Super soldier baby!

Romance: 🖤💙❤️💜
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘📙
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌍
Character development: 😚☹️🥹😉
Narrator(s): 🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration type: Dual Narration
The heroine: Lexie - she grew up with a drunk for a mother who hadn’t cared for Lexie as a child and now that she was grown, only contacted Lexie for money. Lexie had no idea how to be a mother so when she took multiple pregnancy tests and found herself pregnant, she was very worried about her future. She works at Marble Protection, a security and protection firm run by a bunch of former military men, including Asher, whom she had been sleeping with. Though he had a fear of commitment and had been keeping whatever he had with Lexie hidden like a dirty little secret.
The Hero: Asher (a.k.a. Stryker) - he was 32 years old and a former Navy Seal. He and his team were involved in Project Arma and without their knowledge were injected with a genetically engineered serum designed to turn them into super soldiers. Now he was out and co-owned Marble Protection with his best friends and former team members. He healed quickly was faster than almost any species on earth, has superhuman strength and other abilities. Lexie didn’t know anything about his abilities, it was too dangerous. He wanted her to keep her normal life.
The Story: Lexie had recently given Asher an ultimatum to commit to her or end things and they had broken up as a result. But Asher continued to show his interest in Lexie. He told her flat out that he was not willing to let her into his life more but also wasn’t willing to let her go and give her space. Lexie decided to wait a while before telling him about the baby.
The story was pretty good. I have always liked the accidental pregnancy trope, and this one was compounded by the fact that Lexie was carrying a baby that was the product of a man who had genetically modified DNA. Add to that, the people behind Project Arma find out about the baby and want to get a hold of Lexie to study the progeny of their experiments. There were also the relationship issues between Lexie and Asher. I am liking this series quite a bit so far and plan to read and listen to more of the books going forward.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Avery Caris and Oliver Clarke. Avery Caris has a nice voice, she sounds age appropriate for Lexie, and sound very natural, not like she is reading. Oliver Clarke has a good voice as well; he was good at using different voices for different characters. Though you could definitely tell he was reading.

Pretty much just rinse and repeat of the other books. They aren't the brightest bunch for being SEALS. They constantly let people get away andet thekr women get hurt. Eh.

Lexie and Asher’s story was addicting! There connection was so strong from the beginning even though Asher tried to downplay it. These two both had secrets but when Lexie’s comes out it brings them closer and she feels she’s finally getting what she needs and Asher will protect her at all costs!

Finally Asher and Lexis get their story. There were bits and pieces throughout the first 2 books now we get to see the outcome from the months of a casual relationship.
Lexie is fed up with Asher being non -committed . Lexie wants all of Asher, she wants his secrets, trust and most of all his love.
Asher dis not want Lexie's life to be put in danger. This is the reason why Asher is holding onto his secret so tight. But now that he learns a little secret of Lexies he had no choice but to tell her about Project Arma.
Lexie's character is beautiful, positive, loving, strong and determined.
The ending was great and we are introduced to Save as well as Fletcher is this book.
Rating: 3 1/2 Stars

This one was meh at best. At different times I found both Asher and Lexie annoying and I wasn’t sure if I would keep going or not. I didn’t think the suspense of the evil Arma group moved forward and the heroes/heroines are becoming quite interchangeable. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue the series and I know I won’t br rereading it.

2.5 stars
I overall liked Asher and Lexie’s story. It was in the style of one of my favorite romance tropes (secret baby) and Lexie is overall a likable. However, once again I found that even though the hero was cast as the “nice guy,” he was a little overbearing and a little unclear about consent or listening to the heroine despite her being incredibly vulnerable about her needs and her boundaries and him affirming to her time and time again that he wasn’t willing to provide her with what she needed. I’m glad his friends were able to talk sense into him but his whole reasoning for being a commitment- phobe made little sense. Perhaps if he has also been given a back story about his family history, it would have made sense, but to blame everything on his fears about drawing her into the Project Arma danger when she’s already a beloved member of their work family AND his is not even the first serious relationship nor is he the team leader or anything… it just made very little sense. He was a f-boy for f-boying’s sake and honestly Lexie deserved infinitely better. I feel like with the next book Sage is being set up for some gaslightery but perhaps the author will salvage it.

