Trey Hanson is sexy and sweet at the same time. He thinks he found the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. The problem - she disappears after a hail of gunfire and he later finds out she's his next assignment.

Elle Monroe has been a pushover for most of her life, so to escape, she works as a nurse in underdeveloped countries. Unfortunately, she is brought back because of circumstances relating to her senator father and must be protected by the alpha team.

Together, Trey and Elle have explosive chemistry. Surrounded by his team makes situations very comedic but not too drawn out.

There was a lot of danger and suspense that definitely kept me interested in the storyline. Although the bit with Elle's ex seemed a bit over the top.

This is the second novel to the Alpha Security series and it felt like it could be a standalone. Characters from the previous book made an appearance and made me curious about their journey but it did not take away anything from the story I was reading. There was a lot of action as well as some comedy. If you like these elements, I do recommend this novel.

I really enjoyed the first book in the series and I'm not disappointed with the 2nd! I loved falling back in love with these super macho, interfering, dominate-the-room Alphas!

Trey thought a night of lust before taking up his new assignment was just what he needed. But when his bedmate does the morning after evade on him he's left feeling that he just let something great slip through his hands. But bullets were flying at the time and he had other work at hand! Elle went to Thailand to get away from men who wanted to pin her down and put her in a box - never again! Her ONS seemed to want more and she just can't take the chance with her heart - cause when she dumped her ex she barely passed a tear - losing Trey? She'd give Niagara a run for its money! 

But Trey gets a nasty surprise when his next assignment turns out to be Elle. She is the daughter of a Senator and threats are being made against her. Trey is going to have to swallow is damaged male pride and keep her safe. But when their location keeps being blown and she is attacked several times - they go waaaaaay off the map to keep her safe. But are Trey and Elle's hearts as safe?

The Alpha team are so a dysfunctional family. The bickering, the senseless rough housing, the name calling - it's great! The team are in fine form and Charlie - oh my my. My fellow Brit is going to be explosive when she and "Navy" finally get around to quit shying away from each other! 

Great pace and I really liked Trey as a character. Elle did have to grow on me I must admit. I'm hoping her Dr friend will turn up again cos think her and a certain Alpha would be fab together!

Plenty of romance and adventure with a side of humour - fab read!
