*~*~*
He doesn’t want to take the job, but he has no choice. He owes a debt to the Moretti mob, and last he checked, they don’t take no for an answer.
He takes a moment to soak in the information. A pregnant mafia princess, wanted for murder, and he's supposed to track her down.
The professed father is a childhood friend, yet he’s considered a potential enemy of the family. This could get very interesting.
What starts out as a simple task, one that could easily take him one day to execute, has turned into so much more than he bargained for.
They’re each fighting their own personal demons, and it’s more than just a chase at hand. They both have secrets, hearts are on the line, and he resolves himself to go above and beyond the call of duty for reasons he can’t understand.
The last thing he ever intends on finding is an angel.
Join Quinn and Alexis as their unique story unfolds in two full-length novels released three weeks apart. You will fall in love with Kimber, a lovable retired military working dog who becomes an integral part of the storyline.
There is adventure, passion, and suspense in this contemporary erotic romance. Along with J.C. Cliff’s trademark steamy, hot sex scenes that will keep you turning the pages from beginning to end.
*CLIFFHANGER WARNING*
You know you have a love/hate relationship with a good cliffhanger in a book, but if you’ve read my previous books, you are no stranger to this simple fact.
I - LOVE - CLIFFHANGERS. I have to live up to my name, after all.
Warning: **Mature Audiences Only** This book is intended for adults of mature age only (18+). This book contains themes that could be considered offensive.
A riveting, all-consuming suspense filled page turner of a read and holy hell that cliffhanger!! Yes I said the dreaded word “cliffhanger” but on a good note part two releases on March 16th so not too long to wait…
The first book in the Undaunted series follows Quinn. Quinn is one fourth of Atrox Security; a tight-knit brotherhood of former military, undertaking all kinds of work from private investigations to highly classified governmental operations. These men fear nothing; they are unwavering, unafraid and unrelenting. They are the Undaunted Men.
Quinn owes the mob. To clear his debt he needs to find Moretti's daughter and make sure she's ok. He doesn’t want the mission but knows he can’t take on the mob, so what choice does he have? After all it shouldn’t be too hard to find a mafia princess, one that’s pregnant should it? Sounds simple, right? Not when she's hiding somewhere along the Appalachian Trail.
What starts out as a simple task, one that could easily take him one day to execute, has turned into so much more than he bargained for.
Alexis Moretti a mafia princess, wanted for murder, pregnant and on the run, alone and afraid clinging to the hope that eventually she will be able to return home to her beloved horse and live her life free of mafia ties, free of Vince just to keep her sane...what she wasn’t bargaining for was being found in a moment of sadness thinking of what she’s left behind and what she now faces by a solitary hiker and his trusted fury companion Kimber. She believes Quinn has been sent straight down from the gods, as with his heavenly looks and body to die for he’s got to be her guardian angel.
With Quinn and Kimber by her side nothing can wrong, can it?
This is the first book by this author that I have read *hangs head in shame*, I was instantly gripped and literally couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. The plot was well executed, had depth and left me wanting more…and some of those sexy time scenes one word…hot! I loved that it was told through dual narrative of the main characters. Reading the first few pages of the book I felt that I wasn’t really going to like Quinn as he was in the one night stand love em and leave em gang but as the story progresses you learn why he is this way and he has a perfectly good reason for this, and actually a few more pages in you can’t help but like his cocky, alpha male ways. Lexi I found to be likeable from the start, you couldn’t help connecting to her feelings and thoughts. As the story develops they both without knowing so help the other on a journey of self-awareness and self-discovery which again you can’t help but relate to. I loved the suspense and intrigue running throughout and as I said at the start of my review that cliffhanger!! I was so absorbed that I didn’t realise I was at the end of the book and a rather loud audible NO left my lips much to the annoyance of my pooch who was having a snooze at the side of me shot up wondering what was going on lol
I would highly recommend, I am literally gonna count down the days until the 16th arrives!!

