Atlanta's Finest #7
Committed
Even when he does good, he’s still bad…
Lazarus “Laz” Dimas made plenty of enemies as an Atlanta police detective. Now that he is a security specialist and married with a family, he does everything by the book…mostly. It’s not until someone threatens his family that he falls back into his old, lethal behavior and resurrects his former mantra: By Any Means Necessary .
Journey has it all—an amazing husband, a rewarding career as an assistant district attorney, and the most adorable baby girl. Yet, she wants more. She wants to be elected Atlanta’s next district attorney.
Laz is always supportive and makes sure she wants for nothing, but not this time. He insists she make a choice: their marriage or the job she desires. It should be an easy decision, but it takes almost losing everything she holds dear before Journey checks her priorities.
And when tragedy threatens to rip her and Laz’s relationship apart, they must fight to keep it together…but is it too late?

Great read

Committed is another terrific addition to The Atlanta's Finest Series. We meet Lazarus and Journey at the beginning of the series, and you quickly realize that a union between them would not be easy. With all the attraction and chemistry between them, they seemed a bit incompatible. Can this couple live in harmony?
Laz is known for pushing boundaries and when it comes to catching the bad guys, it is by any means necessary. He might stay in someone’s hot seat, but he is the one you want at your six. While he has this larger-than-life persona, even he has limits…open fire on him and his daughter and rocky relationship with his wife drives him almost to the brink of insanity.
Journey is that strategic lawyer that you do not want to come up against. It was never her intention to be married to anyone but her job, but…LAZ! I love how the author wrote the conflict between them in and out of the house. It was the perfect opportunity and one of my favorite things in the story to get a behind the scene glimpse of the men and women of Atlanta Finest in full swing and their unbreakable bond.
This has all the feel of romantic suspense, and I was surprised that out of all my suspects, the real culprit did not make my list. All I can say is Love and Money can make people do unusual things.
You should be reading this, get caught up, and stay connected...Parker is next!

Love this strong is shaken and still unbroken!
This is an awesome story that all Sharon C Cooper fans are sure to fall in love with beginning with the Cover!!!!!!!! This continuation of the Laz and Journey story is sure to captivate readers as it did me from the Prologue to the Epilogue. This story showcases the depth of the family hood inherent in the Supreme Security Agency and its owners and specialists! When one member's family comes under attack the whole agency rallies to their side ready to do battle. Hints before this ARC was sent suggested that Laz and Journey may end up apart however the readers will be happy to go through their tough time with them as all couples sometimes go through just remember anything worth having is worth working hard to maintain! Get ready to be taken on a nail biting rollercoaster ride of emotions, danger so real you can almost feel it and a resolution that will have you standing and cheering not just for Laz and Journey but the entire Supreme Agency family. Look out for the many more family members being added with all of the marriages members and their love mates have come together to expand the Supreme family!! Great job Sharon a really, really great job.
This is an honest review of an ARC!!

Sharon C. Cooper always amazes me with her wonderful style of writing, her characters are awesome and romantic suspense is totally fantastic. If you haven’t read a book by Sharon C. Cooper, you have no idea what you’re missing out on. “Atlanta’s Finest” is series that you should start with.
Laz was once a cop but now he is a member of Supreme Security. These guys are super sexy alpha males that will leave you needing a cold shower. Journey is the assistant DA and she wants to be the DA. “Committed” is chalked full of romance, mystery, mayhem, drama, danger, suspense and these characters love hard and will do whatever it takes to keep their family save.
Journey and Laz have come to a bump in the road with both fearing that their marriage is in deep trouble. Someone is after Laz’s family and this one had me stumped.
Another winner for Sharon C. Cooper, pick up your copy today. You will not be disappointed.
Waiting patiently for Parker's suspenseful romantic contribution to the "Atlanta's Finest Series".

Laz and Journey are a great couple but have issues with their relationship. Journey is very dedicated to her job to the point where it is taking priority over her family. She realizes she needs to change when Laz is shot and it took awhile to get in contact with her. If not for Supreme Security's watch they traced her knows how long it would have taken to contact her. journey was devastated and knew she had to put family first. The person responsible for shooting Laz and threatening Journey was a lot closer than they realized. It was great catching up with the members of Supreme Security and their families.
Note: I read a paperback book but a paperback book is not listed as an option in Goodreads.

