ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 27, 2023

I am a laid-back wise guy.
A veteran, a friend, a marksman, and a loner.

My name is Honon.
I may be hesitant to pull the trigger, but am not afraid to fire with the right target in my sights.

I am a focused free spirit.
A black sheep, a go-getter, a scrapper, and an artist.

My name is Emme.
I’m single-minded enough to reach my goals, but still moderately flexible when life throws a curveball.

We make a reluctant couple—our hesitation evident—but when innocent lives are endangered, and hard-fought trust is challenged, we discover who we can count on.
Each other.

REVIEW: EDGE OF TRUST is the sixth instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult ARROW’S EDGE MC erotic, MC, romance series focusing on the members of the Arrow’s Edge MC in Durango Colorado. This is Hank ‘Hanon’ Wick, and forty year old, bartender/metalworker Emme Lightfoot’s story line. EDGE OF TRUST can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. The Arrow’s Edge MC is a spin off from the author’s ON CALL series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Emme and Hanon) EDGE OF TRUST follows in the wake of the discovery of a baby behind the Backyard Edge, the Arrow’s Edge MC owned club and bar. A note left for Emme Lightfoot reveals a once-friendly connection but another child is missing, and the mother is found beaten and dead. An attraction between Emme and Hanon finds our couple working together, along with several members of the Arrows Edge MC to raise a child whose mother is no longer around but a series of attacks against our story line heroine brings the past up close and personal, attacks that find Hanon claiming himself to be security and guardian of Emme and her foundling family. As the clues begin to point to previous problem, Emme and Hanon begin to search for the truth with the help of a nine year old boy who has seen too much in his young life. What ensues is the building relationship between Emme and Hanon, and the potential fall-out when a dead woman’s secrets reveal a dark and dangerous past.

The relationship between Emme and Hanon begins as acquaintances. Emme works at the club owned bar, and Hanon has secretly lusted after our story line heroine. Emme is a strong willed, independent woman who struggled to trust, and Hanon is desperate to protect and claim Emme as his own. 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 and familiar secondary and supporting characters: Trunk (Edge of Reason), Lisa and Brick (Edge of Tomorrow) MC president Ouray and his wife FBI Agent Luna, Yuma and LIssie (Edge of Darkness), Brick and Lisa (Edge of Tomorrow) Tse and Sophia (Edge of Fear) Mel and Paco (Edge of Reality) numerous club members MC members Wapi, Kaga and Leah, and law enforcement Chief Benedetti, FBI Damian Gomez, Consultant Keith Blackfoot and Officer Benjamin Conley. We are introduced to dancers, Mandy and Cher and , as well as nine year old Malco. The requisite evil has many faces.

EDGE OF TRUST is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is character driven, intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic, determined and strong.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 5, 2022

Manager for Hart’s Horse Rescue, Lucy Lenoir, finally feels she has a handle on life after having worked hard to leave her old one behind. So hard, there are times she almost forgets what she escaped. Memories which suddenly come flooding back when she catches a glimpse of a familiar horseman in town.

What’s worse, he’s in the company of the unlikely cowboy she’s only just beginning to trust.

High Mountain Tracker, Bo Rivera, tries hard never to repeat his mistakes. A huge one changed the course of his life and made him particularly cautious, especially around women. So much so, he almost passed up on the best thing to ever walk into his life; the compact, blonde ballbuster in need of a gentle hand.

However, the more he learns about her, the more he realizes a soft touch alone won’t keep her demons at bay. Those will need a firmer hand…to keep the gun steady.

•••••

REVIEW: HIGH IMPACT is the fourth instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult HIGH MOUNTAIN TRACKERS romantic suspense series focusing on a group of former US Special Forces soldiers who own and work for High Mountain Trackers in Libby, Montana. This is forty-four year old tracker Bo Rivera, and thirty-eight year old Hart’s Horse Rescue manager Lucy Lenoir’s story line. HIGH IMPACT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucy and Bo) HIGH IMPACT follows in the wake of the rescue of a mother goat and her kids, a rescue that sees Lucy the target of some questionable attacks forcing Bo Rivera to take control, offering his protection to the woman that stars in his fantasies and dreams. When the original owner of the goats is found dead, Lucy becomes the prime suspect, followed by another threat against the animals Lucy so desperately works to foster and protects. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lucy and Bo, and the potential fall-out as the attacks against Lucy begin to play out a familiar scenario.

