Brothers in Arms #3
Big Bad Wolfe
Wolfe “Big Bad” Jarrett loves being a SEAL but is frustrated by the red tape and rigidity of the military, so when former teammate Grady “Buck” McCormick calls from his new protection service Brothers in Arms and asks for help, Wolfe is intrigued. A talent agent has requested a bodyguard for a photographer in New York, and since Wolfe is on a rare holiday leave, he agrees to do the job, just to test the waters of working for Brothers in Arms.
It’s the week before Thanksgiving, and after ruffling all the wrong feathers, investigative reporter Poppy Flannery has been exiled to the wastelands of the Lifestyle section where she’s assigned to write a fluff piece on the floats and balloons in the upcoming Macy’s Thanksgiving parade.
Poppy and Wolfe have history of the semi-romantic and fully-humiliating kind, so when Wolfe shows up with Poppy’s photographer to a parade-related interview, they’re both shocked and angry to see each other again. But after she gets an anonymous call about a bomb threat, then a dead body shows up in her car, Poppy reluctantly accepts Wolfe’s offer of protection.
Wolfe and Poppy, with the help of some of the Brothers in Arms, spend the next few days leading up to Thanksgiving following clues and hunting down domestic terrorists in an effort to save the city from another attack. Somewhere along the way, they put their past to rest, and it becomes apparent that maybe Poppy and the Big Bad Wolfe could have a future, after all.

Wolfe and Poppy
I really enjoyed reading this book. Wolfe Jarrett and Poppy Flannery met in high school. He was Mr. Popular and she was quiet. He did something terrible at their Junior prom that really hurt her. She's still hanging on to her hurt and outrage over a decade later. She is an investigative journalist with a New York newspaper. She is being forced to do a "fluff" piece about the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade to appease her boss. Things take a left turn when Poppy gets too close to things she shouldn't. A threat against her life has Wolfe Jarrett stepping in to protect her. He is a Navy Seal doing a favor for a friend. Will they succeed in putting aside childish hurts to get the HEA they deserve? Get this book and find out what happens. You won't regret it. Sorry, no spoilers. I received this ARC and here is my honest review.

NYC holds strong
The SEALs are together for the holidays but not working for military as it is a suspected terrorism but no proof. A second chance meeting for a high school antic gone wrong and some crazy actions later the story creates a fast paced race to solve the problem before terrorists strike NYC again. The chemistry is there and the story is good. The family additions are great and the thanksgiving dinner is one to remember. The ending was odd and I am confused by parts of it, but still a good read!

Wolfe is a At Seal.
Poppy is a newspaper journalist.
Poppy and Wolfe new each other in high school and the relationship
had some not so good moments. As we all know teenagers sometimes
can be cruel.
Poppy and Wolfe lives intertwine with a lifestyle article on The Macy’s Day Parade, a bodyguard and a terrorist plot.
You will have to read the book to find out what happens, and to see
if Wolfe and Poopy can have a relationship.
This is good story with suspense, intrigue, romance, twists, turns,
drama, emotions and a second chance at love.
Great Job. Margaret Madigan !!!

He now is asked to protect her as she accidentally uncovers a terroristic plot for a Thanksgiving Day parade plus finding a dead body in her car. An intense drama to find the person or persons responsible and the bomb. A very captivating thriller.

Wolfe and Poppy go way back to high school days and ended badly. She is a journalist while he toured the world by the navy.

'Don't dare me sugar....
..you know how I am about dares!'
I love the fire and sass between Wolfe and Poppy, it is sexy, funny, feisty and challenging. This book has a little bit of everything and is fast paced too, this is one of my favourites of the series, a series which is available on Kindle Unlimited, so you have nothing to lose...try it now!
