This is book six in The Trident Series and it is Dino and Arianna's story and omg I loved it so much and it is a must read. Arianna is a FBI forensic accountant and she helped wolves crimes and terrorism and when she is asked to go undercover as a FBI agent to get information on Demitri Barros who is into human trafficking she goes as the newest lingerie model called The Black Swan but what on earth as she gotten herself into. Just over two years later she has the break through that she needed only for her cover to be blown. Demitri is now looking for Arianna as he wants her for himself and his model but will be fine her and what will happen if he does as he is.a.evil and dangerous man. Dino is a navy seal and he is part of the Trident team who are not only his brother's but his family as well but he has kept a important part of his life a secret that they don't know about and that is why he didn't do commitment of relationships but when Arianna moved in next door to him the attraction and chemistry between them is instant and strong and you could feel it sizzling of the pages of the book. I couldn't put this book down and it was so addictive and along with the twists and turns there was danger, betrayal, secrets, hope, love and emotional situations that have you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the first page until the last and I definitely recommend you read this book and series and you will definitely not be disappointed. Jaime Lewis is an amazing author and writer and she certainly knows how to keep her reader's attention and I can't wait to read the next book in this amazing series.

An excellent addition to the series this book revisits all the characters we have grown to love whilst introducing new ones we can’t wait to read about.
I loved the beginning of this book and whilst there was a good proportion dedicated to Arianna back story, I felt it was time well spent and it really gave her characters more depth overall. Dino was an unexpected surprise, a quiet character in the previous books, who knew that he was hiding such a baddass yet loving heart in there.
The storyline worked well for me, exciting and pacy with the right amount of angst, danger and romance, the addition of Nigel was just the sweetener really and I think he might be my favourite character overall. I loved the dock scene where they first met, and the collar scene made me giggle like mad.
My one small downside to this book is that I did find some parts of it choppy in how the scenes moved from one part to the next. The usual smoothness and seem less storytelling I know and love from this author wasn’t always apparent. It didn’t impede my enjoyment of the overall book but did give me pause at times whilst I mentally caught up with where we were.
Overall though, another amazing read in this series and as usual the teaser for the next book leaves me hanging.

I'm torn over the review for this book as I did enjoy it, but it was a little too long and had too many holes in the story. Arianna works with computer forensics when she gets asked to go undercover by the FBI. They push her through training and she spends two years of her life trying to infiltrate a sex trafficking organization when things go wrong. I loved how Arianna was resourceful when she needed to be to save herself. She didn't wait around for Dino or anyone to come to her rescue. The ongoing problem I had was as a trained FBI agent, why did she never carry a gun for protection when she knows people are hunting her? Also, after leaving modeling, Arianna is able to keep all the money she made as a top European model and this is specifically pointed out in the book. However, throughout the story, she is trying not to reveal her undercover persona, but holds a fashion show with a top name designer as if no one will recognize her. Good story with plenty of twists and turns, but needs fine tuning.
This is the sixth book in the Trident series. It’s a fast paced, steamy military romance. It can be enjoyed as a standalone, but I think this series is better when read in order since it’s about a team of Navy SEAL’s. I love the camaraderie between the SEAL's, their family and anyone they love is brought into the fold. The way the author writes their interactions always makes me smile. Another excellent story, its well written, action packed and steamy. If you're a fan of military romantic suspense grab this book and the others in the series you won't regret it. Dino and Arianna both think a friend with benefits deal is perfect for them. Dino's worried about secrets from his past hurting someone he cares about and Arianna wants to concentrate on her career. Unfortunately Arianna's undercover work follows her home. While Dino tries to help her stay safe, they may just find out they're more than just friends.

Another gripping story in this series! Arianna has been undercover for the FBI but when everything went wrong she returned home, where she met her new neighbour Dino. She was instantly attracted to him and ended up spending the night together. They start seeing each other a bit more, with the agreement that neither want anything serious, but when they realise they have mutual friends they end up growing closer. When Arianna’s life is in danger Dino knows he has to protect her, but he quickly realises he has fallen for her as well. I absolutely loved this book, all the characters are fantastic but loved Dino and Arianna, the chemistry was just amazing. This book, like all the others in the series had me gripped from the start and on edge right through. Fantastic, would definitely recommend - can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book in the Trident series is about Dino and Arianna. She is not just his new neighbor, she is so much more. She has just given up years of her life, all for a blown undercover operation, a questionable career and she is being hunted. Dino is a stand up guy with some secrets he thought to keep buried. Arianna is going to bring trouble his way especially since sparks fly from their first meeting. Their story is full of danger, drama, friendship, action, heat and love. It was a good story. I thought that Dino and Arianna both deserved their happy future together