Lucy Lenoir has a secret past one that she slowly but reluctantly reveals to our story line hero. As Bo Rivera begins to dig into the circumstances of Lucy’s past, Bo himself must come clean with his secrets about the past. The relationship between Bo and Lucy begins acrimoniously but Bo has lusted after Lucy for as long as he can remember but getting past Lucy’s barriers means letting go of his own demons in the dark. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including ranch and High Mountain Trackers owner Jonas Harvey and his wife Alexandra Hart; Fletch Boone and Nella Freling: Jonas’ teammates James Watike, Sully Eckhart and Pippa Freling, as well as Jonas’ father Thomas Harvey, and FBI Agent Wolff. We are introduced to Bo’s mother Zuri. The requisite evil has many faces.

HIGH IMPACT is a story of obsession and ownership; power and control; betrayal and vengeance, love and acceptance, family friendships, and relationships. The fast paced premise is intriguing and entertaining; the characters are spirited and cheeky; the romance is seductive and provocative.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 22, 2022

Victoria “Vic” Paige thought she was firmly back in the saddle since returning to her job as a firefighter after a three-year hiatus. These past twelve months with her new crew at Station 3 have rebuilt her confidence. That is until they are called to a motel fire where she stumbles onto the scene of a murder, which has her shaken to the core. But a pair of calm blue eyes and the deep composed voice of the first detective on the scene restores her equilibrium.

As a recent transplant from the Denver PD to the smaller Durango force, Detective Bill Evans is enjoying the slower pace. So when he is called to a motel fire, he doesn’t expect it to be the first in a series of gruesome murders, bringing back unwelcome memories. The only high point is finding the familiar, beautiful, blond-haired firefighter on the scene. Despite the heavy workload inevitable with a difficult case like this, he’s determined not to let that stroke of good luck go to waste.

However, when the killer turns the investigation personal, Evans finds himself reconnecting with his former partner, Quint Axton, as he scrambles to keep those he cares about safe.

•••••

REVIEW:IGNITING VIC is the eight instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult ON CALL erotic, romantic suspense series, a part of the multi-authored Police and Fire: Operation Alpha series inspired by characters introduced by author Susan Stoker. This is fifty year old, police detective Bill Evans, and forty year old, firefighter Victoria ‘Vic’ Paige’s story. Line. IGNITING VIC can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Vic is Trin’s sister (Watching Trin #7).

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vic and Bill) IGNITING VIC follows the search for a possible serial killer, a copycat case focusing on another killer fifteen years earlier. Detective Bill Evans finds himself investigating the case of a murdered young woman, circumstances similar to a case he closed years before. A violent assault against the victims and subsequent fire forces Bill to look back more than a dozen years, years in which he thought the killer had been found and convicted. Meeting firefighter Victoria Paige brings Bill up close and personal with the woman that will call to his heart but the killer is playing a game, a game involving our story line hero. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Bill and Vic, and the potential fall-out as Bill’s past take aim at our story line couple.

Victoria ‘Vic’ Paige is a forty year old firefighter who moved back to Durango to be closer to her ailing father but Vic never expected to find herself falling for a man whose own life was about to spiral out of control. Not only is a serial killer copying the murders from years before but someone is targeting our story line heroine, someone who is willing to cross the line of no return.

The relationship between Bill and Vic is one of immediate attraction predicated upon life as a first responder. Bill and Vic continue to cross paths but Bill is about to ensure their paths meet for pleasure as well. Vic is determined to not get involved having battled a stalker in the recent past but Bill is willing to accept Vic, protecting our heroine from the person taking aim at the woman he loves. 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 and energetic secondary and supporting characters including the return of Vic’s sister and journalist Trin, her son Tucker and Trin’s boyfriend Bodhi (Watching Trin): detective Jay VanDyken, and coroner Dr. Meredith Carter (Dissecting Meredith 6), detective Jay VanDyken, and coroner Dr. Meredith Carter; forensic tech Dave Krajcek, and firefighter Lance Bruner; FBI Agents Damian Gomez and Jasper Green, and Bill’s daughter Maisy. The requisite evil has many faces.

