ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 5, 2022

Veteran player Gage Heyward retired from the league following a successful career. Now the Titans need him, but does he have what it takes to get back on the ice and pull this team together?

After achieving the goals I set for myself, I walked away from my professional hockey career. It was a tough decision, but the right one at the time. When the Titans organization approached me about joining the team they were rebuilding following a devastating plane crash, I felt a passion for the game and a competitive spirit I hadn’t felt in years. The opportunity to make a huge difference to a lot of people spoke to me, and I accepted their offer and headed to Pittsburgh without a second thought.

Jenna Holland is also new to town, having moved from Phoenix to Pittsburgh to take a job with the Titans. Her past has left her with scars—both physical and emotional—and she’s slow to trust others. But the more I learn about Jenna, the more I want to know. The more I need to know. Because the beautiful blonde with honey gold eyes and a wall around her heart has me enamored.

My game on the ice is the best it’s ever been, but it’s my game off the ice I’m focused on these days. Because while Jenna may not be willing to take a chance, I know the potential is there for something big. Something life changing. Now I just need to convince her to take the shot.

•••••

REVIEW: GAGE is the third instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult PITTSBURGH TITANS erotic, hockey, romance series-a spin off from the author’s ARIZONA VENGEANCE series. This is thirty-five year old veteran hockey player Gage Heyward, and media coordinator Jenna Holland’s story line. GAGE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion, as there is an ongoing premise throughout. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of GAGE cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events in STONE. Jenna Holland is the sister of Emory (Jett-Arizona Vengeance #10).

SOME BACKGROUND: Several weeks earlier, a devastating plane crashed claimed the lives of the entire Pittsburgh Titans hockey team including coaches and staff. Rebuilding the team, owner Brienne Norcross, offered positions to one-time professional and semi-pro players, including our story line hero.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jenna and Gage) GAGE follows the building romance and relationship between thirty-five year old veteran hockey player Gage Heyward, and the Pittsburgh Titan’s new media coordinator Jenna Holland. Jenna Holland has been hired as the new media coordinator for the struggling PIttsburgh Titans in the wake of the plane crash that claimed the lives of the entire team but Jenna never expected to meet veteran hockey play Gage Heyward, the man that stirs something deep within our story line heroine.

Jenna Holland has struggled in the years since a devastating fire left her with both emotional and physical scars, scars that she diligently battles to hide on a daily basis. From the outset, Jenna is aware of the looks and whispers but mistakenly places Gage Heyward in the same mix as everyone else.

Gage Heyward had already retired from hockey when he was approached by the Pittsburgh Titans owner Brienne Norcross to help bring the team back into playoff contention. Meeting Jenna Holland, Gage knew immediately Jenna is the woman he is meant to claim as his own but Jenna continues to struggle with issues of low self-esteem, issues that are exacerbated by rude comments and despicable behavior by several people connected to the Pittsburgh Titans team. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Gage and Jenna, and the potential fall-out as Jenna struggles to come out from under the often cruel commentary from other people, and from within her own head.

The relationship between Jenna and Gage is one of immediate attraction but Jenna struggles with the visible scars believing herself unworthy of love. Pushed away by a former boyfriend, Jenna battles to move on from the pain, pain that is fuelled by the rude comments of everyone else. Gage Heyward fell for Jenna from the moment they met but convincing Jenna she was perfect was a tough battle for our story line hero. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to the Pittsburgh Titans roster: new goal coach Baden Oulett, and medical rep Sophie Winters (Baden #1), Stone Dumelin and Harlow Austin (Stone 2), Darius Cermak and his wife Anita, Coen HIghsmith, head coach Matt Keller,and team owner Brienne Norcross, as well as the appearance of Jenna’s sister Emory and her husband Jett (Arizona Vengeance). Coen Highsmith’s story is next.

GAGE is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love; betrayal and acceptance, perseverance and struggle. The premise is emotional and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic.

The Shadow Princess (Chronicles of the Stone Veil 6) by Sawyer Bennett-Review & Excerpt Tour

 

 

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /

My name is Thalia Clairmont and I am heir to the throne of Vyronas. A title that was unknown to me after the love of my life, Bastien Dunne, had me stripped of my memories and sent me through the veil into another dimension. He maintains it was for my protection after my parents were killed and our kingdom was overthrown, but I see it as a betrayal.

