Author not entirely Kat Martin

I love Kat Martin's books, and have them all, as I waited & waited for this one to be available, yes I was disappointed to discover written by Kat and two other authors. Book didn't have depth.

Danger, romance, second chances and HEA

I was searching through the county library website to see if any new books from Kat Martin were available, and was delighted to come across this one, since it also had a Deep Opps story by Rebecca Zanetti and another story by a new author for me. The common thread through the three stories is Ian Brodie. It has been a few years since I have read any of the "Against" series, so this was a treat. Another common thread was that all 3 women had been in foster care and were now in danger because of a family member.

AGAINST THE HEART: Meri Jones is running from the father of her little girl, who was threatening to take the child away from her if she didn't pay him money that she didn't have. Fortunately, just as she has driven as far as she can from California with the money she has left, she runs into Ian Brodie, who is looking for a housekeeper for his father.

SHAKEN: One of Raider's foster siblings, Michelle Peach, is in danger because of her druggie mother, but since he is undercover, he sends another sibling, Evan Bolton, Michelle's ex and former marine, now small town sheriff to her rescue. He also send Wolfe, accompanied by Roscoe and Kat, to help them. Michelle and Evan get their second chance.

ECHOES OF THE PAST: Melanie Cassidy rescues one of her charges at the Hummingbird Youth Center from being kidnapped and is then immediately rescued by her ex-Detective Gray Hawkins, who like Evan, has turned his life around, to get Melanie back. I love second chances. Several of the characters here were also in the first story.

I usually don't care for anthologies, but I liked and would recommend this one, if you are already familiar with the AGAINST and DEEP OPPS series. Danger, romance, second chances and HEA.

Trilogy

Read this because I like Zanetti's Deep Ops series. Shaken is the story which is 2.5 in the series. Michelle & Evan are the main characters who were in foster care years ago with Raider & Wolfe. The men are all former or current military & work in private or government sector. This short story weaves the relationship between Michelle and Evan reconnecting after years when Michelle's drug addles mother steals her work tablet and starts blackmailing dangerous people. The other two stories were OK. I've never read Kat Martin or Alexandra Ivy's books. The stories were OK & I didn't know much of what was happening because I didn't read their series of books

Interlinked Stories: Family in the truest sense

Three women in this anthology are interconnected by their backgrounds growing up in foster homes, two of them with men from the past whom they loved and lost. Each author’s story also connects to characters from books in their series.

Against the Heart by Kat Martin

Meriwether Jones, a single mother with a young daughter, she has been trying to protect Lily from a scumbag, druggy ex who steals her money and threatens to take away the child. On the run after another confrontation, Meri is helped by ex-cop turned PI, Ian Brodie, who needs someone to look after his aging father. Ian knows Meri is in some kind of trouble; he is determined to protect her and Lily.

Shaken by Rebecca Zanetti

Michelle grew up with Evan Bolden in foster care. Their young love was broken up by Evan’s desire to go into the military. Michelle could not deal with having the man she loved constantly be at risk. After Meri’s ex assaults Michelle and her drug addled mother causes more trouble, Evan turns up to help protect the woman he never forgot. Fans of the Deep Ops series will be happy to see Wolfe and that crazy dog.

Echoes of the Past by Alexandra Ivy

Melanie has made a good life for herself helping out at-risk children. When she saves one of her young charges from kidnappers, her former boyfriend Gray Hawkins shows up to whisk them away to safety. Detective Gray Hawkins broke Melanie’s heart some years ago so she is not inclined to risk a relationship with Gray again. Gray has been on the trail of dirty cops when Melanie steps right into the fray; he will do anything to protect her and when Melanie back.

All of these stories have women have had a rough start in life and are currently in dire need. Each has a family who has let them down; however, their friends prove that family is defined by more than blood relationships.
