This action-packed story is full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat and biting your nails or getting a good stiff drink. He will stop at nothing to keep those he loves safe! Zack Cunningham is the sexy, brooding leader of the Fortis team. He has spent most of his life fighting evil, first as an elite SAS operative, and now running Fortis, a group comprised of ex-special ops men and woman. Now he faces the biggest fight of his life. He must keep the woman who has haunted his dreams safe while he leads his team against the sick and twisted Divine Watchers. With trusts broken and relationships betrayed, can he convince the woman who haunts him that he is worth a chance or will he die trying? Ava Drake has spent her life living in a man’s world, and she knows she is strong enough to go it alone. She now must decide if that is living or is risking her heart and that of her sons a risk worth taking. Does she stand and fight for what she wants and needs from the only man she has ever loved or does she run and keep her heart safe but dead? Zack and Ava must decide if they want to fight for what they want or if it’s just too big a risk to take.

    Secret Redemption: Fortis Security Book 4
    By: Maddie Wade
    5 out of 5 stars

    The story Secret Redemption: Fortis Security Book 4 by Maddie Wade is a thrilling/mystery romance book. This is an awesome book the I loved reading. It is a story that has action, danger, and romance all in one. It had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next and who would survive. This is also a story that had my heart melting as I was hoping for the two main characters of Zack and Ava to find their happy ending. These two have a history/past together. It is one that unfortunately left Ava with a broken heart. Zack now finds that Ava needs to be protected, to be kept safe. He is also seeing Ava as part of his future. Can Zack convince Ava to trust him with her heart again? Ava is a smart, beautiful woman who knows how to stand on her own. Being so close to Zack has brought back all the feelings that she had and still has for him. Will Ava act on those feelings and let Zack back into her life and her heart? Does she see him as part of her future? This couple has amazing chemistry and they have deep feelings for each other. I loved reading about how they interact and banter back and forth with each other. There are quite a few other characters in this story as well. Most of them are the men and women that work at Fortis, their families, and loved ones. This team is more like a family and care deeply for each other. When one needs help the others always step up to assist. There also is a lot of drama that happens within the group. There are also those who have their own agenda and evil plans that they are putting in place. They don’t care who they hurt in order for their plans to be successful. Can Zack and his team thwart those plans? This is the fourth book in a series and I can’t wait to read the next one. I also plan on going back and reading the first three as well. This is an author who is an awesome storyteller and has created amazing characters. This book does include scenes of violence and other mature content. I would recommend it for those 18 years of age or older.

    Zack Cunningham is the former SAS operative and Owner of Fortis Security. There main mission has been to bring down the Divine Watchers and stop them from trying to take over the world.

    When one of his agents turns on them and targets Ava, there's nothing he won't do to protect her and her son. He can no longer hide and pretend that all he feels is lust when his protective instincts are this all-consuming must protect at all costs. He is responsible for the lives of many but none more important then Ava. He finally understands the pain and suffering his fellow team members who have lost loved ones because of the Divine Watchers. He saw it in their faces every day but now he feels it and his soul.

    Ava has no doubt that Zack will keep her safe but she knows that in order to protect herself and her son she's going to have to tell Zack the truth about the secret she's been hiding for the past couple of years. She knows that she's never going to love anyone the way that she loves him, she's just praying that he forgives her and understands so that they can find a way to get along and do the right thing going forward.

    I highly recommend reading the series in order that way you don't miss anything. There's always a twist and turn. Her characters are like a close-knit family​ you want to catch up with at Sunday dinners. They are funny, caring, and full of spunk. Each book just gets better and better and leaves you wanting more. What an ending she gave us, can't wait to see what happens next.

    Happy Reading!

    This is a great series, got it on kindle and enjoyed seeing Ava and Zack get together. Her surprise from the states made hm realize that he had the love he’d been missing in his life.
    Coupled with the suspense of Fortis trying to solve the problems of the Devine Watchers, this is a great series.
    If editing was better I might rate it higher.

    So much craziness!!! Loved zack and Ava. Their back and forth was hot and hilarious with their competitive streaks and stubborn souls. But they were meant to be together. Watching zack with Riley was heart breaking and so adorable at the same time. Loved this story. And there were so many ups and downs. Poor zin. Thank hod that was cleared up quickly but then to be hurt and push people away to protect them. Ugh. Hopefully Celeste and him are ok. Then there is Roz and kanan. She is badass and loved how she was when zin was in the hospital. The glimpses into the other side and seeing smithy make me think Lizzie is still alive and I hope for their sake she isn’t harmed or more damage done or there will be hell to pay. Can’t wait.

