5 stars Sexy, fun, spy adventuring5 stars Anika and Gianni’s story was an absolute thrill to read! It’s “go time” for her first mission. With a senior agent who’s shown more than a professional interest in her. A “zero” in the parlance of U.N.I.T., the counterterrorism agency that recruited her, Anika Washington is determined to excel at her first mission and avoid becoming a “dead zero.” Or, even worse for her, to avoid being kicked out of the agency. Anika wants—no, needs—a place to belong. Growing up in an orphanage has left its scar that she was never good enough to be chosen. She will do whatever it takes to make the agency choose her, keep her. Gianni Brambilla is the gorgeous and enigmatic Level 3 agent who has taken a special interest in her. But his attention, while thrilling, risks breaking the agency rules against emotional entanglements. When another recruit commits a fatal mistake during a mission, Anika is called up to replace her. She teams with Gianni to go undercover at a black-tie gala. Armed with high-tech spy gadgets and quick thinking, the two of them will need to rely on each other to succeed. And survive. This book has previously been published under the title Ready or Dead by Crimson Romance. Read more

He’s everything she didn’t know she wanted. She’s everything he thought he could never have. The last thing I expect when I walk into The Hawkeye Club is to fall head over heels in lust. It’s supposed to be a rescue mission. I have to get my baby sister off the pole, into some clothes, and out of the grasp of the pussy peddler who somehow manipulated her into stripping. But the moment I see Savage Hawke and verbally spar with him, my ability to remain rational flies out the window and my libido takes center stage. I’ve never wanted a relationship—my time is better spent focusing on taking down the scum running this city—but what I want and what I need are apparently two different things. Danika Eriksson storms into my office in her high heels and on her high horse. Her holier-than-thou attitude and accusations should offend me, but instead, I can’t get her out of my head or my heart. Her incomparable drive, take-no-prisoners attitude, and blatant honesty captivate me and hold me prisoner. I should steer clear, but my self-preservation instinct is apparently dead—which is exactly what our relationship will be once she knows everything. It’s only a matter of time. The truth doesn’t always set you free. Sometimes, it just royally screws you. ***The Hawke Family Series does need to be read in order to fully enjoy and understand the plots.Reading order for The Hawke Family SeriesSavage CollisionTortured SkyeStone SoberBuilding StormTainted SaintSteele Resolve Read more
