Miami, Mistletoe & MurderStars: 5Flames: 4Travis Sanchez has been gifted with a mandatory paid vacation by his boss. As a loner he finds himself without much to do. He is dedicated to his work with Red Stone Security. Now seems as good a time as any to go see the owner of his favorite coffee shop, a woman he has been crushing on for over a year. Noel is not shocked to see Travis. He is one of her regular patrons and happens to be the star of all of her fantasies. His timing is just off. She is running out the door to go help a friend who has been threatened. So in the end it would seem that Travis has perfect timing, and he certainly has the skills that she needs.This is such a sweet novella. I loved Travis and Noel. Travis is yummy. He's got tattoos and piercings and the icing on the cake is that he is so caring. He is also tough and has the protective instincts that Noel needs in her life at this moment. The fact that he wants to be in her life is a sexy added bonus. Noel is compassionate and offers Travis the warmth that has been missing in his life.There is a mild suspense element in the mix. Noel has inadvertently put herself in a precarious position and she has taken Travis with her. Travis knows how to handle the situation though. His experience from time in the Marines and now with Red Stone Security will keep them both out of danger and in each other's arms.His To ProtectStars: 3Flames: 3Kell is working a security detail when he spots a woman he has not seen in over a year, a woman he still wants and yearns for. The problem is that just like the last time they were in the same room together she repeats the same action and moves as far away from him as quickly as possible. Charlotte knows that she has to finally tell Kell about Reece. She just wants to do so under different circumstances than a party she is attending with her family. Kell is the perfect caring alpha in that he won't let her slip through his fingers this time.I think because I am not a mother I cannot relate to any of the choices Charlotte made in regards to Kell and their baby. The fact that she never told him about the baby made it impossible for me to like her. I wanted to like Charlotte, Kell obviously likes her, and I wanted to feel the same. Kell is an easy hero to just love. His immediate unconditional love of Reece is so very sweet. He is a determined man. He wants Charlotte, he wants their baby in his life, and he will stop at nothing to see this to the end.Charlotte has not been back in Miami long when she witnesses a murder. The people involved in the murder put her in even more danger than just witnessing a crime could ever do. The romantic suspense element, especially the solution to the threat against Charlotte seemed convenient. The reasoning behind the solution to the threat working out is however plausible.Breaking Her Rules4 Star3 FlamesAs one of Red Stone Security's employees Iris takes her job very seriously. It is job she loves and also something that she excels at. Her military experience makes her perfect for the job. Her amazing looks allows her to go unnoticed as a guard on some jobs. Her assignment of Wyatt whom she knows far more about than any of her co-workers would ever suspect is about to take her role as guardian to a whole new level.There is a spoiler that I totally want to tell you about. It makes Wyatt and Iris so entertaining as a couple. It is something you find out about within the first few pages, but the surprise of it makes it a spoiler. That little bombshell alone is worth buying this book for. It is also that that makes the chemistry between Iris and Wyatt so intense. I also enjoyed the protector role balance between them. Wyatt is as alpha as most worthy romance heroes. This makes him want to protect his lady. Iris is full of bad-assery, she works in private security, Wyatt has hired the company she works for for protection. Oh yes, plenty of entertainment there. The action was a lot more intense with this installment of the series too.All around great read!The only thing I did not like about Breaking Her Rules was the flashbacks and reminiscing dreams. That is a personal thing with me, thus it most likely will not affect most people. I am just one of those people that like to stay in the here and now. The dreams and remembrances does have to do with a portion of Iris and Wyatt's happily ever after that the readers are not present for, so they are necessary for the tale.Each book in the Red Stone Security series can be read as a stand alone. The order in which you read them also does not matter. The setting is Miami and the characters work for Red Stone Security.the author provided these books to me for the purpose of an honest review
