Tickle His Fancy: Trident Security

All around him, Brody Evans’s Trident Security teammates have fallen in love and gotten their happily ever after. Ironically, they’d always thought the charismatic Dominant would be the first one to fall—not the last.

While helping a friend try a new bakery for her wedding cake, he finds himself drooling—not over the delicious confections, but the sweet baker who’d created them. Although she seems immune to his charms, he’s determined to win her over.

The lone survivor of a horrific car accident that claimed the lives of her husband and unborn child, Fancy Maguire’s world was destroyed. Three years later, she’s finally shedding the dark shroud she’d been existing under. When Brody sparks something deep within her she never expected to feel again, will she dare to give love another try?

With a killer on the loose and an unknown vandal targeting Fancy’s business, Brody finds plenty of reasons to keep her close. Can he break through the steel barrier she has wrapped around her heart? Or will he lose her before he can convince her to take a second chance on love?

Absolving His Sins: Trident Security

The huntress has become the hunted, in more ways than one. Jordyn Alvarez works for the United States government—a fact no one in authority will admit. She does Uncle Sam’s dirty work. Some might call her an agent, but few know her real title—assassin.

Trained by one of the best black operatives in the world, she wants nothing more than to add him to the long list of people she’s sent straight to hell; but she doesn’t dare get close to him ever again. If she did, she couldn’t be sure her body wouldn’t betray her once more and she’d wind up in bed with him. But with her cover blown, she may not have a choice.

Who is he? He’s a ghost. A man with one name—Carter.

Double Down & Dirty: Doms of The Covenant

Grayson and Remington Mann—fraternal twins, the CEOs of Black Diamond Records, and Dominants in the BDSM lifestyle who enjoy sharing the same woman.

Abigail Turner—the Mann brothers’ personal secretary and an innocent woman who’s off limits . . . or is she?

Gray and Remi have been craving the woman they see every day at the office, but their strict policy of not dating employees puts a huge crimp in things. That is, until they discover Abigail has a naughty little secret. Now, there’s nothing holding the men back as they set out to show her how they can both love her and she can love them in return.

Come meet the Doms of The Covenant and the submissives who bring them to their knees.

Option Number Three: Trident Security

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas . . . or does it?

Dominant Mitch Sawyer has been lusting after submissive Tori Frejya since she first stepped into the private BDSM club he owns with his cousins. But he’d waited too long to approach her, and she now belongs to someone else, while he watches from afar. When Tori asks him for a favor that involves going to Vegas with her and her Dominant switch, Tyler Ellis, Mitch can’t refuse.

After a night with Tori and Tyler, which goes way out of his comfort zone, Mitch is left confused and unsure for the first time in his life. He now faces three options—but will he have the courage to choose the one he never knew he wanted?

***The Trident Security series contains elements of the BDSM lifestyle, sensual romance, nail-biting suspense, and happily-ever-afters.

Great read

Continuing to reread these books that the author has combined into box sets. It’s as good as when I read them as individual books but they are placed in order and makes it easier to follow. Love the characters and the different romances with the added bonus of mystery and security issues. Highly recommend

Tickle His Fancy Summary:
Brody (Aka Egghead) grew up in Texas and knows how to use his southern charm on the ladies. Except it doesn't seem to work on the bakery owner, Fancy.

Fancy was married to Patrick but he died 3 years ago and it's about time to get back on the dating train. After someone vandelizes her bakery and Brody finds out (since he started to be a regular), he helps install a security system for her.

Brody finally convinces her to go on a date with him. He eventually tells her he is a Dom. When he does, she tells him she and Patrick had been a few weeks into Dom/sub classes when she got pregnant... And then 2 weeks later, Patrick died and so did her baby.

They enter a Dom/sub relationship as their real relationship continues to grow.

While all this is happening, subs keeps getting kidnapped and turn up murdered by someone who whips them with a bullwhip until their whole body is covered in blood. (We don't find the answers to this in this book.)

Brody gets kidnapped by Fancy's brother-in-law. Turns out, her brother-in-law was obsessed with her and even killed his own brother to be with her. He electrocutes Brody until he actually does. But thankfully the team found him just in time to bring him back. (Her brother-in-law was also the one who was vandalizing her bakery.)

Brody of course proposed to Fancy and she says yes.

