Lighthouse Security Investigations
The security and investigation company is filled with handpicked men and women from the SEALs, Rangers, Special Forces, Deltas, and Air Force Special Ops. All trained in CIA Special Operations, the Keepers were the best of the best and ready to take on any mission.
Blake…former Delta and adventure lover was stuck on a boring, bodyguard mission for an academic at a conference in French Guiana. The only thing holding his attention was the beautiful interpreter he noticed in the balcony and at the hotel.
Sara…an American interpreter assigned to the economic conference, found the handsome bodyguard to be much more interesting than the topic she was interpreting.
They shared a night of passion and were prepared to say goodbye…until Blake watched her kidnapped from a shop the next morning.
With the aid of the French Guiana Police and the other Keepers from Lighthouse Security, Blake's routine mission became anything but boring and the Amazon rainforest was no hiding place for the men who dared to take Sara.
As they made their escape up the Lawa River, Blake found that Sara was much more than just a rescue mission. But would their love survive the return to their lives back in America? When she is threatened again, Blake vows to keep her safe at all costs.

About the author
Maryann Jordan
164 books1,281 followersAs an Award Winning and International Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo Best Selling Author, I have always been an avid reader. I joke that I "cut my romance teeth" on the old historical romance books. I’ve written as a hobby for over 30 years. In 2014, I finally gave in to the characters in my head pleading for their story to be told. Thus, Emma's Home was created.
My first novel, Emma's Home became an Amazon Best Seller in 3 categories within the first month of publishing. Its success was followed by the rest of the Fairfield Series and then led into the Love's Series. From there I have continued with the romantic suspense Alvarez Security Series and now the Saints Protection & Investigation Series.
My books are filled with sweet romance and hot sex; mystery, suspense, real life characters and situations. My heroes are alphas, take charge men who love the strong, independent women they fall in love with.
I worked as a counselor in a high school and have been involved in education for the past 30 years. I recently retired and now can spend more time devoted to my writing.
I have been married to a wonderfully patient man for 35 years and have 2 adult, very supportive daughters.
When writing, my dog or one of my cats will usually be found in my lap!
I love to hear from readers, so please email me!

This is Sara and Blake’s story. One night was all it was supposed to be until he saw her taken from a shop the next morning. Now he is on a mission to get her back.

Blake had just returned from a mission, a rather boring one and he really wanted something with a bit more action. Unfortunately he was assigned as security to a man attending an economics summit in Guiana. A man with no threats against him, just a fear of being in a foreign country.
He settles in somewhat with Stanley, but really didn't see the point in traveling if you weren't going to do some site-seeing and sample some local cuisine.
Blake notices one of the translators, her hair is what caught his eye, but she was magnificent in all ways. Unfortunately he thinks he's missed his chance with her only to have her return to the bar where he was enjoying a drink alone on the last day.
Sara and Blake share an explosive evening, one that him waking alone. He does however get the opportunity to see her at breakfast after Stanley heads to a lobby shop to get gifts for family.
He intends to catch up with Stanley and does when Sara expresses a desire to purchase a scarf she saw earlier, a sort of tradition started by her mother.
Then the fun begins.
Let me say here that I was surprised at the reluctance of the police to help. It was only with Mace's insistence that Blake was given an officer to assist and escort him where he needed to be. More back up would be coming in the form of Drew and Tate to get them safely home.
Blake and Sara are pursued down the Lawa River. Only to find they really are compatible and when all this is done they want to see where their relationship can go.
Fast-paced and emotional with plenty of action, twists, plus romance and sizzle.

I think I have a new favorite Lighthouse Security book! I absolutely loved Blake, Maryann Jordan’s newest addition to the Lighthouse Security series. Blake is sent to French Guinea on a mission to escort a professor to an economic conference. While at the conference, a woman catches his eye. On his last night there, he finally meets Sara. Sara is an interpreter working at the conference and while there, she also notices Blake. The two finally meet at the hotel restaurant and sparks fly. The next day, while shopping, Sara is kidnapped and Blake can’t stop it. He calls on LSI, and begins to figure out how to get Sara back. Maryann will grab your attention from the start and won’t let go until the end. I loved Blake and Sara, the lead in to her next series, and the few details we get about the next LSI hero’s book. I received an authors copy and I have left an honest review.

