ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 27, 2023
One night—no names.
Almost seven years later, I can still appreciate the idiocy of that arrangement.
I didn’t plan to fall hard for the much younger woman.
Or obsess over her.
But I never stopped thinking about her.
As a former Army Ranger, giving up isn’t part of my DNA.
So, for years, I’ve been searching—without success.
Hoping to get a second chance.
And suddenly, she’s right before me.
Battered, bruised, scared.
A single mother.
When her boy gets kidnapped, and danger closes in,
it’s a race against time.
And I realize the math checks out.
Protecting them means confronting my demons and her trauma.
But failing is not an option.
Not when all I’ve lost, all I ever longed for, is almost
within reach.
Almost.

REVIEW:SHARP EDGE is the fourth (and final?) instalment in Kat Bammer’s contemporary, adult SECURITY OPERATIONS GROUP BRAVO romantic suspense series. This is single mother/café owner Felicia Cleaver and former Army Ranger , DEA agent Jeremy ‘Edge’ Mulberry’s story line. SHARP EDGE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order. The SECURITY OPERATIONS GROUP BRAVO is a spin off, set in the Moon Lake Protectors series.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers
Told from dual first person perspectives (Felicia and Jeremy) SHARP EDGE follows rekindling relationship between our story line couple. Approximately seven year earlier Felicia Cleaver and Jeremy Mulberry spent one glorious night together but Felicia ghosted Jeremy the next morning, neither one knowing the other’s name. Fast forward to present day, Jeremy Mulberry is in town for work, and comes face to face with his one-night stand, the woman he never forgot, a woman running from an abusive ex but Jeremy’s life is about to come full-circle when he discovers the woman bore his son, a child he knew nothing about. With the Sormiza Cartel closing in, Felicia and her son Bobby become targets, in a game of betrayal and revenge. What ensues is the second chance romance between Jeremy and Felicia, and the potential fall-out as Felicia goes missing, a statistic of a human trafficking ring set up near Moon Lake.
The world building focuses on the group of former Rangers and SEALs who have sworn to protect those unable to protect themselves but Jeremy never expected to come face to face with his past, a past he wants to claim forever.
The relationship between Jeremy and Felicia began as a one-night stand in which neither one knew anything about the other. Seven years would pass before they would come face to face, seven years in which neither one forgot about the other. 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 from both of the aforementioned series- SECURITY OPERATIONS GROUP BRAVO and the Moon Lake Protectors series. There is definite camaraderie and friendships, as well as familiarity between the the characters from both series.
SHARP EDGE is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing, engaging and exciting; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are desperate and dynamic.