It was soo good to see all the guys and gals again and see who Dino would finally end up with and Arianna most definitely is her perfect match. The way Dino and Arianna meet is a surprise and fun as well and then when the dots are connected I burst out in laughter especially as they had no clue for quiet some time. There are plenty of twists and betrayal not just by the bad guys and times where you don't know where the danger is actually coming from, this was a fantastic read my only niggle was the whole cover story Arianna had for the 2 years prior to everything going down, it just felt a smidge unrealistic but I still loved the book!

Dino had been hurt so badly back in the day he thought he'd never heal, but that was before he'd met his new neighbour. Arianna had been undercover for 2 years when her assignment with the FBI went south. When she got back to debrief, things took another direction she wasn't expecting But on the upside she was taking time for herself and her dad and friends to touch base and catch up after being away for so long.
Another Incredible book for Jaime Lewis, the more l read this author's books the more and more l become addicted!
I would Highly Recommend this Author to Anyone and Everyone who loves Romance & Action and is looking for an Incredibly exciting read.
Well, this was kind of a letdown after all the great reviews I've seen. I don't know why this was classified as a romantic suspense. Don't get me wrong, I loved the romance between Dino and Arianna and the obstacles they overcame together. However, it's the suspense I had issues with. The issue being, there was none, except for maybe 5 pages at the very end, which felt incredibly rushed compared to the rest of the book. There were several "bad guys" but none of them were even remotely threatening and because we had some chapters from their POV as well, that just ruined all the fun for me. Still giving 2.5 stars for Arianna, Dino, the rest of the team and my boy Nigel.
Arianna is chosen for an FBI mission. She's going to pose as a lingerie model to help find a criminal. Just as she's getting 'hands-on" with the target things go haywire, and another FBI team is involved. She escaped, but I sure hope the treatment she got from the FBI was pure fiction, because that was dirty. She goes home and meets Dino in an unexpected way, by sneaking into his property to enjoy his dock. He finds it funny, and they become friends. Then her dad is poisoned, and she's threatened. The team rallies around her, and ultimately save her twice. Dino proposes using her dog.
This is the perfect addition to this wonderful series Dino has been a character that has lurked in the background up to now but finally we get his story and what a story it is Arianna is the perfect counterfoil for him and the heat and steam these two have between fair makes the pages sizzle and as usual we get to reconnect with the rest of the guys and gals from previous books. While this book can be read as a stand alone I do believe it is a far better read if you have read the series in order and it is so good why wouldn't you read them all
This is the 2nd book I've read written by Jaime Lewis; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is the 6th book in the Trident Series; it is a stand-alone book. Arianna is a FBI undercover agent posing as a model but when a raid goes wrong her cover is blown. She moves and when she meets her new next door neighbor Dino; when danger follows her Dino comes to her rescue.

Another great story in this series, Dino and Arianna's story is wonderful. The whole team are back in support of the couple. Through trials and tribulations they face adversity to come out the other side. Parts of the story had me laughing outloud and others brought a lump to my throat. Plenty of suspense to go with the romance. A great read. Thank you
Wow that was absolutely I great story. I love have Dino finally opened up his heart to Arianna. I have to tell you since the show down happened at the castle I was on the edge of my site as to when something would happen to Arianna but man when they did come after her she held her on. Grey book can't wait for Skittles now.
Absolutely amazing read!!!! I’m a huge fan of Jamie’s books and especially this series! Dino and Arianna’s story was so good!!! Plenty of intense emotions combined with edge of your seat suspense and enough action to keep you totally engrossed until the end!!! Great job!!! Highly recommended

This book seemed to go by really fast as I got absorbed in Arianna and Dominic’s interactions and then relationship with one another. There is hit by hit action and the way that it’s blended in with the plot and romance, and makes it a heart pounding read

Another great book by Jamie Lewis. I have read the six books in the Trident series and I can say they are all fantastic. Dino and Arianna’s had some twists and turns in it for sure. Now on the Skittles story.
I could not put this book down. From the very beginning I was captured and loved the intrigue and suspense. Then throw in the relationship between Dino and Arianna, and I was done for. Loved the storyline and how it flowed. Love this series.
Liked the story. Multiple hold-your-breath parts that kept me turning the pages. Loved this strong, independent, sassy heroine. As the saying goes Men... the bigger they are the harder they fall.
