Then I see her. She’s offered up as a prize. She’s young, pretty, and far too innocent.She’s everything I’m not. I’ll fight for her, then I’ll set her free.

And I’ll keep my hands to myself…no matter how much I want to touch her.

I know Cole Black is quiet, intense, and dangerous, but something tells me I can trust the scarred fighter. But when he gets me free of the ring, that’s when my real troubles begin.

That businessman…he won’t let me go. Now, I’m being hunted and the only person who can keep me safe is Cole. But I soon learn Cole has his own secrets, his own burning need for revenge, and I might end up caught in the crossfire.

REVIEW: WORTH THE FIGHT is the third instalment in Anna Hackett’s contemporary, adult UNSANCTIONED dark, erotic, romantic suspense series. This is former Delta Force soldier, assassin and tactical training businessman Cole Black, and twenty-four year old, jewelry designer and bookkeeper Lili Armstrong. WORTH THE FIGHT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lili and Cole) WORTH THE FIGHT focuses on the protection of our story line heroine. Lili Armstrong often worked alongside her father Brock at the illegal underground fights in Las Vegas but Lili was about to become collateral damage, payment for a debt, the top prize in a winner takes all fight match. Cole Black, a former Delta Force soldier, wasn’t going to allow anyone to touch our story line heroine, and found himself in the ring fighting for her life. Declaring himself guardian and protector, Cole and Lili would dance around their attraction but Cole is determined to take down the man at the top, and he refuses to allow Lili to get caught in the cross fire.

The world building covers but a few days focusing on the protection of Lili, and the search for a number of missing girls. As Cole and the team at the Avernus Casino search for the missing and the people in charge, Lili continues to be the target of some very important people.

The relationship between Lili and Cole begins as a rescue but slowly turns into something more. Cole struggles to keep his distance believing the age gap is too large, and he is not worthy of love, while Lili is determined to prove he is worthy of everything and more. The $ex scenes are erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are determined and powerful, questionable and dangerous. We are introduced to businessman Chadwick Goodyear, fighter Anton Kamensky, Lili’s father Brock Armstrong, as well as the return of Nash Oakley and Georgie (Burn the World Down), casino owner and assassin Bastian Thorne and Lark (Burn the World Down), Landon, and Rafe. The requisite evil has many faces.

WORTH THE FIGHT is a story of power and control, obsession and abuse, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced, action packed premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are desperate, dynamic and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 13, 2026

She’s a driven city girl who’s not staying long.

He’s a laid-back mountain man who’s never leaving.

Sparks are flying, and its high heels versus flannel shirts.

Piper
As the COO for Langston Hotels, I travel the world, but for the moment, I’m stuck in Windward, Colorado.

The town is small, has snow (shudder), and did I mention small? Once I finish renovations to our latest acquisition, I’m gone.

One man has become the bane of my existence: head of hotel maintenance, Everett Murray.

Does the man wear his uniform? No. He wears awful flannel shirts and jeans. So maybe the denim fits his long body like a glove, and the flannel stretches over wide shoulders, but that’s beside the point.

I need the hotel to meet Langston standards, I need this job done so I can move on, and I won’t let Everett slow me down.

Everett
It took a tragedy for me to realize Windward was home. I love my job. No endless hours, no stress, no missing out on what’s important.

Then Piper Ellis struts into the hotel in her tight skirts and high heels. The woman is a high-maintenance headache I don’t need.

But when her troublemaker brother blows into town, I see another side of Piper. The softer side she keeps hidden. When his troubles make her a target, I’m there to keep her safe.

She might be a city girl, and I’m a mountain man to the bone, but neither of us can fight the force of our attraction.

Still, I know that one day she’ll pack her designer suitcase and leave, because everyone knows opposites might attract, but they don’t stay together.

•••••

Working together on a new project with Everett, Piper will come face to face with her rebellious and self-indulgent brother, a brother who has left a trail of debt in his wake, debt that is about to become Piper’s responsibility.

The world building focuses on the remodelling of the Langston Winward Hotel, and the building threats against our story line heroine. Piper has been targeted, and must come to terms with her brother’s spiral, a spiral that has now be redirected at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Everett and Piper is tempestuous at best at Piper struggles to accept the small town attitudes and disarming charisma of our story line hero. Everett is determined to become guardian and protector when the threats against Piper morph into personal and violent, but Piper refuses to back down when the intimidation and threats take aim at our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 15, 2023

She’s the genius hacker known as Hex.

He’s a ghost—the deep-cover spy known only as Shade.

They generate a dangerous level of white-hot sparks, but he needs her help on a deadly mission.

Jet “Hex” Adler loves being a goddess of all thing tech. She provides her team at Sentinel Security with intel and comms, and she’s good at it. No, brilliant. Sure, sometimes it’s hard to be stuck in the office while her guys are in the field, but computers, tech, and drones are her thing. If only she had the same luck with men.

