Solid Read

This is a cute story. I liked the two lead characters. They were both independent people who went after what they want. The story immediately dives into an insta-lust relationship that confused me because there was no initation into it. There is no flirting or anything. Marcas just basically went to Sarena and stated that he liked what he saw and he wanted her. Ok. No problem. They are two consenting adults but a little foreplay into my romance makes it stronger. Marcas doesn't do relationships because of his job but after having sex with Sarena he can't shake her. Sarena wants to respect his decision but she wants more. So she goes after that. They both agree to a relationship...which by the way was only in the bedroom. I wanted interaction outside. Dating. something. Though the sex scenes were HOT!!! The action seeps in the latter portion of the book. Things move very quickly and I wish we got more of that portion of the story but I was still pleased. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration. They were both new to me. Overall, a nice start to the series. There were things that could have been delved into more to make the book stronger. I'm curious enough to read other books in the series.

Fantastic!

This one was very special to me as I have family and friends that are Navy Seals and Swat. It was an example of the closeness and dedication to family, loved ones and our country. It had plenty of sex to keep things hot! Wen Ross and Trei Taylor did a great job narrating it! Wen’s accents of the characters added special meaning to the story. He is wonderful!

Tactics

Oh my goodness! This book tickles all the auditory senses. I love the voice of Wen Ross, and I love how these narrators are able to get the listener to feel the emotion of each character. I will be honest, I thought this book was going to be all sex, and I'm thankful it wasn't. There are some very steamy love scenes, and I think they are tastefully done. I love the twist the author added to this story, because I was wondering how she was going to make it more than just boy meets girl and boy falls in love with girl. I also enjoy that there wasn't much angst between the H and H. I love angst, but most authors tend to drag it out, and I for one believe that two adults should be able to talk  to each other and resolve their issues. Another plus is this is an interracial romance. I love interracial romances stories. For some reason, they still seem to be taboo, and at times it is hard to find those that are superb. This one was very good.

Steamy and Action packed!

This was my first Peyton Banks's book, and won't be my last. This is the first book in the Special Weapons & Tactics Series, a Military Romance, and BWWM Romance. Marcas (Mac) and Sarenas's story is short, fun, steamy, and action packed. I love the instant attraction, the sizzling chemistry, the strong characters, and the suspenseful storyline. Marcas, leader of his S.W.A.T. team, is alpha, protective and possessive. Sarena, an ER nurse, is feisty, and strong. The secondary characters are great and intriguing. I love the brotherhood among the members of the S.W.A.T. team. Wen Ross and Trei Taylor did a great job with the narration. Wen Ross is already one of my favorite narrators. This was my first listen to Trei Taylor's voice. She has a beautiful voice. Looking forward for the next book in the Series, Dirty Ballistics, Declan's story (Mac's best friend).

stalker alert

stalker alert- it's the heroine!! Marcus tries to be chivalrous in regards to Sarena, but she's not having it. She was like a dog with a bone and wouldn't take no for an answer. Kinda stalkerish, as I see it. She flagrantly pursued Marcus using the oldest trick in the book- sex. No surprise that it worked. He's only a man and falls for it when it's pushed in his face constantly. I was disappointed that the author chose to throw the profession of nursing under the bus- the salker's profession was a nurse..I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator was good.

Smoking hot romantic suspense!

This romantic suspense starts off with the h lusting after her neighbor...and the H playing hard to get. That doesn’t last long, however, and we’re soon entertained by witty banter and steamy times...but this IS a romantic suspense soooo...bad guys, kidnapping, etc. Good story.

Sexy little BWWM romance

This was a good story . Somewhat gritty and the alpha male was sexier than the cover. I liked the heat between the two. It was narrated very well. I like the fact the voices matched what I expected of each character. Very well narrated. Will purchase other audio books with this duo

Sexy

This book was well written. It was straight to the point about their love for each other, also full of action. Both narrators did a wonderful job, kept me enthralled. Great job, Peyton Banks. I will be reading more of your books.

Great story

I love the characters and the narrators were amazing. The author truly brought the alpha male protective side and strong female which is needed to keep a alpha grounded and in line.

Loved it!

Love this book. I hope there is a part 2. That includes Declan or even her brother.