Overwhelmed by my feelings of both love and anger for Bastien, I quickly understand that things aren’t what they once were. Vyronas is at war and an evil sorceress has claimed my throne by casting her blood magic to subjugate my people. With my memories returned, I realize Bastien isn’t the man I once loved and has instead become a distant, hardened warrior whose heart is as cold as ice.

My magic alone cannot defeat the blood sorcery, so I delve into the deepest shadows to find a way to regain control of my kingdom. Can I defeat evil without succumbing to the darkness? And will Bastien and I be able to reclaim the love we once shared? I am the Shadow Princess and it’s time for me to reclaim my throne.

••••••••

REVIEW:THE SHADOW PRINCESS is the sixth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s adult CHRONICLES OF THE STONE VEIL erotic, fantasy series. This is twenty-seven year old Princess Thalia Clairmont of Vyronas, and commandant Bastien Dunne’s story line. THE SHADOW PRINCESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from first person (Thalia) and third person (Bastien) THE SHADOW PRINCESS focuses on the return of Princess Thalia Clairmont of Vyronas. Seven years earlier, in an effort to protect the sole heir to the throne, Thalia Clairmont was bespelled, and sent to live in the First Dimension aka Earth aka Wyoming where she would live and flourish, never knowing her true identity or the powers she controlled. Fast forward to present day wherein the Vyronas commandant Bastien Dunne is tasked with retrieving the soon to be queen, Thalia Clairmont, the woman he once loved but a woman who must now rule in the face of death and destruction. Ferelith, an evil sorceress, has been using blood magic, a forbidden form of alchemy, to take control and destroy anyone who opposes her siege but the wielders of blood magic become more powerful with every kill, and Thalia only knows of one person capable of teaching our heroine how to manipulate those powers. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Thalia and Bastien, and the potential fall-out as Ferelith sets her sights on our story line heroine, taking aim at man who controls Thalia’s heart.

Bastien Dunne lost all emotions and feelings the day Thalia was exiled to the First Dimension. Seven years yearning for the woman he once loved, Bastien struggled with Thalia’s return and his inability to move beyond the feelings no longer under his control. Thalia Clairmont’s memories and powers returned upon her arrival in the dimension where she was born but Thalia battled between head and heart believing betrayal was at the center of her exile and banishment. Reuniting with Bastien was made more difficult with Bastien’s less than welcoming attitude and emotions, emotions of which he no longer controlled. An impending war with Ferelith has Thalia searching for help, help that will reveal the truth about who she is, and of what she is capable.

The relationship between Bastien and Thalia is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people who had fallen in love years before but destroyed by a need to protect, preserve and defend. Thalia was still in love with the man that broke her heart, and proving he is worthy meant sacrificing in the face of danger and death. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Bastien’s brother Kieran Dunne; Thalia’s cousin Archer, their uncle Hephastus; several members of the Vyronas’ Conclave including Chief Laina Mercea; demigod Maddox; fallen angel/Dark Fae/leader of the Underworld Amel; and sorceress Ferelith Haramish. I am hoping the author has plans for Kieran, Maddox and Amel.

THE SHADOW PRINCESS is a complex and enchanted story of power and control, death and destruction, magic and the black arts, second chances and love. The premise is detailed, intriguing and dramatic; the characters are spirited and edgy; the romance is intimate and tender.

Code Name: Revenge (Jameson Force Security 9) by Sawyer Bennett-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /Apple/

When Kynan McGrath approached me about joining Jameson Force Security, I jumped at the chance. Just call me Dozer Burney, one half of the genius duo who keeps the team at the forefront of security technology. The move from NASA to Jameson also put me back on the east coast, closer to those who mean the most to me.

Jessica Anderson has been my best friend since college. A single mom who found herself mixed up with a dangerous man years ago, she’s been living a safe, quiet life in Miami after helping police put him behind bars. We both knew her safety, and that of her daughter, was reliant on him staying locked up. So when I see an alert that he’s escaped from his maximum security prison, I know where he’s heading to exact his revenge.

Now it’s a race against time to get to Jessica before he does.

Protecting her with my life is easy, because there’s one thing I’ve never admitted to anyone, not even myself—I have been in love with Jessica Anderson since the day I met her. And if we both make it out alive, I’ll make sure she knows it every day for the rest of our lives.

