Release Boost- Shamrock by Janie Crouch




Title: Shamrock
A Linear Tactical Standalone
Author: Janie Crouch
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: December 4, 2018



Blurb

Every mission has a price.
He never meant for her to pay it.


Aiden has never left anyone behind. Not a comrade and certainly not an innocent. But when an undercover mission goes wrong, he's forced to abandon a woman trapped in a human trafficking ring.

Violet learned brutally that no one is promised a happy ending. She knows Aiden blames himself for his part, but she refuses to let her abduction define the rest of her life.

She won't be a victim again. And she's going after what she wants: Aiden.

Watching Violet transform herself into a fierce warrior is the sexiest thing Aiden has ever seen. The honorable plan would be to stay away from her--let her heal and grow without the shadow of his mistakes clouding her progress--even though every instinct tells him to claim her for his own.

But when they discover the danger they thought they'd left behind is closer than ever, they'll have to face their deepest fears and fight side-by-side in order to survive.

Excerpt

Violet knew what she wanted.
No more being passive. No more agreeing to what might in fact be good for her but wasn’t what she really wanted.
“You respect me,” she said gently.
The relief flashed and Aiden’s hazel eyes. “Yes. I have nothing but respect for you.”
“Thank you,” she whispered, trailing her fingers through his thick hair. “And thank you for getting me home safely last night. And like I said before, thank you for getting me out of that hellhole a month ago, for figuring out that I was in trouble when to anyone else it just looked like a normal part of that situation.”
His brows furrowed. “You’re welcome for all those things. But there’s no need—”
She put her finger up to his lips. “I just wanted to say it one more time to make sure I’d been clear. Because now I’m done saying thank you. And I think you better take me inside. Otherwise, Mrs. Mazille and her neighborhood watch might get quite an eyeful with what I’m planning to do to you.”
There was only so much a man could take. A line where he snapped. A great deal of his Special Forces training had been spent learning how to push that line as far back as possible.
But when Violet’s fingers reached for the hem of the T-shirt covering her body and began pulling it off, Aiden found his line very clearly.

My Review:


Shamrock is the 3rd book in the Linear Tactical family and it is an emotional rollercoaster ride that will tug at your heartstrings.
For Aiden/ Shamrock, he has never left anyone behind. Not a comrade and certainly not anyone innocent. But when an undercover mission goes fubar, he's forced to abandon and leave behind a woman trapped in a human trafficking ring. 
Violet/Firefly has never known such helplessness in her entire life. She had no idea why she was abducted.
During Violet/Firefly's short time as a kidnap victim included being abused, caged, chained and restrained. Violet just retreats into her mind thinking about her recipes and thinking how she can improve them with different ingredients as so to keep herself sane- all these recipes for her new bakery she was supposed to be opening. If she can ever be saved.
Not knowing who Violet/Firefly is, Shamrock finds out a few days later she was the younger sister of Gabe Collingwood, who was a leader in engineering technology. Gabe had played a huge part in saving Finn's girlfriend life some months back. So now Shamrock is doubly determined to save Violet. What goes on the rest of the story is suspense plus passion plus action and romance; family and friends really is highlighted in this book which is awesome. I loved, even when things got raw and gritty, how the main characters were able to find the way to each other, hold on to one another and work thru the pain and tragedy that befell them. The emotions and feels are deep which is why this is a sensational romantic suspense read!!!


My Rating; 4.8 stars *****