This is a pretty intense romantic suspense that will keep you page turning and wanting more. Follow Blake and Sara through the wilds of the Amazon rainforest as he tries to rescue her from kidnappers. He's a former Delta Forces member and a security bodyguard for the famed security firm, Lighthouse. She's an American interpreter on an International assignment. The chemistry between the two is amazing and guaranteed to set your Kindle on fire. Well written with strong, well developed characters and an engaging story No shortage of drama, suspense or danger. This might be my most favorite Lighthouse book to date. I read an arc copy and voluntarily chose to write a review. A great read that I know you will enjoy.

Blake is a member of Lighthouse Security however the most intriguing part of his security detail at a conference is the interpreter that he can’t stop thinking about. When Sara accepted the job in French Guiana she thought the locale would be what would keep her entertained but that was before she saw Blake.
Their first meeting leads to a steamy evening together but when she is taken captive the next day Blake’s mission has changed and now there isn’t anything he won’t do to get Sara back and then keep her for the rest of their lives.
This is romantic suspense at it’s best which keep you captivated until the last page.

5 "Happy Sigh" Stars
I just finished Blake by Maryann Jordan and can't remember finishing a book so fast. This was a fast-paced, enjoyable read. The action started right away and kept me on the edge of my seat. And watching the relationship between Blake (super hot) and Sara (super smart) transpire made for an enjoyable journey. It was great to revisit previous couples in the Lighthouse series, but in my opinion, Blake can be read as a stand-alone.

Blake is a standalone in the Lighthouse Security Investigations series. I love the blend of romance and suspense in this series. Blake is one of Maryann Jordan’s more suspenseful stories. It had me on the edge of my seat throughout most of the book, but the story still had all the swoony romance I crave.
“...he wanted more of her. More of her laughter and teasing. More of her smile. More of her body. More of everything.”
I feel like I say this a lot with this author’s books, but I think I’ve found a new favorite.
-5 Stars!!-

Another Maine couple
I enjoy this authors stories and this series is no exception. Sara and Blake meet and think it will be a short interlude. Lots of action and drama. I did have a hard time connecting with this couple, not exactly sure why. Looking forward to the next one.

I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.
Blake (Lighthouse Security Investigations #5) is absolutely fantastic. Blake has moved to the top of my favorite of the Lighthouse Security Investigation series. This story is about Blake and Sara. Blake is sent to French Guinea on a mission to escort a professor, Stanley, who is afraid to travel, to an economic conference. This mission has left Blake a little bored; however, while at the conference, a woman with red hair catches his eye. On his last night there, he finally meets Sara, the women with the red hair. Sara Lancaster is an interpreter working at the conference. Sara also has noticed Blake. On Blake’s last evening there he is in the hotel bar having a drink when he finally gets the opportunity to meet Sara. She joins Blake at his table and they spend the evening together. While escorting Sara back to her room he takes a chance and invites Sara to his room. As soon as the door closes...WHAM, these two are all over each other, and spend a very HOT night together. When Blake wakes up, he discovers that Sara has left. Disappointed, Blake was hoping to see Sara again before he left. At breakfast, Stanley heads over to the gift shop, and Blake once again gets the opportunity he was hoping for when Sara comes down for breakfast. Blake invites her to join him, and they enjoy a wonderful breakfast together. Okay, that is all I am saying because this is when the action and suspense occurs. When an incident happens, my thoughts naturally went to my favorite line to one of my favorite movies; The Last of the Mohicans, “You be strong, you survive...You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you. I absolutely loved everything about Blake (swoon). This story has you on the edge of your seat throughout the book, and you cannot help, but to hope that things work out for these two. I am a huge fan of Maryann Jordan, and have read all of her books. She has such a way with character development, and making you feel and experience everything the characters are feeling and experiencing. By the end of the first chapter you know exactly who all the characters are and their place in the story. Blake (Lighthouse Security Investigations, book #5) can be read as a standalone, but I would start with Mace, the first book in the Lighthouse Security Investigations series because the characters from this book make appearances throughout the series. I highly recommend Blake (Lighthouse Security Investigations, book #5). You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to see what Maryann Jordan has in store for us next.

