D & L Bounty Hunters Mysteries #3

by Stella Marie Alden

For the record, ladies, if your ex-boyfriend asks you to pilot a plane to Mexico, no questions asked, the answer should be a resounding no.

Even if he holds your cat hostage, think twice before you drive your motorcycle to his biker club. Chances are, he’ll hold a pistol to your head. At this point, you’ll have no choice but to do as told. Then, you could be arrested across the border and have to steal a plane to return home.

More careless behavior could get the attention of a Russian who threatens to blow up Time Square unless you steal a tidy sum of money in an e-wallet for him.

After this, you could be thrown off a yacht and have to swim to shore.

Worst of all, you fiancé might call you a danger magnet because it’s bloody well true.


Join Dash and Landy as they struggle through their next bounty hunting adventure. Beware of hilarious moments, heated scenes, and a nail-biting adventure. As always, no cliffhangers allowed here!

I love this series as much as Suds and Sam not because they are the same but because they are different but bring Stella Marie Alden's humor, world building, chemistry for her characters and her steamy sex scenes. She makes you hate some characters, love some characters and really care what happens to them. She also makes you laugh out loud. Landy is totally the type to help out a friend but never saw what Kade did to her coming, I really liked Kade but that threw me for a loop. He needs his ass kicked, big time. And I love Dash but really did he think that bathroom stunt was going to go over well...she actually handled it much better than he's previously stunts and likely only because what had happened earlier in the book. But really guys, not even a thank you, she saved your butts....suck it up. But I love that he is man enough to cry and finally get is butt back to her and to set her family straight....he totally redeemed himself...sigh....cannot wait for the wedding.

This is the 3rd book in the series however it can be read as a standalone but it would be better if you read their story in its entirety. Dash and Landy are back and so is the adventure. Dash is off to London and Landy has an ex-boyfriend to deal with not to mention the Russian hackers still out there causing trouble. Can they catch the bad guys and figure out their relationship before bombs start going off? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. I liked it.

What can I say - another winner for me. I am loving these two, Dash's interfering Dad and of course the old ladies where they live. While away in England on another 'job' with his dad, Dash's Danger Magnet, Landy gets a phone call from her ex asking if she would fly a plane to Mexico. Feeling obligated to him she says yes and it's the start of a journey that will risk her life not once but twice. But as with all Stella stories - her Adrenaline Junkie comes to the rescue along with the help of his friends, Slate et all. Once again it's the Russian's at the bottom of the problems and they dare to take Moishe as a hostage! Dash is furious and vows revenge. Another great adventure with another happy ending. Love all the characters in these books. Thank you Stella for your imagination and dedication to writing these stories.

Ms. Alden does it again. I love her imagination and how she can thread danger in with a love story while making me laugh at times! Dash is such a great guy that I can’t imagine him not being the bounty Hunter he is and helping people too. Dash and Landry love each other, but Landry has been stubborn about using any of his money even though he is rich as can be. Landry gets herself into another situation with her ex Kade. I hope she learned her lesson this time and feel her debt is paid. Little did she know she was being used by the bad guys to get to Dash. She gets into all kinds of trouble and of course Dash and the gang are there to try and save her. It really gets scary this time and poor Dash is out of his mind. I loved the story and strongly encourage you to read it. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.

Stella Marie Alden brings her fans another madcap romp with Dash, Landy and even a little bit of the Patten Security gang. As always, this book was an enjoyable escape from everyday life.
Landy gets a call from Kade wanting her to fly someone to Mexico and once again, he guilts her into doing something stupid. As expected, things go wrong and Dash races to rescue her. The Russian hacker group Cyber Vonya is involved in this escapade and chaos ensues. Landy keeps trying to help and Dash keeps trying to keep her safe. In the end, it all works itself out with plenty of action and sexy times between Dash and Landy. Hopefully, Landy will finally stop running when Kade calls.

Fantastic!

This book rocks! Dash and Landy are at it again in this latest installment! Chaos abounds as they try one more time to deal with the Russian hackers who are threatening to blow up parts of New York. Landy’s ex, Kade, will start the ball rolling and it’s all downhill from there! There is, as always, lots of danger, good friends, and crazy neighbors that make this book the absolute home run that it is! As always, Suds and his danger magnet Sam, will enter the fray and try to help the two as they navigate their relationship. There will be a bump in the road but family and good friends will make them see that they are better together.

I read an ARC copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.

Slapdash, third in the series has Dash the adrenaline junkie and Landy the other danger magnet scared for each other’s lives and rescuing each other multiple times. The lawn chair brigade, Dash’s dad, Dash’s hackers, Suds and Sam and some of the Patten guys are here to lend a hand with the ex and more Russians. There are laughs and tears involved, hand cuffs, busted balls and threat of dueling cats😂. Trying not to give anything away so I won’t say more, except Read this series!! Waiting for the next story.