•••••••

REVIEW:CODE NAME: REVENGE is the ninth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult JAMESON FORCE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Jameson Force Security. This is thirty one year old, single mother Jessica Anderson, and IT specialist James ‘Dozer’ Burney’s story line. CODE NAME; REVENGE 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 (Dozer and Jessica) CODE NAME: REVENGE follows the friends to lovers relationship between single mother Jessica Anderson, and IT specialist James ‘Dozer’ Burney. Dozer, Jessica and Chase met at the University of Miami, and Dozer found himself the proverbial third wheel when Jessica and Chase started dating. A surprise pregnancy found Jessica a single mother but her friendship with Dozer never strayed but a relationship with a member of the Russian Mafia placed Jessica in the direct line of fire when our heroine became an informant against the man she was seeing. Fast forward to present day wherein said Russian has escaped prison, and has set his sights on our story line heroine. Notified of the escape, Dozer calls in the team at Jameson Force Security to protect the woman he has always loved. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Dozer and Jessica, and the potential fall-out as Dozer becomes the bait to draw out the man hoping to take down our story line heroine.

The relationship between Jessica and Dozer is a friends to lovers, friends who have loved one another from afar but never crossing the invisible line between friendship and more. Having watched his university friends brings another life into the world, Dozer never expected to find himself guardian and protector of the woman that called to his heart. 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 several of the Jameson Force Security members: Kynan and Joslyn McGrath, Bebe and Griff, Jackson, Cage, and Malik; new member Kellen McCord, as well as Jessica’s mother Claire; her daughter Thea; Russian mobster Ivan Borovsky, and Dozer’s father James Burney, a man with a questionable connection to underworld crime.

CODE NAME: REVENGE is a story of power and struggle; second chances and acceptance; family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is intriguing and engaging; the characters are dynamic and charismatic; the romance is seductive and fated.

Stone (Pittsburgh Titans 2) by Sawyer Bennett-a review

 

 

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 1, 2022.

Minor league player Stone Dumelin lost his younger brother when the Titans’ team plane went down. He never expected the phone call that followed.

After a shoulder injury put my NHL career on ice, I resigned myself to the fact I’d never see my way out of the minor league again. As my career faded, my estranged brother’s star shot into orbit as the first line left winger for the Pittsburgh Titans. But when the team’s plane crashed returning home one night, his light was snuffed out, and I was given the opportunity of a lifetime.

Now I’m in Pittsburgh, playing for the Titans, and face-to-face with my dead brother’s ghost at every turn. His locker, his legacy, his persistent and annoyingly gorgeous attorney who won’t stop contacting me about his estate, even though I’ve demanded she leave me alone.

Harlow Alston would be extremely appealing if she wasn’t so aggravating. Only…that’s a complete lie. She pushes all the right buttons for me, and as much as I want her to quit pestering me about Brooks’s estate, I find myself intrigued by the fiery redhead who can’t take no for an answer. And the more I learn about Harlow, the more I find she might be the key to understanding who Brooks really was, and who I want to be.

I’ve got a second shot at a career I thought I’d lost and the opportunity to build something real with Harlow, but can I find strength to move forward or will my past dictate my future?

••••••

REVIEW:STONE is the second instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult PITTSBURGH TITANS hockey, romance series-a spin off from the author’s ARIZONA VENGEANCE series. This is left winger Stone Dumelin, and attorney Harlow Alston’s story line. STONE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: If you have not read the author’s Arizona Vengeance series, there may be spoilers in my review. Most of the events of STONE run parallel to, and cross over with the events of book one BADEN.

SOME BACKGROUND: Several weeks earlier, a devastating plane crashed claimed the lives of the entire Pittsburgh Titans hockey team including coaches and staff. Rebuilding the team, owner Brienne Norcross, offered positions to one-time professional and semi-pro players, including our story line hero.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Stone and Harlow) STONE follows the building romance and relationship between left winger Stone Dumelin, and attorney Harlow Alston.

Enter attorney Harlow Alston, and the woman with whom Stone will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Stone and Harlow, and the potential fall-out as Stone struggles with secrets revealed, and his position in the life of Harlow Alston.

Unable to forgive himself or his brother Stone struggles going forward until Harlow reveals some truths, and the special place Stone had always held in his brother’s life. Harlow Alston battles her own demons on a daily basis but the loss of Brooks means more than anyone ever knew. Hoping to ease the suffering of Brooks’ brother Stone, Harlow offers up some friendship and advise, watching from the sidelines in case Stone’s life implodes.

Harlow is a representative for the estate of Brooks Dumelin, and Stone struggles with the demons that continue to drive a wedge between the once tight-knit brothers. As Stone slowly discovers the truth about what happened and why, Harlow becomes his angel and support when things spiral out of control. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 11, 2022

After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.

I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love.

