This book had me hooked by 10%. I literally couldn’t put it down because I was so curious as to what would happen between a DEA and innocent, wrongly accused woman. Honestly it’s not often I feel so on the edge of my seat wondering if they’ll be caught.
DEA Special Agent Matt and Juliette are captured by the cartel and escape back to New York. During these trials, they both have to face their fears in different ways. Ultimately growing closer together as their experiences pan out.
This is book 4 in the Empire Blue series, but it is not necessary to read the other 3 to enjoy this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful romance or crime romance. It was like Blue Bloods with romance added! Thank you to the publisher Evernight and author D.C. Stone for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I rarely get a chance to read a good romance with this much suspense and steamy goodness...definitely had all thee above plus some extras.
Juliette Scaglione is just coming back from a Mexican vacation she took with he brother and boyfriend. The part that sucks she's coming back alone without her brother and single because she doesn't have a boyfriend anymore. As she grips her heavy luggage in the busy New York airport she's is stopped by the sexiest man she has ever seen and has no clue why this adonis among men wishes to speak to her in private. Matt Gonzalez is a DEA agent and he just received a tip from his informant that could help with the take down of the cartel. What he didn't expect was the potential suspect looking innocently seductive and that she would get under his skin. The attraction came to a holt when the suitcase in question didn't just carry clothes and as the opinion of innocence for Juliette slowly begin looking very criminal to Matt ...both of their world exploded into chaos.
Fighting for survival against the cartel, nature, and sexual tension Juliette and Matt must work together to get back on US soil.
This book had some brutal torture weaving throughout the story, but necessary as it brought the romance within the plot to come together. The betrayal was just so heartbreaking and just made you want to reach in the story to help fix everything. I was rooting for Jules the whole time and just wanted her to get her HEA immediately after everything she was going through.
The heat between Matt and Jules ...MY GAWD...was just scorching HOT! Plus the way the author slid in that sexual surprise ...like SAY WHAT NOW! This story was worth the emotional rollercoaster I was on reading this ...it was suspenseful as hell. I need to find out more about Matt's brothers because their stories probably will be as good as Matt's. You have to read this book its a 10 out 10 for me

Well this one wasn’t quite what I expected. It’s heavy on the suspense in the romantic suspense genre, and there’s some waiting involved to see the main characters getting up close and personal.
Matt is a DEA operative and is due to pick up some crooks and a shipment of drugs through JFK. He doesn’t expect the drug mule to be an attractive woman called Juliette who seeks to have no idea why she’s been picked up. Within ten minutes of meeting, Matt and Juliette have been kidnapped, and find themselves in adjoining cells in Mexico. It’s a question of how they will make it out alive, and whether they can trust one another.
As I said, a lot of suspense. Totally unbelievable of course - so it depends what you can tolerate with stories like this. I’d you’re looking for something escapist then this might just do it. There’s some near nirvana experiences post-torture experiences that nearly make up for the trauma. The tension between the two main characters is pretty good, but not quite smouldering enough to be all-in convincing. Juliette is a bit wooden and well Matt - that man is just too darn good to be true! A strong sense of family with Matt, balanced against Juliette who is on her own.
I’d be interested to read the previous books in this series ri get a little backstory.
Opposite side of the track
Forced proximity
Protector vibe - alpha male, rescuer
Virgin main character
Childhood trauma

This book has some triggers beware and is full of action! A little bit of heat and strong characters.
What happens when you have been arrested for drug smuggling, kidnapped, running from the cartel, almost dying, and the ex-boyfriend framing you? You do it all with the DEA who arrested you and ended up being by your side through it all!
Oh yeah, don’t forget you both have feelings for the other. Can you make it happen or is it just a fling?.

4.5 stars
This book was so good! This book is very suspenseful and had my heart pounding, waiting for what’s next. This book had forced proximity, virgin mmc, and portrayed the tropes greatly! This book got my attention from the beginning and didn’t let go of it! The only issue I have is some parts of this book seemed very unrealistic. Overall, such a fantastic, suspenseful, romance book! Thank you to Evernight Publishing and Netgalley for sending me this ARC! All opinions are my own.

It's always a good time to pick up a book that has all the elements you enjoy with really good writing. Typically I enjoy dual POV in first person because it feels more genuine, but I hardly noticed that this was in a third person POV because the writing flowed so well with Intimate Escape. Matt and Juliette's story delivered on so many levels, this book had suspense, action, intrigue and all the romance and spice that any genre reader would enjoy this book! At just 250 pages, it's a quick read and a standalone - I had not read the other books in the series before picking up this one but did not feel as if I missed anything (except the immediate desire to add the rest of the books to my never ending TBR!) This book is a must read if you're looking for a quick adventure and romantic suspense!.

Had me from the first chapter!!!
This book grabbed me right from the beginning and did not let go!!! It is an intense, forced proximity romance and it will keep you on the edge of your seats. Matt is a DEA agent and Juliette is a victim of her ex-boyfriend and brother. They are abducted and held by a Mexican cartel and this story is about their existence and their escape to finally their HEA. There are some very dark themes in the book but they are not explicitly written out. We hear about the darkness but don’t experience it as a reader. If this is too much, please heed the trigger warnings.
This isn’t an overly spicy novel, but the scenes in there are HOT!!! The build up between these two characters is intense as they fight for survival with one another.