Blake, former Delta, is currently working for Lighthouse Security. He’s just been assigned a case where he’s a bodyguard for a professor attending an economic summit in French Guiana. It’s not normally the type of “challenging” work he thrives on, but it’s his assignment. On his last night in French Guiana, he works up the nerve to speak with the translator that caught his eye during the summit. After spending an amazing night together, she almost slips away without saying goodbye. They’re in the hotel gift shop when an armed robbery occurs and Sara is taken hostage. Now the adventure begins...
Sara, an American translator, takes jobs at home and abroad. When offered the opportunity to travel to French Guiana, she jumps at the chance. Her cubicle at the UN and her tiny apartment are starting to close in on her. Sara was raised traveling with her parents in the Peace Corp and welcomes the travel opportunity—especially when she lays eyes on Blake. Sara never dreamed she’d have the opportunity to be with a man like Blake, but took a chance and approached him anyway. When she’s taken hostage, she only hopes Blake will come for her.
The adventure, the travel abroad, Americans in trouble in a foreign country, had me reading well into the night. It’s number five in the series, but one of my favorites! For a young female, traveling to a foreign country is scary this day and age. Anything can happen in the blink of an eye. It’s scary to think that someone could kidnap you, never to be seen again. Influential drug lords have the police, politicians, and others in their pockets and can get away with a lot.
The story was very informative and ends with a HEA. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

This is book 5 in the Lighthouse Security series and I would absolutely read the other books before reading this one although it could be read as a stand alone. In this one we get Blake and Sara's story. Blake is a Keeper who is sent to French Guiana on a bodyguard assignment where he meet's Sara who is a translator. They have an instant attraction and have a blazing hot night together. Which is all that Sara thinks it will be although they both find out that they truly like each other as well. But when Sara is kidnapped from a hotel store right in front of Blake? His mission has just changed to not only finding her but bringing her home safe and sound. But once they make their escape and return home and Sara is threatened again? Blake knows he will do everything and anything in his power to keep her safe.
I absolutely loved this one. Blake and Sara have this instant attraction that they think will only be for a night. But when they truly spend time together, they realize pretty quickly that they genuinely like each other. And that is pretty rare when it comes to that type of meeting. Sara is sweet but has a backbone of steel. She make get knocked down but she will always get up and do what needs doing. Blake is definitely the alpha male and protective as all get out. But he also has this sweet side that you can't help but love. I loved them both and they way they not only interact with each other but with their friend's as well. I also loved how it introduced a new character and he reacted to threats to his friends! I heard about a spin-off series with that character and his family and friends and I can't wait to read that one now!

4 - 4.5 Stars
‘The Lighthouse SI Keepers were men and women from the SEALs, Rangers, Special Forces, Deltas, and AF Special Ops. All having been trained in CIA Special Ops, the Keepers were the best of the best and ready to take on any mission.’
Blake is the fifth book in the Lighthouse Security Investigations series by Maryann Jordan. This collection is a thrilling blend of romantic suspense, military action, and heartfelt human connection. Each book follows a member of the elite “Keepers” who are former SEALs, Rangers, Special Forces (and other top-tier operatives) who now work for Lighthouse Security, a private agency dedicated to protecting lives and uncovering the truth.
There is a great balance between high-stakes action and the (deep) emotional arcs. The missions are intense, with well-paced suspense and clever twists - but the real heart of each story lies in the relationships, and not just the romance between leads, but also the camaraderie among the team.
The settings are vivid, from coastal safehouses to international danger zones, and the author’s attention to tactical detail adds realism without bogging down the storyline/pace.
Each book can be read as a standalone - but in saying that, reading them in consecutive order will reward you with a richer understanding of the team’s (evolving) dynamics.
If you enjoy protective heroes, resilient heroines, and a mix of danger, loyalty, and love - then this series delivers consistently satisfying reads.
Happy Reading…

Blake is sent to French Guiana to an economic conference as a bodyguard for a professor. While there he spots a lovely interpreter that he hasn't yet met. As luck would have it he meets her at the end of his trip. They spend an incredible night together and then things go to hell the next morning.
Sara spots Blake from her spot above the conference floor the first day but she doesn't make a move until her last night there. She slips out of his room the next morning to pack. She meets up with him again at breakfast and they walk to the hotel shop where she wants to pick up something and where he is meeting his client. Trouble ensues and Sara is kidnapped.
Blake rescues her and while they are on the run waiting to be rescued by his team, they get to know each other better. And well love ensues.
Sara is a strong character and she doesn't fall to pieces when faced with danger, she is a protector in her own right. Blake is strong and good at what he does. They are perfect for each other and the story is full of action and adventure. I enjoyed this story as I have all of the books in the series so far. Ms. Jordan's heroes are alpha males and her heroines are strong and resilient. They are strong females caught up in crazy circumstances. I like to read her stories when I can read them all the way through without distractions. I get sucked into her stories and I don't want to leave.

