Ian Richards is now going by his father’s last name of Fuentes. He made a deal with his father that I don’t want to tell about, but suffice it to say, it was a doozy. Ian moved in with his father and is helping him run his cartel. Quite a change for a former SEAL. His former teammates are stunned, his mother and stepfather also. No one can believe he’s a traitor, especially not Kira Porter, who shared an encounter with Ian in Hidden Agendas.

Kira Porter is down in Central America to see for herself about Ian. She basically bulldozes and schemes her way into Ian’s life. Never mind that he tries to push her away. Kira is a force to be reckoned with. She’s a double agent kind of girl. She wants Ian and he better be accepting of it.

Kira made me laugh with her antics. Ian made me smile with his alpha tendencies. This pair was made for each other. The suspense of whether Ian is guilty or not is definitely in question, but I’m not telling. You’ll have to read the blazing love story for yourself.

This is the second installment in a short story series. It involves Jazz, Logan and Zach. Logan and Zach do a favor for a friend of theirs. Jazz wants to feel girlie since she is always around alpha males and some of those males have to report to her. She has a spa day and then goes to basically an escort service where she meets Logan and Zach.

Logan was injured while on deployment and discharged on permanent disability. His injuries are severe enough he fears he may be emasculated for the rest of his life. Zach just wants his best friend back but if he gets to have sex with a hot girl in the process, hell yeah.

It really was kind of a sweet story in that Logan’s fear of rejection was dealt with. Also through Zach’s desire to see his friend whole again. I was grateful for no I love yous with this story, just an agreement that they would get together on her next leave. Whether I’d read more in the series remains to be seen.

Book two deals with the continued aftermath of the date rape drug that has been unleashed by Diego Fuentes and his associates. Diego is a huge part in this series but so far more of a bit player. He was one of the men behind the kidnapping of three young girls. All in their teenage years to very early twenties maybe. Two of the three girls were rescued but one died from complications of the drug. Two of the three girls were raped repeatedly including the girl who died.

Emily Stanton is one of the survivors and was not one of them that was raped. She is the heroine of this book. I loved Emily. She was a pistol. A kindergarten teacher with a fierce sense of adventure. Her father is a retired SEAL so she has grown up around her father’s men and associates. She has carried a torch for the elusive Kell Kreiger.

Kell Krieger, who we first met in Dangerous Games, is also a SEAL and friend of the Stanton family.
He has secretly longed for Emily but considered her too young in age and experience for him. He and his SEAL team are brought in to protect Emily when information points to the Fuentes cartel being on the hunt for Emily.

Lora Leigh involves us in a continuing storyline with the date rape drug and a couple of pretty big plot twists. This is one of my favorites in this series. Emily and Kell were precious together. If you are wondering about the love scenes…blistering!
