KYLE AND LEAH
The story will involve a group of people who work for Alpha Securities (AS). The agents are a relatively tight-knit group involving many family members, prior military service, and forensic training. The two main characters are Kyle Davenport and Leah Matthews. They are not strangers just working together; they have known each other since they were children. Now, they are both members of Alpha Securities—Kyle, a field agent, and Leah, a forensic scientist.
The story covers the AS agency and its team working on crimes. Someone is targeting them and their agents. One has gone rogue, but he is working on a mystery. Several have avoided each other, only being life-long friends, but that will change.
The story has the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is an action-adventure-turned romance tale with mystery, suspense, secrets, deceit, and more. Kyle has avoided a relationship with Leah since she is his best friend’s sister, but that will change. Together, a small group of agents will work to solve the mystery of who is causing issues with dirty agents and secrets.
I’ll be honest, the book had potential but missed the mark for me. It’s not a bad story, just not a great one. It was easy to put this book down and do other things. I felt the relationship had over-the-top discipline—insert multiple eye rolls. How many times can the same person get kidnapped and escape? Survive life and death situations? Getting disciplined for escaping dangerous men? I wouldn’t say I liked Kyle’s character, and for Leah to be so intelligent, she makes many stupid decisions. Fiction needs a believability factor, no matter the genre, and this one just had me shaking my head at what happens. It was unrealistic, had no natural chemistry, and ended with a segue into another book or a cliffhanger.

I read a lot, all different genres, and love romantic suspense, but rarely do I review books. I'm making an exception for this one. This has to be one of the worst books I've read recently. There is no character development or plot development at all. Honestly I had to double check to make sure I hadn't missed a book or some sort of prequel that would help explain what was going on, but no the poor reader is just dumped in the middle of a mess. The whole book just careened all over the place. It felt the author just made a check list of what ever seems to be popular with readers today and just sprinkled it in whether it made sense or not. Loss of virginity, check, spanking, check, dominant, check, massive terrorist plot for no real reason or explanation, check.
I really hate leaving negative reviews but I really don't understand where all the 4 star reviews came from. Ms. Marks, give your readers some credit for being intelligent and able to follow a plot line

From the very beginning of starting this book I knew I was hooked it’s so good and makes me want to read all of this author books! The main girl character is a very independent woman who is willing to do anything for her job, and especially those she cares about. The main guy character is ready to let his feelings be known and do whatever necessary to keep her safe. This book as so much to offer and enjoy! Mystery, crime ,best friend likes little sister and thank goodness a awesome ending! In my opinion it will definitely keep you guessing and on the edge of your sit I want more lol:).

This suspense filled live story had me gripped very hard. Even though I don't like spanking, it did it's purpose in this book.
If you like stories with agents, tech savvy people and a lot of action and drama mixed with a hot romance, this book is for you!.