IGNITING VIC is a story of obsession, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family, relationships, friendships and love. The premise is edgy, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic, determined and mature.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 8, 2022

Not much has gone according to plan for mechanic, Pippa Freling, recently. With lots of bridges burned behind her, she decides to stick close to her sister and give Montana a try.

Things are looking up when she joins a local group of animal activists, buys an auto shop for a steal, and even tries her luck with the opposite sex. But it doesn’t take long before her hopeful new future is derailed once again.
This time permanently.

Maintaining tight control is the stronghold in Sully Eckhart’s life. It served him well during his years in special forces and has kept him out of trouble since. But his self-restraint stretches only so far whenever he finds himself faced with the one woman who has the ability to shake his determination.

High Stakes (High Mountain Trackers 2 ) by Freya Barker-review tour

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 18, 2022.

When her sister, Pippa, goes missing, Nella Freling tells her boss she’s taking time off from her job as a research librarian, hops in her sensible van, and heads south of the border to Montana. However, local police don’t seem too concerned about a missing woman living in her motorhome. So Nella will have to look for Pippa by herself, unless she can convince a highly recommended tracker to help her, but sadly the rude and angry cowboy won’t even listen to her at first.

But Nella can be persuasive.

The first time High Mountain Tracker, Fletch Boone, laid eyes on Nella, her ass was stuck in his grocery cart. The next time was at the ranch; she was wearing mud, head to toe. But when he catches sight of her a third time, hanging off a cliff, he can’t turn his back again. What Nella lacks in survival skills she makes up for in sheer determination. Unfortunately, neither of those is enough protection when bullets start flying.

Fletch has no choice but to jump in before the woman gets herself killed.

And that would be a damn shame.

•••••

REVIEW:HIGH STAKES is the second instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult HIGH MOUNTAIN TRACKERS erotic, romantic suspenses series focusing on a group for former US Special Forces soldiers who own and work for High Mountain Trackers in Montana. This is forty-seven year old Fletch Boone, and forty-three year old researcher Nella Freling’s story line. HIGH STAKES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Fletch and Nella) HIGH STAKES follows the search for missing Canadian hiker Pippa Freling. Nella Freling hasn’t heard from her sister in close to fourteen days, and with the advise of a friend, Nella arrives in Montana only to be greeted by a grumpy former warrior who wants nothing to do with our story line heroine but searching on her own means falling victim to the elements, and Fletch refuses to let another ‘hiker’ go missing on his watch. A sudden storm traps Nella and Fletch in a cave overnight but the discovery of tracks and some blood lead our couple to Nella’s missing but injured sister. As Nella struggles to make sense of what happened and why, our heroine begins an investigation of her own in the hopes of finding her sister’s RV, only to discover that all is not well in Libby, Montana. What ensues is the building relationship between Nella and Fletch, and the potential fall-out as the search for the truth places a target on our heroine’s back.

Fletch Boone doesn’t do relationships, and prefers to work on his own but a feisty woman with more energy than sense throws Fletch for a loop, and our hero knows that to leave Nella to her own devises could blow up in both of their faces. At every turn Nella is defying Fletch, and the local law enforcement, and in doing so finds herself risking her life to take down the people responsible.

The relationship between Fletch and Nella begins acrimoniously. Fletch doesn’t want anything to do with our story line heroine, or searching for a woman who is probably not lost but evidence begins to surface about the possibility of something much more dangerous going on, and Fletch refuses to let Nella go on her own. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include ranch and High Mountain Trackers owner Jonas Harvey and his wife Alexandra Hart; Jonas’ teammates James Watike and his wife Ama, Bo, Sully Eckhart, as well as Jonas’ father Thomas Harvey. We are introduced to Nella’s sister Pippa. The requisite evil has many faces. Pippa and Sully’s story is next in HIGH GROUND.

