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.





This series gets better and better with each book, and considering how much I enjoyed book one that is no mean feat. In a previous book we saw Aiden/Shamrock go undercover but he didn't expect to find himself haunted by the beautiful redhead he saw, that was so obviously being held under duress, and it killed him to not be able to rescue her there and then. 

Violet was living in a hell she wouldn't wish on anyone. Kidnapped, tortured, demeaned and abused and she doesn't even know why she has been taken. When Aiden and his team eventually rescue her, she realises just how much she has been led along in her life. Now it's time for her to make her own decisions and decide what she wants to do with her life. First thing, move to Oak Creek, Wyoming, where her new friends and a certain group of heroes happen to call home. Second, start the business that she's passionate about. Lastly, get the guy... that guy being Aiden. Suffering with PTSD it won't be easy to accomplish her goals, especially when it seems the enemy isn't as "gone" as they had all hoped.

I really enjoyed this book, the action, the drama, the twists and turns and of course the relationship between Violet and Aiden. I can't wait for the next one and I give Shamrock 5 stars.

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.