(In this story is also a retired Navy veteran who is homeless and helped save Brody by witnessing the kidnapping and staying alive from a stab wound long enoiy to report it to police. He also survives! Yay!)

Review:
Loved it! Nice to see some body issues covered in this book. I wish it had been kept up with throughout the book and not just solved with Btody saying she's not allowed to put herself down... But oh well.

That last bonus scenes was also *chefs kiss*! Love a good foursome between Brody, Fancy, Harper, and Marco!

Absolving His Sins Summary:
Jordyn was trained to be a spy/assassin by Carter. They had always had sexual tension and one day, years after they met, they finally had sex. Jordyn ran out on him after because she was nervous about her feelings towards him. And then a day later, she found out he was a Dom. She has many misconceptions about this and decided to hate him because she thought it meant he was abusive towards women, just like her dad had been to her mom.

Carter had no idea why Jordyn hated him. But he was determined to find out why.

After years of Jordyn hating Carter, he came to save her because both of their names had gotten leaked and people were coming after them all.

Carter finally got Jordyn to tell her why she hated him when he brought her to a BDSM club to sleep for the night while in hiding. She refused to go in but once he explained a bit, she went in and started to do some research.

Carter knew she was a sexual submissive, but now he thinks she could be a switch some day.

They eventually are saved after they, along with Trident Security and some other trusted friends, killed the mole that was in Deimos.

Carter eventually collared her and told her his first name...Templeton.

Throughout the book, we also find out more submissives are getting killed by the serial killer in Tampa but they haven't found the Dom yet that's doing it.

We also follow Carter's foster sister and her family. Her son needs a kidney transplant and the only option is his blood father who is the foster father that raped Carter's foster sister. It works out that he is able to donate the kidney and the son lives.

In the epilogue was find out: Ian & Angie are pregnant. Boomer & Kat got married. Marco & Harper got married in a small ceremony. Jenn has the boys for Doug Henderson. Shelby and Parker want to adopt a baby but are having a hard time due to Shelby's past with cancer; so Jordyn is going to use one of her contacts in Argentina to see if she can help them get a baby for adoption.

Review:
I was sucked in this whole book. I really couldn't wait for Carter and Jordyn to get together and to finally find out Carter's first name.

Spice scenes were good!

Also all this build up about the serial killer is killing me (lol get it. Killing me 😂). Can't wait to find out what's going on.

Double Down & Dirty Summary:
Abby is the receptionist for Remi and Gray, twins who are the owners of a record company.

Abby has fantasized about the 2 of them ever since she started in her new position 6 months ago. And little does she know, but they are interested in her too... to be their sub, best friend, wife, etc.

After the boys see a security tape of Abby masturbating in Remy's office while talking to herself about them spanking her, they realize their shy, innocent receptionist isn't what they thought.

The boys take her on a work trip and slowly start to seduce her. Eventually they all fall in love with each other. Even after the boys ex outs them to the media as Doms and Abby their submissive, they defeat Abby's worry about her dad's being upset and the record label, The Covenant, and Abby all sue the singer for defimation of character and breaking her contracts/nondisclosure.

Remi and Gray have Abby move in and collar her.

Review:
I nice novella that is spicy for sure! Who doesn't love some m/f/m!

Option Number Three Summary:
Mitch has always had his eyes on Tori ever since she started at the club, but he was too slow in collaring her. Tyler beat him to it. But when Tori invites Mitch to go with her and Ty to a friend's wedding to be her cousin's date/Dom, he agrees.

After a night of drinking and gambling, the 3 of them end up in a menagé. During the menagé, Mitch ends up fucking Ty while Ty is fucking Tori. The thing is though... Mitch isn't gay or bi. He has to decide if this is what he wants.

Eventually, he decides to go with his heart; Ty and Mitch collar Tori together and Mitch then collars Ty. They are planning on building a house together and will talk about kids and figure out the 3 way marriage thing.

Review:

Spicy! Not going to lie... Menagés like this are hot until it gets to the commitment part for me. I have a hard time with the whole 3 person marriage thing. Idk why I get stuck on that, but I do. But I'm happy they are happy all together!

Excellent Collection

What can I say, I love each and everyone of the books in this collection. It offered us a lot of exciting journey's with many twists and turns. Of course a few people might be getting a punishment for putting themselves in danger.

There is one surprise I didn't see coming and honestly I don't think the character saw it coming either.

