Roland Summers wonders if there’s a reason he keeps running into Charlottesville's new medical examiner, Lennox Roswell. First, there was the wedding of his good friend Stonewall Courson and then they participated in a career panel at a local high school; and then again at the grocery store. He soon discovers they are neighbors. What confuses Roland more than anything is his fierce attraction to Lennox.
Lennox Roswell moved to Charlottesville to start a new life after the accidental death of her fiance. She's heard about Roland Summers' tragic loss of his wife years ago but senses the attraction between them. Is it time to move on with her life and convince him to move with his? Can their hearts heal together?
When Lennox discovers that her fiance's death might have been an accident but intentional murder, she starts asking questions. It soon becomes obvious someone doesn't want her to get answers. Can Roland protect Lennox with his life if it comes down to that? He is determined not to let her be another woman lost to him forever.

My thoughts: 📱5% 32:56 Ch. 2 - This is going to be a slow start. 📱24% 2:47:14 Ch. 10 - 🧠 People with peanut allergies rarely have reactions to... 🤫. 🧠 Most eyebrows are darker than... 🤫. They don't use peanut oil for... 🤷🏾♀️. This book took a while to heat up and now that it's on a roll I'm prepared to roll my eyes till the end. 📱35% Ch. 15 4:02: 59 - These side stories are starting to blur. There are so many things to ignore but it's still a good story. My drowsiness is the only reason I'm stopping. 📱66% 7:40:07 Ch. 31 - It's okay. I don't have a problem with the action but I don't see the point of the secondary storyline with the bother it's not connecting, at one point I thought maybe he was the villain but I think he's going to help in the end, I don't need an entire storyline to setup backup in a showdown. I think it's just an excuse for extra sex scenes.
Luckily the mystery thriller was interesting because the romance portion was a repeat of book 2 times 2, I even got the couples confused at one point and didn't realize it was the wrong one until first-time motherhood was mentioned during a sex scene and I had to check the names again. Very generic on the romance side and the story has way too may minor characters to keep up with. You have characters from 2 previous series as well as characters from a future series, plus the supporting characters from this book. Too much.
Recommend to others?: Yes, overall the series is good.
Roland’s book was worth the wait. His and Lennox’s chemistry was off the charts from the get go. Being on the run with their lives just brought them closer together and Lennox became a ride or die chick in 👠.
Throw in the family dynamics with another love story between Frazier and Raylee and that makes the book even sweeter. The ultimate ending that makes this book amazing is with Roland’s friends and their families closing out the story with love and new beginnings.
Congratulations Brenda Jackson’ on another awesome story.
I listened to the audio book and thought the narrator did a good job. It sounded like Raylee might have been from the Islands as narrator gave her a slight lilt to her voice.
This book was much better than book 2. I know the author is a romance writer. Some of the straight romance novels are a bit much for me. I thought adding the action, danger, and suspense made the romance part not be so heavy and somewhat cloying. I often find the prose in the romance only books to be a bit exaggerated and saccharine.
After the earlier Westmoreland books, the Grangers, Protectors, and this series would be my favorites. I did appreciate getting another couple, Frazier and Raylee in the book. I have to admit when Raylee was telling Frazier her secret, that dragged on for way too long.
Roland and Lennox's story was full of action, danger, and suspense. In their case, the romance was more like icing on the cake (thankfully) instead of all icing.
The premise was still basically the same as it was in most of the books. The playboy hero is reluctant to commit for whatever reason and the heroine is not going to be another one night thing for the hero to discard.
I still have some difficulty keeping up with the characters in the book. It seems like all of the couples from some of the previous series are mentioned. I am never sure if some of the events discussed happened in other books or are only being mentioned in this book. I am not a big re-reader, so I will never know for sure.
I loved all of the tech gadgets. That was the best part of book 2 as well. The good part didn't arrive until almost the end of the book in that one. This book was almost the perfect blend for me.
