten by calls, pictures, even to taking over the control of the truck. A man determined for revenge, a genius hacker but who is the big boss behind him. The thoughts are of the baby for Bri and Noah. This has a lot of security details of what the guy is doing. Meanwhile the Steele Security Men will do everything to keep the ones they love safe. Full of action, laughs, and a new baby.
What a great way to get updates on all the characters. I also love the part where they go back to see Brianna's neighbour Liz......what a delightful character she is. This reunion brings another situation to the forefront and Steele Security is once again on the clock. Loved this instalment.
I am hooked on these Steele Security Series. The action is thrilling, the men are alpha hot, the women are very dominant and the sex is plentiful. I highly recommend this series to my friends. On to the next book. I. Must. Know. What. Happens.
Stick a fast, fun, and wild read. I enjoyed every moment from beginning to end. I loved seeing the continuation of some of the characters' stories from previous books.
Lots going on in this book; cyber stalkers, romance, weddings, new babies. The Steele Security family tries to move through their lives as normally as possible despite being targeted for revenge by someone from their past. Lots of happy moments mixed in amidst the craziness.
i love this series - especially the way the characters don't go away, even if the book is focused on a specific couple, all the other people from earlier books are included.
unfortunately, i am now more than half way thru the series, i will be sad when i am done.
Mostly all about the case and everyday life with the family. Not a HEA yet. Accept the wedding for Bull and Chaise was wonderful, continued from “Wicked Ties”! I had no idea Disney offered that much. Excellent story. 5 Stars
YES another great book in the series. Every time I think I know ...he will do...or she will do... or OMG a bad guy...NO she flips it and I'm shocked into a daze
This whole series is very addicting. I found myself wanting to just sit and read. Most excellent writing. I will follow the author to make sure I catch all of her releases.