FINALLY Lexie & Asher ❤️
Friends with benefits worked until she caught feelings and he wasn’t willing to commit. Lexie is tired of the secrets. The last thing she wants is to turn out like her mother and it’s happening before her eyes. She can’t hold out for someone who’s not willing to even try, she has to move on and do what’s best for her and their baby. Asher wants her more than anything but thinks she deserves more. He also wants to keep her safe from the people who kidnapped him and his team. But the more he pushes her away, the worse he feels.
Kind of wanted to strangle Asher but I also understand where he came from. My heart went out to Lexie and all she dealt with from him. They both keep big secrets from each other which made me sad but happy they figured it all out. They are so sweet together. Love how devoted Asher becomes.

Another 5-Stars of Seal Action!!!
Holy smokes, once started, my backside was glued to my chair and I barely moved for food because I needed to get through Nyssa Kathryn’s latest release in her Project ARMA series. The woman is a genius. She has come up with an addictive underlying plot thread that rolls through each pair of character’s romantic story, and I tell you now that it is highly advisable to read them in order. If you heed my words, you’ll be doing yourself a solid by getting in on the plot points and reading some amazing as all hell books while you’re at it.
Normally I take notes for review writing as I read, but, with these books, it is something that I have consistently failed to do. I simply DO NOT want to be distracted from reading them. I just have this unerring desire to inhale every word, not to just reach the end exactly, it’s probably more about pigging out on a favourite food, only there’s a limited amount to be eaten. I have no chill and no control. I’m just all in and slurp! It’s devoured. In the same way, I need to know what Ms Kathryn has going on in the latest series instalment, and as always it was freaking AWESOME!!!
The relationship in previous books between Asher and Lexie could be seen as tense and tenuous at best. Lexie wanted openness and honesty, whereas Asher wanted to keep it on the down-low and shield her from the danger that the secrets around Project ARMA entail. She’s had it with Asher’s secrets, and the book opens with her just having discovered she’s pregnant. You can now imagine the plot turn when those behind Project ARMA hear of the first baby to be born to one of these super-soldiers. While the chemistry and heat between Asher and Lexie is strong, it doesn’t lead the book but rather enhances the romantic edge to the story.
As you can imagine, I was one ball of tight tension as I read my way through this book. Whoever tells you that reading is relaxing obviously hasn’t reading ANYTHING from Nyssa Kathryn!!!! 5-action-packed-packed-stars. Again 🖤💛

I mean I liked this one more than the last but still these men can be so insufferable Jesus Christ! Lexi is a STRONG woman holy shit. But like why was she doing all the work like nooooooooo. Honestly I’m just sick of the whole trust issues thing these fuckers have. Like I get it don’t get me wrong but it’s getting tiring to read about. Like mason leave my doctor alone you freak. Ugh insufferable. I loved Luca so all these other motherfuckers have truly just been disappointing.

Best in this series so far and that comes down to Lexie. Despite how much she cares about Asher she refuses to settle for the crumbs he is willing to give her. I love how she stood up to him and to Evie when she chose the men over supporting her friend.

Not a fan of this type of non committal where he keeps expecting and pressuring the cow to get the milk for free

