Beguiled (Covington Security Book 3) Kindle Edition
Dex Covington knows one calculated risk can ruin everything. His brilliance behind the screen earned him the highest security clearance in the military—but not without lasting consequences. Now, he takes comfort in logic and numbers—solving Covington Security’s cyber crimes with the hopes it will ease the weight of his past.
Until a new case strolls through his door with her long legs, spunky personality, and the flirty smile that’s been aimed at him for months.
Laura ‘Jo’ Benson is ready to take on her new life after a rocky past—or she was until some jerk stole her identity. The bright side? Her sassy humor was left untouched. Oh, and the man who’s going to help her is the kind of nerdy-hot that makes her knees weak.
Finding the thief is one thing. But when the threats start and Jo’s installed as Dex’s houseguest, the real battle begins. He can’t afford to be beguiled by her charms—the consequences are too risky.
But Jo’s determined. To crack the case—and Dex’s shell of solitude—she’ll prove that his risk is worth the reward.

About the author

Rebecca Sharp always loved a good love story. Let's face it, when you include a romance novel on your 8th grade summer reading list just to see if the teacher would notice (she didn't!), she was bound to give writing one of her own a go. There's really no corner of romance that she doesn't (or wouldn't) enjoy writing, except maybe aliens, much to her husband's dismay, so her large catalog features a little something for everyone. However, her love of shows like NCIS and Criminal Minds makes her favorite stories to write the ones with some kind of suspense and crime solving.
When she's not writing, she's at her office treating patients, and somewhere between those two things, you'll find her wandering the globe with her husband always searching for their next adventure.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is the story about Jo who was a child star in her past. She went through her share of drugs, alcohol and sex in her past as well. She left Hollywood and is starting over again at a Woman's Center called Blooms. She just found out that someone has stolen her identity and her friend suggests that they go and talk to Dex who is ex CIA and ex soldier who now works with his brothers at Covington Security. He works cyber crimes and could easily help Jo.
Jo has a crush on Dex and is uncomfortable asking for his help as he is always so gruff with her. But when they go to see him Dex jumps in with both feet and vows to help her. While there Dex gives her a burner phone also as this person also bought a new phone under her info and had hers turned off.
Things quickly continue to get worse for Jo and Dex demands that Jo move in with him so he can keep her safe. What Jo doesn't know is that Dex has sworn off any relationship with women because of something that happened to him while he was in the military.
Holy cow do things ever get good. Love the struggle these two have. Heart wrenching and addictive at the same time. This is a truly must read story. Enjoy!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseBeguiled is a great addition to the series. This is Jo and Dex's story, I absolutely love this couple together. They even eachother out. Their story has been brewing since Carmel Cove series. The chemistry between these two will finally explode.
Jo is out going, full of life and laughter. Dex is serious and hates socializing. Dex has demons but he needs to let someone in. Jo needs his assistance on a personal problem, he moves her into his house to protect her. Jo will seduce or poke her Beast until he falls madly in love. Loved the banter between all characters. I wonder if Matteo or Zeke will get their own stories! I want Zeke to get his HEA. Happy Reading!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAfter book 3 of this series , I love it! I love the storyline and the characters connections to each other. Their past they fight for a brighter future! Must read
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseReally loved the story of Dex, with his promise that he’d never try to have a life of his own because of the lives he felt he’d failed when he worked for the CIA.
Jo had regrets from her life too, as a former child tv star she saw all the ways Hollywood could mess people up, and came to Blooms (from book 1) to heal from that.
He’d tried to ignore their mutual attraction until circumstances made her his temporary roommate. That was really a bad luck into good situation.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis story hit on so many important topics. For one is how monstrous the CIA is, I really can’t fathom how they operate. Next identify theft, what I feel should be done to those responsible 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬, and last but not least mob activity. Something that boggles the mind. Not just the Asian mob, the Russian mob, along with the South American mob….heavens the Italian mob, doesn’t seem so threatening 😳, can’t believe I just wrote that, anyway, as I said so much involved in this story. It does hurt me to think of the drone pilots and what they must go through, at the end of the day, if they have a failed mission 🤧💔. But hopefully that doesn’t happen very often. Loved the ending❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰

- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis 3rd book in the Covington Security series is the best yet! Here we have a heart stirring, grumpy-sunshine, friends to lovers, close proximity romance sure, but wait. Dex and Jo’s chemistry is nothing short of explosive. Get ready for super steamy scenes here. Whew.
I loved this book and was so happy to see Dex fight his demons to realize he was in fact worthy of love. Add in some identify theft and mob killings and you’ll be captivated and read this in one day. Guaranteed.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2024Format: KindleVerified Purchase3.5 Stars - A good read. Dex and Jo, what a pair. A man who avoids her like the plague and she just can't help herself. Jo needs help when her identity is stolen and she knows her BFF is right, in that Dex can help to get to the bottom of things and help sort things out. For Dex, he knows he can't turn her request down, but it is going to be hard to keep to his self imposed penance. This story was good, but his taste ran dark. I get it, but it was a little more than I prefer, but I still liked their story. My favorite is still book two!

5.0 out of 5 stars this is by far my favourite book of the series
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseOk, ok, I know I have been saying that after each book but this one was the most exciting and literally beguiling book. I may have read it in a day, just saying.
- Sabine N.Reviewed in Germany on August 24, 2022
3.0 out of 5 stars Always the same scheme
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI like the stories of Mrs. Sharp. But what about some surprises? When it comes to sex, the heroine always sighs the name of her lover and then the word „please“. That is obviously the only word they are able to imagine….At 80 % the heroine meets a dangerous situation and at 92% the happily ever after starts. Nices little stories, no surprises….
- Tracy ~ Book Loving PixiesReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2021
4.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyed this book
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Dex and Jo’s story….. but our leading man was more than I imagined him to be.
The thread of the story is relatable as you hear so much now about identity theft and the effects it can have on people. When things go wrong, Jo needs Dex’s help, even if that’s the last thing she thought she ask him for……
Dex hides behind his computer screens and work and doesn’t let a lot of people in. Due to circumstances out with his control in his past, that he still carries the weight of, he chooses to be alone and isolated…. that is until events around Jo take a dangerous turn and he finds himself in close quarters with her and things between them start to change.
Jo has had quite a chequered past, growing up in the limelight then hitting rock bottom, she hasn’t had her troubles to seek. She’s a fighter, determined, lives her life to its fullest and I really liked her strength of character.
This pair are so different, Jo is the light to Dex’s dark, but once they get together they are combustible and make a great couple.
Thoroughly enjoyed this instalment in the series.
