Romance Suspense

Mina Hollingsworth is an heiress, but she was tired of living under a microscope with every move analyzed. To put some distance between her and her father, she now lives in the Keys, and nobody knows who she is! She was not about to let a little thing like a mugging, and a sexy as all-get-out protector coming to her rescue change that feeling of freedom. How could a rescue, helping her rescuer get patched up turn into one SINFUL SEDUCTION?

Alexander Blue has had more than his share of action as a Marine. He joins the Red Stone Security hoping for an easy adjustment to civilian life. Rescuing a gorgeous brunette really wasn't on his agenda. He knows something is strange about this mugging, but Mina just doesn't want to believe it was more than that. Is it really possible that her life is in danger?

When anything by Katie Reus is offered for review, I am there to snap it up, and SINFUL SEDUCTION is one I hadn't read. It is an older release but still an amazingly timely read.

One of the things I enjoy reading in Ms. Reus' Red Stone Security series is the men are very protective toward the women. They come off as alpha, with the shooting the bad guys, fighting and high-speed chases but the women aren't exactly in distress. In this case, Mina knows a thing or two about protecting herself, but she also trusts Blue, realizing he knows a few more tricks than she does.

There is an insta-love vibe but that is all right as the pace of this read is fast and the romance itself might have gotten lost in all the danger if it hadn't been instant. I love this couple, who I might add had a few secrets that they had to share with each other to move the trust along. The members of the security company and a few buddies he calls in to help protect Mina all blended well with the drama that takes place throughout these pages. A word of warning - just when you think it's over ... wham ... Ms. Reus throws in a little twist just to keep your heart racing. As I stated earlier this was released a few years ago, if you haven't read it already it is a fascinating read.

SUMMARY

As an heiress from a prominent family, Mina knows the pain of living under a microscope. Which is why she loves her sleepy Key West home where nobody knows her name. She’s determined to make her way without being coddled—and no mugging is going to change that.

Former Marine and newest Red Stone Security employee Alexander Blue has seen enough bloodshed to last a lifetime—or ten. He’s ready for civilian life, but when he sees a mysterious brunette attacked by a mugger, his need to protect kicks into overdrive. Mina, the sensual artist he saved, brings him home and bandages him up, but her gaze cuts clear to his soul. An intense connection isn’t all Blue feels—there was something strange about that mugging; he’s convinced Mina is in danger and needs his protection. Just one problem: Mina doesn’t want saving.