HIGH STAKES is a story of family and friendships, love and desperation, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and love. The premise is edgy, dramatic and entertaining; the romance is seductive and tender; the characters are sassy, energetic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 21, 2022

An emergency call to pick up an injured stallion on the side of the road sends Alexandra Hart, the new owner of Hart’s Horse Rescue, into action. A recent addition to the area, she is not impressed when the animal’s taciturn owner shows up. With his less-than-stellar disposition, he’s the kind of man she normally avoids at all costs, unfortunately, he owns the ranch just down the road.

However, when the manhunt for a pair of escaped prisoners gets a little too close for comfort, Jonas turns out to be a better neighbor than she expected.

The Alex who shows up at his ranch to help with his prize stud’s recovery is not exactly who Jonas Harvey expected. This is the same bleeding heart he met on the side of the road. Worried she’s not up for the job, he’d prefer to keep a close eye on her but his High Mountain Trackers team gets called in to track down a group of domestic terrorists.

But the slip of a woman proves him wrong. On all fronts. Alex not only charms his horses but him as well, and when trouble comes calling she proves to be a worthy ally to boot.

•••••••••

REVIEW: HIGH MEADOW is the firsts instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult HIGH MOUNTAIN TRACKERS romantic suspense series. This is fifty year old ex-special forces soldier and rancher Jonas Harvey, and horse rescue owner Alexandra Hart’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jonas and Alexandria) HIGH MEADOW follows the building romance and relationship between fifty year old ex-special forces soldier and rancher Jonas Harvey, and horse rescue owner Alexandra Hart. An injured horse finds Alexandra Hart face to face with Jonas Harvey, a man whose first impression leaves something to be desired. Working together in an effort to ensure the recovery of Jonas’ horse, Jonas finds himself drawn to our story line heroine but Jonas and his former Special forces team mates also operate a search and rescue operation in Montana called High Mountain Trackers, and their latest assignment has the team going in search of escaped prisoners, prisoners possibly linked to home grown terrorism. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Jonas and Alex; the search for potential terrorists; the unexpected health concerns of Jonas’ father, and the dangerous mission that hits too close to home.

Alexandra Hart is a widow with a grown son but a woman who is equally capable of running her own business. Where Jonas struggles with the temperament of his own horses, Alex is able to calm the beast including our story line hero. Jonas Harvey served several tours overseas but was never able to completely leave the life behind. Owning and operating a search and rescue business, he and his former teammates are always on call, at a moments notice, and the hunt for a terrorist threatens the well-earned peace of everyone involved.

The relationship between Alex and Jonas begins acrimoniously as first impressions were equally awkward but Jonas quickly realized that his attitude may have been misplaced and directed at the woman with whom he would fall in love.Working side by side meant more time spent together, time where they would eventually fall in love. 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 secondary and supporting characters including Alex’s friend and cook Lucy, and Alex’s son Jackson; veterinarian Dr. Evan; Jonas’ teammates James Watike and his wife Ama, Bo, Sully and Fletch Boone, as well as Jonas’ father Thomas Harvey. Fletch’s story line is next in HIGH STAKES. The requisite evil has many faces.

HIGH MEADOW is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family, friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is intriguing, fascinating and compelling; the romance is seductive and captivating; the characters are energetic, determined, and strong.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 1, 2021

Horsepower and green thumbs meets justice and flip-flops.

I’m a late bloomer.
A geek, an introvert, an enigma, and a watchdog.

My name is Paco.
I’m determined enough to bide my time, yet too clever to pass up on opportunity.

I’m a steadfast rebel.
An outcast, a defender, a hothead, and an eccentric.

My name is Mel.
I’m resolute enough to carve my own way, but not too blind to see a better path.

We are established loners—each limited by the boundaries we set—but when a young boy’s life hangs in the balance, we discover we have more in common than we thought.

The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting character including Mel’s daughter Lindsey, six year old Mason, Lisa and Brick (Edge of Tomorrow) MC president Ouray and his wife FBI Agent Luna, Tse and Sophia (Edge of Fear); numerous club members MC members Wapi, Kaga and Lea, Trunk, Paco, Honon, and law enforcement Detective Ramirez, Detective Yelinek, FBI SAC Agent Damian Gomez. The requisite evil has many faces.

