Great book!! I absolutely love the introduction of Gray & Jack to this universe. Love how much of a badass this story portrayed women. Not just Natasha buy Gwen as well as Jessica & Harper (as usual). 

I loved the right person, wrong time theme with Wyatt & Natasha. They both knew from the 1st time they met, but something, usually the Knight, got in their way.

I thought it interesting that Henry chose Abbi from the beginning due to her video. What started as probably an attempt to damage control turned I to something else. Abbi is so sheltered and naive. She is a hard worker but is a bit hard to relate to for my taste.

Great story of mistaken identity & family loyalty. I love that Damian & Nicole met on the plane & were able to form a friendship before everything unfolded. Loyalty was the underlying theme of this story. Loyalty to his brother & loyalty her her mother. They both had to decide when to let themselves be more important & I'm glad they did it together.

Coming back from the dead after 12 years is gonna take some getting used to for both Shane & Lily. I love the fact that he was at the cemetery every year on the day of his death so he could see her. And even though he had the best intentions, it didn't matter in the end. Lily was still in danger. It was a great action-packed story.

I really enjoyed Knox's. There were many different angles in this story, but I really loved the friendship that was showcased with Knox & Adriana.

Loved this story. The way that Asher & Jessica met before he even started working with the team and then found out she was Luke's sister was great. I love the fact Jessica was still working with refugees after all these years even though she was told she couldn't help. Her tough guy facade is just that, a facade. She Worrall has a big heart. She just built up thick walls to protect herself.

Another page turner. Great story line about loss & moving on with someone who you may not have thought possible. Sam fell first but Owen fell harder.

Having the 10 year anniversary of the failed op and then having more SEALS go missing all tied to Sam would be enough for most to crumble. It just shows how strong of a woman Sam is.

It's such a great story full of twists & turns!! The mystery & suspense were off the charts and kept me riveted to the book!! I did not see some of the twists coming. Cas is an alpha among alphas, and I love how he was so protective from the beginning of Birdie. I loved the banter between Cas & Chandler. The pain that Birdie suffered through & continued to survive was heartbreaking. Cas really helped bring her back to life.

This was a great story with two topics that are near and dear to me. Infertility & special needs children. I love that the reason Sam and Colt first started off not liking each other was over their mutual protectiveness of Eve. But the fact that they had a connection without knowing who the other was shows just how much they were meant for each other from the beginning.

What a fantastic holiday read!! I love the entire Romeo & Juliet theme of feuding families the whole book has. But I loved that neither Jackson nor Emma could deny their attraction to each other. Throw in the adorable Marley & Mo to the mix & you have another level of cuteness.

I have to say the way they ended up in the situation at the beginning is pretty hilarious. But I love that the town was like 'nope. we are done with you'.  But I am here for more of the Pearce brothers & Josie, of course.

Forbidden love affair that neither person was looking for but couldn't stay away from. Loved the loyalty that was shown throughout the series by all the characters to Isaac & Isabelle.

Aria is one tough mama. The way she raised & fought to protect Zac from such a young age shows true strength & character. Cole had his own baggage he had to work through about relationships. I didn't see the twist coming at the end. Another great story by Nyssa.

It was such a great ending to the Blue Halo series!! I knew Liam would fall hard when he fell & he totally did. Nylah went from overprotective brothers to overprotective enhanced soldiers. But I loved how strong she was & fought off the attempts against her. The fact that she wasn't satisfied with just helping get 2 people to safety & went back for more shows her true character. 

The way the story unfolded was such a great suspense. I did not see the twist of who the bad guy was coming. But I loved how it was interwoven with Project Arma & Blue Halo.

Running to Colt was instinct & exactly what she didn't know she needed. I love how he was so protective of her from the beginning.

Great story. Loved the dual POV and that thr flash backs told the story about how they ended up where they were. The way that their friendship started was so enduring. Plus add in all the stories he would tell, it just melted my heart.

That twist at the end I did not see coming. Ok parts of it I did see like the letters but not the reason. I also loved the key and everything it symbolized for them both. Can't wait for book 2!!
