As a covert ops agent, Declan Steele is used to a life of danger and distrust, but when the one person he trusted and believed in above all others sets him up, he’ll stop at nothing to make her pay. Finally rescued from his hellish prison, Declan has only one priority – hunt down Sabrina Fox and exact his revenge.
Trusting no one is a lonely, perilous path. Sabrina swears she’s innocent and Declan must make a decision – trust his heart or his head. As memories of their life together returns, he realizes just how treacherous his torture has been and the target of his revenge shifts. But when Sabrina is taken, retribution is the last thing on his mind. With the assistance of Last Chance Rescue Elite, Declan races to rescue the only woman he has ever loved before it’s too late.
Here’s a peek into Running On Empty –
Prologue
Paris, France
Sabrina Fox stood at the window of her apartment and looked down at the bustling street below. Since she lived on the thirty-sixth floor, recognizing anyone from this distance should be almost impossible. But she would know him…. she would recognize him from any distance. From the moment she had met Declan Steele, she had known him.
Not that it had been love at first sight. A smile tugged at her mouth as she thought about those early days. She had hated Declan with a passion unrivaled since the fury she had known as a kid. He had infuriated her, challenged her…. made her see things in ways she had never considered before. She had wanted to succeed in everything he taught her, but at the same time had resisted him with every fiber of her being. Even then she had realized her hatred for him was different. He had been her trainer and harder on her than anyone else in the class, but even in their darkest moments with each other, she’d felt as if an invisible force had been drawing her to him.
Still there were many days she’d left her training sessions plotting his excruciatingly painful death. Dangerous, since he had been teaching her how to kill.

I love Katie Reus’s Red Stone Security Series!! They are full of testosterone alpha males protecting their own no matter what. As much as there’s plenty of action and thrill, I love the way they are one big family, not that blood is what’s important, but relationships made from the heart bring the members and family of the Red Stone Security together and they kick ass when needed. 
The latest addition to the Red Stone Team is Ivan – big, bulky and all soft in the inside. A loner by nature, he joins Red Stone and the entire team as a family got his six covered. And he ends up falling in love with Julieta, a lingerie shop owner, family to the Red Stone team, witty and charming and victim of a stalker. When Julieta’s life is threatened from an unknown stalker, Ivan jumps in to protect her, and both end up under the same roof. A perfect arrangement to test their attraction, sizzling between them.
I can never get bored of Katie’s characters. “Under His Protection” is another enjoyable read of charm, passion, danger and love. It keeps you guessing as to whom the stalker is and Ivan and Jules make an endearing pair.
“Winter and its long, frigid nights were coming. This week’s mild weather was merely a temporary reprieve, a delay of the unpleasant and inevitable months of cold darkness breathing down Philadelphia’s neck…At this point in the game, my biggest concern was that someone would discover my captive…” the evil thinks and plots…
The crime has been scripted. The action choreographed to the last detail. And the web around the usual suspect has just gotten a little bit tighter, as Melinda Leigh takes us into the deceit and dangers under the midnight sky, in her latest book “Midnight Betrayal”. How evil can evil get?
Curator Dr. Louisa Hancock and Conor Sullivan have a past in Maine that binds them with some unusual circumstances. Moving to Philadelphia, to start a new life, Louisa gets drawn into a killer’s mad game of hide and seeks. The disappearance of interns working at the museum brings back Conor Sullivan into her life, as he becomes the prime suspect due to circumstantial evidence.
As Conor and Louisa wage their own investigation into the killings to clear Conor’s name, they battle immense attraction for each other as their insecurities and betrayal from the past holds them hostage to accept what the present is offering to take the relationship into a future. Two characters etched to perfection with impeccable imperfections!
Melinda Leigh did a brilliant job of narrating the story with so much passion and suspense; you forget that you are reading a book. Not even once does she give us a whiff of a hint as to who the killer may be. Not until you reach the last few pages of the thriller, the evil is revealed!!! She’s done such a great job of holding the interest of the readers to the very last word, and it is no mean achievement.
The whole essence of a good thriller rests on maintaining the suspense, an element of surprise and the tone of guessing in every page, and Melinda has exploited all those to the fullest extent. From her first book “She Can Hide” to her latest, “Midnight Betrayal”, she has progressed into an amazing writer of romantic suspense and thrillers.
Midnight Betrayal is a page-turner with a story rich in excitement and anticipation, deceptive and malicious, endurance and support, love and passion.
Received an ARC from the author for an honest review.
I’ve had a couple of Susan Kearney’s books in my library for a while now, but ended up reading her Born Trilogy. The book covers were so captivating and endearing. Been her books a first for me, was not sure what to expect even though the synopsis of the books was intriguing.
Born In Secret is the first of the trilogy of the Braddack brothers and introduces Max Braddack, a genius inventor and Brooke, a mom on the hunt for the secret behind her daughter Skye’s birth. Brooke lands on Max’s doorstep in with the shocking news that a Braddack is the biological father of Skye.
Born In Secrets is a thrilling ride of hidden secrets, suspense and danger lurking in the shadows of a fertility clinic. As much as the story was interesting, somehow I felt that Max and Brooke were rushed into love. There was not that much of a character development versus giving the premise of the story more importance.
The second in the trilogy is Born In Danger, with Ford Braddack getting kidnapped by the sassy Devlin Ward, who happens to be the cousin of Ford’s dead wife Rhonda. Ford, Rhonda and Devlin are mentioned in the first book, Born In Secret.
Ford’s been trying to find the killer of his wife for a few months now, and Devlin is a private investigator hired in secrecy to find the killer too. She kidnaps Ford to get his help as her leads travel continents, and she needs Ford’s help and contacts to pursue.
Now this story is better paced and I enjoyed this far more than the first one. The character development of Ford and Devlin was etched well and they catch your attention. They had time to spend time together, get to know each other, as they are forced into dangerous situations and try to protect each other from getting killed.
This is a definite read that will be enjoyed for sure. I really like this book a lot as it keeps you guessing, taking you into another ride of suspense, thrill and betrayal.
The last book in the trilogy, Born In Mystery brings us up close and personal with Craig Braddack and Summer Warren, carrying Craig’s babies in her womb as a surrogate mother. Summer ends up with Craig as she is trying to leave a dangerous past behind her and get Craig’s protection for her babies.
This is by far the best of the trilogy and so loved Craig and Summer. Their chemistry was good, their banter was filled with wit and humor and Craig is one alpha protector as a stalker makes his appearance from Summer’s past. Now Craig and Summer have to make sure they counter every dangerous step the stalker places in their path, and survive the horrors of a mad man.
Another enjoyable read of suspense, sizzling chemistry and a race against time to keep them alive.
