ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 12, 2021

Even with a degree in psychology and a keen ability to read people, security specialist Bree Graves can’t seem to get a bead on her boss. There was a time she thought she had him figured out but she’d been wrong. Still, she loves her job with PASS and her team has become her family. However, she doesn’t realize how much she needs them until her latest assignment puts her on the radar of a dangerous stalker.

For Yanis Mazur the safety of his PASS team is paramount. Even if that means sacrificing his personal life. Not only did he spend years building his security firm, but also the shield protecting his emotions. Yet when the one person who could breach his walls goes missing during an assignment he sent her on, he’s willing to risk both his business and his heart to get her back.

A victim of obsession, betrayal, and violence, Bree has no choice but to put her faith in the man who almost broke her.

••••••

REVIEW:LOST AND FOUND is the fourth instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult PASS romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for PASS (Protection and Security Services) in Grand Junction, Colorado. This is forty-six year old, head of PASS Yanis Mazur, and forty-two year old security specialist Bree Graves’ story line. LOST AND FOUND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Yanis and Bree) LOST AND FOUND is a second chance story focusing on forty-six year old, head of PASS Yanis Mazur, and forty-two year old security specialist Bree Graves. Approximately fifteen years earlier life imploded for our story line couple, and Yanis pushed our heroine out of his life. Working side by side meant up close and personal through all of theoir personal and professional ups and downs but Yanis never stopped loving the woman that had stolen his heart. A recent assignment found our heroine in the direct line of fire-an abduction and a case of mistaken identity left Bree recovering at the home of the man who continued to control her heart. As the team at PASS begins to investigate the who, how and why, bodies are discovered, and a connection to local law enforcement, the Mob, and members of the government begin to reveal a long list of secrets and sins throughout the years. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Bree and Yanis, and the potential fall-out as Bree’s would be attacker returns to finish the job.

Yanis Mazur screwed up fifteen years earlier, pushing the only woman he would ever love out of his life but working together meant working with the woman that has stolen his heart, watching from the sidelines as she fell in love and married someone else. Bree Graves never stopped loving our story line hero but her heart was destroyed the day Yanis walked out of her life. Secrets long buried would come to the surface forcing Yanis to look long and hard at what happened and why. When the team at PASS find themselves in the direct line of fire, Yanis has to separate himself from the woman he loves, leaving a vulnerable Bree to protect the people he left behind.

The relationship between Bree and Yanis is one of second chances: a rekindling romance that was destroyed by secrets and lies, grief and guilt. Bree knew Yanis had always been the man who controlled her heart but her secrets could very well destroy the possibility of a happily ever after. 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 many we have met in previous story lines: Jake and Rosie (Hit and Run #1); Dimis and Willa (Life and Limb #2); Hilary and Radar (Lock and Load 3); Kai, Shep and receptionist Lena; Yanis and Dimis’ parents Anna and Max; several local law enforcement, FBI; winery owner Joe Flynn, and mobsters Angelo Sarrazin, and Guiseppe Albero,

LOST AND FOUD is story of family, friendships, betrayal and love. A story of obsession, power, secrets and lies; a tale of second chances and forgiveness. The character driven premise is fast paced, engaging and captivating; the characters are feisty, energetic, and animated; the romance is provocative and intimate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 3, 2021

Ink and sawdust meets brisket and moxie.

I’m a tattooed casualty.
A charmer, a fraud, a skeptic, and a carpenter.

My name is Tse.
I’m cocky enough to believe my own lies, but too oblivious to see the truth is already out there.

I’m a cautious perfectionist.
A sister, a scrapper, a dreamer, and a workhorse.

My name is Sophia.
I’m capable enough to plan ahead, yet too powerless to avoid getting blindsided.

We’re complete opposites—one who plays it safe, the other a thrill-seeker—but when old sins resurface bringing violence to the present, our path forward becomes clear.