EDGE OF REALITY is a story of power, abuse and control, betrayal and vengeance, friendships, relationships and family. The premise is gritty and honest; the romance is spicy and moving; the characters are sassy, spirited, and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 14, 2021

Freelance journalist and single mom, Katrina (Trin) Paige, has recently returned to her hometown to help her sister care for their elderly father. They’ve barely settled back into Durango’s daily life when her rebellious teenage son gets himself in tumultuous waters. While being rescued by the local fire department, he unwittingly uncovers a decades-old crime hidden underneath the churning rapids of the Animas River.

Once Trin’s life is back on an even keel, her sharp nose for a compelling story starts twitching and she dives headfirst into an investigation of her own. The more she uncovers, the closer she gets to the firefighter who not only pulled her son from the river, but who also seems present everywhere she turns.

Bodhi (Roadkill) Jones doesn’t believe in things like fate, although, he can’t deny the way his life seems to be entwined with the spunky redhead is more than mere coincidence. In fact, he’s been wondering how it is possible she escaped his attention growing up in the same town, even though she is a few years older. Swept up in an unfamiliar current, he finds himself looking for ways to spend time with her and her family.

However, when a murder investigation touches his personal life, it invades Trin’s as well, leaving him scrambling to make sure the woman he’s fast falling for is protected.

••••••••

REVIEW: WATCHING TRIN is the seventh instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult On Call: Police and Fire: Operation Alpha multi-authored erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on side characters first introduced by author Susan Stoker. This is thirty-eight year old firefighter Bodhi ‘Roadkill’ Jones, and forty-two year old, journalist and single mother Katrina ‘Trin’ Paige’s story line. WATCHING TRIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: For fans of Freya Barker, there is a slight cross over with several characters from the author’s ARROW’S EDGE MC series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bodhi and Trin) following several intersecting paths, WATCHING TRIN follows the building romance and relationship between thirty-eight year old firefighter Bodhi ‘Roadkill’ Jones, and forty-two year old, journalist and single mother Katrina ‘Trin’ Paige. With her aging father’s health worsening, forty-two year old, single mother Trin Paige, along with her fourteen year old son Tucker, returns to her home town of Durango Colorado, in an effort to help her sister Victoria, look after their dad. A few days in, Trin’s father go missing, and with the help of local firefighter Bodhi Jones, Trin soon comes to realize the family may have bitten off more than they can chew but things go from bad to worse when her son is injured while rafting, and a body is found in a decades old car, submerged deep in the water. An investigation by Trin begins to a reveal a close connection to several people in town, a connection that may or may not have placed our heroine in the direct line of fire. As Trin’s investigation begins to take a more personal turn for our story line hero, Trin finds herself on the receiving end of more than one threating message, and mysterious accidents. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Bodhi and Trin, and the potential fall-out as the past comes full circle, in an attempt, to reclaim what doesn’t belong.

Trin Paige has been on her own for a very long time but her father’s declining health means moving back to a town she left years before. Along with her fourteen year old son Tucker, Trin finds it difficult to settle after her father’s health worsens, and her bi-racial son struggles to adjust at a new school. Meeting Bodhi Jones stirs something long thought buried and gone but the chaos at home doesn’t leave time for a start up relationship. Bodhi Jones knew immediately that Katrina Paige was someone he wanted to know. Working alongside Trin’s sister Victoria brought Bodhi up close and personal with his future but a future that is threatened by someone from the past.

The relationship between Bodhi and Trin is one of immediate attraction but Trin battles between head and heart knowing that all is not well with her father at home. From the outset, her bi-racial son struggles to fit in, and with it, thoughts of discrimination and racism are not far behind. With Bodhi Jones in her life, Trin begins to adjust to life in Durango but all is not well in the small town where everyone knows everyone else. 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 and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Trin’s son Tucker, her sister/ fire fighter Victoria, and their father Bruce Paige; Bodhi’s parents Nira and Chuck Jones, and his sister Anika; several members of the Durango Fire Department, as well as several members of the Arrow’s Edge MC.

WATCHING TRIN is a story of obsession, betrayal, vengeance and jealousy, family and friendships, mental health, bullying, acceptance and love. The premise is engaging, twisted and edgy; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are spirited and lively.
