Rick "Ricochet" Brennan served eight years as an
elite Marine special ops Force Recon soldier. After an injury, and the terrible
memories from that night, he retires and goes to work for his former Command
Officer, Howard "Mack" McEvoy, at his training center in Atlanta.
Sanctum MMA appears on the surface to be a normal gym,
training elite fighters to be the best. Except each trainer, hand-picked by
Mack, possesses a special background that allows Mack to run one of the
best-kept secrets in the country.
When twenty-three year old Quinn Wallace finally escapes her
abusive husband, she turns to her father’s old Marine Corps buddy, Mack, for
help. Broken and skittish, Quinn finds herself surrounded by large,
intimidating men— men who could easily overpower her. She avoids them the best
she can, but when Rick turns out to be more than just a rough fighter with
bruised knuckles, she finds herself wondering if she can allow herself to trust
again.
Review- 4
Stars
Extraction Point was a very good
ending for this series. There was a lot of action, some mystery, and moving
forward with the romance between Rick and Quinn. There is quite a bit of
violence in this installment, similar to book 1. However, it’s a great read,
quick and interesting, it kept my attention.
As is the case with the first two
books, the secondary cast of characters round out the story really well. They
provide some levity at times, they are so unique and each plays a role in the
movement of the plot. I would be very interested to read the stories of some of
the other guys.
Rick and Quinn have moved beyond
some of the hurdles in their relationship but they haven’t quite smoothed it
all out. I did appreciate that Quinn was smart enough (most of the time) to
recognize when she needed protection and not just shrug it off. She also got
over her I don’t want to drag them in my mess and get them hurt, attitude. She
had some spunk in this book, and I enjoyed that shse was able to find a place
for herself.
Rick is ever the sweet loving teddy
bear, who could rip someone’s head off and kill without thought in the right
situation. His temper gets the best of him a time or two, but really, he has
that problem in all of the book. He melts my heart with the way that he loves
Quinn. He treats her like she hung the moon. And of course, the burning
attraction they have for each other add a little steam to the story.
I would have liked to see a little
bit more about Quinn and Rick in the epilogue, I was a little disappointed on
that front. However, overall I really enjoyed the series and this book buttoned
it up nicely.
Excerpt
“Hey,” he said calmly. “Why aren’t
you resting?” Rick put his hands on her shoulders, gently massaging her arms.
Quinn’s eyes grew large and went to
his gloved hands.
Fuck, she
hates fighting. Now I know why she looks freaked out.
Rick yanked his hands away and took
a step back. “I didn’t mean for you to see me fight, Quinn. I’m sorry.”
To his surprise, Quinn stepped
forward, closing the distance Rick had put between them. He watched as she
hesitantly lifted her arms, placing her hands on his sweat-slicked chest. Her
eyes met his and his breath left in a sharp huff. The fear he had expected to
see wasn’t there. No… Quinn’s eyes were dark and glistening with lust.
“I didn’t know that watching you
fight would be so comforting. It makes me feel safe, and… turned on,” she
murmured. Rick shivered as her hands ran down his torso, moving over each
defined muscle until they were resting on either side of his waist.
“Turned on?” Rick swallowed, barely
able to speak with Quinn touching him like that. She was only just about healed
from the attack. He figured it would be months, if not longer before she’d be
interested in pursuing anything physical.
“Yes, turned on.” Quinn’s fingers
dug into Rick’s waist, her thumbs making small circles on the ‘v’ shaped ridges
of his lower abs. Scorching waves of pleasure rippled down his spine, instantly
making his cock come to life.
“Jesus,” he muttered softly. Using
every last bit of willpower he had, Rick captured Quinn’s wrists, removing her
hands from his body. “Not here, doll.” He glanced around, but none of the other
fighters were looking their way. Still, he’d kill them if they saw the lust in
Quinn’s eyes. That was for him, and him alone.
Quinn pouted, crossing her arms and
glaring like a kid denied her favorite candy.
He couldn’t help himself. The sight
of this tiny thing trying to look intimidating was funny. Rick laughed. “You’re
too much, doll.” The corner of her mouth twitched up—it was just a hint of a
smile, but it made Rick’s day. Quinn hadn’t smiled once since his team rescued
her. Seeing some of her personality coming back flooded him with emotion.
