Blurb
When a marriage of convenience turns into the passion of a
lifetime…
Holden “Havoc” Thompson
My job as the leader of the Moonshine Task Force is my life. I eat, breathe,
and sleep it. The men under my command mean the world to me. Knowing they count
on my guidance has kept my demons at bay for longer than I care to admit.Holden “Havoc” Thompson
The control I have over myself is an iron fist that sometimes threatens to
squeeze the life out of me. What I want more than anything is to live again –
let go of the hurt smothering every bit of light I have in this darkness.
I don’t expect it to come in the form of a Moonshiner’s daughter needing my protection.

Leighton Strather
My whole life has been defined by who my family is. In the state of Alabama,
we’re number one with a target on our backs. The danger and prestige isn’t for
me. I don’t care about the money, and I care too much about the families we’ve
ruined.
My brother and my dad are proud of it. They wear their arrest records like a
badge of honor. Me? I want as far away from the lifestyle as I can get.
It’s the only reason I ask Holden to marry me. At least that's what I tell myself.
I never expect his whispered yes to cause such upheaval in my life. Even though I resist, I learn some havoc is good – and this one? It’s a whirlwind of lust, hope, and love and all I can do is let it sweep me away.

My Review
Havoc,
the third in the Moonshine Task Force series & first read for me. Although these
can be read as standalones, it's clear that if I'd read the others first, I
would have been able to appreciate the cross over characters & the
backgrounds of Holden & Leighton more. That being said, I still
enjoyed this fast paced, super sexy contemporary romance.
Told
in first person, from dual points of view this is a story of long burning
desire with the chance to turn into love. “I’ve come to care for her, come to be her friend, and I know there’s
nothing I won’t do for her.” Uncertain of what their future holds, Leighton’s
life “…has just changed in a big way. An
over six-foot, two-hundred pound, heavily tattooed kinda way.” Full of testosterone, funny & super
hot sexy, “…if you have to run, know at
some point I’ll chase you. Kisses like
this don’t happen every day.” I was pleasantly surprised by the twisty mystery reveal at
the end.
