The courageous men of USA Today
bestselling author Tina Wainscott’s Justiss Alliance series never give up and
never make a promise they can’t live up to—especially when love is on the line.
The
only commitment Saxby Cole has ever made is to the SEALs. He follows a long
line of Southern charmers who swear monogamy isn’t in their blood. He’s never
met a woman who made him want to swear his allegiance—until, while undercover
for a Justiss Alliance assignment, he finds a woman who makes him think twice.
When
Jennessy Shaw’s boyfriend dumps her right before their vacation to a hedonistic
Caribbean resort, she goes without him to explore her wild side. Throwing
caution to the wind, she propositions Saxby—only to suffer his gentle
rejection.
When
she wakes in Saxby’s room with no memory of the night before, Jennessy
discovers his real purpose: to sniff out an operation where women like her are
drugged and prostituted to resort guests. She goes from victim to his
investigative partner . . . but getting too close to the sexier-than-sin Saxby
may be her wildest move yet.

Review- 4.5 Stars!
This is the 3th book in
the Justice Alliance series, but it can be read as a standalone. I have not
read the first two, but after reading Wild Nights, I went right out and bought
them!
I really enjoyed this
novel. It was fast paced and full of action (in and out of the bedroom…). The
story line is somewhat intense. Saxby is sent to a “wild” resort to investigate
rumors of date rape. The subject is a touchy one, but the author handles is
pretty well.
Despite the overwhelming
topic, the author keeps the focus stays on the growing relationship between the
hero and heroine. The action and storyline move the relationship along, adding
to it, rather than distracting us from it.
Jennessy (can I just say
how much I love that name?) is definitely a strong female lead. She has just
left a long-term relationship after finding the guy she thought she would
marry, cheating. She has decided to explore her “wild side” and is pushing past
her comfort zone to explore what she’s been missing. When Jennessy almost falls
victim to the dark schemes at the resort, she and Sax team up to discover who
is behind it all.
Unfortunately, Sax in
convinced that his DNA will keep him from ever being faithful to a woman. As he
falls fast and hard for Jennessy, he fights even harder to convince her, and himself,
that they would never work.
The heat between Sax and
Jennessy is off the charts. They steam up the room from the pages of a book.
Sax is the kind of guy every girl swoons over, strong, honest, and protective,
a gentleman, and an alpha all rolled into one, sexy, steamy package.
I didn’t feel like the
ending was predictable, but neither was I particularity shocked. The story was well written and was very consistent.
From time to time, the military jargon got a little cliché. However, it wasn’t
much, just here and there.
Overall this was a great
read. I loved the characters, the plot, and the love story. This book got me
interested and excited for the other books in the series. That tells you just
how great it was!
Excerpt
“It might do you some good to let loose
and get your wild on, too.” She leaned forward and touched her mouth to his, then
moved back a hair. “Yes, you are definitely too uptight.” This time she kissed
him fully, her arms going around his shoulders and her body leaning into his.
His arms automatically circled her waist
and pulled her closer. She tasted of rum and fruit and sun-filled days. His
hands splayed across her lower back, itching to squeeze her ass. When her
stomach surrounded his now rigid cock, he was glad she wasn’t an athletic woman
with hard abs. No, she was perfect, toned but curvy. She let out a sigh as his
tongue swept across hers, exploring all of her. Her fingers slid up into his
hair, brushing the back of his ear.
Oh, he wanted her. Wanted to show her just
how worthy she was of loyalty, of adoration, of—screech! The sound of his
thoughts coming to an abrupt halt again. He finished the kiss and forced
himself to step back. Dayum, his glasses were actually steamed up.
Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.
“I’m sorry, I thought—”
“No, I’m sorry.” He rubbed his hand across
his mouth. “Believe me, I’m very sorry. I can’t . . .” let myself fall in lust
with your luscious self because . . . what was the reason again? Oh, yeah, he
was on assignment. And he had a line in the unlikely event that someone
actually approached him. “I have a girlfriend.”
She blinked. “Oh. You didn’t mention her.”
“Callie was supposed to come with me, but
she was called away on a last-minute business trip. She told me to go alone,
said it would be a test of my loyalty. And you are that, for sure, but I have
to back off. I hope you’ll understand.”
“Yes, of course.” Jennessy wrapped her
arms around herself and turned toward the murals. “I, of all people, wouldn’t
want to be the other woman.”
Sax couldn’t help but touch her arm. “I am
sorry—”
“It’s okay.” She searched the road where
the bus would return. “I’m glad you didn’t . . .” She merely gestured between
them.
Sax nodded, feeling lower than low. She
was embarrassed and no doubt felt rejected. He’d wanted to boost her esteem,
not tear it down.
“I see a vehicle coming,” she said,
shading her eyes. Relief saturated her voice.
This is for the better, he told himself.
Now she would avoid him. Which would make it much easier to do his job.
So why didn’t he feel any better?
