Series Blurb: 

Northstar Security Firm is an elite private security agency whose mission statement: GUIDED BY THE TRUTH, is the guiding principle to provide justice for those who have been wronged. Founded by former CIA agents Byron O’Neal, Katherine O’Neal, and Sean Malone, Northstar Security has a ninety-nine percent success rate. That one percent is a still open case involving Katherine’s murder and Sean Malone’s career-ending gunshot wound. Nothing is a hundred percent guaranteed, and angst over one unsolved case doesn’t stop good men and women from fulfilling their duty.

Egan Maddox isn’t sure he’s the right man for the job when Northstar director, Byron O’Neal, asks him to find his missing daughter and protect her from an unknown danger. Egan’s never shaken off his attraction to Kellee O’Neal and hiding away with her, could be more than trouble than this former Navy SEAL can handle.

Kellee is lost, with no memory, and believes someone wants to hurt her. When Egan appears and seems to know her, he convinces her she’ll be safe with him. As her memories resurface, she turns to Egan for comfort, and her youthful crush transforms into a womanly passion she can’t deny.

With the Russian Mafia closing in, Kellee learns her entire life has been a lie. How can her love for Egan be enough to help her navigate the murky waters of her past and prove that her heritage doesn’t matter as much as the woman she’s become?

Excerpt:
Share a bed with Egan? After what had just happened? Could she do it? Had they done it before?

“I’m sleeping on the floor,” he said, as though sensing her thoughts.

She whirled around. “I wasn’t…I was wondering if we…” Her cheeks grew hot. How did she ask that question?

The corner of his mouth twitched. “No. We haven’t.”

“Oh.” That settled the question about being lovers. Disappointment gnawed at her. She wasn’t his student anymore. She was a grown woman, with mature needs and desires. “I’m perfectly fine if you want to sleep on the bed with me.” At least she thought she was. “Besides, you’ll be uncomfortable, and might kink your neck, or worse.”

He shrugged off her concern. “Comfort isn’t the issue.”

“Then what is?”

“Let’s just say I don’t need the distraction.”

Her? A distraction? His admission ignited a flare of hope. Without a second thought, she walked over to him, stood on her toes and planted a kiss on the same cheek she’d slapped earlier. His scruffy whiskers grazed her lips, searing a new memory into her brain.

“What was that for?” Frustration edged his voice.

“For slapping you. You didn’t deserve it. You were doing your job.” She returned to the bed and pulled down the covers, watching him out of the corner of her eye.

Egan stood rooted to the carpet for a moment. Then he strode decisively into the bathroom.

She smiled when she heard him swear just before slamming the door.

#Review ~ Tell It Like It Is by Stanalei Fletcher ~ @StanaleiFletch

First off I have to say I LOVED the title Tell It Like It Is. Second well it's a Stanalei Fletcher story I knew I was in for a good read before I ever started reading the first page. Ms. Fletcher has a talent with romantic suspense stories. This lady can tell a story that is impossible to put down. 

Justine Shelby to protect Rosalee Kane. Rosalee is a famous author that has been around a block or two. Now she's is writing a book to tell just what all she has seen and done. It's bound to be a page-turner and it has certainly flared up interest. The problem being it's drawn the wrong interest. There have been threats and attempts on Rosalee's life. 

Justine gets an unexpected partner to assist protecting Ms. Kane.  FBI Special Agent Nelson Kane is a nephew to Rosalee Kane and he is determined now to help protect his aunt. Justine and Nelson don't start out on the best of terms and they sure do know how to irritate one and other. They have to get together on the same page to protect Rosalee. 

These three set out to find a safe place to hang out while everyone works on solving the mystery of who wants to hurt Rosalee. That's when this story turns in a roller coaster ride of drama, mystery, suspense, and action. I could not set this book down. There was no way I could set it down until I found out who these three could actually trust and who was the no good rotten person behind the attacks on this wonderful lady, her nephew, and her bodyguard posing as her friend. 

I don't want to tell you too much because you are going to want to grab up this book and read it for yourself. Trust me if you love a good Romantic Suspense story then you need this book and you need it now! If you are a fan of Stanalei Fletcher like me, then you will enjoy this book as much as I did. I have found that this talented lady has grown with each new book she puts out. I swear each book is my favorite until her next book is available. 

This is the fifth book in the Northstar Security Series but it stands just fine on its own. Each book in this series can easily be read on its own. However, if you grab one you might want to grab two because you are going to devour the first and wish you had another one to read right now. 

I was given the opportunity to read this incredible story and it has been my great pleasure to share my thoughts with you.

