Striker (Sentinel Security Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 7,346 ratings

He’s a hot British billionaire.

The rich, muscled, former special forces soldier.

He’s a temptation she doesn’t want and can’t afford, but now she’s working undercover in his company to catch a rogue arms dealer.


Former MI6 agent Hadley “Striker” Lockwood found a new life in New York working for Sentinel Security. Her work fills a tired, jaded hole inside her. Life is just how she likes it, and she definitely has no desire for a man to mess that up.

When her next assignment sends her back to London to hunt a dangerous arms dealer, she finds herself not only face to face with a darkly tempting billionaire, but going undercover as his newest employee.

Bennett Knightley left the SAS with dark scars scratched on his soul and a determination to help in different ways. His successful company Secura makes high-tech gear for soldiers around the world, but now it’s under attack. Shipments are going missing, and his people are being targeted.

Enter Hadley—intelligent, stubborn, beautiful, and with walls a mile thick. Bennett’s never been tempted to mix business and pleasure, but with Hadley in the office he’s torn between their mission and claiming the maddening woman for himself.
As Hadley and Bennett close in on their enemy, they fight hard against their overwhelming attraction. She’s been burned before but the hot billionaire is getting under her skin. With Hadley, Bennett feels parts of himself coming back to life—now he has to not only convince her to trust him, but convince himself he deserves her.

*** Each book in the Sentinel Security series can be read as a stand alone romance.

    Sentinel Security agent Hadley is asked to help to old boss at MI6. Someone is targeting the safety supplies for the English soldiers. She will need to work closely with Seneca owner Garrett. Hadley was burned once by love and is fighting her attraction to Garrett. Now add in one crazy demon, gunfights, and bombs and you have a fantastic read.

    Fantastic story!  Hadley and Bennett's story is beyond what I expected, the twist and turns had me sucked from the very first words. This book takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. It brings adrenaline rushes together with emotionally intense situations. Be prepared to have your heart strings pulled and even have a tear or two in your eyes. Loved. Every. Minute. Of. This. Book. The author really put her characters through the wringer in this story.

    Ms. Hackett’s writing is a breath of easy, fresh air. Her stories are good, but even better is that she doesn’t draw out the angst. There is an intelligent build up to the action and steam, and then she plays out the story, or mission-in these cases, to perfection and doesn’t add in a ton of unnecessary drama. It’s cut and dried, but with flair and emotion. I don’t know how she researched her subject matter, but I know former military and security experts. And some things are over when they are over, and the author seems to know this and doesn’t bog her reader down in silliness. It makes this series fun to read and easy to look forward to.

    This is another exciting series! Keeping my attention and wanting things to turn out for best for all, especially the women and how strong they are and finding a man that will walk beside her as an equal.
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023
    I cannot get enough of this series. This installment started a bit slower than the first two books but once everything got going it was nonstop. It also had a different feel because it took place largely away from the Sentinel Security office and therefore didn’t involve the other members as much, and I think that was what I missed the most.

    British billionaire and former SAS officer Bennett Knightly has spent his time since retiring from the British Army building a company focused on getting much needed protective gear into the hands of the people who need it. After seeing first hand how better equipment could have saved the lives of the people he worked with, he was determined to make a difference. When his shipments are stolen, Hadley, former M16 officer and current Sentinel Security officer, is tasked with working undercover at his company to find the moles and keep Bennett’s company from being destroyed.

    Hadley has trouble trusting people, especially men, and more importantly, especially men she drawn to. But the longer she works with Bennett Knightly, the clearer it becomes that he may be the one man, outside her team, she can trust. Bennett is determined to tear down Harley’s walls, but he understands her trust issues and that makes his mission to earn her trust even more meaningful to him. While chasing leads and saving his company Bennett and Hadley fall head over heals. They have plenty of obstacles ahead, but find they don’t matter as much when the only other option is walking away.

    This was a great addition to the Sentinel Security series. While it had less of the other two couples, it had more Steel and Hex and dropped some major hints about their upcoming books.

    Bennet Kingston’s company is under attack from a secretive arms dealer and Hadley “Striker” Lockwood is hired to help find the culprit, but with these two characters attraction has been setting off sparks in the previous book this one is guaranteed to go up in flames…
    Love the sparring and little steamy flirtatious moments with sassy wit for extra entertainment, definitely for me a quick hard to put down read.

    Hadley came from money, worked for British M16, but was recruited by Killian Hawke, owner of Sentinel Security to do the same kind of work for much better pay and perks. Bennett Knightly is a billionaire who lusts after Hadley and is dealing with sabotage to steal his very special products and protective gear and asks for help from Killian. Hadley is sent in incognito to help find the spies and sparks fly. Excellent story with many surprise twists and turns!

    I savior these books, trying not to gorge myself on them I’ll force myself to read other authors in between, but it’s hard. I love Bennet (big Jane Austen fan here) so you can imagine my sqee of joy at the mention, love Hadley she’s like all A H FMC‘s strong feisty and competent. I don‘t care about the future book hangover, I’m diving into the next one.
