ABOUT THE BOOK:Release Date March 4, 2022

Confused, enraged, ruined—that’s how I felt when she left that day, and it took every ounce of strength I had not to go after her.

Our connection was a slow burn.

And it had begun to rage.

Until she blew out of town, with no warning, completely extinguishing the flames.

Now she’s here, standing on the doorstep, holding a piece of me I never knew existed. I should be angry. I should be hurt. But there’s no time for that. Threats have been made, and now it’s up to my team and me to bring down the almost untouchable elite coming after them.

I’ve already lost enough time, and I’ll protect them with my life before I go another day without the now most important parts of my world.

Our fire is stronger than before.

And they’re coming for my family.

But we’ll use it to burn them to the ground.

REVIEW:CONCEAL is the fifth instalment in the contemporary, adult THE VINDICATED erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Addison Jane and KE Osborn. This is dance instructor Molly , and special ops agent Noah’s story line. CONCEAL can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order as many previous events and characters are often referenced, and there is some important information missing about the history between everyone and the group for which they work.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Noah and Molly) with a couple of final chapters from Tanner and Mayor Marks, CONCEAL follows the rebuilding romance and relationship between dance instructor and single mother Molly, and special ops agent Noah. Approximately one year earlier, Molly walked away from the man that she loved, carrying a secret she thought she would never reveal but her life in New York as a dance instructor was about to take disastrous turn when our heroine witnesses something she should have never seen, threatening her life in the process. With a target on her back and her proverbial tail tucked between her legs, Molly goes to Washington DC in search of the one man she is hoping will protect them both. Enter special ops agent Noah, and the man Molly has never stopped loving. As Molly’s secrets rip at our hero’s heart, a dirty politician is about to get away with murder. What ensues is the second chance romance and relationship between Noah and Molly, and the potential fall-out as a man with an agenda sets his sights on our story line heroine.

Noah is a member of SO7, a division of The Agency, and as such, their team does not exist but when trouble follows Molly on her return trip home, Noah and the team begin an investigation of their own, only to discover that political corruption goes all the way to the top. Molly has never stopped loving our story line hero but Molly never wanted to pull Noah away from what he loves. Coming home meant facing all of her demons, and the judgemental attitudes of people she once called family and friends.

The relationship between Molly and Noah is a second chance romance; a rekindling relationship in which Molly’s secrets are about to destroy our story line her. Noah knows that he must step up and take responsibility for what happened in the past but responsibility now includes a family that continues to grow. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including all of Noah’s SO7 teammates-Lily and Kace, Luca and Everly, Axel and Kenzi, team leader Jack, Tanner, and Blair, as well as several members of the Malice MC including club president Ruin, Brix, Jinx and Falcon. We are introduced to New York Mayor Marks, his daughter Harper, and Noah’s brother Chad, their parents Caroline and Tom, and Noah’s ex Annamae.

The world building continues to focus on the camaraderie and friendships between the members of The Agency and SO7. As I have not read the first couple of books in the series, there is some confusion as to the history and backstory of the organization(s) SO7, and The Agency and how the groups are all interconnected. Many authors I have read and continue to read, add a series synopsis, or some backstory in each instalment, especially for new readers who may be lost when jumping onto the bandwagon in the middle of the series. Here’s hoping Addison and KE ease my mind in future instalments 😉

CONCEAL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and mayhem, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic, intriguing, and captivating; the romance is impassioned and seductive; the characters are dynamic, intense and determined.