Asher
Project Arma, Book 3
By: Nyssa Kathryn
Narrated by: Avery Caris, Oliver Clarke
I am loving this series and I would say it keeps getting better and better, but that would not be fair to the first two books because they are just as amazing as this one. I recommend enjoying the series in order written, each book features different lead characters, but characters crossover into each other’s books and seeing them again is like seeing an old friend. And there is an ongoing “Project Arma” storyline, and it is beneficial to be in it from the start, more details surface in each book as the team gets closer to their target or the target gets closer to them. This third book is Lexie and Asher’s story, they have been dancing around each other from the start and there was definitely something going on between them and I’ve been looking forward to finding out what. I was also looking forward t learning more about them too. Asher a former seal who, like the other men who were on his seal team, were wronged, used as lab rats to experiment with power enhancing drugs, altering their DNA. They got out of Project Arma, but those responsible for it and ran the experiments escaped. Asher and the others formed Marble Protection, but their primary mission is to mission to find them and take down Project Arma. The problem is those on the run are aware of this and always one step ahead, plus they continue to conduct experiments on others, so they are not the only ones with superhuman powers. Asher and Lexie have been spending time together, but Asher wants to keep their relationship a secret, though he won’t tell her why. He has his reasons, one being it could put her in danger, but she takes it otherwise. But it is something else that puts a target on her back and now Asher and the team need to keep her safe. The writing, plotting and world building are fantastic and there is a perfect balance of drama, angst, action, twists and turns, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and another fabulous romance. Nyssa Kathryn, thank you for another fantastic story and the wild and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Avery Crais and Oliver Clarke did an amazing bringing these characters and story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying and were believable in every role they played. The quality of the audio and their performance was top-notch and you could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured all the character’s emotions and had you feeling every single one. They set the perfect tone for the story and handled the witty dialogue with ease. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen.

**Disclaimer: I was provided an advance reader copy by the author in exchange for my unbiased review and opinions**
🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is the third installment of the Project Arma series. It can be read as a standalone, but you'll understand more of the story if you read the prior two books.
This is Asher's story, which has been hinted at through the prior two books. Lexie is a tough lady, having grown with an absent mother that dealt with addiction issues. Asher is her one blind spot in life and she keeps giving in to him, even though it'd pretty obvious he doesn't want a relationship with her (and says so). Asher, the stubborn mule, does not want to get involved because he doesn't want Lexie to be a risk. You can imagine how is this going to go...
This book has a surprise pregnancy, so if that's not your jam, you've been warned. I usually do not enjoy this trope but decided to continue reading and I am glad I did. I am happy this author didn't drag the drama out and the heroine told the hero of her pregnancy fairly quickly.
This story has some irritating moments. The way her friends act at the beginning of the book. The way Asher refuses to be in a relationship with Lexie because he's scared about the risk (even though two of his friends have SO's). The way he kept being a jackass almost to the end. I seriously wanted to hit him with a frying pan.
It was fairly easy to discover the antagonist in this book, which continues to frustrate me ( I guess I need to go back to reading thrillers and mysteries since I am not getting a lot of that element of surprise through most romantic suspense I am reading).
The book is well written and I do want to know more about the overall arc of Project Arma, but at times this book felt like an itch between the shoulders that I couldn't reach.
Still, I am invested and I want to know more about the overall arc and I will continue to read this series.

This is the third installment of the Project Arma series. It can be read as a standalone, but you'll understand more of the story if you read the prior two books.
This is Asher's story, which has been hinted at through the prior two books. Lexie is a tough lady, having grown with an absent mother that dealt with addiction issues. Asher is her one blind spot in life and she keeps giving in to him, even though it'd pretty obvious he doesn't want a relationship with her (and says so). Asher, the stubborn mule, does not want to get involved because he doesn't want Lexie to be a risk. You can imagine how is this going to go...
This book has a surprise pregnancy, so if that's not your jam, you've been warned. I usually do not enjoy this trope but decided to continue reading and I am glad I did. I am happy this author didn't drag the drama out and the heroine told the hero of her pregnancy fairly quickly.
This story has some irritating moments. The way her friends act at the beginning of the book. The way Asher refuses to be in a relationship with Lexie because he's scared about the risk (even though two of his friends have SO's). The way he kept being a jackass almost to the end. I seriously wanted to hit him with a frying pan.
It was fairly easy to discover the antagonist in this book, which continues to frustrate me ( I guess I need to go back to reading thrillers and mysteries since I am not getting a lot of that element of surprise through most romantic suspense I am reading).
The book is well written and I do want to know more about the overall arc of Project Arma, but at times this book felt like an itch between the shoulders that I couldn't reach.
Still, I am invested and I want to know more about the overall arc and I will continue to read this series.

