Falling for Zeke

GIVEAWAY

BLACKARD, SARA
FALLING FOR ZEKE

An ex-Army Special Operations member burned once by love. A single-mom stalked by a powerful enemy. Can he risk his heart for her safety?

Zeke has everything he could want. A multi-billion dollar inheritance allows him to protect others...and with the camaraderie of his brothers-in-arms. He spends his time growing his security firm and keeping his head down. Love is the last thing on his mind, until Samantha and her daughter are in need of his help.

Samantha used to have a comfortable life. Now she waits tables to put food on her own. Forced from the life she had built, Samantha works to restore what was lost. With her daughter in tow, she begins a new life in the Colorado mountains. It's not perfect, but it's all theirs. But when the tempting Zeke offers to help her, she begins to wonder if love could heal her shattered life.

What will Samantha do when past troubles come knocking? Will Zeke protect his heart or will Samantha shatter his defences?

My Review:

New author. New series. And I'm soooo happy that all the books are on audible!!!! Because, now that I've met the whole gang, I have to read each guy's story!!!

Great team building -- fans of Susan Sleeman's Nighthawk Security series and Christy Barritt's Lantern Beach series will love Blackard's Stryker Security Force series too. It has the same kind of camaraderie and team banter and everyone lives on the same compound. Though I'd say this book reads more like a contemporary romance with a side of suspense.

The romance is toe-curling, Zeke is definitely a swoonworthy hero and Samantha is all too aware of that fact early on. But she's been through a lot and she's wary of complicating her life further. Her priority has to be her daughter, four-year-old Eva. Be prepared to melt into a puddle of goo when all these big, strong, defender types fall under Eva's spell. Nothing exposes the true nature of a man than the way he treats children and animals!

A nice mix of intense and light-hearted with some great action thrown in besides. My first Sara Blackard book but it definitely will not be my last!

Goal Update: #1 Read more indie authors, #4 read more new-to-me authors, #5 Diversify my reading, #7 Start new-to-me series

  1. WOW! To be compared to Susan Sleeman and Christy Barritt make it an automatic "gotta read" book. Of course, as an old Army brat, I was hooked on the third word of the description - Army. Can't wait for the opportunity to dive into this one!

    Thank you for your review and for bringing a new to me author, a great sounding book to our attention AND the chance to win a copy!
