ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 28, 2021
The thrilling and sizzling final installment in the More Than A Threat series.
Can their hope for forever be enough to get them through the final mission?
This was the worst plan ever. Putting her on the front line, smack in the middle of the danger, went against every protective instinct ingrained in Casey Weston. Identifying the human trafficking group, rescuing the victims, and keeping Kate unharmed was potentially too much for even the highly trained team to achieve. One thing was for certain: if they made it out it alive, Casey intended to keep Kate in his life–forever.
What in the heck did Kate sign herself up for? At least this time she had Casey and the others by her side. When the carefully crafted plan imploded into an epic gun battle, Kate found herself in over her head and unable to tell friend from foe. Captured and weak, Kate’s only focus was on survival. Because if she made it through alive, she was determined to never let Casey out of her life ever again.
A threat brought them together; her independence nearly tore them apart. Will their combined hope for a future together be enough for a happy ever after?
More Than a Hope is the third and final book in the More Than a Threat series. This series should be read in order starting with Book 1, More Than a Threat. Please note this series is intended for mature audiences due to foul language, detailed intimate scenes, and violence.

REVIEW:MORE THAN A HOPE is the third and final instalment in Kennedy L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult MORE THAN A THREAT erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on former Special Forces soldier turned body guard Casey Weston, and ER physician Dr. Kate Wheeler. MORE THAN A HOPE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book two MORE THAN A RISK.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
NOTE: If you have not read book one and two, there may be spoilers in my review.
Told from first person perspective (Kate) MORE THAN A HOPE follows Casey Weston and his former Special Forces Rangers (Tyler, Kyle, Anne and James) as they embark on a mission to rescue and recover several woman they believe to have been abducted and sold into sexual slavery. In MORE THAN A RISK Kate discovered the seedier side of businessman Chase Smitson, and attempted a take down, all on her own. With the help of Weston’s team, they effectively stopped Chase’s end of the human trafficking business but plans had already been set into motion, and the gang along with a pushy Dr. Kate Wheeler, with the aid of their government counterparts, set off to Hawaii to put an end to a sexual slave auction. As the team make plans to go in undercover with the assistance of Weston’s brother Ryan, Kate demands to be part of the operation, effectively placing everyone and the man that she loves in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the ongoing relationship between Kate and Weston, and the potential fall-out as suspicion grows regarding the newcomers to sexual slavery.
The relationship between Weston and Kate is erotic and intense but our heroine continues to be TSTL (too stupid to live). Inexperienced in the ways of military missions, search and rescues, and Special Forces heroics, a stubborn and impulsive Kate Wheeler pushes, demands and throws a temper tantrum in an effort to be part of the mission wherein she will become fodder for the sick and depraved. Her self-preservation remains absent but her stupidity grows by the hour-boredom threatens their operation as Kate and Anne go out on their own. Once again, suspending reality is best, as it pertains to allowing a civilian to partake in, and control a mission such as this.
Tyler, Kyle, Anne and James return. The camaraderie between former teammates and friends is fun and frenetic but Anne pulls a fast one, along with our heroine, effectively threatening the success of their current mission. I am hoping the author has plans for further story lines involving the team.
MORE THAN A HOPE is a story of recovery and rescue, take down and destruction, power, desperation, vengeance, love and forever The fast paced premise is intriguing; the romance is intimate; the characters are clever, dynamic, spirited and edgy but our heroine’s recklessness and absurdity are questionable on so many levels. MORE THAN A HOPE, and the More Than a Threat series is captivating and compelling if only you can get past the unreality of some of the situations.

MORE THAN A THREAT
More Than A Threat 1
by Kennedy L Mitchell
Release Date: March 10, 2017
Genre: contemporary, adult, romantic suspense
Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /
Dr. Kate Wheeler is an independent, feisty emergency-medicine doctor with a perfect life, or at least that’s what everyone sees from the outside. Her world is turned upside down when she is forced to allow twenty-four-seven protection, disrupting her independent lifestyle leaving Kate to adjust, or not. She finds herself in unchartered territory as she balances a new love interest at work, never being alone and dodging multiple attempts on her life. If it weren’t for her two best friends by her side the stress would be too much, even for her to handle.
Her newly assigned security detail, Casey Weston, is harsh, dismissive, and overbearing. His sexy, strong body and bad-boy tattoos are just the exterior to this thoughtful man who has secrets of his own. As he works to keep Kate at arm’s length he finds himself equally frustrated and fascinated by this woman who pushes his boundaries. Weston’s rules are intense and focused solely on keeping her alive. But as time goes on, will his better judgment falter?