REVIEW:EDGE OF FEAR is the fourth instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult ARROW’S EDGE erotic, MC romance series focusing on the men and women of the Arrow’s Edge MC. This is forty-two year old, carpenter and MC member Ben ‘Tse’ De Leon, and thirty-five year old, restaurant manager Sophia Vieira’s story line. EDGE OF FEAR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion. The Arrow’s Edge MC is a spin off from the author’s ON CALL series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the storyline premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sophia and Tse) EDGE OF FEAR follows the building romance and relationship between forty-two year old, carpenter and MC member Ben ‘Tse’ De Leon, and thirty five year old, restaurant manager Sophia Vieira. Sophia Vieira was best friend’s with Brick’s daughter Kelsey but Kelsey’s death found Sophia struggling for a place in the world until the Arrow’s Edge MC offered her the position of manager at the MC own Backyard Edge restaurant, a position that would place Sophia in the direct line of danger. Tse never thought he would find the one person to tame his heart, and meeting Sophie Vieira stirred something deep within our story line her. But all is not well behind the scenes at the Backyard Edge, and our heroine will pay the price for interfering in matters where she doesn’t belong. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Sophia and Tse and the potential fall out as betrayal and vengeance take aim at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Sophia and Tse is one of immediate attraction but someone else is vying for Sophia’s attention. Tse bides his time until he can no longer wait, letting Sophia know she is the woman that calls to his heart but Sophia is a strong, independent woman, letting Tse know she will not put up with his alpha-hero. 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 Yuma and Lissie ( Edge of Darkness), Lisa and Brick (Edge of Tomorrow) MC president Ouray and his wife, and FBI agent Luna; numerous club members MC members Wapi, Kaga and Lea, Trunk, Paco, Honon, Nosh; club kids Elan, Maska, and Ravi; restaurant employees Chris Boone, Bernie, Mandy, Emme; and Sophia’s parents Blossom and Duff; law enforcement Detective Ramirez and Damian Gomez. The requisite evil has many faces including a familiar one for our story line hero.

EDGE OF FEAR is a story of betrayal and vengeance, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is twisted and haunting; the romance is seductive and tender; the sexual attraction is palpable and hot; the characters are animated and edgy. EDGE OF FEAR is another great addition to Freya Barker’s ARROW’S EDGE MC.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 9, 2021

Since taking over the county coroner’s office, Meredith “Doc” Carter has been working hard to gain the respect of both her peers and local authorities. Reporting the circumstances surrounding the death of a loved one is often a thankless part of her job. Still, those are the easier cases. Random body parts turning up are substantially more troublesome, and when the facts don’t line up Meredith reaches out to entomologist, Casey Shea for answers.

Detective Jay VanDyken has admired Doc from the sidelines. His recent promotion comes with the added benefit of dealing directly with the silver-haired forensic pathologist, an opportunity he doesn’t plan on wasting. The discovery of partial remains have Jay and Meredith working closely together, but breaking down the pieces to build their case is not the only challenge. Their developing relationship has its own share of problems.

••••••••

REVIEW:DISSECTING MEREDITH is the sixth instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult ON CALL- Police and Fire: Operation Alpha romantic suspense series, and the latest cross-over story line with the characters introduced by author Susan Stoker. This is detective Jay VanDyken, and coroner Dr. Meredith Carter’s story line. DISSECTING MEREDITH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Fans will recognize the cameo appearance by the author’s Arrow’s Edge MC.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jay and Meredith) DISSECTING MEREDITH follows the building romance and relationship between forty five year old coroner Dr. Meredith Carter, and forty-two year old detective Jay VanDyken. Jay VanDyken has lusted after county coroner Meredith Carter for as long as he can remember but our hero was reluctant to make a move. When a number of frozen and vacuum-sealed body parts are discovered over a short period of time not only the coroner but a forensic pathologist and the FBI are called in to hunt for a possible suspect pushing Meredith and Jay together in an effort to discover the who, how and why. As the body parts begin to amass with a possible link to a series of fatal drug overdoses, Meredith finds herself the target of someone hoping to stop the couple from investigating further. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Meredith and Jay, and the potential fall-out as not only is Meredith targeted but our hero, as well.

Jay VanDyken comes from a large and well-connected political family but our hero walked away without looking back. Never mind that he never wanted to follow the path of his forebearers but a potential scandal is about to fall into VanDyken’s lap, a scandal not of his making. Falling for Meredith was easy, convincing her that she is his own happily ever after may be more difficult than solving the crimes in Durango, Colorado. Meredith Carter never thought she would find someone to love, having loved and lost years before but something about Jay VanDyken called to her heart, and working with Jay meant getting up close and personal with the man with whom she would fall in love.

The relationship between Jay and Meredith begins as a professional relationship that will quickly turn into something more if the number of interruptions would only let them get on with their private time together but the number of body parts begin to increase, and a familiar pattern begin to emerge. 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 Detective Keith Blackfoot (Burning For Autumn 1); fellow pathologist Paul Gibson, and autopsy technician Lauren Mullins; Meredith’s assistant Janey ; funeral home director Rob Wenner; officer Tony Ramirez (Absolving Blue 4); Chief Joe Benedetti (Covering Ollie 2); paramedic Kyle (Sumo) Matsumoto (Revealing Annie 5) ;pastor John Dunwoody; entomologist Casey Shea; loner and alcoholic Tom Ward; several addicts and local riffraff, as well as Meredith’s dog Beau, and Beau’s kitten Belle.

