Favorite Quotes:
Maybe we should take things slower. Take some time apart to
make sure this is what we actually want in life before we make such a big jump.
I love you, Belle. I’ll always love you. You were the first girl who touched my
heart. Who made me feel emotions outside of the ones I feel for my family. I’m
sorry if this is coming out of left field for you and I hope you
understand. Love Always, Bobby
Bobby Baker promised Annabelle "Belle" Smith he
would always take care of her. And with an abusive, piece of crap for a father,
it was surprising she believed it or anything at all but she did. That was
until she received a letter that tore her apart. After receiving this letter
she disappeared from their small town.
The man was nothing noteworthy, just your average looking
Joe. What made my breath catch was the woman who walked in behind him. Dirty
blond hair, streaked with natural white-blond highlights was pulled back into a
braid that fell halfway down her back. She wore low rise jeans that showed off
a flat tummy and well-rounded ass. Her badge was belted to her waist with her
gun in its holster on the opposite side. A fit black, short-sleeve polo—also
embroidered with an ATF emblem—did nothing to hide her more than ample breasts;
the kind that overfilled a man’s hands. Even large hands like mine. Moss green eyes scanned the room, roaming
right over me. As if she didn't even know who the hell I was! It might have
been fifteen years, but I damn sure knew who she was, despite the changes in
her appearance.
My confusion was quickly morphing into anger. Belle’s eyes
had passed right over me again as if she didn't even know who I was! I knew
better, though. She knew exactly who I was and when this meeting was over I was
damn well going to get some answers from her.
“Belle!” She kept walking without acknowledging me. What the
hell? “Belle! Wait up!” As Boyd stopped to turn at my approaching footsteps,
confusion on his face, I reached out to grab Belle’s arm with my right hand to
stop her. Two seconds later, a shot of pain flashed up my arm as I found my
hand pulled backwards and bent at a nearly debilitating angle. Belle’s
beautiful face stared back at me with bitter disdain. Anger simmered in her
green eyes so fiercely, I felt the impact of it to the soles of my boots. Boyd stepped forward to stand between us just
as she released my hand and then held her other hand up to ward Boyd off from
interfering. “Mr. Baker, I’ll kindly ask you not to grab me. While you’re at
it, please refrain from calling me Belle. I go by Annabelle. Now, if you’ll
excuse me and my partner, we have things to do before tonight’s meeting.” Belle
turned away and walked confidently down the hallway while Boyd gawked at me
with open curiosity. With a shake of his head, he jogged after Belle, who had
turned the corner, already disappearing from sight
Fifteen years later...
Bobby Baker has regretted for 15 years sending that letter.
Now a member of a secret government organization called Ex Ops, who does what
the government cannot do legally. On new mission, Texas ATF agent Annabelle
Roberts walks in and sees her heart before her. She is now forced to work with Bobby
on a mission to find who was involved in funneling weapons to a Mexica Drug
Cartel. Will Annabelle be able to let go of the past and work together? Or will
this distraction get them both killed?
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
I love stories that have hot sexy alpha males, action,
suspense and intrigue. Did I mention hot sexy alpha males? This story also
contains kidnapping, attitudes, friendship, humor, smart kickass women, and hot
sex. I loved what Annabelle did to Bobby
and he deserved it too. There is also lying, betrayal and love. All the characters are well-developed in this
story and it is a page turner. Did not
put it down until I was done. WAY TO
GO!!!

Favorite Quotes:
Honestly, I thought the two of us had been on the same page
about all of my hang ups since we’d started dating in high school. Riley had
even helped me pick out a career to pursue when I’d explained to him that I
wanted: something as far from my mother’s profession as possible. He’d
suggested I be a kindergarten teacher because, as eighteen-year-old Riley had put
it, “Seriously, babe, what’s more wholesome than being a kindergarten teacher?
You can work with little kids and that will keep you busy while I’m deployed.
It’s perfect for you.” Then with an eyebrow wiggle, he’d added, “And we can
play teacher. That’s hot.
When I left this house, I was not only leaving the memory of
my beloved little boy who hadn’t had a chance to bless this earth. No, I was
leaving as a woman who would no longer doubt whether she was worthy to love and
to stand by instead of leaving behind.
If I found the will to live again at all, I was not going to repeat my
past mistakes of trying to mold myself into someone I was not. Nor was I going
to beg or bend over backwards for the love of someone else. In fact, without a shred of doubt in my
mind, I was aware of one solid fact: the old Kara was gone forever, and it was
my turn to leave.
She must have felt my eyes on her because, all of a sudden,
she got this adorable little furrow between her brows and shifted her gaze to
see the room behind her in the mirror. That’s when her eyes locked with my own
and she gasped, dropping her lipstick. Twirling around on her high heels, one
of her hands reached up to cover the area of chest over her heart, and a
strangled sound left her throat. Taken aback
by her reaction, I was about to apologize for obviously scaring her when I
hadn’t meant to, but Lucas’s voice rang out from down the hall before I could
open my mouth. “Yo! Sullivan! Bring your
ass down here and stop checking the girls out.”
I turned my head in Lucas’s direction as I flipped him the bird, but I
was again cut off by a voice before I could tell him he could shove it up his
ass. Only, this time, the voice that interrupted me was soft, feminine, and one
I heard every night in my dreams. “Riley?”
Motherfucker. That scantily clad
stripper was my goddamn wife
Kara Sullivan had a happy in her marriage with Riley or so
she thought. Everything she wanted she had a loving husband, home, and a baby
on the way. Everything changed one night
when Riley agreed to take on an assignment and Kara was in a tragic accident that
cost them their son. Kara makes a decision that her marriage is over and
decides to divorce Riley and disappeared.
Eight years later on a mission, Riley enters a strip club to see Kara dancing. Feeling helpless as he watches the women he loves dance all the guilt and issues he buried comes back to the surface. Can Riley and Kara forgive each other and themselves? Or will their past destroy any chance they have of finding their way back to each other? Or will Riley’s mission destroy it for them?

I loved the first book in this series but I would have to
say this one tore at my heart even more….
Yes there are still hot sexy alpha males, strong women and intrigue.
This book was one that cause me to go through the same emotional roller-coaster
ride that both Riley and Kara did. From the first page to the last one they is
love, happiness, laughter, sorrow, anger, heartache, despair. Then you have the hot sexy kick-ass alpha
males who if I didn't say it already were hot and sexy. JESSIE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! Cannot wait for
the next in the series!!!