I had the pleasure of reading the next book in the Atlanta’s Finest series and I give it all five☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️cups of tea.
Laz has been my favorite bad boy from the start. He protects his family by any means necessary especially his wife Journey and his beautiful baby girl, they are his everything. Journey has calmed is bad boy ways a lot but when someone puts out a hit on him and threatens his wife all bets are off.
Laz stops at nothing to find whose responsible for the turmoil they have put his family through.
I love this series by Author Sharon C Cooper. It is full of romance and suspense. I can’t wait for Parker’s book. Great book Sharon C Cooper.

Laz and Journey... marriage takes work and commitment
Sharon C. Cooper does it again. Bringing the action, mystery and power dynamics that just draws you in at hello. Laz and Journey are definitely a couple you root for while understanding the complexities of navigating career, children and spouse. You'll love the vulnerability shown by both parties. You'll smile at the built-in family that is Supreme Security. The law is never black and white and to see it being addressed thru different lens gives you a sense of aww.

Full of suspense
This story pulled you in from the first word. The story was very action packed as well as showed the depth of the love between Laz and Journey. There was issues in the marriage but the love was always present and evident. Totally enjoyed this follow up story on these two. Another great story in this Atlanta Finest series. I totally recommend this story 5 starts all the way.

good follow up
I loved this follow-up story of Laz and Journey. They have always been a feisty couple and this story of theirs is a continuation of that. There is a case that Journey is working on that jeopardizes their family and of course they must solve the case. And they are trying to keep their marriage together too. Great read as usual and can’t wait until the next installment.

Oh My Goodness
Loved it, keep the Atlanta's Finest coming. Some of the lines were repetitive but it didn't take away from the story. So good catching up with characters from the previous books. This book has murder, attempted murder, fraud, bribes, kidnapping and an alpha male that don't take no 🐂 when it comes to his family. If I could give this more 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I would. Kudos to the author👏👏👏👏. Looking forward to the next book.

OMG...I am so glad that I found Sharon Cooper, and her books. For me, this book of the Atlanta's Finest series has been the best one. I wasn't sure who the person who had put the hit on Laz, and was threatening Journey, and when they mentioned Tamar I started thinking could it be.....and yup it turned out to be who I thought it was....now I can't wait for the next book in the series on Parker & Chelsey....and read Kenton's reaction when he finds out....

Grown-up, Sexy, Dangerous
Laz has been my one of my most loved book boo since Ham’s son introduced him. In Committed, we see him still sexy as heck, even more dangerous considering what is at stake, and all grown up…. Committed is what I am to the Atlanta’ Finest Series… Well done Ms Cooper

Very pleased right out the gate. Laz and Journey is my favorite couple of the series. I’ve read their story a few times now. I glad Sharon Cooper gave us a little trouble in paradise. Although their love was strong Journey had to almost loose her family to realize that. Laz being unhappy with Journey taking her family for granted was still her ride or die. Great revisit!!

Love Laz Style
Committed had everything you would want in a story. The author captured you from page 1 and dragged me along for an amazing ride. Journey & Laz had a strong and deep love that got challenged by her career, but in the end proved to be the most valuable asset you can have. Catching up with Atlanta’s Finest was a treat and I can’t wait for Parker’s story.

I enjoyed this romantic suspense book and it was good getting a catch up on this couple. The men of Supreme Security aka Atlanta’s Finest always bring some heat. They are fiercely protective and loyal to their family and friends who have become family. I look forward to seeing what comes next in this series.

I! Love Laz he didn't play about his family, you mess with them and that's your butt and Journey did play either but I was surprised Tony was behind it all . I can't wait for Parker's story and the story about his family.

Action packed
What an action packed story . I loved me some Laz and Journey. Their love was amazing and trying to find out who was trying to kill them was absolutely a great page turner. If you want hot love scenes and a action book, then this is it.