I voluntarily read an ARC and leaving my honest opinion!! READ THIS BOOK

[Leslie Whitaker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can not believe these two!! They just get better and better! Dash and Lanita are such a great couple. The things they get into and how they get out of trouble is awesome. I sit down with these books and all the sudden I’m on page 84 and then I am suddenly at the end! These books are so well done, that the pages fly by. The characters are fun and smart and Dash and Lanita have this back and forth that I just love! Like Suds and Sam, but different. Another great read to add to the series!

[Carolyn Spence · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always an enjoyable and funny read with Ms. Alden's books. Dash and Landy, working through their relationship while ensuing "danger magnet disorder". She's reckless, and he's an adrenaline junkie, they have a lot of issues to work out. In the meantime, everything moves at lightning speed in the book and I loved my favorite characters showing up in this chapter. Loads of steam, loads of intensity and loads of laughs. Hilarious, Suds is actually succinct! Iron and magnets, that all you need. Can't wait for more.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Just Keeps Getting Better!

Dash and Landy are at it again with action, laughable moments, and sexy times. With Dash in London helping his Robin Hood like dad and Landy home hearing from her ex Kade that he needs help, what could possible go wrong?? Apparently a lot. I loved every minute of this fast paced story including the appearances by the lawn chair brigade with their shenanigans, Patten Security, and Suds and Sam. It was another amazing book! I can’t wait to see what trouble these two get into next! I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review. Even though I received this for free, I have purchased the ebook copy of this book for my Kindle.

[Debi Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dash and Landy does it again. These two can be hilarious at times and serious the next. In this one we go to London with Dash to help his father. Landy stays behind and gets involved with her ex Kade. Dash and Landy loves each other but neither can give up their occupation. Glad to see that a couple of characters from other books are in it. A definitely must read. Looking forward to seeing what these two get into next.

[Cyndie Tomkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Dash and Landy, they keep you wanting more, and book three of these two is no different. While Dash is gone, Landy get a call from her ex...hmmm how will this turn out??? She is one heck of a danger magnet, mix that with loving to fly and an ex... you are in for a fun ride with this one, plus we get some Suds and Sam as well as Patten security in the mix.

Enjoy!! You absolutely can not go wrong with any book from Stella Marie Alden and this one is no different

[Amanda Marlowe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dash is in London, helping his father, who's a thief, or rather a Ribin Hood. Landy has stayed in New York, she hears from her ex, Kade, the biker, he needs help. She tries to contact Dash but isn't successful. So she goes to help, and all hell let's loose.

Another great adventure from Stella.

[Simone Haeseler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another Dash story, it started with action and did not disappoint. Sam and Suds made appearances also the lawn chair brigade, kade her ex and Slate. His father gets involved and Landy goes undercover. It was a hell of a ride and a lot and I mean a lot of action. All in all, a lot of danger, a lot of funny banter, Good writing.

[Dominique Englebert · Rating 5 out of 5]

Life is full of surprises
And it is becoming too much for Dash. Torn between London and a heist for his father and New York and his personal danger magnet, Dash is running ragged between them. And the Russians are not about to let them live their life.
Plenty of breathtaking action and suspense and even a little heartbreak on the side.

[Lori Zakrzewski · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series just gets better with each book. While fighting the bad guys, Dash and Landy are trying to figure out their relationship. A relationship that includes a Danger Magnet and an Adrenaline Junkie. There's never a dull moment with these two.

[Kim (Chipperbooks) · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the start, everyone hits the ground running and it doesn’t let up. Obstacle after obstacle is thrown at Dash and Landy and it takes wit, danger, desperation and love to conquer. So much excitement. Excellent read!

Laugh, cry bang your head. Landy is a Sam in training, although she is surpassing the master. The new couple have more trials ,ex boyfriends, Russian Hackers, kidnappings, , this book is making a splash.