#Review Breaking the Honor Code by Stanalei Fletcher ~ @StanaleiFletch,

Breaking the Honor Code 

Northstar Security Series Book 4

 by Stanalei Fletcher 

Stanalei Fletcher hooked me with the first book in her Northstar Security Series and became a must read for me. I could not wait to get my hot little hands on Breaking the Honor Code and when I did I could not put it down! This is one of those books that is so incredibly awesome that you have to see what in the world could possible happen next.

Allison Richards is smart, really good at her job, she's sweet, independent, and loves her family very much. This lady can crack code with the best of them. I think one of things I really liked about her is that she can tear apart just about anything, fix it, and put it back together again. She loves her nephew so much and even creates fun games for him. She is the perfect "favorite" aunt. 

Sloan Cartland is playboy handsome with the reputation to go with it. He has been sent on a mission to get to LA to help solve who is hacking into their system. On the way he's sent to check on Allison and to take her with him. It sounds like a simple enough plan doesn't it? The weather had other ideas. Allison, her nephew and Sloan are all snowed in together. 

Allison and Sloan don't exactly hit it off right away. The tension and friction between them starts to add to some attraction. Then things start to go wrong. I won't tell you too much because you are going to want to read each and every twist and turn for yourself. While Allison is trying to figure out what is going on with the network for Northstar Security things start pointing at her. Oh my! My heart was pounding before but when the drama and danger started my pulse was pounding, my breath was catching, and I was flipping pages as quickly as I could. 

This is the fourth book in the Northstar Security series but can easily be read as a stand alone. All the books will stand on their own but let me tell you they are all awesome so you may just want to pick up the whole series when you grab this one. The charters are charming, well developed and very easy to bond with. The story lines are all fabulous and each and everyone one of  Ms. Fletcher's books are page turners.

I was given the opportunity to read this fantastic story and it has been my great pleasure to share my thoughts with you.

#Review - Beyond Duty By Stanalei Fletcher

Who else loves Romantic Suspense stories? Are you looking for a FABULOUS romantic suspense story with a whole lot of heart pounding, breath taking drama filled story? Grab Stanalei Feltcher's Beyond Duty and pick up her previous books while your shopping. They are all wonderful reads and each one has became my favorite book of her's when I finish. 

Riley O’Neal is a great agent. He has done plenty of undercover work before but nothing like the assignment he has just been given. Maybe I should say never in a situation like the one he enters into with his new assigned partner. Riley is handsome, brave, intelligent, and creative. If I was in trouble I sure would not mind having this guy in my corner. 

U.S. Army Lt. Mary “Chip” Anderson is a lady I would want in my corner too. She is smart, caring, strong, independent, and knows how to kick butt. This girl can take down just about anyone before they even know their in her cross hairs. It didn't take me long to know I'd like to be friends with this lady. She's pretty awesome. 

Chip isn't all the keen on having been assigned Riley as her partner either. They are about to head out on a mission that is very dear to Chip's heart so she is willing to accept whatever help she needs to get the job done.

Riley and Chip work well together. There is plenty of heated attraction between them. There is also a friendship forming quickly while they are in one dangerous situation after another. 

I don't want to tell you too much about the dramatic scenes in the book. I want you to expense that intense heart pounding feeling for yourself. I know that once I started this book I had a REALLY hard time putting it down. 

Ms. Fletcher has a way with a story let me tell you. I adore this lady's work. She has created a phenomenal story line with great characters that quickly became friends. I cheered for their victories, feared for their lives a few times, and let out a sigh of relief when after each major drama.

Beyond Duty is part of the Northstar Security Series. Don't worry if you haven't had a chance to read the previous books yet. Each book stands on it's own just fine. I enjoyed each one though so I'd grab up the whole set and settle in for some stupendous reading. 

I was given the opportunity to read this great story and it has been my pleasure to share my thoughts with you.

#ReleaseDay #SpotLight - Beyond Duty By Stanalei Fletcher

Beyond Duty

Northstar Security

By Stanalei Fletcher

Blurb:

Northstar Security agent, Riley O’Neal, balks at posing as anyone’s husband for an assignment. Nevertheless, to rescue the kidnapped wife of a U.S. Senator, he’ll perform his duty and do his best to resist the charms of the very woman who deceived him on a previous mission. 

U.S. Army Lt. Mary “Chip” Anderson is uneasy about the undercover assignment to pose as newlyweds. Concealing her attraction to Riley while staying focused on the task, may be the biggest challenge. Despite efforts to remain objective, enforced proximity ignites emotions and a desire to make the fake honeymoon real. 

When Chip is kidnapped during a botched rescue attempt of the senator's wife, both women become pawns in the case that threatens the nation’s security. Riley must remain objective, save the women, and avert the threat. But after that, can he convince Chip that she wants to wear his ring forever?
