The Walker Brothers…

Tall, dark, and deadly, these three brothers run Walker security. Each brother is unique in his methods and skills, but all share key similarities. They are passionate about those they love, relentless when fighting for a cause they believe in, and all believe that no case is too hard, no danger too dark. Dedication is what they deliver, results are their reward.

Book 1 HOT SECRETS:

Royce Walker, a former FBI Agent, who’s opened a private security firm with his brothers, has always had the hots for the prim, proper Assistant District Attorney, but considered her hand’s off because of a family connection. However, when danger threatens Lauren, he isn’t willing to stand by and watch her get hurt. Now the passion for survival is only rivaled by the passion burning between them. And that passion, might just be the death of them both.

My Review:

The first book in the Tall, Dark & Deadly series is a riveting romance that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.  Former FBI agent Royce Walker opened a private security firm with his brothers and has always had the hots for the prim and proper Assistant DA, Lauren Reynolds, so when her life is threatened he will do whatever it takes to protect her.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps the adrenaline pumping with lots of suspense, drama and romance.  The author uses well written scenes and events and well orchestrated timing and suspense to bring this story to life and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the intrigue and drama of Royce and Lauren’s story as the danger escalates.  The strong compelling characters are easily related to and grab the reader’s attention and inspiring lots of curiosity to know more.

The attraction between Lauren and Royce radiates extreme heat from every page and the sex scenes are so hot they explode with fiery passion that singes the reader.  Lauren captures the reader’s heart with her shy insecure vulnerability when comes to men, which is in direct contrast to the strong, take charge lawyer and Royce makes hearts pound with overprotective bossy attitude that just screams sexy and hot. The story produces tears and outrage, laughter and smiles throughout the story and there is some fun snarky dialogue to spice things up as well.

The author has created a great contemporary romance with three sexy and charming brothers that ensure that the reader wants to know about their stories. I was totally caught up in the story from the very beginning and the author managed to throw a few curve balls in there amongst all the personal conflicts as well professional conflicts that kept things real interesting.
