Amazon Link - Available in KU

After spending his formative years in an abusive home, NICHOLAS WEBSTER has made a pretty good life for himself. He has friends, a lucrative job with Elite Protection Services, and a side gig that lets him help out those escaping the same abusive home situation he left behind. But no matter how many people he helps, he can’t escape the guilt over the one person he didn’t—his step-brother, Cyrus.

CYRUS WHITAKER has spent the last twenty years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, put there by the very person he vowed to protect. On the inside, he’s made strides to better himself so he can have a future on the outside. But just when he thinks there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, he receives a new cellmate—the boy who put him away all those years ago.

In trying to make things right, Webster has triggered a series of events that will ruin both their lives, or worse, end them. Somebody has framed him and sent him to a prison where they hope Cy’s need to get even will get rid of Webster for good. But they don’t know Cyrus or the bond they shared. A bond they still share. But can Webster figure out who’s doing this to them and why before Cyrus is forced to choose between hurting the one person he loves or spending his life in a cage?

ENDANGERED SPECIES is the first book in the Time Served Series and is a spin-off of the Elite Protection Services Series. It contains an HEA and no cliffhangers.




My Rating - 5 Stars!


Endangered Species is a thrilling read by Onley James.  This is the first book in the Time Served series. If the rest of the series is like this, I can't wait!

As a spin off of Elite Protection Series, Webster is now in trouble and lands himself in danger. After finding something he shouldn't have in his research, he finds himself in prison, sharing a cell with his former stepbrother. 

There are many layers to this story, all of which are fascinating. There's the history between the men, which in itself is heart-wrenching, yet beautiful with the way they cared for each other. 

There's the danger in prison, which is present throughout. The guards have it out for Cy, and the fellows prisoners have it out for Webster. Their lives are constantly in danger and they have to be on their guard. 

Their relationship in itself is wonderful. They bonded through their experiences as kids, and they continue to love one another. I love the way their need to keep safe leads them to a sizzling sex life and falling in love. 

Then there's the overall case that Webster butted into. Cy has been wrongly imprisoned for the past 20 years. The case, and all the messy people involved, doesn't make things easy for these two. But you'll love how it all ends.

The writing continues to impress me. This author is absolutely addicting. The characters and their story are amazingly complex.  The author will grab your attention from the start and will take you on one hell of a ride. 

Endangered Species is riveting and needs to be read in one sitting. This Onley James book will keep you turning the pages late into the night. Definitely check this one out the next time you're in the mood for a danger/action/suspense thriller.