Asher is the third book in the Project Arma series by Nyssa Kathryn. This is Asher and Lexie’s book.
Lexie has thrown enough hints in the previous books that we knew she and Asher had something going on. Problem is, he doesn’t want to make anything official and doesn’t want to admit what they have is serious.
Asher genuinely cares about Lexie, but he’s terrified something might happen to her because of the people his team are after. He tries to fight his attraction towards her, but knows something is wrong and Lexie is hiding a secret.
I don’t understand how Project Arma’s genetically altered soldiers always get away from our Seal team who are supposed to be equally enhanced. Every time they have an altercation, the bad dudes, especially the Chris dude, ALWAYS manage to escape. I thought our guys were supposed to be badass and unstoppable. Not to mention, the bad guys obviously have a number of people in higher positions helping them because they seem to be one step ahead of our men and know secrets they shouldn’t. It’s beginning to make our boys look pretty weak and incompetent.
Asher and Lexie were cute together once they finally worked things out. I understood Asher’s reluctance to an extent, but I felt he needed to man up a little sooner than he did. Lexie was a pretty good leading lady, and I respected her for being so adamant about what/who was going to be her first priority in her life. Her only flaw was knowing her life was in danger and then deciding she could leave for a minute without one of the guys protecting her and thinking nothing would happen.
I’m enjoying this series and like seeing all the returning characters. I’m looking forward to watching all these men get their happy endings, but also wanting more of the bad guys taken out!

I give 5 stars for the series but different stars for each individual book. Rather than write a review of each of the 8 books, I'm just going to write 1 for the series. The series is about a group of former Navy SEALs who were experimented on without their consent and became super soldiers. They now run a business together while investigating the man/people who did this to them and still present a threat to them and their loved ones. Each man falls for a woman he needs to protect from their enemies. My initial impression of this series was that it was going to be a collection of stories that satisfy an array of tropes with the dedicated, loyal, protective hot guy falling for, and needing to protect, the strong but tormented woman. It is that; and if that was all it was, I would have been fine with that. I would have read them, probably more slowly, and taken breaks between books for maybe a little more substance. However, this series was tied together really well with the background story of chasing the bad guys who did this to them. With every story, it revealed a little more of what was going on, someone else involved, and increased the stakes. It really sucked me in, making it increasingly harder to stop reading and impossible to read anything else between books. For the last 3 books, I started reading the next book immediately after finishing the previous book, and kept reading until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. The whole series together was quite good but should be read in order. I also highly recommend the audiobooks. I listened while reading along.
Asher and Lexie have been seeing each other casually for a while. She wants more but he refuses. He is worried about putting her in danger from his enemies but he isn't willing to give her up either. Then they learn something that both eliminates and amplifies his concerns.

My least favorite of the series so far. So we’re continuing on in this Project Arma saga. But this book unfortunately focused more on the Asher and Lexie relationship. Those two were a headache. First we had Asher being stupid. He clearly was in love with Lexie, but refused to let her into his life anymore than necessary. But that decision got taken out of his hands when she end up pregnant with his baby. And things are very complicated because of his super genes. These two are happily thrown together, except things just didn’t feel right to Lexie. She wants the “I love you” and Asher is still terrified to let her in.
This is where things go down hill for me. Lexie became insufferable and annoying and I was lowkey starting to hate her. Like I said before, she wanted the “I love you” but she wasn’t willing to give him the “I love you” either. The big fight/break up/separation or whatever happens because she hears him make a comment. And it’s not like she overheard it accidentally. He made it to someone while they were all sitting together. So it wasn’t some secret. Anyway, she completely misunderstands what he says. And instead of ASKING HIM what he means by it, she pouts and broods and ignores him while creating her own narrative in her head. And then she picks a fight with him and leaves him and he still doesn’t really know exactly what she’s mad about. She had her own idea of what love looked like that she wasn’t willing to see the ways he showed his love. She was looking for him to disappoint her and let her down. She didn’t accept him until he figured out how to read her mind and play her stupid games. I was so done with her from that point on. I couldn’t bring myself to care about her after that. So the end of the book fell kind of flat for me.

