About this ebook

A covert ops specialist, a cyber-surveillance expert, and an unmatched international security and recovery pro. These are the men of Fortis. When money is no object, discretion is essential, and the police are not an option, the wealthy and powerful call on this trio of former government agents with elite military training—not to mention charm and good looks…

Samuel Mackenzie has his hands full with Fortis’ latest assignment. Their client is a European real estate investor who is trying to close a multi-million dollar acquisition. But a competitor is attempting to block the deal by any means necessary, including threats and vandalism that quickly escalate to life threatening assault. For Samuel it’s all in a day’s work—except for one unexpected twist…

The mission requires protective detail for the client and his mistress, who is also his personal assistant. But the mistress is Mikayla Stone-Clement—the only woman Samuel has ever loved, and who always seems out of his reach. Yet things aren't what they seem. Because Mikayla has a hidden agenda of her own, one that puts her directly in the crossfire. Now Samuel will have one chance to save her life…and make her his forever.

    Having read the first but not the second book in this series I wanted to see what happened with the Fortis Group. I have to say Hard as Ice held my attention much better than this book did. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the copy to read in exchange for my honest review. First: I can’t believe that someone like Sam would hold a torch for someone like Kaylee for four years. I mean, really? And, the idea that she began their second encounter with more lies makes it worse. He could have anyone and I can’t understand why he would want her. Sorry.Second: The undercover thing that Kaylee set in motion did not seem very believable to me. And, I can’t see her finding all the information she did all by herself without a major skill-set that was never mentioned in the story.Third: The action elements were more of an aside than a major element of the story…and not that realistic to me. IF you are looking for a second chance at love story with a HEA ending this has plenty of pages and a so-so story to read but I would recommend Hard as Ice as a better story than this one. 2-3 Stars