While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there.

Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

••••••

REVIEW:BADEN is the first instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult PITTSBURGH TITANS erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the members of the professional hockey team the Pittsburgh Titans. This is the Pittsburgh Titan’s new goal coach Baden Oulett, and medical rep Sophie Winters’ story line.

NOTE: If you have not read the author’s Arizona Vengeance series, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sophie and Baden) BADEN follows the building romance and relationship between Pittsburgh Titans’ new goalie coach Baden Oulett, and Sophie Winters’. Approximately seven months earlier Sophie Winters, while working in Arizona, was mugged and attacked. Arizona Vengeance goalie Baden Oulett came to her rescue but Baden’s near fatal injuries left our hero unable to play the sport that he loved, and in the ensuing months found himself struggling for a direction in life. When a devastating plane crashed claimed the lives of the entire Pittsburgh Titans hockey team including coaches and staff, Baden was offered the opportunity to restart his career as the Titan’s new goalie coach, a position that would bring him up close and personal with the woman he saved, a woman who continues to suffer in the aftermath of the attack against our story line couple. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Sophie and Baden, and the potential fall-out as Sophie continues to battle the demons from her past, paralyzing our heroine, from moving forward.

Sophie Winters is unable to move on with her life, and with Baden’s new assignment in Pittsburgh, Sophie is reminded of what was and what will never be. Struggling to forgive herself for the horrific injuries suffered by our story line hero, Sophie offers up her home to the man with whom she will fall in love. Baden Oulett had always hoped to return to the ice but never expected to return as the Titans’ goalie coach. A new direction and a new career meant new friendships, including the building romance with our story line heroine.

The relationship between Sophie and Baden begins as acquaintances that have suffered a trauma although one is more physical, and the other emotional. Sophie struggles to move beyond the walls of her home, and Baden battles the physical constraints that will force him to choose a new path towards the future. As our couple ‘s friendship slowly grows into something more, they must face their demons together, in an effort to forgive but never forget. The $ex scenes are intimate, seductive and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to the new players and coaches of the Pittsburgh Titans: Stone Dumelin, Gage Hayward, Coen HIghsmith, future player Drake McGinn, head coach Matt Keller,and team owner Brienne Norcross,Sophie’s best friend Frankie Dillard, as well as the return of several Arizona Vengeance players, and team owner Dominick Carlson. Stone Dumelin’s story is next.

BADEN is a story of family, friendships, relationships and struggle. A story of acceptance and understanding, struggle and moving forward, understanding and love. The premise is engaging, entertaining and captivating; the characters are broken but strong-willed, and determined ;the attraction is palpable, the slow building romance is impassioned, edgy and intense.

Jameson Force Security 8
by Sawyer Bennett
Release Date:December 14, 2021.

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 14, 2021.

Life works in mysterious ways. Jameson Force Security has just received notice of a disavowed CIA agent in need of rescue in Central America. My blood runs cold when I learn that agent is none other than Greer Hathaway—my former fiancée.

Having gone our separate ways more than a decade ago, I still have bitter feelings toward Greer and the demise of our relationship. Those feelings don’t change the fact that I loved her more than anything, so I’m on the next flight out to embark on a rescue mission. Besides, Greer once saved my life, so now it’s time to return the favor and put her firmly in my past.

Face-to-face for the first time since ending our engagement, Greer and I are left with not only anger, unanswered questions and regrets, but also the undeniable chemistry we apparently still have. Will the promise of a new future together be enough, or will the same obstacles tear us apart again?

•••••••

REVIEW:CODE NAME: DISAVOWED is the eighth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult JAMESON FORCE SECURITY romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Jameson Force Security. This is forty-one year old, former CIA agent and current Jameson Force Security agent Ladd McDermott, and CIA agent Greer Hathaway’s story line. CODE NAME: DISAVOWED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.There is a slight cross-over with the author’s Arizona Vengeance series.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Greer and Ladd) CODE NAME: DISAVOWED follows the second chance relationship between forty -one year old, former CIA agent and current Jameson Force Security agent Ladd McDermott, and CIA agent Greer Hathaway. Approximately twelves years earlier CIA agents Ladd McDermott, and Greer Hathaway had their whole lives ahead of them. Engaged to be married, Ladd would soon learn that Greer’s path going forward didn’t match the path he had laid out for their future, and Greer walked away by without looking back. Fast forward to present day, wherein, Greer Hathaway has been taken hostage on her latest assignment in Central America, and the CIA have disavowed the agent and all involvement. Enter Jameson Force Security agent and Greer’s former fiance Ladd McDermott, who volunteers to extricate the woman he once loved. What ensues is the search and rescue of our story line heroine, and the potential fall out as the Central American cartel takes aim at our story line couple.