I usually don't read two books from the same series in a row, unless the story itself is a multi-book story. Sometimes, the premise of a book intrigues me so much that I have to read it right after the previous one, regardless. I have to say, though, that I was definitely disappointed with this one.
Lexie started out great and strong and ready to give her ultimatum. But then, she folded practically the first time she was tested. She had sex with him even after drawing her line in the sand. She then kept telling him over and over what she wants and that they are done, but then she just gives that up when he finds out about the pregnancy.
Where is her strength? Her backbone? She was willing to give an ultimatum, but not see it through. She deserves better. I understand his reasons, but they are weak and honestly a little insulting to her. She was strong enough to tell him what she wants, but he wasn't strong enough to give it to her, so he needs to let her go.
This was irritating me so much. All of a sudden everything is OK because she is pregnant, now? That doesn't solve anything, just adds another level of complexity.
I'm glad that she eventually did seem to come to her senses and left him, but at that point I was so disappointed in both of them that it was anti-climactic.
I'm still questioning these so-called SEALs' investigative ability. Because not only have they not found anything, but the bad guys were literally across the street the whole time. Seriously! These guys are either just dumb or inept.
I'm not a big fan so far, since none of these books has been very exciting. I will probably continue to Mason's story eventually.

We are back with the former Navy SEALs that escaped Project Arma. A covert operation, that turned strong men into genetically altered “machines”. Some of their brothers were turned into killers controlled by an unknown group or individual. This surviving and ethically and morally group of men, have targets on their backs. Likely to spread to anyone they get involved with.The goal of Asher Becket’s team is to eliminate the evil that continues to want to destroy them.
In the meantime, they have formed a company training others to defend themselves. One of their employees is Lexie Harper. She’s their front of counter and organizer of the team. She’s also been in love with Asher and though for a while they had a relationship behind closed doors, she’s told him she can’t do that anymore and they “break up”.
But fate interferes when she has a secret that will be evident very soon. When there is a possibility of having a relationship, someone is determined to harm and kidnap Lexie.
When the secret is revealed and the danger continues, all bets are off and Asher is determined to keep her safe. But will it be enough for Lexie’s heart and safety?
This was another story in the series that grabbed your attention from the first page to the last. Keeping you on the edge of your seats, while also getting you to root for the couple’s chance at love and not knowing if everyone would survive the danger.
I can’t wait for the next story in the series, likely to be another winner.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

This series just keeps getting better and better, I also love that we are getting all the characters stories after we met them all in Luca's book.
We finally get Lexie and Asher's story in this book and it takes you for a ride. Lexi is a spit fire, not tolerating any bull crap, and is very strong and independent. She and Asher have been on and off for awhile, him being too afraid to actually commit to a relationship, even tho she really wants to have a committed relationship. She doesn't understand why he doesn't want to commit to her, and thinks it's her, and gets self conscious about herself, not knowing the real reason Asher doesn't want to commit to her is because he's doing it to protect her from Project Arma, since she's the only one who doesn't know about it and the team's special abilities. Throughout the book, Asher finally tells her his secret, after she tells him the one she's been hiding for several weeks. Together, they have to learn to trust each other, and to be open and honest with each other. I liked seeing their relationship grow after Asher finally realized he couldn't not have Lexie in his life. He will do anything to protect her, and their baby, but will their new baby be on the Project Arma radar already without their knowledge? Will Lexi and the baby be safe? A very good read full of suspense, love, passion, and some mystery still behind Project Arma and who's organizing it, and who the team can trust and who they can't trust. Looking forward to reading Mason's book!

