Series Review ~ Ricochet ~ Heather C. Leigh

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-four 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.

Ricochet is a full-length novel to be released as three parts.

***This book contains hot sweaty men, sexy scenes for those over 18, and uncomfortable, sometimes violent scenes.***

So, I was rather excited when I heard about Ricochet. It sounded like the perfect quick read that I needed to get me out of the slump I'm in. And oh boy... it did so and so much more.

I didn't realize that it was being released in 3 parts. But was tickled pink when I got all three of them at once. YaY for no waiting.

Mack is the epitome of alpha male. Recon Soldier turned MMA trainer. Mack reeks of sweaty, manly sexiness. He's also completely disconnected from emotional attachments. Having the job he has, he's been forced to remain separate. Then one day on his way to work he runs into this sweet, skittish beauty who has a fire in her eyes.

Quinn is afraid of her own shadow. And for good reason. After all she has endured and survived, being surrounded by these hulking men is the last thing she wants. But it's what she needs in order to stay alive and stay safe. The road that Quinn travels is one that is harrowing & torturous. Mack... He brings her peace and safety. She can't explain it, decides not to -- but Mack will protect her, of that she has no doubt.
