Description

Having a crush on one of your brother’s friends is so cliché. But Reese Woodall isn’t too worried…it’s not as if she’d ever have a chance with the former Delta Force Operative. For one thing, he lives in New Mexico, and she’s in Missouri. For another, since Woody and his team chaptered out of the Army several years ago, she hasn’t seen Gus even once. She’s free to lust after him from afar…but with her brother currently missing, Reese has far more important things to worry about.

Gus “Spike” Fowler doesn’t think twice before heading to South America when he learns his old Army buddy has disappeared—and his younger sister has gone to Colombia to find him. Though he hasn’t thought much about Reese in the last five years, he certainly remembers her. The curvy, sexy, stubborn engineer is hard to forget. He liked what he saw years ago. And now? After she surprises him in the best way during a high-stakes bid to rescue Woody from a drug cartel? He likes her even more.

Safely back at The Refuge, the sparks Reese and Spike experienced in Colombia quickly ignite, and they both find everything they’ve ever wanted in a partner. But they might lose it just as quickly…when the trouble they escaped in South America crosses the border.

**Deserving Reese is the 3rd book in The Refuge Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

    Spike has had an interest in his former teammate’s sister, Reese, almost since he first met her, but has never acted upon it. He worried about how his friend would react, and felt like he hadn’t much to offer such an accomplished and beautiful woman like her. But when his friend, Woody, goes missing in Bogota, and the Reese hightails it there to find him, he has no choice to go after them both. Reese has had the biggest crush ever on Gus/Spike, but figured that he only ever saw a friend’s kid sister. How wrong she was! When she finds herself way over her head, she’s truly grateful for Gus and his fellow Refuge founder. Even more surprising is just how strong her crush remains and how Gus seems to feel the same about her. Abductions, drug cartels, amazing chemistry, and all of the familiar faces of The Refuge make for a compelling and exciting read!
  • Excellent book.