Asher and Lexie
This was another fast paced romantic suspense. Asher and Lexie have been circling each other for two books now and Lexie has finally had enough. Asher thought he was protecting Lexie by not committing, but when reality sets in, he realizes he was actually putting her more at risk.
When Lexie finds out she’s pregnant, the casual relationship she has with Asher is no longer enough. Now that she has a baby to think about, she has run out of time to wait for Asher. Asher has been conflicted about the ultimatum Lexie gave him, but when he finds out she’s pregnant with his super soldier baby, he finally realizes his mistakes. Asher is all in from the moment he finds out Lexie is pregnant. He is supportive and caring and tries to help Lexie in any way he can. Of course there are setbacks, he shows Lexie how he feels, but he doesn’t tell her.
Asher feels incredibly protective of Lexie and his unborn child. Because of his altered DNA, Lexie is at risk. Commander Hylar reappears to take Lexie and test her baby. Asher will stop at nothing to keep them safe.
This was very fast paced and high action. Asher and his team struggle to keep Lexie safe while continuing to search for Project Arma. There is betrayal and kidnapping and just when everything looks bleak for Asher and Lexie, the team pulls through and rescues them just in time. I can’t wait for the team to take down Commander Hylar.

Asher
Project Arma, Book 3
By: Nyssa Kathryn
Narrated by: Avery Caris, Oliver Clarke
Wow!! This series is packed with suspense and romance! I was looking forward to Asher and Lexie's story. These two are explosive together, but Asher's always pushing her away. Now, with both of them holding secrets, they will find out just how dangerous Project Arma is. This book is a thrilling and romantic installment. Asher figures out just what is important to him, and just how much danger he has put Lexie in. His over protectiveness may not be enough to keep her safe, and he may never get the chance tell her his real feelings. How does it all turn out? I cannot say enough good things about this book. It has the incredible chemistry that Lexie and Asher have, the intensity that their secrets hold, the impact of how these secrets effect their life and the danger and deception that the project is bringing. But there is a silver lining in this one, and you will have to listen to find it out!
Narrated by Avery Caris and Oliver Clarke, we are treated to a fantastic performance. These two bring out the banter between Lexie and Asher as well as the incredible passion these two have. Caris is strong and determined as Lexie. She brings out a true warrior in her. Clarke is that alpha male that I love to hear. He as a protective quality and a vicious soldier when it comes to family. It's an amazing team, and incredible listen.

Asher “Striker” is in love with Lexie, but with his need for retribution and finding those behind Project Arma he won’t commit to her because he doesn’t want her in danger. Little does he know that she has a huge secret that will put her in more danger that being with him alone would have caused. When he finds that she is already in danger and needs his protection his reservations about a relationship could destroy what they’ve had. The good part is that Lexie is not stupid enough to think that she can protect herself and is not running off.
The men that were created by Project Arma are powerful in so many ways and the men of Marble Protection are powerful but also have the morals to fight the evil that lurks in the world, especially those behind Project Arma and the dangers that they create. Asher and Lexie’s story will bring out more of the secrets from Asher and his brothers’ past and they will learn the actual master mind behind the project. It will not be an ending to them, but it does give them more answers and insight. If you enjoy a book with some sexy, powerful, lethal men and the women that can bring them to their knees, you will love the Project Arma stories and the men and women in them. These women are strong in their own rights and their men bring out the best in them. I give Asher a 5-star review and cannot wait for Mason’s story.

It was good, but oh so frustrating!
If this book had only focused on the danger to them, I think it would have been a lot better. As a lot of the book is taken up by the Asher and Lexie story. Lexie being hurt by him, and then taking him back again, over and over.
Lexi is in love with Asher and has been for a long time. He cares about her, but won’t commit to a relationship with her. He’s happy keeping it between them and it just being sex. Until he finds out she’s pregnant with his baby. To be honest, I spent half the book hating him! Considering he’s a super soldier, with a whole team behind him, he’s so scared of Lexi getting hurt if they’re together, that he avoids a relationship with her. I felt like shouting at him,” Strap on a pair!” Maybe a little bit uncouth, but he was a wimp.
So the Project Arma story continues. When they find out that Lexi is pregnant, she is in serious danger.
Again it’s really frustrating, with the rushed climax to the danger. One page it’s really bad and scary, the next it’s a flaming week later!!! 😡😡 I wanted to read about that week!!!
I have to say in fairness, that Nyssa Kathryn can really write about emotions. I cried with Lexi, when Asher was being an arse. And I love the way that they are all family and behind them.

