André
The Marines trained me to set my sights and wait for the shot. For eight years, I guarded my brothers and defended my country. Now I protect my clients. My personal security firm is the best in the business because I leave nothing to chance… until a dark-haired, hazel-eyed spitfire crosses my path.
She and her sexy-as-hell striptease were supposed to be a one-night distraction. But too late I noticed the branding on her back and my blood ran cold. This woman wasn’t a distraction—she was a death sentence.
Knowing who she was left me no choice. I took her on as my client. But running from her past wasn’t an option.
The Marines didn’t train me to retreat. They taught me to engage.
One shot. One kill.
Review
| With every single book I read by Sybil Bartel, my love grows and grows. Not only does each story pull me into the twists and turns leaving me wondering what will be coming next for the characters. I've been looking forward to Andre's book since I read Talon, then Neil, then the rest - Andre has been such a huge part of each of Bartel's books, even with only minor involvement there's always been that question of Who exactly is this man and what don't I know about him. When I discovered who his heroine would be I was anxious because she's another character I had so many questions about and I could just see how things wouldn't be smooth and easy for these two. Andre is full of twists and turns and unexpected secrets all while being action packed, swoony, and hot at the same time. The backstory of this heroine and how it's made her who she is and how it affects her future as well as the past is just brilliantly told and intriguing. Andre's in for the ride of his life with this one and whether he knows it or not he's been preparing for this for a long time. As with other novels by this author, there's always a character or two who flitters through the next, in a minor part or more and adds something more to it. That is no different in Andre's book - we see a lot of characters we know and love which builds on the previous evidence of the family built by these Alpha men and the care they have for not just one another but the women who get involved with their family. It's a beautiful thing to see and watch play out and it's always nice to get small updates about past characters of course. This story comes together fabulously dragging me thorugh the pages panting for more and leaving me impressed at all these characters have endured and how it's built them. |
Author Bio:
Sybil Bartel grew up in Northern California with her head in a book and her feet in the sand. She dreamt of becoming a painter but the heady scent of libraries with their shelves full of books drew her into the world of storytelling. She loves the New Adult genre, but any story about a love so desperately wrong and impossibly beautiful makes her swoon.
Sybil now resides in Southern Florida and while she doesn’t get to read as much as she likes, she still buries her toes in the sand. If she isn’t writing or fighting to contain the banana plantation in her backyard, you can find her spending time with her handsomely tattooed husband, her brilliantly practical son and a mischievous miniature boxer…
But Seriously?
Here are ten things you probably really want to know about Sybil.
She grew up a faculty brat. She can swear like a sailor. She loves men in uniform. She hates being told what to do. She can do your taxes (but don’t ask). The Bird Market in Hong Kong freaks her out. Her favorite word is desperate…or dirty, or both—she can’t decide. She has a thing for muscle cars. But never reply on her for driving directions, ever. And she has a new book boyfriend every week—don’t tell her husband.
