Linear Tactical Book 4
Even angels have their demons
Jordan Reiss is well aware that if she was on fire the entire town of Oak Creek would probably go inside and make a sandwich. She can’t blame them. Her father scammed half the town out of their retirement funds, and then she…
She did so much worse.
She doesn’t expect forgiveness. But she’s back in town with no other options and just wants to be left alone to live on the fierce Wyoming land she’s missed so much during her six years in prison.
Former Navy SEAL Gabriel Collingwood's callsign may have been Angel, but he'll be anything but to protect his sister. Especially from a pretty ex-con who has somehow weaseled her way into a job at his sister’s new bakery.
He doesn't trust Jordan, even with her big gray eyes and quiet smile.
But when someone decides it's time for Jordan to leave Oak Creek—preferably in a body bag—Gabe will have to put his distrust aside. Jordan needs her own guardian angel. And he happens to be one.
******
ANGEL is a stand-alone steamy romantic suspense, set in the LINEAR TACTICAL series. Meet the former military men of Linear Tactical, and the women who bring them to their knees: The strongest fall the hardest.
A "less-steamy" version of this book (same great story but with toned down language and sensual scenes) is available on Janie's website ~ If you like the heat level of Janie's Harlequin Intrigue books, you'll love the "less-steamy" version of the Linear Tactical series!
My Review:
I love this series. I’m not sure there’s anything that would make me not love it. (Please note, this is not a challenge to be taken in earnest.) Jordan’s kind of been a staple in the background of all the other books so far, so I was really excited to see her get a story of her own. And what a story it is. She needed a miracle to break through the grudges the townsfolk were cherishing, but she didn’t just get a miracle – she got her very own guardian angel. I had a feeling that Gabe was going to be something special when we met him. I didn’t realize how much more there was to the man than the corporate shark and overprotective brother. I also wasn’t expecting the emotional impact this book had on me. The same scenes in Violet’s book were powerful, but the didn’t leave me bawling like a baby the way they did from Gabe and Jordan’s perspectives. I don’t know what’s coming next at Linear Tactical, but “bring it on!” I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