Stand by my side, don't let me go, and love me alright.
Asher the jokester of the Team, Lexi the company woman for everything. What could go possibly wrong?
No commitment is the theme with what Asher walks into Lexi and their relationship, but not because he doesn't want to, because he can't. Too much feelings of angst and fear for her, the woman who caught him are involved and are stoping him from surrendering to her. Lexi on the other hand loves Asher and can't ignore the relationship status is her new situation.
Her past chases her through the book like Asher's hunts her down like his own fears stopping him from doing the right thing and discovering her truth.
An excellent reading flow is what you can expect besides the awesome and superb story which is waiting for you! Nyssa wrote an awesome Book! Til now the best!!!! of the Project Arma series in my opinion. I wasn't so flashed with Eden or Luca but Asher flashed me away.
The book is written in 3 person, which I normally don't read but for Nyssa I always make an exception because she is a bombshell surprise like she confirmed this time!
For me, the best military read 2020 and I would and will recommend it in this category.

Oh Asher. He is so frustrating but I can’t help but love him! It was evident he cared for Lexie but the distance he kept putting between them was frustrating. And sweet Lexie, her strength is commendable. All the female characters in this series have been such a great example to strength but I connected with Lexie. She had to endure a hard past and then gets wrapped up in project Arma. She never gave up and became even stronger through it all. I hope we get to see more of her and Asher through this series!
I also listened to this on Audible. Oliver Clarke and Avery Caris did a phenomenal job. Oliver captured Asher’s laid back but protective personality well! I loved Oliver’s ability to voice all the characters (male and female). Same for Avery! They could have carried this book on their own if needed. But the two of them together made this story great! They really helped me feel the chemistry and the chaos between the characters and the story.

Asher is another amazing story with a fascinating plot that has you on your toes waiting to see what is going to happen next. Its fast pace has you flipping through the pages dying to know what is going to happen but be prepared as things are not always predictable-thank goodness.
Lexie and Asher have been seeing each other on the quiet since book one but things boil over in this book. Both have secrets that need to be shared, both are reluctant to share them though. What follows is one heck of a ride.
I can’t recommend this series enough, it has absolutely everything you could want in a story:
*A terrific romance with variety galore
*Interesting and different characters that you can’t help but like
*Mystery and suspense that have you on the edge of your seat
*A great sense of humour
*Fabulous descriptions to get the visuals flowing in your mind
*Evil characters that are truly nasty
*Emotions that you feel along with the characters and
*Brilliant writing by an incredible author

Lexie was everything I could’ve wanted in a main character. Strong, independent, fiery and didn’t take any shit. The way she protected herself and her baby was amazing.
Asher…. I liked Asher but ffs he took his time messing Lexie around!! He was obviously besotted with her, but for no reason at all, couldn’t commit!
I am still loving the project arma drama and think that so far, each book has had its own different twist. I love how the stories are linked with all the guys and their new ‘women’, as they put it so many times!
I am obsessed with this series and cannot wait to read Masons book next. I think in my excitement of reading this book, I must have read too quickly over the initial description of ‘Sage’ the doctor, as I don’t remember her being beautiful and the same age as the girls and guys. I think I just pictured some old sciencey lady. So it’s going to take me a bit to get that image out of my head, but I’m sure it’ll be as good as the others!

Don’t settle!!
I loved Lexie. I loved that she did not settle. Even if it meant being alone. I like that she decided what she wanted for her future and fought for it! “Fight like a girl!!!” (Borrowed from another great author)
We met Lexie in Luca and Evie’s story. She is upbeat and friendly and you get the feeling that she is carefree. But underneath it all there is someone who, like all of us has a past. A very past that in a way influences you in what you want to be or not to be... She is strong and brave.
Asher, like most me, needs to be smacked in the head (😉). But lucky for him he has friends/brothers who are not afraid to let him know when he has his head up his, you know what.
This was such a pleasure to read and the buildup to Mason’s and Sage’s story is so exciting! Can’t wait.
Great series. Love every book so far!!!
