    OMG! What a FANTASTIC story by Jane! This story is about Cooper and Willow! The story begins with Willow being held captive and beaten on a daily basis. Wow! Willow is definitely a very strong woman, no matter how badly she was beaten. Cooper met her on his second visit to the man holding Willow captive. This couple find they have strong feelings for each other. It isn't until towards the end that Cooper's brothers finally find him and Willow. It's a sad story but you have to be very amazed at Willow's strength and endurance. As expected, the bad guys threatening Willow have been taken care of. FANTASTIC job Jane! I would highly recommend this book! Great start to the next team!

    If you want to start a series with a bang, this is how you do it! The Charleston brothers (and sister) make up Charlie Team for Prey Security. Since their parents died in their childhood, they have been searching for the reason why. After serving in the armed forces, they join Prey Security. On a trip to Egypt to talk to a source who claims to have info on their mom, Cooper stumbles upon an American woman being held captive.

    Reporter Willow is in Egypt to expose the Charleston Brothers’ source, a professor of Egyptology, as a radical terrorist. She is taken by the professor and held captive for weeks. When Cooper finds her she is one big bruise, with some broken bones thrown in for good measure.

    If you read military romance you know Cooper and Willow will have a hard journey to their HEA. But, dang Jane! I have never seen a couple go through so much. You had me in tears! This is one of the best rescue stories I have read in years! Y’all read this book! It is non-stop action, highs and lows, Hero saves the girl who turns around and saves the hero (multiple times!) Only the fact I KNEW there was a HEA kept me reading through my tears! I love the Prey series, and this offshoot series is building up to be the best one yet. 15/10 recommend!

    This is my first Jane Blyth book. It was pretty good. A bit farfetched but still a nice Security story. I liked both characters and their strength. Fell hard and fast and off to a start of solving the family mystery. They should be read in order since the underlying family story is always there along with the current story. I enjoyed it.

    I should nor be surprised when I find an author that I have never read, enjoying her story (many stories to come).

    It was intense, action filled (from page one), good guys verses bad guys, explosion, justice (in a way) and love. You just can't beat that combination.
