Blurb

Rick "Ricochet" Brennan served eight years as an elite Marine special ops Force Recon soldier. After an injury, and the terrible memories from that night, he retires and goes to work for his former Command Officer, Howard "Mack" McEvoy, at his training center in Atlanta.

Sanctum MMA appears on the surface to be a normal gym, training elite fighters to be the best. Except each trainer, hand-picked by Mack, possesses a special background that allows Mack to run one of the best-kept secrets in the country.

When twenty-three year old Quinn Wallace finally escapes her abusive husband, she turns to her father’s old Marine Corps buddy, Mack, for help. Broken and skittish, Quinn finds herself surrounded by large, intimidating men— men who could easily overpower her. She avoids them the best she can, but when Rick turns out to be more than just a rough fighter with bruised knuckles, she finds herself wondering if she can allow herself to trust again.

Excerpt

“Hey,” he said calmly. “Why aren’t you resting?” Rick put his hands on her shoulders, gently massaging her arms.

Quinn’s eyes grew large and went to his gloved hands.

Fuck, she hates fighting. Now I know why she looks freaked out.

Rick yanked his hands away and took a step back. “I didn’t mean for you to see me fight, Quinn. I’m sorry.”

To his surprise, Quinn stepped forward, closing the distance Rick had put between them. He watched as she hesitantly lifted her arms, placing her hands on his sweat-slicked chest. Her eyes met his and his breath left in a sharp huff. The fear he had expected to see wasn’t there. No… Quinn’s eyes were dark and glistening with lust.

“I didn’t know that watching you fight would be so comforting. It makes me feel safe, and… turned on,” she murmured. Rick shivered as her hands ran down his torso, moving over each defined muscle until they were resting on either side of his waist.

“Turned on?” Rick swallowed, barely able to speak with Quinn touching him like that. She was only just about healed from the attack. He figured it would be months, if not longer before she’d be interested in pursuing anything physical.

“Yes, turned on.” Quinn’s fingers dug into Rick’s waist, her thumbs making small circles on the ‘v’ shaped ridges of his lower abs. Scorching waves of pleasure rippled down his spine, instantly making his cock come to life.

“Jesus,” he muttered softly. Using every last bit of willpower he had, Rick captured Quinn’s wrists, removing her hands from his body. “Not here, doll.” He glanced around, but none of the other fighters were looking their way. Still, he’d kill them if they saw the lust in Quinn’s eyes. That was for him, and him alone.

Quinn pouted, crossing her arms and glaring like a kid denied her favorite candy.

He couldn’t help himself. The sight of this tiny thing trying to look intimidating was funny. Rick laughed. “You’re too much, doll.” The corner of her mouth twitched up—it was just a hint of a smile, but it made Rick’s day. Quinn hadn’t smiled once since his team rescued her. Seeing some of her personality coming back flooded him with emotion.

The Ricochet series is broken up into three parts. Each part brings us a little more information and backstory for both the main characters, Quinn and Rick. As each book unfolds, the entire story comes together showing the bonds Rick and Quinn have formed.

In Locked & Loaded, We see glimpses into the suffering both Quinn and Rick have had with their pasts and how they are trying to cope with that in their present. We see their first meeting, along with first impressions and watch as they both come to terms with the pull they feel towards each other. This book sort of kicks off their relationship, though both are still hiding a lot from each other.

In Friendly Fire we pick up where Locked&Loaded left off, Quinn is trying to pick up her life and get things sorted and Rick is confused as to what is going on. They are moving closer together, but both still hiding a great deal of pain and past traumas too. Towards the end I felt Rick was finally coming to terms with things and knew what direction he needed to take both Quinn and himself only to face another problem.

In Extraction Point, everything in Quinn's past life has come to a head and Rick is left to figure it out and come to her rescue. This part was full of suspense, and anger and pain and defintely kept my blood pumping as I waited for Quinn to find a resolution to her past and for Rick and Quinn to finally come together as a full real couple.

Quinn has been through a lot in her life. From family issues, to an abusive relationship, to running away and finding herself. She's finally ready to face her past head on but she wants resolution before she begins anything serious with Rick.

Rick has had a jaded outlook on women since he was younger, his family hasn't helped thesituation and finally when he meets Quinn, he starts to think that maybe jsut maybe its time for his feeligns to change. But she's so confusing and he's not certain how to handle her or the situation he finds himself in: Falling Hard.

Watching as Quinn gets her bearings, and Rick slowly comes to terms with things from his past, their love story unfolds and shows us their is beauty in the chaos.