Please enjoy.

Until Next Time.... Tabi

Anyone who enjoys these

Third box set for Trident Security. Love the character development and how you see the team in every book and ate able to keep up with what becomes friends in a way. Trident Security is so yummy and of course Carter is part of that. His story is in this book and you don't want to miss it

These stories are simply fantastic stories added to the Trident Security series! Brody and Fancy, Mitch Tyler and Tori are a definite different flavor but just as tasty! If you like sassy subs and Alpha subs this is the perfect series to read!

I don’t believe in explaining the plots to books in my reviews as you have the synopsis and a ton of other reviewers to do that for you. I always like to know honest feedback on books I am considering reading. You will just find my honest opinions below and no spoilers.

Tickle His Fancy
Brody has truly been a favorite character of mine since the first book in this series. I found the approach to this book refreshing. Unlike other “mysteries” in this series, I did not know who the “villain” was from the start. I was a bit shocked by some of the incidents surrounding the resolution…I won’t say more to avoid spoilers. I am still disturbed by some of the violent acts (nothing to do with the sexual scenes, only the criminal behavior) as I was not expecting it based on previous stories.

As far as the steamy sex scenes, I felt there were fewer than other books. I was pleased with the bonus sexy scene. I believe this was the first MFMF scene from the series.

Absolving His Since
I know I am not alone in my interest in the Carter character. When I saw that his story was coming, I was a bit disappointed if I am honest. I liked him swooping in and being a third in some very hot scenes. But I did enjoy the story and getting to know Jordyn. Nice story that kept my interest.

Double Down & Direct
These characters where new to me and it took me some time to figure out how they belonged in this series. Everything seemed to happen quickly, and I felt like I was missing some pieces. It wasn’t one of my favorites, but I appreciate the change of scenery and the introduction of some new characters. Not sure if I bought into the MFM romance of things, but the steamy scenes were fun.

Option Number Three
I was wondering when we would get to know more about Mitch. I felt like he was glossed over in a lot of the other stories. Unlike in Double Down & Direct, I bought into the feelings surrounding this MFM story much more. Again, I felt like things were rushed. I liked the premise so much, I wanted more to the story.

I am enjoying the series. I have learned to just skip over the re-explaining of the Trident compound and how everyone knows everyone. I just remind myself that some of these books were released separately and may have been designed to be read on their own.

I had problems with it

These books of which I've read the 3 volumes seem to be copy cats of the Master and Mercenaries books down to the premise and most of the characters. The story lines are not bad but I was always able to figure out whodunit or the plot line pretty quickly. One of the main things I took issue with was the constant religion of everything that happened in all the previous books. Every single one has a detailed recap or explanation of the characters and what they went through. If you're building a series you should decide if its continuous or a stand alone as it stands as a reader to be reading the same thing over and over in every book is very annoying.
I did become curious about certain characters and ended up reading the three volumes but I can tell you that I skipped pages and still didn't miss anything of the plot.
If you're interested in these books I'd recommend reading Masters and Mercenaries by Lexi Blake

A fantastic collection!

This was a fantastic collection of stories that you definitely won't want to miss! I do wish that the last 2 stories would've been longer, but overall they were all outstanding stories. I would highly recommend that you check out the recommended reading order for all of the series included with this one. They're all absolutely fantastic, and you certainly won't be disappointed.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Crazy

I have decided this is my last book about Trident Security. I didn't finish reading this one. No woman should ever want to wear a collar for any man. These "clubs" exist in today's world I know but, it's very sad . If I met a man that was involved with this kind of club, he would be gone from my life in a heart beat.

Master Mitch finding his peace

Another enjoyable and unexpected section in the collection. Dom’s looking after their subs plus others because the sadistic killer is still at large with no clues, Security heightened, plus a bit of revenge against a bitch who tried to bring down some members, giving their personal secrets away, she got far more than she expected. Great book

Love this series a little with each book.

I’m doing a re-read of this series, in the box sets. It’s easy to fall in love with each of these stories and characters again. I love how they are all finding their HEA, some less conventional than others. However, perfect for who they are. Mitch, Ty, and Tori is one of my favorite stories.

Some I enjoyed more than others, I my liked the earlier books with both the Trident security aspect along with the BDSM but I found the later books were BDSM only which made the reads shorter as well. I still enjoyed the stories just not as much.
