“You have no idea how sexy you are.”

British spy Ethan Barrett was only supposed to be on foreign soil long enough to gather intel on a Houston trafficking ring. But one wrong move lands Ethan in hospital with no memory of who he is, in a small town where he doesn't seem to belong.

Peter Stone is a CIA forensic data specialist. Between his geeky career and the few extra pounds he carries around, his dating experience is zero… until he rescues a mysterious man with a British accent from a car wreck. The chemistry between them feels so real, but Peter can't tell if it's genuine love or smoke and mirrors.

As they fight to figure out who tried to kill Ethan and why, their feelings for each other grow stronger with every passing day. Can they solve the mystery, keep the criminals off their trail, and still find the space between their differences for love?

Welcome to Hidden Creek, Texas, where the heart knows what it wants, and where true love lives happily ever after. Every Men of Hidden Creek novel can be read on its own, but keep an eye out for familiar faces around town! This book contains a nerdy teddy-bear of a virgin, an amnesiac MI6 badass, and one man’s quest to find some damn cheesecake.

REVIEW

My Rating - 4 Stars!


Allied (Men of Hidden Creek) is a big old mystery/romance by Max Hawthorne.

Peter is attracted to the John Doe, who they name Jack, but he has no idea who he is, or what he is. Peter and Jack set off to work together, trying to figure out who Jack is.

Their search leads the to finding Jack's multiple aliases. Is he a spy? A criminal? And why are people trying to kill him?

Peter wants to fight this attraction since Jack could be a bad guy. And Jack is fighting the attraction, not wanting to hurt Peter if he ends up being a bad guy.

This story if full of action, mystery and intrigue. These characters are a whole lot of fun together. And it's great watching Jack/Ethan try to remember more of his past.

Allied is a great contribution to The Men of Hidden Creek series, which is penned by multiple authors. Max Hawthorn does an excellent job of bringing the suspense to Hidden Creek.

Tied Up In Steele by Annabella Stone

Amazon Link

Blurb:

Steele Givens doesn’t do relationships and he knows better than to fall for a man he rescued during a CIA Operation; but then he’s never been a ‘follow the rules’ kinda man. He always swore he’d never drag someone he cared about into a world of danger. But what do you do, when danger stalks him anyway?

Kalon Roberts wanted to move on. He’s done with danger and Black Ops Operators. But when someone is determined to use him to gain his father's cooperation, the man who comes to save him, is the one who broke his heart.

They should have never met. They should never have been in each other's orbits. But now that they are, Steele will take out everything and everyone in his way to make sure that Kalon makes it out alive.

Tied Up In Steele is part of the Delta Force - Team Panther Series. While it can be read as a standalone... to ensure maximum enjoyment, it is best read after Jonah's Compass.

REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!

Tied Up In Steele is the 2nd book in the Delta Force Series by Annabella Stone.

In this book, Steele falls for Kalon, who has escaped capture and is interrogated by Steele. His job will not make it easy for them to be together though. And Steele is willing to sacrifice his happiness to protect Kalon. 

Personally, I love their relationship as it starts. After that, I have a tough time with everything they had to endure. It helps though that the action is fast paced, thus not allowing me to be sad for too long. 

The book contains capturing criminals, interrogation scene, an intense car chase, a crazy partner, captures and rescues, undercover work, and some nice romance. Best of all, it includes the fun men in Steele's Delta Force team. They all add a lot of fun and heart-felt moments to the book.

I really like this book. I have to go back and read book 1 immediately, just to get more of these guys! I enjoy a good romance with big, strong guys. And I love the twists, turns, and mysteries in this book. 

I definitely recommend Tied Up In Steele to anyone who enjoys a good action-packed romance. I know I will be impatiently waiting for Book 3!