DISSECTING MEREDITH is a twisted story of power and betrayal; relationships, friendships, tragedy and love. The character driven premise is imaginative, inviting and edgy; the romance is seductive and lively; the characters are spirited, dynamic, inspiring and mature. Freya Barker writes intense, decadent, impassioned and suspenseful stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 25, 2021

Juggling two jobs is nothing new for registered nurse, Hillary Glenwood, she’s been doing it for most of her adult life. She has an objective she intends to meet. But, just months before reaching her goal, she witnesses a violent attack outside her apartment that rattles her determination.
However, her carefully controlled life runs completely off the rails when she recognizes the new neighbor coming to the rescue.

As a hacker, Radar Jansen hasn’t always used his expertise in the most respectable ways until he came to work for PASS Security. Normally his time is spent behind a computer, but that doesn’t mean his skills end there.
When—walking his dog one night—he sees a familiar woman rushing into a dangerous situation, his training kicks in.

With Hillary’s safety compromised, the keyboard warrior puts on his real-life armor to shield the woman who is fast becoming his only focus.

••••

REVIEW:LOCK AND LOAD is the third instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult PASS erotic, romantic, suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for PASS (Protection and Security Services) in Grand Junction, Colorado. This is forty-year old security specialist and computer hacker Murray ‘Radar’ Jansen, and thirty-six year old, nurse Hillary Glenwood’s story line. LOCK AND LOAD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Radar and Hillary) LOCK AND LOAD follows the building romance and relationship between forty-year old security specialist and computer hacker Murray ‘Radar’ Jansen, and thirty-six year old, nurse Hillary Glenwood. Hillary Glenwood works two jobs in an effort to pay down her student loans but witnessing a brutal attack against a Grand Junction teacher placed our heroine in the direct line of fire. Enter security specialist Radar Jansen, a man who specializes in computer hacking but a man who lives in the same apartment complex as our story line heroine. Ever the protector, Radar makes it his mission to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love but the team at PASS will endeavor to hunt down the people responsible for the attack at the apartments, as well as a series of similar attacks across the country. What ensues is the building but often fragmented relationship between Radar and Hillary, and the potential fall out as Hillary is targeted for who she is, and what she knows.

Hillary Glenwood is an independent and strong female heroine who isn’t afraid to protect those unable to protect themselves but Hillary is cautious when it comes to her heart, and in this, her head and heart battle over the man with whom she will fall in love. Radar Jansen has seen his fair share of troubles in the past, and if it wasn’t for the intervention of PASS owner Yanis Mazur, Radar would probably be in jail, or something worse.

The relationship between Hillary and Radar is one of immediate attraction wherein Radar becomes both lover and protector of our story line heroine. As the number of similar murders increases across the country, Radar and the team at PASS discover a connection, that places our heroine in potential danger. 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 most of the team at PASS Security: Jake and Rosie (Hit and Run #1); Dimas and Willa (Life and Limb #1): Yanix Mazur, and Bree Graves. We are introduced to Radar’s father Harold Jansen, and his brother Hugh.

LOCK AND LOAD is a story of obsession and power; of betrayal and vengeance; of family, relationships and love. The premise is intriguing and engrossing: the romance is spicy and provocative; the characters are sassy, edgy and inspiring.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 7, 2020

Free-spirited black sheep, Taz Boran, has worked tirelessly as a nurse bringing efficient medical care to Africa for the past eight years. But when her sister Nicky is told she doesn’t have long to live, she immediately flies home to small-town Eminence, Missouri.

Unfortunately, taking care of Nicky means being around her husband, Rafe; the one man Taz could never forget. Rafe is not only her brother-in-law but also took over the family veterinary clinic from her dad.

As Taz becomes Nicky’s home health care nurse—working closely with Rafe to make her sister comfortable—their latent attraction comes sizzling back to the surface. They won’t betray Nicky, but if her dying wish is to see them get the happy ending they always deserved, can they really keep fighting what’s meant to be?

•••••••

REVIEW:BONUS KISSES by Freya Barker is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic, romance story lines focusing on thirty eight year old, nurse Natasha ‘Taz’ Boran, and forty year old, veterinarian Dr. Rafe Thomas.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Taz and Rafe) BONUS KISSES follows the second chance romance and relationship between thirty eight year old, nurse Natasha ‘Taz’ Boran, and forty year old, veterinarian Dr. Rafe Thomas. Ten years earlier sisters Natasha and Veronica aka Nicky fell in love with the same man but Nicky got pregnant, and Taz, refusing to watch her sister move on with the man that she loved, left Eminence Missouri in search of something more, travelling the world, working for Doctors without Borders. Fast forward to present day wherein having never returned home in close to a decade, Taz receives an emergency call from a friend saying her sister does not have long to live. Knowing her life will never be the same, having to face the people she left behind, Taz heads back to Eminence Missouri in an effort to make her sister’s last few days and weeks as comfortable as possible. Enter Dr. Rafe Thomas, the man that Taz has never stopped loving. What ensues is the rekindling romance and relationship between Taz and Rafe, as the couple must contend with the small town gossip, and Taz’s mother’s rejection of their second chance romance, a previous romance very few people knew little about.