    Zack is the leader of Fortis team. He is in charge of keeping his team safe. The newest addition to his team is Ava. They share a history together. Ava intends to do her job and keep him at a distance. Everything was going well until old feelings start resurfacing. She has to much to lose, to let him back in. Can she trust him? Can they get passed what has happened in past? They also have to deal with what is happening with divine watchers.

    This story had so many twists and turns. There is one twist, I never seen coming and omg what doozy. I love the banter between Zack and Ava. The sexual tension and chemistry between them sizzles. I enjoy how the ending sets up for the next book.

    Zack had finally realised that he needed the help of someone in his past. Ava was angry how thing left, because she truly loved him but what her the most was he never called her back after having a great time together 3 years ago. When she came to help she had no idea that it would take so long so she left her "family" behind and wasn't going to tell Zack but of course trouble came knocking and was shock to find out. During the fight to keep everyone safe he now had to come realise he was in love.

    Secret Redemption is the fourth book in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. This is my first read from this talented author and it certainly won’t be my last. This can be read as a standalone, but after reading it I am really intrigued by the rest of the team, so now I HAVE to read the other stories that came before this one. I think I probably would have enjoyed this book even more than I did, if I had read the other books first. I am definitely going on a one-click spree now and getting all the other books, to read ASAP. This is a romantic suspense- with drama, action, adventure, danger, thrills, intrigue, mystery, and their very survival at stake. From the first page, until the last word, I was hooked- I read it in one sitting and loved every word.
    This story centres on Zack and Ava. Zack Cunningham is the leader of the Fortis team, he’s strong, determined, and very capable- a swoony alpha male type. He takes his responsibility as team leader very seriously and will do everything in his power to keep everyone as safe as possible.
    This story sees the team pitted against the Divine Watches and their twisted plans. When the team is betrayed by someone with a hidden agenda, and Ava is targeted- Zack will do whatever it takes to keep her safe!
    Ava and Zack have a history, that left Ava with a broken heart. Being around Zack has old feelings resurfacing- but Ava doesn’t just have herself to consider, her little boy’s well being is the most important part of any decision she makes. Can Zack convince Ava to allow him back into her heart? Will Ava learn to trust Zack with her heart again? She has a secret that will need to be disclosed- what happens when everything is revealed? Will they thwart the bad guys and keep everyone safe?

    I loved Ava and Zack, they are really great characters. They were interesting and extremely likeable. Their chemistry sizzled off the pages and made for some red-hot reading.
    The author held the tension at an elevated level throughout the book and kept me guessing most of the way through- she expertly added twists and surprises that ramped the story up a few notches.
    I can’t wait to read the next book!

    Thank you, Ms. Wade!

    Secret Redemption is the 4th book in the Fortis Security series and I was jumping for its release because this series is fabulous!

    This is Ava and Zack's story, a fast paced, exciting rollercoaster ride, shocking surprises, rekindled love, heartbreak....this book has it all, if you're a fan of this series you will not be disappointed, if you need something new and exciting to read, get this series!!

    The Divine Watchers are ramping up their efforts to destroy The Fortis Crew and the mayhem they ensue will leave you gasping! Zack is the hardarsed boss who is constantly under pressure trying to contain and defeat the Divine Watchers with his team of ex military (some with added gifts) highly trained soldiers , then his ex lover Ava drops a Bombshell and Zack has even more to lose....

    Ava is sweet, strong, fiercely independent and guarding a secret that is a total game changer, how will Zack react to her news? Should she even tell him? Will he figure it out himself? All valid questions that beg answers!!

    With all that's going down in the story, with the external battles the Crew are fighting they are also trying to cope with betrayal of one of their own which throws the team into turmoil and causes some internal bickering....not what Zack needs!

    Secret Redemption as well as being edge of your seat exciting is humorous, sexy and even made me shed a tear or two...it's everything you want when you pick up a good book.

    Maddie Wade has once again enchanted me with this series, I genuinely love these books and the characters I can't recommend them highly enough.