Blake (Lighthouse Security Investigations book 5) is another great addition to this already amazing series. Maryann Jordan has written an action packed, suspense filled story, with danger and plenty of heat. I just want to say wow the characters are well developed and easy to like. Blake works for LSI and is on a bodyguard mission when his attention is caught by a beautiful red haired interpreter. Sara finds the handsome man standing below her much more interesting then what she is interpreting at the moment. When they meet up the night before they are scheduled to leave they have an incredible connection. But when things take a turn the next morning Sara finds herself in a horrible nightmare and Blake is determined to rescue her at all costs. This is just where the journey begins and will have you turning the pages as quickly as you can to see what awaits these two. For me this was one fantastic story that kept me hooked and unable to put this book down. If you love strong Intelligent women and the men who want to be with them and protect them this is definitely the book for you. This is a must read one you won't want to miss.

I have never read a Lighthouse Security book that disappoints – or a Maryann Jordan book, for that matter, and Blake is no different. Literally babysitting a nervy conference speaker, Blake meets an interpreter that transforms the tedious mission – right up until the time, after a night together, she is kidnapped while they’re together in the hotel boutique. Sara is thrust into a nightmare in the French Guiana, with Blake desperate to rescue her, but with none of his LSI friends at hand at first. The suspense factor in this book is orbital; the tension never lets up, and the reader feels as though they’re with Blake as he tracks her and afterwards – because that isn’t the end. There is romance, there is heat, there is the usual LSI hotness, and there is suspense and action – and these combine into a book you will want to read over and over. Sara is another LSI woman that is as strong as her man, and her mental fortitude adds even more to this story.

We are back with the strong, and protective men and women of LIghthouse Security Investigations. Men who little by little have found their soulmates. Women that are strong, self-sufficient and supportive.
This time the story belongs to former Delta Force operative, Blake Walker.
He is in French Guiana as a bodyguard for a man at an academic conference. The same conference that brings, interpreter, Sara Lancaster, to Guiana.
The one night stand left them wanting more b, until Sara is kidnapped and Blake assigns himself as her rescuer, along with LSI.
The action is non-stop, the main characters strong and likable, and even when you think the danger is over, it really isn’t .
As always, it was a delight to “visit” with the rest of the LSI crew.
This is another well written story that leaves the reader wanting to know what’s in store for Tate, one of Blake’s co-workers.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Blake and Sara
Blake wasn't pleased with his new assignment. He wanted more excitement. He was to be a bodyguard. He was her red hair across the room. Finally the last night he finds out she speaks english. They spend the rest of the night together. When he wakes she is gone. He really wanted to spend more time with her.
While Blake is finishing breakfast his charge decided to go shopping at the Hotel gift shop. After he leaves Sara comes in looking for a table. Which of course he shared. As they were finishing up Sara mentions a scarf she wanted to buy. He needed to meet his client there so gladly went with her. As they were talking and shopping 3 gunmen robbed the store. On the way out they grabbed Sara. Blake chased but they got away. All Blake knew he had to get Sara back.
From here until the end I have a hard time breathing until The end. Another great book.
Blake wasn't pleased with his new assignment. He wanted more excitement. He was to be a bodyguard. He was her red hair across the room. Finally the last night he finds out she speaks english. They spend the rest of the night together. When he wakes she is gone. He really wanted to spend more time with her.
While Blake is finishing breakfast his charge decided to go shopping at the Hotel gift shop. After he leaves Sara comes in looking for a table. Which of course he shared. As they were finishing up Sara mentions a scarf she wanted to buy. He needed to meet his client there so gladly went with her. As they were talking and shopping 3 gunmen robbed the store. On the way out they grabbed Sara. Blake chased but they got away. All Blake knew he had to get Sara back.
From here until the end I have a hard time breathing until The end. Another great book.

Blake works for Lighthouse Security Investigation and is on assignment in French Guiana as security for one of the delegation people. When he sees one of the translators he decided that he would try and meet her if possible as she was beautiful. Sara noticed Blake straight away and when she had a chance to spend some time with him she decided to go for it. Then Sara is kidnapped and Blake will do anything to get her back. Will Blake get there in time or will he miss his chance for a happy ending. I love this series so much and I have read every single book. Maryann is an incredible author and amazing writer and her books are so addictive and I must read. I definitely recommend you read this book and series and others by Maryann and you will definitely not be disappointed.

