Guts & Glory: Brick (In the Shadows Security Book 6) Kindle Edition

by Jeanne St. James (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 2,504 ratings
No one would ever expect what haunted him because he hid it so well....

As a former Navy SEAL sniper, Brick has faced his share of intense situations, but nothing could have prepared him for his latest assignment. The king of hookups, going undercover with a ring on his left finger may as well be a noose around his neck. If that’s not enough, he’s paired with a whirlwind of a woman who’s as outspoken as she is curvy.

Fresh off the heels of a life-changing breakup, Londyn crashes at her sister’s house. To prevent knocking heads with her future brother-in-law, Mercy, she jumps at the opportunity to take the undercover job that has her “playing house” with the notorious playboy of the Shadows crew. His laid-back personality, coupled with stunning good looks, should make this a walk in the park. If they weren’t trying to catch a murderer.

Brick, however, is unprepared for the intimacy that comes with living as a married couple and soon the lines between real life and assignment begin to blur. But beneath his easygoing smile there’s a secret he hides from the world. One he’s not sure he’s willing to let it come to light.

Note: Brick is the sixth book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to read both series in order, each book can be read as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.

    Brick is a man who has no commitments other than his job and his brotherhood. He was broken on his last mission before leaving the Navy SEALs and nothing can fix him. When he has been given a job where he has to pretend to be married to get the truth from an alleged murderer, he is convinced that he can keep his hands, and other body parts, to himself. He has no desire to be in a relationship and he knows that Londyn is strictly hands off because he has been warned to stay away by his Shadow brother Mercy. Little does he know that his promise before leaving for this job will be harder to keep than he thought.

    Londyn has been hurt and let down again. Her future brother in-law does not want her at his house and her sister doesn’t show any signs of wanting her in the house either. She wants her close to home, but not in her home. When the opportunity comes up to work with Brick on the job to get information, she thinks it will give her something to do and will give her purpose. She made a promise to her sister that she would stay away from Brick in any romantic/sexual way because she has sworn off men. Little does she know that her promise will be much harder than she thought it would be as well.

    These two are attracted to each other right away, but they fight it for a little bit. I loved these two. Brick is an easygoing guy who just wants to play when he’s not working, but Londyn is a challenge that he is not ready for. Londyn is a naturally inquisitive woman who is more than delighted to get answers from their neighbors to help Brick with his job. They both work to get under the others skin in the beginning and their back and forth is quite comical. I love the heat and passion that is sparking between them. I will never look at brownie batter the same ever again after reading this book either. This book had me laughing at these two, cringing at times, and crying at times, but through the entire story I hated to put the book down. I loved it and give it a 5-star review. I hate to see this series end, but I am so happy that I was able to read it. The men of In The Shadows Security are a great team and the women they each found are perfect for them and they are just as tough and dangerous as their men.

    The beginning of Brick's read had me giggling. Londyn crashing their poker night and Mercy losing his stuff. You can't help but laugh. But when Mercy and "D" decide to send Brick on a mission and he has to take Londyn as his fake wife the fun begins. Remember Brick is a one time wham bam thank you Ma'am and now he'll be spending two weeks or more with a woman he's attracted to and they have to fake being married. Londyn is not a wallflower and very head strong so you know how this mission is going to turn out. A few times I was yelling at her in my head for not listening to Brick. She put herself in danger when the mission was to be reconnaissance, that's all. Yeah didn't turn out that way. Oh did I mention they promised to keep their hands off each other, hmm let me know how that works out. So in the end our player realized his error letting Londyn go. Cute read totally enjoyed this series. OMG and the epilogue was so totally unexpected. Next book is Magnum Dark Knights MC/DAMC crossover.

    I miss the MC, Diesel, Jewel, and the Shadows. I am a huge fan of this author and the series. She wields a story with history, family, love, and danger like no other. I was waiting for Jewel to pop out a boy for Diesel who currently has 3 beautiful girls - just saying — although my hopes have been extinguished. Okay this wonderful story is for Brick who was a former Navy Seal and sniper. The female lead is Londyn, who is Rissa’s pain in the back sister. Londyn just found out her partner has kept her as a side chick for a while now. So she kicks him out and heads out to her sister for Ice Cream and comfort. The issue is that Mercy is uncomfortable with Londyn around so much so that he doesn’t want her to stay at their home in the guest bedroom LoL! Read On!

    Jeanne St. James created an epic finale for the In the Shadows Security series.

    This is Brick’s book .... and it was hella hot. Steamy. He’s the seemingly easy going, up for a good time, one out of the bunch. Deep down he was just as broken as the rest. Londyn was just the right woman for him. She took Brick by surprise and in his words “slayed him”. He fell hard and fast for her, but man did he fight hard against giving in .... just like the rest of the Shadows.
    I really loved this adventurous romance. What am I talking about ? I’ve loved every book in this series, and the Dirty Angels too. I’m sad to say goodbye tho and hope like hell to catch up with my favs in the upcoming new series.

    Just to say I freaking loved this book ! So give it a try. You will not be disappointed for sure.

    This is an exciting story of getting to know each other with a few hilarious bits . I especially loved her line when he's explaining how many women he's slept with and she tells him his bed post was whittled to a toothpick with at the notches for women... She could have kept up those snarky funny bits but I guess the investigation needed her to be serious... It is a good story. I am sorta sad this series and the other DAMC series has come to an end... I will miss these characters hopefully some will pop up in other series from time to time.

    I have read all her books and can honestly say I keep coming back because she's a great story teller. The characters are always unique and the plot is written with care and consistency. If you haven't read the series you'll want to. You know the series you start reading and then quickly forget about it? Not this author's books. You'll find yourself going back for refreshers on plots so you can re-engage with characters. I would start at book one and read them all.
    Brick was awesome and Londyn a different take on the female lead. I loved how open she was.