What happens when a DEA agent falls for a drug smuggler? What happens when the cartel kidnaps both the DEA agent and drug smuggler?

I absolutely loved the concept of this book & found it really unique! I thought the first half of the novel was fast paced, intriguing, and very well-written, but after the halfway mark, I felt like things went a little down hill. I felt like the dialogue became a bit weird and the story was a bit too rushed making things feel off. I also felt like a lot of things were extremely unrealistic, but this is a fictional piece! Overall, this was just an okay read for me.

This book was a complete surprise in a good way.
Matt Gonzalez is a DEA Agent that's gotten a tip about a drug mule flying into JFK. Juliette Scaglione is the suspect and she is stopped by Matt and politely asked if she would mind answering a few questions. Of course, with nothing to hide, she says yes, and this begins her nightmare journey.
During the interrogation, there is a security breach and Matt and Juliette are both kidnapped in New York and wake up in Mexico, as the special guests of the local Cartel. They want answers and they aren't above using nearly any means necessary.
However, the Cartel wasn't as mean as I expected them to be with her and frankly, Matt as well. I won't say they were nice, but they weren't exactly cookie-cutter bad guys, as I expected them to be and frankly, I was okay with that. The captivity timeline is fuzzy to me so I'm not completely sure how long (2 weeks) they were held or why exactly they were both kept alive.
When they see a moment to escape—they take it. The road to freedom is paved with bad people, with bad intentions with the Cartel hot on their trail. They only have themselves and their wits to rely on until they are confronted with yet another life-threatening hurdle to overcome.
I enjoyed this book, but you have to suspend disbelief with some aspects, like—what didn't happen during their captivity, as well as a reveal by the hero that I thought was a joke. I didn't buy it, especially after he'd revealed information about his former dating life. The other issue I had with the book was the complete lack of faith Matt had in Juliette. He was in a constant battle of back and forth in his belief of her innocence. As a DEA Agent, I suspect one must rely on logic and gut instincts and I found Matt's sorely lacking. He didn't ask himself the hard question(s)—if Juliette was to keep him ? Why would the Cartel living conditions? Food for thought!
Despite these issues, I still enjoyed this Romantic Suspense story because it kept me wondering—just how were they going to survive. Recommended: Read It!

This book I found this to be a quick read and a very suspenseful story. Have to remember that it is a story and not look into all of the details. Once you do that you can get into this book. Julia has arrived back in New York from her vacation with her brother and so-called boyfriend. She arrives alone and after receiving a tip Matt and his partner both DEA agents rush to JFK in order to stop her.
After checking her bags and finding the stashed drugs everything goes to s–t the place gets shot up and Matt and Julia end up in Mexico in cells next to each other. After being tortured a day comes when they are able to escape and make their way through the jungle where an Indian tribe that I have actually heard about takes them in. From there the story goes to that they make it back to the U.S. only to have another run-in. The story keeps you going with the suspense and action so overall a good book.

When Juliette is stopped in customs by a sexy man, she finds out that Matt is a DEA agent and is working on information received from his informant.

This was a gritty escape novel and while it held my interest, I think the time they were being held captive and then on the run went on way tooo long. Also, how the heck, did cartel members storm an airport and kidnap an agent and an American woman and get them to Mexico?? That absolutely made no sense to me. Also, that the agents were not around in Mexico looking for them. It was a little too farfetched for me. I also didn't like that the H, after everything they had been through still did not trust the h, not until the very end. Yet, he gave up his v card to her as soon as they were safe enough to do the deed?

A new to me author. This story should come with warnings, I don't know if they are in the paid version, but they are not in the ARC.
Still the story is very good, with amazing characters, good plot development and atmosphere building. Suspense, danger and passion keep you hooked from start to finish and make your heart skip a beat on more than one occasion.
It almost makes me forget about the errors in everything written in Spanish.

Will they learn to trust each other in time?
I love a romance that is both erotic with a good dose of suspense. Matt & Juliette's story sure does deliver. She's just been dumped by her longtime boyfriend & he's a DEA agent trying to find a drug mule. Add in being kidnapped by the cartel & thrown into a Mexican prison, can their lives get any worse?
To survive can they learn to trust each other?.

A new author for me and what a book to start with. This is the 4th book in the Empire blue and I’ve since bought and read the first 3 books. This is an intense, edge of your seat read. If you like suspenseful, fast paced rollercoaster rides then this is for you. Well written and well done.

Wow...this book had surpassed my expectations. It was darker and more intense than expected with the characters being well written. The plot was good and I nearly stayed up all night just to see what happens next. I haven't read the previous books in the series but now I do want to.

This was suspenseful with some cartel, action, unexpected hero and match up between Matt and Juliette. They end up in a situation that draws them close. A different type of cartel read for me but one that kept me engaged.

A book full of action, suspense and romance, very good chemistry between the protagonists, the plot is very well developed in an atmosphere and well built environment. The sexual tension between the characters keeps you expectant, suspense and danger hooked from beginning to end, a constant emotional roller coaster, highly recommended for those who like not only a good romance but a lot of action and suspense.