Quinn is a very likeable character. Loves the ladies hard and I mean very,very hard. He is one tough, former military man. When he is forced to take a search and retrieve job from a mafia boss, he is very surprised by Lexi, beautiful inside and out and most definitely not the mafia princess he thought she would be. Lexi is running from a web of lies and deceit. Quinn and his ex military dog, Kimber, track Lexi. Quinn and Lexi find a magnetic attraction and over the time they spend hiking in the hills, fall into crazy hot lust. There is intrigue,plot twists and danger galore..Steamy,sexy love scenes will light your desire too. There is also much humour contained within the pages of this book. Full of action and adventure too. Trust does not come easily to Lexi after recent events in her own life. When she realises Quinn is still hiding some things from her, Lexi doesn't know who is helping or is planning on hurting her. I thoroughly enjoyed this book until I got to the ending. I don't like cliffhanger and this book ends on a big one. I would have given 5 stars if the story was complete. This story flows well and the plot holds your interest well. I was given an ARC in return for an honest review on behalf of WTMO Reviews.

“I fell in love with Quinn in the Blyss Trilogy and I've been dying to get my grabby hands on Quinn since then, but this book far exceeded my expectations!!!” -5 Star Review #Minxes Love Books
“So sweet and funny and just an all round perfect book boyfriend.”- 5 Star Review Kolleen Book Obessions
“Like all of her reads, this will keep you on your toes from cover to cover.”- 5 Star Goodreads Reviewer
“It’s actually pretty good. Tastes like chicken.” She shrugs her shoulders as if eating rattlesnake is an everyday occurrence. I look at her with pride, then turn to make myself a plate. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a flash of movement, and then out of nowhere, Kimber leaps up and scurries off. I turn around and watch with curiosity as she runs to a spot about five feet behind Lexi, sniffing the ground. My mouth gapes open. I can’t believe what I think I just saw happen before my eyes. “Am I seeing things?” I question in a high-pitched voice, waving my spatula around. “I know you did not just spit that bite of meat out in your hand, and then chuck it over your shoulder.” I point my spatula at her accusingly with a raised brow. “I know you did not just do that.” She has guilt written all over her face, her lips forming a thin line, and then she gets all squirmy. When she doesn’t answer me, I call her out. “You really enjoyed that, did you?” I grab another piece of meat and then lean toward her. I slowly trace the fire-roasted meat over her lips, encouraging her, “Second one tastes even better.” Her lips are tightly pressed closed as she shrinks away from me. “What's wrong, my little Yankee angel? Don’t go bashful on me now; there’s plenty to go around.” “Quiiinn,” she drawls out my name on a whine. “Yeesss?” I mimic her, the deep baritone of my voice questioning her. “All right, all right, I’m sorry,” she confesses, exasperation lining her voice. “I was just trying to impress you, and in my defense, I chewed it as long as possible. It tasted like chicken chewing gum,” she declares, making a face as she crinkles her nose. Internally, I’m bursting with laughter as she makes excuses. “And the more I chewed, the more I thought about what I was chewing, and it just wouldn’t break down in my mouth.” My shoulders start to shake, and I can’t school my features any longer. She swats at my chest, and I grab her wrist, pulling her into me as I break out with deep laughter. “Now, was the truth so hard to tell?” “Don’t I at least get credit for trying it?” She then pouts, displaying her doe eyes of innocence. “It’s only when you swallow that you get credit for being a real woman,” I tease.
I let go of her cheek and watch my index finger slowly trail a path down the length of her lithe neck. I pause when I feel her pulse; it's beating wildly through her veins. When her breath hitches, my eyes flick back to hers, and then I grow bold, my voice turning raspy, “I want to kiss you all over, and taste you from your lips to your silky sex.” I’ve lost all resolve as I lean forward and whisper over her mouth, “Would you like that, Angel?” I seal my mouth over hers, and she opens up to me, allowing me to slip my tongue inside her warmth. I groan when she runs her tongue over mine in a firm stroke of seduction. Slowly, my fingers graze down toward her breast, her overheated skin burning my fingertips. She arches her back, pushing that luscious tit into my hand. I squeeze around her fullness wishing she was naked for me. “I’ve been dying to kiss you like this all day,” I huskily whisper between passionate kisses.
