Trident Security operative, Jake Donovan, has been a member of the BDSM lifestyle since his teenage years. Starting as a submissive, he eventually became a Dom, but a brutal incident, years ago, changed Jake's life forever. Unable to shake the ghosts of his past, Jake avoided giving his heart to anyone for sixteen years. Until Nick.
Navy SEAL, Nick Sawyer, knew it was probably a bad idea to get involved with his brothers' friend and employee, but there was something about Jake that drew him in. While his brothers also owned a private BDSM club, The Covenant, Nick never understood what attracted people to the lifestyle. He had nothing against it, but it just wasn't for him. Until Jake.
An old missing person's case has Jake running to rescue a teenage girl and Nick volunteers to watch his back. But when things go awry, Jake must confront his past, before he can ever think about a future...one that, hopefully, includes Nick.

5 stars of six pack “toppings”
So … ladies we are back in Tampa and we finally are getting the good on Nick Sawyer, the youngest of the Sawyer clan. Now Samantha is a tease … from the word go she puts us in a hotel room with Nick. And then … yeah, no you aren’t getting that from me. But, we do know this is Nicky-boy and The Reverend’s story. If you don’t know who that is then you need to go back and learn your Trident Security men.
Before we move on though, we need to address the two very serious subjects that are deep seeded throughout the pages of this phenomenal book. Two absolutely miraculous characters come full force at you throwing everything they have into burying scars at the hands of bigotry and sexual abuse. Both are crimes I cannot tolerate which made this read a long awaited one with gleeful squeals but also emotional torment pouring from the heart. I had no idea of the scars this character was hiding.
As we continue to flip the pages we find out that Nick is headed to Tampa on a four week leave instead of heading home to Norfolk VA to see his parents. The twenty five year old just hoped that things would go smoothly during his visit; especially with the thirty four year old SEAL his head wouldn’t let him forget. Finding Jake Donovan standing at the baggage terminal, Jake’s name should be Master Dick rather than Master Jake. WTF! Knife Hands to Jake’s throat ladies. And so it begins.
Jake knows he is a complete ass to Nick but it’s what has to be done. There is too much at stake if things don’t pan out and Jake’s life will never be an open book either so what’s done is done.
As in all of our Trident men’s stories there is a love story that is exceptional. Topping the Alpha is filled with suffering, brutal memories and survival. On the flip side we have the suspense, crime lords, stealth moving Trident men … and wait for it … T. Carter. YES! He’s bacccckkkkk! I will tell you my excitement was evident at the mention of Beau as well. I'm a sucker for a four legged boy.
The men are thrown into Jake’s past in one phone call -- a mother and daughter that Jake shouldn’t be hearing from ever again. Alyssa Wagner is in trouble. Jake hasn’t heard from the sweet girl since he helped her and her mother about a year ago. Alyssa sounds scared out of her mind and Jake needs to get there as quick as he can in order to keep her safe from the monster he saved them from once before.
We are introduced to some new men (yay) and a new woman (boo); Jordyan .. ok so yes she is a badass and we all know I love me some badass women but I will shank a bitch. She needs to stay away from my U.S. Black Operative. I'm just sayin … Then there are two new operatives; Tristan McCabe who is former Secret Service and Cain Foster, former Delta Force. We meet the two men during their training running the Navy SEAL’s O-Course with Nick. This is a great scene .. I hope we hear more about this down the road as Nick deserves his bragging rights gunning down his brother Devil Dog’s record. Fist bump Nicky; hell yeah! The banter between the boys is back in full force of course with their ladies in tow. This family along with their parents is one we all want to belong to. The men are dropping like flies so if you want to snatch one up you better get in there but you need to keep the skanky mitts off Carter. He’s claimed by yours truly.
As the story plays out you will learn things you wish you didn’t know about the past but they also will make you love these men and the Trident family more than you did before. There is also a huge surprise in the Epilogue and its really good because it can only mean more reading in our future.
Samantha has left us another “boom bang” with a short preview from Marco “Polo” DeAngelis’s story; Watching From The Shadows. Sorry ladies .. we have to wait until 2016 for this one. I will wait .. and not like it but I will wait. It’s the Trident Men .. what else are you going to do?
Thank you Samantha for the ARC and for the once again full monty of sexy six packers. Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.