Just when Blake thinks his latest assignment is his most boring one yet, he catches site of a beautiful redhead and finds that his life is about to change forever. Being a interpreter has been a dream job for Sara and when she catches sight of the most handsome man she has ever set eyes on, she finds that her life changes in a way she was not expecting. When Sara is taken hostage in front of Blake's eyes during a robbery, his only thought is that he must do everything to get her back. They have a bumpy and dangerous road to their possible HEA and I was kept on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I LOVE the Lighthouse Security Investigations series and just like the previous Keeper's story, Blake did not disappoint! GET THIS BOOK!

Maryann Jordan knows how to do it right and she does it every time with each book she crafts. Remarkable multilayered characters are incorporated into an evenly paced story with the perfect mix of suspense intrigue, danger and romance. You quickly become invested as the story unfolds. In this case, Blake proves that Maryann knows how to write an alpha male to perfection. He's sexy, smart, skilled, sensitive and a protector. Sara Lancaster a splendid pairing for Blake. She's intelligent, accomplished, courageous, tenacious and beautiful. When she becomes Blake's mission, there's no stopping this one man wrecking crew. Sara keeps her wits about her, plays it smart and handles herself admirably. The outcome is never in question but that doesn't mean that you don't get a rollercoaster ride along the way!

action packed
Blake meets Sara at a conference. They are immediately attracted to each other. But then she is kidnapped in front of him. What ensues after that is an action packed adventure with lots of gnarly moments, thrills, and reveals. The danger is real and the enemy is strong.
Maryann Jordan’s fifth book in the Lighthouse Security Investigations series, Blake, starts off with a meeting between Blake and Sara and a steamy encounter. The latter parts of the story has some of the characters from the other stories in the series show up, and Ms. Jordan explains the situations succinctly. I love the straightforwardness of Sara and her fortitude. I love how Blake doesn’t question or argue his attraction to Sara and just acts from his heart. A swoon worthy protector romance !!

Yet another book from Maryann Jordan for me to love...
Maryann gives us another heart stopping, suspense filled romance. Blake is the fifth book in her Lighthouse Security Investigations series and has become my new favorite. Going into Blake’s book I knew it would be good but I was totally unprepared for the way this book captured all my attention. Let me just say that I instantly feel in love with Blake, I was swooning. The instant connection between Blake and Sara was very believable. It was just there. Sara is a kick ass heroin with a very likable personality. I am not going to put any spoilers in my review so I will just say that you of have not read any books in this series, you owe it to your self to experience Maryann Jordan’s “Keepers”.

Blake
WOW! Another FANTASTIC story by Maryann! Blake meets Sara. They have an explosive night together and then Sara is kidnapped. I believe both fell in love with each other before they actually met. Anyway, Blake does everything in his power to rescue Sara but she proved to be a strong and capable woman. Once they land back in New York City, all thought Sara was safe but trouble followed her. Blake, Tate and Drew save Sara once again. I am happy these two found each other and started working on their happily ever after! I was pleased to see that Drew and Babs had their wedding. I loved how Blake proposed to Sara under the Eiffel - how romantic! FANTASTIC job Maryann! I would highly recommend this book!

Blake and Sara
I really enjoyed this one. In fact in couldn’t put it down. My therapist at the sleep clinic is going to roll her eyes when I tell her I went to bed later than usual but couldn’t sleep so I got up and finished. She told me to pick the most boring book to read at bedtime. Oops this was definitely not a boring book! Blake is on a boring mission as a bodyguard for a nervous nerd at a economic conference in New Guinea and sees a beautiful translator but doesn’t locate her until the last night. Sparks fly and then she’s kidnapped by a dangerous gang. Well we know what happens next. She is determined to find her. Lots of action, suspense and steam. Dive in and lose some sleep!

Darn it will only allow me to give 5 stars when I know it deserves 10.
I loved this book. I have been waiting for Blake's story and was not disappointed.
The story moved along flawlessly and kept me turning the pages. I snickered in parts, cried in others and laughed out loud.
The story allowed us to see how mistakes can destroy, understanding can heal and love and empathy can conquer all.
The story was written beautifully and the characters almost jumped off the page..
Another awesome story in The Lighthouse Security series. Congratulations Maryann you are the best author without a doubt.

This is a wonderful series as we meet the Lighthouse Security team and their individual stories. This one is centred around Blake who leaves to carry out a routine assignment only to end up with another that will change his life. Blake and Sara are great character's and you can feel their chemistry and attraction as you turn the pages and follow them through their journey fraught with danger and suspense along with assistance from the rest of the team. A superb action packed book that keeps you engrossed from beginning to end. A must read book as are all books and series from Maryann Jordan who never disappoints.