REVIEW:MORE THAN A THREAT is the first instalment in Kennedy L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult MORE THAN A THREAT romantic suspense series focusing on Dr. Kate Wheeler, and former Special Forces soldier turned security specialist Casey Weston.
Told from first person perspective (Kate Wheeler) MORE THAN A THREAT follows in the aftermath of threats against our story line heroine. Kate’s father is an attorney in Dallas, and his latest case involving the Mexican cartel now finds our heroine in the direct line of fire, if her father does not drop the case. Believing his daughter need protection, Kate’s dad hires a personal bodyguard for Kate, a man who threatens all sorts of proprietary thoughts from our story line heroine. Enter former Special Forces soldier turned security specialist Casey Weston. What ensues is the distant but building relationship between Weston and Kate, and the potential fall-out as their relationship grows closer threatening the safety of everyone involved.
Kate Wheeler doesn’t want protection but our heroine is a little TSTL (too stupid to live) at times placing herself in danger without even knowing. From a possible work-place relationship, to nights out with friends, Kate finds herself on the receiving end of too many threats, threats that are about to push Weston out of her life. Casey Weston doesn’t do relationships but his heart wants something more from our story line heroine. Weston knows that Kate is an assignment, a client but their attraction to one –another is combustible and hot.
The relationship between Kate and Weston begins acrimoniously as Kate believes she is capable of looking after herself but on more than one occasion Kate is anything but prepared for the threats against her life. As Weston tries to keep his distance, the palpable sexual attraction is too hard to ignore. A Christmas vacation in Vail ends with our heroine’s life in the balance, and Weston walks without looking back. The $ex scenes are limited but sensual and passionate.
We are introduced to Kate’s co-workers: Eric and Meagan, both doctors in the ER; new trauma surgeon Dr. Austin Lockwood, as well as Kate’s father, and bodyguard Joe.
MORE THAN A THREAT is a character driven story of vengeance, threats and anger; power and control; family, relationships, friendships and love; desperation, revelations, passion and regret. The premise is dramatic and intense; the characters are energetic and edgy; the slow building romance is sensitive and intimate. MORE THAN A THREAT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

REVIEW:MORE THAN A RISK is the second instalment in Kennedy L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult MORE THAN A THREAT erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on former Special Forces soldier turned body guard Casey Weston, and ER physician Dr. Kate Wheeler. MORE THAN A RISK should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger on book one MORE THAN A THREAT.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
NOTE: If you have not read book one there may be spoilers in my review.
Told from first person perspective (Kate) MORE THAN A RISK picks up immediately after the events of book one wherein our heroine finds herself the victim of a drive-by shooting intended to kill. Kate’s father is a prosecuting attorney trying to take down several members of the Mexican cartel but the fall-out of the shooting pulls Weston out off her life, as our hero struggles with his inability to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. But all is not well in Dallas when Kate discovers some information regarding a human trafficking ring, and sets out to take down the man in charge, all by herself. With Weston’s return to protect the woman he loves, our hero watches from the sidelines as Kate continues to place herself in danger at every turn. What ensue is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Kate and Weston, and the potential fall-out as each are willing to sacrifice themselves to save the other.
The relationship between Kate and Weston struggles in the face of secrets and lies, and Kate’s need to remain independent and free. Dr. Kate Wheeler continues to be TSTL , and her increasing stupidity and lack of self preservation threatens not only her own life but that of the man with whom she will fall in love. You may have to suspend reality as the number of questionable incidences is unbelievable. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense; the sexual attraction is palpable and hot.
We are introduced to Weston’s brother Ryan; Weston’s former Special Forces teammates including Aiden aka Tex, and his fiancée Tracy; Tyler aka Mouse, Kyle, Anne, James Steel; businessman Chase Smitson, and the return fellow physicians Eric, Meagan and Austin.
MORE THAN A RISK is another story of secrets and lies, power and control, struggles and acceptance; family, friendships, relationship and love. The premise is twisted, dramatic and gritty; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and powerful-the camaraderie between the former Special Forces soldiers is real and inviting. MORE THAN A RISK ends on a happily ever after-for now-as the friends make plans for the future, working together as security specialists.

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan’s Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40’s to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.