Landy gets in trouble, and Dash gets involved

Landy gets a message from Kade, her motorcycle friend and former Marine. He needs her to fly a plane to Mexico. She owes him the favor from the last time they were together. Little does she know it's has something to do with the Russians again. She refuses but has no intention of doing what they say, but they put a gun to her head.
In the meantime, Dash is doing a job with his Dad and isn't happy that he had to leave Landy behind.
The misadventures of these two are so funny at times that you wonder how they stay alive. She's a danger magnet without having to try to be. Him and his Dad put themselves in danger to steal from the rich to give to the poor. Dad sometimes works for MI6 on special ops.
The three of them work on a dangerous op, trying to get a special technology wallet that has crypto money. But it only works by the heartbeat of the person it's on. So Landy offers to play the part of a hooker to get close to the Russian millionaire on his yacht in the Mediterranean. Patten Securities, Dash, and his Dad are all on board undercover. They get to the transfer, but the opt goes sideways, and Dash tries to save Landy and throws her overboard.
Dash, Suds, and Slate jump overboard, but they can't find Landy. Dash panics. They kept looking for her, but he thought she drowned. She is still a Marine, and she goes into survival mode. By sunrise, she gets picked up by the Coast Guard and back to Dash and Patten Securities guys. She is so tired and dehydrated that all she wants to do is sleep. Dash helps her to shower and puts her to bed.
He tries to talk some sense into her about putting herself in danger, but she won't listen. He breaks up from her and walks out of her apartment and life.
We have to read this chapter in their lives on how they move forward. Love these two. Hot and steamy or hard-headed.
Love Stella Marie Alden and her fun characters.

[JessRReynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stella Marie Alden really knows how to write a comedic-romantic- suspense, with emphasis on the suspense! I am constantly surprised by her knowledge of everything she writes about, especially with British slang, as Dash has me laughing with his terminology. Landy and Dash's banter is funny and heartwarming but real. I appreciate the struggle they have to give and take in their relationship and enjoy the progression as they mature as a couple. I really enjoy the incorporation of Suds and Sam and seeing their dynamic brought into the conversation as well. I can't wait to see more from everyone, to see if Dash's dad is actually coming around a bit, and look forward to seeing what happens at the holiday season!

You don't need to read all of the Patten Security books/Suds and Sam to enjoy this series, but I definitely recommend it!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lanita and Dash are both very stubborn, determined, caring, and madly in love. But is love enough? This book has some outstanding characters, both good and supportive while others are supreme scum; I loved them all because they added such flavor to this story. Lanita is a shero after all she endured by her commanding officer in the marines. I admire her strength. Dash is a bounty hunter who loves Lanita to the moon and back, by the way is definitely an alpha. I loved how he shamelessly wanted to protect her but that is a bone of contention for Lanita who is fiercely independent. This book brings some dangerous situations to the forefront along with family issues. I adored Dash for putting Lanita’s mother and sister in their place in no uncertain terms for how they treated Lanita. Their love endured and this story handles it beautifully.

I received this book as an ARC from Bookfunnel for my honest voluntary review.

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fantastic book in this series, filled with lots of laughs and lots of danger, you won’t be disappointed! Dash and Landy are on their adventures again! Dash is on a job in London with this father and has warned Landy to stay out of trouble, however being the danger magnet she is, it’s never going to happen. When Landy’s ex-boyfriend calls her asking for help, she knows she owes him however she doesn’t realise how much danger she is getting herself into, and when Dash finds out, things go from bad to worse! A fantastic book that will have you laughing right the way through. The characters are fantastic, so much humour throughout. With lots of drama and action, you definitely won’t be disappointed in this book! Loved it!

[Anne (Izzie) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t know how she does it, but Stella Marie Alden somehow manages to make each book just that bit better than the last - I wish I could give this more than five stars! Dash and Landy are heading for trouble again, Dash is in London helping his Dad, having warned his danger magnet love Landy not to get involved in any trouble - however, when her ex Kade contacts her and asks her to pilot a plane to Mexico she feels she owes him, and things go from bad to worse. I love the way the Author continues bringing in and developing the background cast in each book, bringing in the lawn chair brigade, Suds and Sam etc. This is a great fast paced book, really looking forward to see what will happen next.

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series keeps getting better and better. This is my favorite so far of the Dash series. This story was more put together and more cohesive than the previous two books. It had a good flow from start to finish and was interesting the whole way through. I liked that we got to see a little more of the dynamic of Dash and Landry's relationship and more emotions from Dash. My favorite part was Landry's experience in Mexico, that was exciting and had me on the edge of my seat! During this story she really got a chance to prove herself as the fierce woman she is.
While these stories can be read as a standalone you will get much more enjoyment out of it if you read them in order so you get to know all the secondary characters better.
I would recommend this book (and series) to anyone who loves a little mystery and suspense with their romance.

[Claire RC · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this latest story featuring Dash and Landy. Landy gets herself into trouble without trying, ex boyfriend asks for help, she’s there! Next thing you know she’s asking for an adult diaper! That had me in stitches. Loved the way Dash plays her knight in shining armour, albeit that sometimes, the things he does might be literally be ‘spur of the moment thinking’ (the abandoned at sea springs to mind). Loved how the rest of the Patten crew got involved, Suds, Sam, Slade and as for Dash’s dad, don’t even go there. Great story from a great story teller, very witty, action packed story.

I received an ARC and this is my review.
