My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Levi's Legend - 4*

When Levi was in the service as a SEAL he was involved in something life changing that was caused by someone betraying the rest of his group. Since then he has been focused on finding who it was which means his new security firm and everything else has taken a second place - even though the man he is hunting for is also looking to find Levi and finish the job properly. Ice has been with Levi all of the time however for some he has shut her out and everything is getting to a critical point - if something doesn't happen soon or a wrong word is spoken her hopes and dreams could be over (as well as the relationship between them). Can they beat the man coming for them before it is too late and can they both survive with their relationship intact?

This was a great start to the series - there was enough back story that I could understand the links between the players and the various ways the end could go. I felt all the angst of both Levi and Ice and the emotions that were churning through their thoughts as the story developed. I was heartened and relieved at the way it finished although there were lots of twists and turns as part of getting to the end. Well written, everything was clear and easy to understand and very enjoyable.

Stone's surrender - 5*

Stone has gone through a long slow recovery and is back working for Levi and for his first active role he rescues a kidnapped senator's daughter Lissa. Determined to do anything to spoilt her father's plans for her, Lissa did not plan on getting kidnapped but as soon as she meets Stone nothing else seems important however when they return to their home country she finds the nightmare seems to be there still - ban they find out what this is all about, clear her name and move on with their lives?

This was a great story with lots of drama, danger and an underlying mystery that kept my attention all the way through as I tried to work out all the different scenarios that could have caused all that drama. Well written and easy to understand, it was a charming love story merged into a dramatic story all around danger, betrayal and corruption. Definitely recommended.

Merk's Mistake - 4*

Merk is finally recovered from his injuries and is back dong missions however he gets a very unexpected call from his ex-wife asking for a meeting - problem is when he finally gets near her he watches her being snatched into a vehicle and driven away fast. Katina went to Merk because although they haven't spoken for years he is the one person she knows will have her back when she is in danger. It appears that they are both just as attracted to each other now as they were then - can he keep her alive, get to the bottom of the mystery and get their relationship back to the way it was years ago?

Wow - drama and excitement all the way through this story as they faced danger after danger. I liked the way they reconnected and took their time to see how things were although it seemed obvious that they would get back together - I just hope that this time they are sure of what they are doing as I would hate to see it go wrong in a later book in this series. Katina because really annoying in the way she kept things so close to her and hid everything until the last minute of them trying to work out what was happening to put her in danger - how can she trust him enough to help her but not enough to tell him things? Well written and easy to understand I just wish I could warm to Katina a bit more.