Roland Summers is someone I always wanted to see find love and have a positive relationship with his brother Frazier! I may as well also admit my idea of a perfect woman for Roland was the sexy ME Dr. Roswell! Getting from my desires for them to the actual outcome of this story was at times heart stopping because of the danger that plagued the good Dr. and her now bodyguard yes, you guessed it Roland. Mrs. Jackson wove a tale of suspense and danger reminiscent to what Bane and Crystal endured in the novel Bane or what happened to Sir Drake and Tori In The Midnight Hour or Trevor and Corinthians in Fire and Desire or finally Margo and Striker in Forged in Desire! Suffice it to say I was on the edge of my seat from the moment Dr. Roswell learned some startling news about her late fiance' death to the final showdown with the bad guy!!!!! Mrs. Jackson, you have once again given us, your readers an award winning story of love, intrigue, betrayal and finally peace between your main characters!!!! I totally enjoyed Roland and Lennox's story very much!!!!! I am looking forward to Frazier and Rylee's story soon I hope!!!!
Wow!!! This story is a triple threat: Romance, Intrigue and Mayhem! I don’t know how she does it, but Brenda Jackson just keeps writing stories that get better and better. Roland Summers, Dr. Lennox Frazier Connelly and Rylee Danville are the major players in this multilayered story. If you recall, Roland and Frazier are half-siblings with a difficult past. Well, in this book, all is forgiven and the brothers are in a good space. Everybody is in this story. From all the Grangers to The Protectors (and their growing families) to the Men of Action and their wives. Now, if none of that resonates with you, you are missing out on some great stories written by the inimitable, Brenda Jackson, If you are looking for action, suspense, murder, plots, explosions, steamy love-making, romantic moments, and bad guys running amok, this is the book! There is no dead space in this book. It’s a page-turner, fans. I guarantee you will love it.
Entertaining, suspesive, wild need to pick up reading ...
Been reading Ms Jackson's books from 1990s Entertainment with suspense and gratitude to the Creator in the fabric of her work ... Grammar and story telling with thought provoking passion for live and living enraptured you with humour at the oddest occasions ... From your kitchen to a beach ( not far fetch... the possibilities) Want to read on each individual's self awareness of self love and worthiness to then include partnership of value. Thanks for the read Ms Jackson ... Look forward to your next game plan of personalities and my reading escape
Roland and Lennox was an amazing love story. Thank you Ms. Jackson for bringing their love story to us. Roland and Lennox were broken due to past loves, but I was sad that Roland felt that opening his heart to another woman was not in the cards for him. Fortunately, Lennox believed in possibilities and didn't give up on love and that was all Roland needed to overcome his lonely heart. I am also glad the good guys finally won. Also, thanks for the added bonus of Frazier and Raylee's love story, just goes to show LOVE can happen to anyone when they lease expect it. Can't wait for the next story line. Who's next?
This story was worth waiting for. I was hoping Roland would get another chance at love and Mrs. Jackson did not disappoint. This book has action, drama, suspense, and romance. Lennox fiance died a couple of months before their wedding, so she understands the pain of losing a love one. Despite her loss, she is willing to give love another chance. Unfortunately, Roland is determined to punish himself by refusing to love again. His hope to avoid Lennox is not an option. Somebody wants her dead and the FBI keeps placing her life in danger in their efforts to protect her. Roland has no choice but to keep Lennox close, safe and alive.
I really enjoyed reading about Roland and Lennox characters in this 3rd book (Men of Action) series and have read all three. This was a page turner as all of them were. I had to pull myself away to go to bed, lol. I enjoyed the love story and suspense which was why this was a page turner because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I feel another book coming with the new characters introduced near the end, Frazier and Rylee. I recommend to anyone looking for a good book to read this is it and if you haven't read the other books, I recommend those as well. You will not be disappointed.
This is truly a book where the narration can ruin it. I loved the primary story line of Ronald and Lennox. The side story line was interesting also...but it was ruined by the narrator. The male sounded like a fake wanna be gangster, while the woman at some point sounded Caribbean. Then you have the other "Men of Action ...my ears bled when they were in the "scene". I would love to re listen to this with a narrator other than Jamie Lincoln Smith.....OR perhaps, have him do the main characters (which were fine!!) and get someone else for the rest.
I read this story in one day. I could not put it down. I was glad I got the paperback all 448 pages of it. Ronald Summers was a loner. He was captivated by Lennox Roswell who was a Medical Examiner. She also was a loner. Both had people they loved die unexpectedly. Their story was a great story. There are other people who find love also. The special inventions helped them stay alive when the bad guys were after them.