Rafe and Taz fell in love ten years earlier but Taz’s sister got pregnant with our hero’s child. Having never stopped loving Natasha Boran, Rafe went through the motions with the mother of his children, motions that felt forced and not real but Nicky did not have long to live, and with it, Rafe had to face to the woman whose heart he destroyed ten years earlier. Natasha ‘Taz’ Boran found herself playing several roles upon her return to Eminence Missouri-aunt, mother, daughter, sister, nurse, lover, friend and the target of small town gossip but with the exception of her sister Nicky, Rafe Thomas, and her best friend Kathleen, no one knew the truth about her previous relationship with Rafe Thomas, a relationship that was now the fodder for her mother’s vitriol and pain.

The relationship between Rafe and Taz is one of second chances. Rafe and Taz have never stopped loving one another but Rafe broke Taz’s heart, and with it destroyed any chance for their own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Taz and Nicky’s parents Ed and Sarah Boran; Rafe’s children Sofie and Spencer; Taz and Nicky’s best friend Kathleen; and several townies who attempt to make Taz’s life miserable.

BONUS KISSES is an emotional and heart breaking story of loss, love and second chances. The premise is tragic yet uplifting; the romance is spirited, sensual and seductive; the characters are energetic and dynamic. BONUS KISSES is a realistic and reflective look at choices and actions.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 21, 2020

Solitude and motor oil meets soul food and wariness

I’m a grease-stained enigma.
A watcher, a protector, an ex-con, and a mechanic.

My name is Brick.
I’m old enough to know good things come to those who wait, and hungry enough to go after what I want.

I am a proud independent.
A nurturer, a cook, a casualty, and a grandparent.

My name is Lisa.
I’m cautious enough to keep my distance, and too wise to let a chance at love pass me by.

We seem unmatched—in race, in history, in lifestyle—but when tragedy leaves a baby in our care and a target on our backs, we discover the strength of family.
Unified.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 2, 2020

They didn’t know each other, but the events of one single day heralded a pivotal change that would alter their lives forever.

Almost two decades spent locked away in a dark, dank cell, Gray Bennet isn’t used to the sun, the sounds, the scents.
It’s overwhelming.

Each year Robin Bishop returns, and while everyone around her is solemn, she lifts her face to the sun and celebrates her freedom.
It’s liberating.

He sees her.
She stands out in the grieving crowd—her head thrown back, her face bright with contentment—like a beacon offering to guide him into the light.

••••••••••

REVIEW:VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE by Freya Barker is a contemporary, adult, erotic, story line- a part of the multi-authored CELL BLOCK C romance series. This is auto mechanic/former inmate Gray Bennet, and bookkeeper/diner waitress Robin Bishop’s story line. VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty-the stories are not connected.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gray and Robin) VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE follows the building relationship between auto mechanic/former inmate Gray Bennet, and bookkeeper/diner waitress Robin Bishop. It’s been eighteen years since Gray Bennet was a free man but he never expected to catch the eye of a beautiful woman at the 9/11 monument, where he was paying his respects to the sister he lost. Heading home to Beaverton, Michigan to start a new life working for a friend at the local garage, Gray will come face to face with his fantasies, the woman he met in New York, the woman with whom Gray will fall in love. Enter Robin Bishop-bookkeeper and waitress at the local diner. What ensues is the building but trepidatious relationship between Gray and Robin, and the potential fall-out as Gray struggles with demons from his past, and the inability to trust himself around the woman he loves.

Robin Bishop has been a single mom for close to eighteen years and meeting Gray Bennet stirred something deep within our story line heroine. Robin had no idea that Gray had served time but our heroine accepted Gray for who he is, not what he had done but all is not well in the town of Beaverton, and Robin and Gray find themselves caught in the middle between warring forces.

The relationship between Gray and Robin is one of immediate attraction but Gray was in no position to start an affair without first getting his life in order. A job, a place to stay, and re-establishing himself in a town that may or may not have forgiven him for sins of the past found Gray pushing Robin out of his life at every opportunity. It will take a patient woman to understand the demons that threaten to engulf out story line hero, demons that become real with his return to town. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Robin’s mother, as well as her daughter Paige; diner owner Kim, Jason the cook; Frank Hanson, owner of the Dirty Dog, garage owner Jimmy Olson, and several townies who come in and out of the diner.

VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE is a story of abuse, betrayal, retribution and control. A story of love and acceptance; of understanding and moving forward. The character driven premise is real, raw and engaging; the romance is provocative and tender; the characters are edgy, wounded and spirited.
