Dirty Secrets
A forbidden night of passion. She's his weakness, but he'll risk it all when it comes to her safety.
Zain Roman had sworn off women. Now a bitter divorcé, he no longer believed in the sanctity of marriage. Zain was only interested in having fun, with no strings attached. He was committed to his job in policing the streets and taking down bad guys as a member of the finest SWAT team in the state.
He loved his team, and when he lost a bet, he was man enough to pay up.
Salon owner Omara Knight knew she was playing with fire. One look at the officer sitting in her chair, and she knew she was intrigued. Omara had no time for a love life. She had a business to run and a son to raise.
Zain was a temptation she should avoid. Her sister warned her about him, but Omara never did as she was told.
There was something about a man in uniform that had her wanting to indulge in the sexy pleasures his eyes promised. One night was all she needed.
At least that's what she tried to tell herself.
Zain sensed Omara was hiding something, and when her past came back for her, he's willing to do everything in his power to keep her safe—even give her his heart, but will it be too late?

OMG, this book was soooo good. I like how Zain and Omara's relationship developed. Absolutely loved all interactions he had with Jason.
Heat level was 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Can't wait for Jordan's book and in case the author reads this, I think a K-9 series would be awesome!!!! 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Great Read
This was a great story. I don't remember reading the other books in the series except for book 1 so I'll have to go back and do a reread.

Love after Abuse
Great Job Ms.Banks! I waited impatiently for this book after reading all the others in this series. And I was not disappointed. I love a great romance book with action and drama. This book had great characters that held my attention. I loved Zain and how he slowly changed from hurt and bitter feelings about relationships and marriage to being All in , with renewed hope of happy marriage. Omara took a lot of abuse from her Ex, who was a terrible father but Jason was a very smart son who could tell a good person from a crazy one. This book deserves way more than 5 ⭐️ but since I can only give it that! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Please continue the series with Jorden’s story. I believe she could handle it!!! I recommend this book to everyone!

I love them
This is probably the most sexy book in this series since the first one. This maybe my favorite in the whole series because the focus was on their growing love. This is the most emotional & intimate one. I've enjoyed the entire series. It's not easy to convey emotional love in books but this one nails it. I also like that their physical relationship started so early on because the format of always dragging it out is becoming redundant & isn't realistic when the attraction is described as intense. This had love, romance, humor & action. Perfect

Zain never thought that after hi divorce he would find love again he thought his love life would be filled with party girls and one night stand, until he met the sassy and fierce Omar a Knight sister of his teammate. It wasn't suppose to turn into love but the heart knows what it wants. They want each other everyone else be damned. Main get to have his love and the kids he always wanted. Ready for Jordan's story.

This was an ok addition to the SWAT series. Truthfully, I expected a more action packed book including the demon lords. since the gang is a recurring storyline in this series , I feel we still haven’t figure out the logistics behind the attacks on the SWAT members. I think the most exciting part of this book is the fact that I know that Jordan is getting sucked down and will be getting her own story.

5 stars
SWAT officer Zain Roman had sworn off women after a bitter divorce. He meets Omara Knight (Jordan's sister) when he loses a bet to cut his hair.
Omara also had a bad breakup with her abusive ex-boyfriend. She wasn't interested in having a relationship. She wanted to run her hair salon business and raise her son. She just wanted one night with Zain.
One night turned into something more.

Excellent read
I loved the whole series and book 7 did not disappoint. I am waiting for Jordan's story. We were never told who abscess texting at the pub - hopefully that is an indication that she will get her own story. Also liked the sound of the Dog unit officer - hint. Overall excellent series

The Best
I can't say enough about the relationship between Omara and Zain. It was so nice how they fit so well together. I really enjoyed this book. Of course my favorite line is still S.W.A.T. let's hunt. Derrick, Omara's ex, was a piece of work. I did wish Omara was a little stronger when it came to dealing with Derrick.

Mmmmmm!
I’ve enjoyed every last one of the books in this series! And Zain didn’t disappoint me! I don’t do spoilers so I’ll just say this…. Sit back and enjoy😉. Enjoy the love, support, camaraderie and family that the SWAT team shares. Enjoy the story of Zain and Omara and Jason. And I’m now looking forward to Jordan’s story🤞🏽🫰🏽

So Good
I love this series. I finally got to read Zain story. After meeting Omora who is Jordan sister he was very attracted to her. Omora was attracted to Zain too. Once they got together it was on and popping. They belong together. Now all I need is to find out who is Jordan mystery man. Hopefully we are getting her story next. Very good book.

All The Feels ❤️
OK, first let me say that I am anxiously awaiting book 8. Rhys has to be Jordan’s secret lover. Having said that, I absolutely loved this book. They were both two people who had horrible exes, yet they were able to find each other, find love and of course incredible sex. Please read this series. It’s amazing.

An excellent addition to the series. Loved Zain and Omara's story. Can't wait for Joedan's book. Although this can be read as a stand alone, I thoroughly recommend you read the previous books in the series starting with 'Dirty Tactics' . The whole series is fantastic, plenty of action and suspense to go along with the romance and passion. Well written with great characters.

ANOTHER HIT!! 👏🏽🔥👏🏽
This is another outstanding book in the Peyton Bands SWAT series. This book hits ALL of the marks: Interesting, mysterious, dramatic, funny, sexy, the good guys vs. the bad guys and most of all friendship, family, loyalty and love.

So good!!!!
The book was a page turner. I couldn't put it down. Love the book from beginning to end. The only thing was I needed Derrick to be hurt a lot more than jail. He needed a bullet.

Only one question, where is the next book? I love this story line , I’m so invested. Each character is well thought out and developed. Hot Heroes with big “guns”.

Great story!
When Zain and Omara meet under funny circumstances, sparks fly between them. She's a single mom and he's a confirmed bachelor; both looking for a casual relationship. Instead, they find they're meant for each other.

Zain and Omar’s
A bet from his co-worker, which he lost led him to find the love of a lifetime! Zain sworn off love and Omara was reluctant to fall in love again after her ex! There one night stand turned into a whirl wind romance! A good read!

Omara snagged Zain, but not all approved!
Why do people think they know more about a person's heart than that person! Why do men decide to step up when a woman finds another? If you cannot be what someone needs, when they need it, then stay out of the way! Find your niche elsewhere!

More like 3.5 stars! The steamy scenes were of course great, but it seemed very insta-love ish and quick plot. But still all around great! It just didn’t hold my attention as much as I would have liked.

Excellent!!!
I am looking forward to hopefully a book 8 with Jordan's story and happy ending. I couldn't put book 7 or 8 down, and spent my second Saturday in a row, blowing off my obligations and burying my nose in these books all day.
They keep you on the edge of your seat!!
