Remi

The Four X's Group: La Spezia, Book 2

De: Annabella Stone, Bella Stone

Narrado por: Mollie Stark, William Macleod

War doesn't forge heroes, it reveals them!

Former Navy SEAL and communication specialist for The Four X’s Group—a paramilitary organization he runs with his brothers, Remi *Zipper* McKinley has slammed the lid shut on the box he stuffed his heart into. He chained that puppy up, slapped on a padlock, and tossed the key away with prejudice. Never again will he allow flowery words and empty promises to dictate his future. Love, feelings, and happy ever after are not for him. The only thing a wife brings is pain, betrayal, and a bank balance with a big fat zero. Been there, done that, and he’s got the damn t-shirt.

For Serena Wayland, the chance of vacationing on safari within her budget was too good to pass up. Her first clue something was wrong was when the destination changed, her second when her friend and traveling companion disappeared, and her third when she was abandoned by her guides in Uganda. Unless those gorillas watching her every move have a phone and will let her use it—she’s up a certain creek and paddles didn’t come as part of her package deal.

A favor for a friend sends Remi on the trail of a missing woman, the one he finds is not on his list. But his honor won’t allow him to leave Serena to fend for herself. He’s everything she ever desired. She’s everything he never knew his soul needed. But can Serena convince Remi she’ll protect his heart as fiercely as he protects his country?

A woman in need, a man in pain and the only thing which can truly save them—the courage to face the greatest risk of all: love.

Remi

Book 2 of The Four X's Group story of Serena Wayland and former Navy Seal Remi *Zipper* McKinley. OMG this one ends with a hoot, I mean you have to read this one if nothing else. Big bad he man scared of a little baby. I love when the males are all I don’t do love and then the female characters comes with sass and grit and takes down all his walls and finds the one man that is everything you need or want. Totally need the next book to see what mess the next brother finds himself in.

I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Exciting!

This book had me sucked in from the very start. I felt like it was much better than the first book in this series. The narration was excellent as well. I really enjoyed how the sexual tension grew to a fever pitch and led to some steamy bedroom scenes! I was so happy for Remy finding love after what he’d been through with his ex wife. I highly recommend this book if you like military lingo, sexy alpha men and exciting plot lines!

Remi

Remi might just be my favorite McKinley brother. Not only does he have an ex-wife that shattered his heart by cheating then trying to say her child was his, but he also suffered a TBI that changed his world and yet he is still moving forward and creating a new life for him. Serena thinks she’s going on an adventure with a friend but then that adventure turns into a nightmare. At Remi and Serena’s first meeting, the sparks start flying and don’t stop. Serena has the sassiness that Remi needs and understands him in a way that makes the walls around his heart simply crumble. The narrators nail all the voices and emotions that come through. I do have to admit that I don’t think I like his parents, specifically his father. But that just adds to the story as you don’t always like all the people involved.
