I'm talking POV shifts from paragraph to paragraph (without any formatting "warnings" like a simple extra line space) that made it confusing as to who was talking or thinking at the time. I'm talking about errors that were unbelievable and that made the story so disjointed that at points it was unreadable. I'm talking about complete inconsistencies in the story. I'm not even talking about the dreaded mixing up of MC's names (though it happened once in this book). I'm not talking about spelling or grammar errors. the EDITING, or lack thereof, RUINED this book for me. I was excited from the get go and rubbed my hands together thinking this was gonna be a goodie! BUT.*tire screeching*. Now, the main characters of the book, Marcus and Cole.I was really getting into their story. I went back to read the blurbs of her backlist to uncover that yes, these guys were introduced in a different series. I didn't, and thus, though I liked them enough, there was too much of these people-I-should-know-but-don't in this book.
But, it seems you might enjoy this more if you knew who Law, Styx, and Paolo are.
Calling this book 1 of the Phoenix, Inc series is fine. Now, I haven't read the Men of Honor series, but, as I started this book, I realized, yet again, that she was writing a spin off and kinda just jumped into the middle of a story (this happened to me as I read Dirty Deeds, a spin off of her Hell or High Water series, which I hadn't read.and thus was thoroughly confused). Think the smarts of McGyver crossed with toughness of The Rock crossed with rugged sensitivity of Hugh Jackman crossed with the hottest looking guy you can think of. There's pretty much nothing they can't do.
Gruff, scarred, imperfect heroes who've done their time and now make money off their ually ex special forces (yum). SE Jakes writes these guys exactly as I like 'em. I love these alpha male 's my version of fairy tale princes. Throw in the sillier versions by Kristen Ashley and I couldn't be more predictable. When I read a lot of het romance books, I loved suspense series with mercenaries or PI's.especially those written by Pamela Clare and Cindy Gerard.
