Review:
This is the second book in the series and now I am really wanting to read book one. I enjoyed that I was able to read this one as the second book without being too lost and confused as the story has already been developed. The characters are great individually and as the Savage Security group - they are protective and loyal; especially when it comes to a couple of the members being a target of the Black Widow. I don't want to give too much important detail away...but this is a fast moving book but not so fast that you get lost or confused. However, this book did feel unfinished and left me hanging. I am going to hope that it is because it is a series and not a standalone. I would recommend this series to just about everyone, but definitely read the series as a whole.

Excerpt:
The moment Jack had been waiting
for finally arrived when the restaurant door opened and in walked Bella. Jack
took her in. Her petite form was sheathed in a red dress that hugged her in all
the right places. The plunging neckline accentuated her firm breasts and the
skirt cradled her ass. He’d never seen her wear anything like that to work.
Bella’s smile radiated joy, and her
eyes sparkled with happiness. Her long black hair with the pink tips fell
beautifully over her shoulders. She was Jack’s weakness. He wasn’t sure which part of her called to
him more. Her sweet personality that brightened every day at Savage Security,
or her fantasy worthy, smoking hot body. Those two traits combined made her the
most desirable woman he’d ever known. From the moment they’d met, he’d recognized
the sincerity and kindness in her eyes. In his line of work, he didn’t see much
of that. He dealt with the dregs of society, and when he’d met Bella, he
realized that she was the antidote to the cynicism that orbited him. And now as
he took her in, he knew that he either needed to get over her or claim her as
his own.
Bella looked over her shoulder and reached
back with one hand. Behind her, a man reached out and locked hands with her.
She smiled at him as he stepped beside her. Jack’s brows pulled together as the
man’s body brushed against hers. Jack’s blood turned molten. He stared at them
as they made their way towards the Christmas tree to drop off the toy she
carried.
Cole couldn’t have been happier as
he watched Jack’s reaction to Bella’s friend. If he’d realized Bella would show
up with a man, he would have taken out his phone to record the look on Jack’s
face.
The air around Jack thinned. He
struggled to catch his breath. It felt like he’d been sucker punched by a
gorilla.
Bella looked happy. With a man.
Jack shook his head in shock and finally
remembered to breathe. “Who the hell
is that?” Jack sneered. Irritation laced his words. His night had gone from
promising to miserable in the period of a heartbeat. With each step the man
took, Jack studied the intruder. The man’s short cropped blond hair stood in a
messy, spikey jumble on top with the sides cut short. A short-trimmed beard and
mustache completed his look. His clothes fit him well, the style current and
fashionable. He looked like he’d stepped out of a magazine photo-shoot after
being prepped and perfected by professionals.
This male version of a
fashionista’s relationship with Bella was not going to continue. Jack would definitely
put an end to this man’s dreams of bedding his
woman.
Mike watched the happy couple
stroll to the Christmas tree. This was a new development. He hadn’t heard Bella
talk about a man. Did Alisha know about
this? He’d be sure to ask her.
Jack tore his eyes from Bella and
looked at Cole. “Did you know about this?” He subtly pointed towards Bella and
the mystery man on the other side of the room. “Did you know that she was
bringing a friend tonight?”
Cole chuckled low. His shoulders
rose and fell as his chuckle strengthened into a laugh. “No, but I think the
night just got a hell of a lot better.” At least Cole suddenly felt much
better. It was clear from Jack’s reaction that he didn’t need to worry about
Julia. Jack’s OCD was about to be unleashed on the stranger who’d dared to put
the moves on Bella. He knew it was going to kill Jack to watch her with a man
tonight, especially one that may go home with her. He almost started to feel
sorry for him.
Bella squeezed Eric’s hand. She was
thankful that her dry spell was over. It had been a while since she’d been with
a man. Sure, she was surrounded by macho, manly-men all day, and her friends
were jealous that she worked in the midst of all that sexy testosterone, but
they didn’t know the downside.
She was surrounded by all that
testosterone.
The men she worked with were
intense. Not the ‘their favorite team is playing their rival so they turn into
madmen for a few hours’. No, everything
about her coworkers was hardcore. They took everything seriously, and even
their presence could be intimidating. Sometimes she felt as if she worked in a
pressure cooker. She figured the men were probably sitting in the restaurant
right now assessing threats, probably had been since they’d entered and
probably would until they left. They never
let their guard down.
