I received a complimentary copy of this book, Thank you

I haven't read many of Kat Martin's books, and overall I enjoyed this. There was a great plot. The main character's half-sister has joined a cult like group, and her mother is worried. Skye, being a private investigator offers to help. She's joined by a member of her group. They discover that it is much bigger than just a cult. There are drugs and trafficking involved. There's a lot of suspense and action.
All this is great, but half the book is basically soft porn: "Edge,please...I need you," "His jaw clenched at the pleasure sweeping through him as he slid himself inside. He tried to give her time to adjust to his size, the depth of his invasion, but his control was rapidly slipping." Sigh, Really?! So much for a courageous, bada** heroine. ( )

One Last Chance by Kat Martin
Blood Ties: The Logan’s #3. Romantic suspense. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Former Green Beret Edge and former military Skye team up to infiltrate a cult that has more than just vegetables growing in the fields.

Intense with a fast pace and explosive situations. Didn’t like the forced circumstances and the men that took advantage but they are quickly dealt with as Edge and Skye break down the doors and then follow until they save and catch and get their hea. ( )

Blood Ties #3

Intense, intriguing, and interesting – really enjoyed reading this one!

What I liked:
* Edge Logan: ex Green Beret, works for Nighthawk security, dark & deadly, drawn to his coworker-Skye, a nice guy, liked the growth he showed by the end
* Skye Delaney: ex-military, wounded in battle, suffers from PTSD, strong, lethal, knows what she wants, cares about her family, drawn to Edge
* Callie: Skye’s half-sister, drawn in by a handsome man, needs help to get free of the cult, caring, good friend, grows a lot in the story
* The women in the cult, especially Lily and Molly…strong women and survivors
* The complexity of the story with mysteries, twists, and turns
* Being able to really REALLY dislike the bad guys
* The camaraderie of the people working at Nighthawk
* The Desert Eagles that showed up near the end of the book
* The potential for many more books related to the men working at Nighthawk Security
* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Knowing that the evil that happened in this book, though fiction, happens in real life

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for the ARC – This is my honest review.

This romantic suspense title is the third in the Logans series. We met youngest brother Edge in the previous book. Edge was forced to resign from the Army and is determined to clear his name, bring his crooked superior officer to justice, and resume his career as a Green Beret. While attempting to do this, he is working for Nighthawk Security in Denver.

Skye Delaney also works for Nighthawk Security. She's also former Army, but her career was ended when she encountered an IED which hurt her left leg and left her with disfiguring scars.

Edge and Skye are attracted to each other, but both have reasons not to pursue a relationship. Edge is on his way to somewhere else, and Skye is very sensitive about her scars which, she feels, already cost her a fiancé. But events are such that they are thrown together and can't fight their attraction.

When Skye's stepmother calls her and asks her to check on her younger stepsister Callie, she and Edge head to the Children of the Sun compound to look into things. This very cult-like compound concerns them both. When they are refused entry and can't communicate with Skye's sister, they send in a drone which shows some suspicious activity. With an uninterested sheriff, they decide to rescue Callie on their own.

They get Callie out but not her good friend Lila. A failed drug raid sends the villain's fleeing, taking Callie's friend Lila with them. A promise to Callie keeps Nighthawk Security and especially Edge and Skye searching for the cult leader and his followers.

The story was a fast-paced and exciting one. From a cult compound to the glitter of Las Vegas drug deals to intercepting an illegal arms shipment in Mexico, there is a lot of action. It also had a nice amount of spicy romance. The characters were well-developed and interesting people. I enjoyed it. ( )