I was waiting for Roland's story. It did not disappoint. Lennox and Roland were so hot. I loved the sizzle between then. The action was top notch. Although Roland had help from others in this adventure I liked that he physically took care everything himself and Lennox wasn't a slouch either. I've got to get me one of Dak's inventions. Frazier and Rylee were a smooth love story and I loved the addition of their love story. Great job as usual Mrs. Brenda.
Action, romantic, mystery, and second chance at love for two people that lost their first loves. Lennox and Roland deserve and needed a second chance. You love Roland fro the Granger series and Lennox from the Protectors.
I also love that Frazier found love with Riley. First love for Frazier and real love for Riley. Nice way to close out this series. Margo’s uncles finding love and lifetime partners.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is the 3rd book in the series and it didn’t disappoint. I have no words to describe this book other than awesome. The plot and characters were very well written and developed. There was drama and plenty of romance. This book was better than the 1st 2, couldn’t put it down. I love this author, she is my favorite. A beautiful ending.
This story will capture you from page one with the stolen glances and having you running for your life before you know it. Ms. Jackson has penned another fabulous storyline that gives you everything you want in a story. Love, denial, intrigue, passion, mystery and the unknown. Lennox and Roland showed us love a 2nd time around
I enjoyed Infinite Possibilities by Mrs Jackson. Thank you for the old and new characters. Nature played a scenic view in this book of man and woman meeting and an enjoyable ending. Mrs Jackson please begin writing about the children of the Madais family,and about the sheriff’s son.( Dare)
I would 100% recommend this book. Its definitely a page turner. Warning: Don't start at night because you will be up all night reading it! It's the innovation, creativity, suspense, drama and romance all together that makes this s excellent read! It reads like a Hollywood.
This was a love story about Dr Lennox Roswell and Roland Summers. Dr Roswell was being targeted by a human trafficking cartel because her former fiancee had damning information. Roland was her bodyguard and successfully guarded and saved her life. They fell in love and that led to their happily ever after.
Loved how the characters from the past are intertwined with current events. Giving a full story about how things workedout for couples in previous books. It was exciting to read how the brothers are now in each other's lives! Reading Soror Jackson's books always provides hope. Thank you!
BRENDA JACKSON HAS WORKED HER MAGIC AGAIN. ROLAND AND LENNOX STORY WAS ALL THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND MORE; FRAZIER AND RYLEE STORY WAS THE BEST AS WELL. I'M KINDA SAD THAT THE PROTECTOR SERIES IS OVER, HOWEVER THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY THAT ALL THE BOOKS ARE WORTH OWNING.
Whew! It took me a while to finish this book, but I did it (life happens). But anywho, Brenda has done it again. In the midst of risking their lives, Lennox and Roland found love and fell in love. I truly admired how Roland protected Lennox and his love for her didn’t fade, even when he thought that he could live without her. Both endured losses, but found love again.
Second time reading this book. First review on Audible. This was not one of my favorites by BJ but was happy Roland and Frazier both finally found love and happiness. Too much craziness going on with killings and trafficking. Just over the top. Narrator for the audio book was not good. He made especially the women sound weird. 3.5 stars overall.
This book was filled with action, friendship, love and so much more. Mrs. Jackson you did it again. It was great catching up with Shep's other sons too. Can't wait to see what's next.
Brenda Jackson you really out did your self with this book. I loved every single chapter. You just keep getting better and better with each story. This is another award winner
This was another great book by Brenda Jackson. Filled with a ton if action and a lot passion between Lennox and Roland and Frazier and Rylee. I loved every minute of this book. I couldn't put it down.
Great book love Roland and Rylee together. Roland fought his feelings for Rylee because he thought his heart was frozen to love. He had so many connections, he was able to keep Rylee safe were ever they traveled.
Roland, and Lennox got it right. Enjoying hearing about some others of your characters that I love. Thanks you throwing Frazier and Rylee in the mix. I thought those girlfriends conversations, too!
Once again the wait was worth it. Brenda Jackson has done it again with a 2 in 1 romance story. She gives it all intense romance danger and excitement along with fun family and friends each and every time!! Love BJ and each and every book she writes!
Brenda brings so much to her characters. Writing is great. Have been reading her books seems like forrever. Had a chance to meet her at a book signing.
I loved Roland and Lennox story. This murder mystery story will have you on the edge of your seat. Will Roland and survive this murder mystery adventure and can they get past their love they had for their deceased loved ones.