Greer Hathaway knew she made a mistake twelve years earlier but the man that she loved had moved on with his life, pushing Greer to take assignments that would take her all over the world. Ladd McDermott never thought he would ever again find love but he never got over the woman who broke his heart.

The relationship between Greer and Ladd is one of second chances; a rebuilding romance between two people whose plans for the future went in opposite directions. Never having stopped loving Ladd McDermott, Greer knows she broke his heart but never expected Ladd to have moved on with his life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Several members of the Jameson Force Security return as secondary and supporting characters (Kynan, Dozer, Bebe and Jackson). We are introduced to Ladd’s ten year old son Ethan, and his ex-wife Britney, and Central and South American CIA director Gayla Newman. The requisite evil has many faces.

CODE NAME: DISAVOWED is a story of betrayal and vengeance, friendships and relationships, second chances and love. The premise is intriguing, engaging and captivating; the romance is seductive and emotional; the characters are energetic, determined and secure.

Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world.

As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to.

In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits.

Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot.

Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?

REVIEW:RIGGS is the eleventh instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult ARIZONA VENGEANCE erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the professional hockey team the Arizona Vengeance. This is twenty-eight year old, defenseman Riggs Nadeau, and divorcee Veronica Livingston’s story line. RIGGS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary..

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Riggs and Veronica) RIGGS follows the cautious but caustic relationship between twenty-eight year old, defenseman Riggs Nadeau, and divorcee Veronica Livingston. Riggs Nadeau has sole custody of his seventeen year old half-sister Janelle, and in this Riggs struggles to be present for a young woman whose past is mired in trauma and neglect. When Aaron Wylde’s girlfriend Clarke offers a part time job to Riggs’ sister, all bets are off when Riggs comes face to face with Clarke’s best friend the feisty divorcee Veronica Livingston. From the outset, Riggs is put off by our heroine’s demeanor, including what appears to an over the top arrogance and desperation for money but all is not as it appears to be as Riggs quickly discovers there is more to Veronica’s story than he could have ever imagined. What ensues is the back and forth, frenemies with benefits relationship between Riggs and Veronica, and the potential fall-out as Riggs and Janelle’s past comes barrelling into the present, causing problems for everyone concerned.

Riggs and Janelle struggled in their earlier years but Riggs was lucky with his love for hockey. Having battled between head and heart to leave Janelle behind, Riggs will soon discover that Janelle was not in a good place, and Riggs would have to step up and take over. Veronica Livingston knows the downfall of power, control and loss having lived a life under the thumb of a controlling man. Never wanting to fall in love again, our heroine is reluctant to start something with our story line hero, a man whose outward appearance is cold and dark.

The relationship between Riggs and Veronica begins acrimoniously when an off-handed comment sets our hero on edge. Believing Veronica is nothing but a money-hungry woman, Riggs stops at nothing to ensure Veronica knows he is not interested but Veronica gives as good as she gets, and in this, our heroine is willing to go toe to toe with the man with whom she will fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic 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 many of the previous story line couples. We are reintroduced to former Vengeance goalie Baden Oulett, a man who was left for dead following his rescue of a stranger, as well as Riggs’ half-sister Janelle. Baden’s story line is next.

RIGGS is an emotional story of dysfunction, family, friendships and relationships. The premise is consuming and riveting; the romance is sensual and provocative; the characters are impassioned, determined and a little bit broken.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 7, 2021

I joined Jameson Force Security for three reasons: the missions, the danger, and the money. I definitely didn’t join the team to be an overpriced babysitter for a spoiled princess. Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you Jackson Gale is an adventurer through and through. Yet here I am, halfway across the world, watching over Princess Camille of the House Winterbourne. Even her name sounds stuck up.

After arriving in Bretaria, I realize that Princess Camille is nothing that I expected. Beautiful, smart, and sophisticated, Camille is the very picture of elegance and grace. But under her perfect façade, she is funny, adventurous, sexy as hell, and impossible to resist. And that is a dangerous combination.

The closer Camille and I become, the more obvious it is that while she and I are compatible in many ways, our destinies are not. She has a duty to the monarchy, and I’m just an average American who’s fallen for a princess. Everyone says we can’t be together, but how does one walk away from the other half of their heart?
