Okay time for honesty here… I chose to read Charity Parkerson’s Danger from Within not because the cover drew me in. It actually made me a bit hesitant but after reading Parkerson’s Society of Sinners and Wicked Sinners I could resist the temptation.
As with her other books Parkerson has a way of demanding all you attention and pull you into the world she has created. She has the ability of interlocking her characters in the stories that flows smoothly and doesn’t leave questioning how the characters are connected. She weaves her story in a way that she has a little something for everyone, action, romance, danger suspense and passion.
Her characters are fully developed and gave moments where I could feel their pain and the next double over in laughter. I would most defiantly recommend that anyone who enjoys an escape from reality with a hint of realism and a dose of vivid sexuality that doesn’t detour from the suspense and keeps you guessing until the end read this. Also if you have enjoyed her works by Parkerson, this is a must read as Parkerson continues to grow and nurture her writing talents.

Five stars for the gals/three-and-a-half for the guys.
Well now, this was interesting to say the least. I have read a few books over the years that tie characters together but never anything quite like this.
Charity has done a very interesting feat in combing the lives of all her characters: Avery, Caitlin, Autumn, Jake Lewis, Jackson, Ewin, Catriona, and Dan.
Nothing, I mean nothing appears as it seems. The reader is whisked right into the action with our heroin Caitlin (or one of them) finds herself in a not so appeasing situation. She is the unwiiling guest of Allie and James (her ex-boyfriend). From this moment on, the plot only thickens, thickens, and keeps thickening as more characters become involved with solving why Caitlin was kidnapped and almost unceremoniously eliminated. The reader will enjoy how when each new character is introduced. You find out there is connection, whether it is work, an old acquaintance or family? Yes family. From childhood friends to connections with the Underworld. Military contractors to a distant aspiring newspaper writer. Tell me that doesn't encompass the full spectrum. Tom Clancy might need to check this one out for future ideas.
Who do I think would enjoy this read the most? Women, hands down. No doubt about. Gals like a whole lot of romance with a bit of tension. She excels in this area. Being of the male persuasion, I prefer a bit more action, but hey, I can see where Charity could build a very large following with her description of males who rival the Gods of Greece or Rome. What women wouldn't enjoy sliding their hands over very well sculptured muscles. I chose not to look in the mirror at this time, thank you.
Why three and a half stars? If there would have a little more time spent on the scenes when the bad guys meet their demise and the aftermath, that would have garnished the extra half star. Could be because I might be just a tad jealous of the men she summoned to the pages. Personal problem I know.
So gals, if you are looking for a book that will keep you on the edge or your seat wanting more from the male characters, wait not another minute longer, get a copy with an ample supply of batteries and prepare to have your imagination rocked!

This book takes a different angle to some of the other erotic / romantic fiction by Charity Parkerson. The book follows the stories of four interconnected men and women as they meet under very unusual circumstances, and fall in love. Each story is somehow connected with the U.S. Defense against Homeland Terrorism department and operatives, and in each case the characters find themselves facing dangerous circumstances, and fighting the odds to forge relationships.
The book is exciting in that it is not afraid to confront the realities of life, grief, pregnancy, the sense of betrayal. As with all of the books by this author there are some smoking hot erotic scenes, but this novella takes us further into the world of the characters, allowing us to see how their lives together develop, and how each relationship handles the pressure that arises from the unique situations they find themselves in. Another reviewer has stated that women may find this book more appealing than men, and to an extent I feel that this is the case. I do not believe however, that men should be put off from reading it! Indeed some may find themselves reaching for cooling fans and cold showers afterwards as well.

He has met the love of his life the very eccentric Lena. The problem is that Lena thinks he is a computer programmer and Dan doesn't want to lie, but doesn't know how to fix it.
Catriona Walter is a high school teacher abducted by an ex student, Ewen Maclean. When the kidnapping goes awry and Ewen is killed Catriona finds her life turned upside down.

Danger Undercover by Charity Parkerson is a winding, suspenseful road through the lives of her characters, where no one is who or what they seem to be. As the book opens, readers meet Caitlin, a good woman in a bad situation, with a BFF from hell. As the story continues, Caitlin’s journey takes her to the lives of the other characters, each with their own tale to tell. One by one, the mysterious layers of the story drop, to come full circle in Scotland…where an apparition is waiting. Or is he?
Parkerson’s characters are good-hearted, romantic, sexy and funny as they strive to reach their goals and care for each other. Several premises in Danger Undercover will resonate with readers, as characters fall in love, get angry, face their challenges and find ways to move on. And come together. Parkerson’s voice as an author is particularly strong, as she weaves the connections that join them, after allowing readers to see the surface of situations first. Fans will not be disappointed; nor, will new readers.

Sexy men, black ops, and steamy scenes. You can't go wrong. This story starts with Caitlin kidnapped and no idea why something like this has happened to her. This is what sets the ball in motion and as the story unfolds you learn that some of the characters are not who they claim to be. It was great. I can't tell too much without including spoilers so I will just say go get this book!

The Undefeated series takes you on a journey as seen through the lives of four main characters, gorgeously vulnerable and flawed men in their own lives. Author Charity Parkerson has done very well melding all four books into one to bring you the entire Undefeated series. It is deliciously sexy, sweaty and at times heartbreaking and leaves you wanting more.

This review might be spoilery...so you decide if you want to continue readind.Well,I didn't know exactly what to expect from this book,maybe a good story.Instead,I got four great stories.But it didn't feel like it,because they were all very closely linked together.Actually enjoyed reading it.

Loved this!
All four of the stories were interlinked and the characters were related - not necessarily by blood.
Situations were real and it gave me another view of the shadow world that exists.

These stories of romance and relationships between unlikely couples were so beautiful to read. Charity has created very real characters in very real situations, who come together in a way that is quite powerful. In these stories, love conquers all and each story is intertwined with the next. My favourite is definitely “The Assassin” Lena and Dan crack me up and I love that they even make an appearance in some of Charity’s other work.

This is a good boxed set. My favorite was the last book, seemed to be more of a thriller than the other three were. Though to get part of the fourth one you need to have read the other three. Would say the entire set is more of something a woman would go for than a man would. The sex is rather steamy in places, felt like I needed a cold shower every now and then.
