It’s always a pleasure reading Katie Reus and if that story is an extension of Red Stone Security, even better for her ardent readers. “Protecting Rebel” features billionaire Weston and his childhood friend and musical start Rebel, as they come face to face after a long time. Yes, they kept in touch as they went their separate ways, but always had a connection with each other, and Weston’s aunt as the common denominator. But never confessed their feelings for each other.

Weston’s aunt funeral and a threat to Rebel, keep them in each other’s paths. Weston will move heaven and earth to keep Rebel safe, and Rebel is ready to come home to where her heart really is. 

And it always is a pleasure when you hear mentions of the founders of Red Stone Security and come across agents that make appearances in various stories.

Book 21 of the Red Stone Security series is another HEA and feel good story.

“Love sometimes makes people ruthless in a way that not even hatred can.” ~~ Francesca Marciano, Actress ~~

Gideon Wright – “You wanted to protect the defenseless, Eve. I wanted to be the one to protect the defender.”

Eve Wells – “Thanks for not giving up on me. But if you ever again drug me, kidnap me, or inject something into my body without my consent, I will cause you severe, physical pain.”

That readers, are Gideon and Eve for you! Partners, lovers, soul mates and defenders of the innocent, courageous and honorable.

Christy Reece is “ruthless” in creating her characters with her heart and soul!

A chance encounter between two innocent human beings from different ends of the world, merciless events cement the trajectory of these young lives, yet fated to be in each other’s lives and destined to be together with a future, Eve and Gideon had each other’s backs as Option Zero operatives and friends. Between the lines, their chemistry sizzles, thoughts and actions bring to life their emotions and feelings,  script and narrative is an admirable and resplendent passage to their future.

Merciless in battling betrayal, relentless in fighting for their beliefs, bringing the heartless to justice, ruthless in serving the purpose of their goals and objectives – Option Zero operatives are one of a kind and unforgettable characters….thank you, Christy Reece, for these champions.

Be it heroes or villains, sidekicks or followers, family or relatives,  Christy Reece pours her prowess and mastery in developing each character fit for their respective roles in her books.  Her imagination and vision in creating evil for her stories is ruthless to the point of brilliant, as is her penchant for throwing in a twist or two in the penultimate chapters. 

I am not surprised that Iris Gates is in the shadows getting in on the action and I wait with bated breath, for Sean to slay his demons and come back to Serena.

She always knew that her past would somehow collide with her present, and having Easton on her side helps her deal with the unknown threat harassing her.

A tech whiz and his position as a FBI agent, gives Easton the added ammunition to protect and help Kinley deal with a killer playing deadlyy games and wanting to finish what started a few years ago. Kinley brings out all his protective instincts and more, and the killer has to go past Easton to get to Kinley. 

In a deadly game of cat and mouse, Easton has everything to lose, and losing Kinley is not an option. Again, Charlee James creates an interesting story of romance and suspense with an engrossing plot and captivating characters

Here’s another new author, Charlee James, (seems to be fairly new), and add to my list of authors to continue to read. She was definitely a surprise read.

Vision Of Justice“, book one of the Vision Series, brings Detective Gus Lambert to Sasha Frost, an artist instrumental in helping rescue a kidnapped teenager. Too close to home, and a series of murders in the aftermath, Gus has a serial murder to catch, who is hell bent to mete out justice of his own. A twisted plot that unravels with each murder, Sasha is caught in the crosshairs of the killer, and if Gus cannot unnravel the twisted mind of the killer, he would be losing the woman he’s fallen for.

Charlee James sure did create an extremely interesting and twisted plot, narrated exceptionally well as well. Both Gus and Sasha are well developed characters, and Vision Of Justice is definitely a story not to be missed.