And that does not include a certain hot, cocky, annoying spy.

Cain aka Shade is dedicated to his country. He does the hard, dangerous work so others don’t have to. He came from nothing, he’s alone, unattached. A man like him has nothing to lose. For Cain, life is always about the mission. It can never be about a certain small, smart, feisty hacker.

But now he needs Jet for an important assignment to stop high-tech drone schematics falling into enemy hands.

Of course, Jet will do anything to help save the world…okay, not the entire world, but a lot of innocent lives. Even if it means going undercover with the man who knows how to push every one of her buttons. But as they work together, dodging danger and bad guys, their scorching attraction explodes…and Cain will realize that for the first time in his life, someone is more important to him than his mission.

••••••

REVIEW: HEX is the sixth (and final?) instalment in Anna Hackett’s contemporary, adult SENTINEL SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series-a spin off from the author’s Norcross Security series. This is CIA operative Cain ‘Shade’ Cavanagh and thirty-one year old, hacker Jet ‘Hex’ Adler’s story line. HEX can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives HEX follows Jet and Cain as they are tagged to take down a suspected buyer for a next generation drone technology. Going under cover in Paris, France, with several members of the Sentinel Security team by their side, Jet and Cain ferret out the man responsible but not before Jet finds herself a target of an abduction, and threats against her life. Working together Cain struggles to keep his distance from the woman with whom he will fall in love, a woman who is determined to prove that Cain is worthy of his own happily ever after. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Cain and Jet, and the potential fall-out as the team finds themselves trapped when their assignment is discovered and plans are diverted.

The relationship between Jet and Cain is one of mutual attraction but Cain considers himself a lone-wolf, always working the next assignment, a man who has killed to protect the country he loves. Jet battles between head and heart knowing Cain believes himself unworthy but Jet is hoping that working together as a couple proves there is more to life than working as a spy. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples and heroes, and Vander Norcross (Norcross Security). We are introduced to Dante and Colton Fury, two of five powerful brothers with a questionable reputation. I am going to presume the author has plans for a series focusing on the Fury siblings.

HEX is a fast paced story of power and control, greed and vengeance, family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is edgy and dramatic; the characters are animated, sassy and dynamic; the romance is sensual and seductive.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 28,2023

He never should have touched her.

She’s beautiful, sweet, and all sunshine. He’s too old, too rough, and too grumpy.

Now she’s pregnant with his baby and in danger, and there is nothing he won’t do to keep her safe.

All Adaline Harris ever wanted to do was escape her small town and make it as a ballet dancer in New York. But luck is never on her side. Just when she’s found the big, gruff man of her dreams, he ghosts her…leaving her with a broken heart, pregnant, and unable to dance. Oh, and added to that, someone is sending her creepy notes.

But then Bram O’Donovan walks back into her life, takes one look at her, and sweeps her into his brawny arms.

Bram “Excalibur” O’Donovan knows he’s rough, curt, and isn’t good with people. The military suited him just fine, and now, so does working for Sentinel Security. He never expected to have a chance with sweet, gorgeous Addie. The week he spent in her bed was the best week of his life…until she disappeared without a trace.

Finding her working in a bar and pregnant with his baby is a shock.

But after discovering Addie thinks he abandoned her and that someone is hunting her, Bram is determined to uncover what’s going on. Someone is trying to keep them apart, and wants her for themselves. Bram will go all out, and use all his dangerous skill set, to keep Addie safe, and claim her as his, once and for all.

•••••

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 26, 2023

His skills and ruthlessness made him a legend.

The dark, dangerous former spy.

Now the operative turned billionaire known as Steel collides with fiery agent Hellfire when they discover they’re both on the kill list of a deadly assassin.

CIA agent Devyn “Hellfire” Hayden came from nothing and made herself into one of the CIA’s best deep-cover agents. She’s dedicated to her country. She’s always on the move. She’s a loner. Just the way she likes it. Letting people close is a weakness and she’ll never be weak again.

But when she finds herself under attack by an assassin targeting the world’s best intelligence agents, it sends her straight into the path of the only man who tempts her. The dark, lethal Killian “Steel” Hawke.

Killian Hawke rose through the ranks of the CIA, and knows his name is whispered in fear by his enemies. But when his sister needed him, he left and started Sentinel Security. He protects all those he considers his: his sister, his friends, his employees, and his clients.

But there is one stubborn redhead he also wants to claim.

Killian is tired of dancing around what he feels for her. Now that she’s in danger, he’ll do whatever it takes to make her safe, claim her heart, and possess her soul.

••••••

REVIEW:STEEL is the fourth instalment in Anna Hackett’s contemporary, adult SENTINEL SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Sentinel Security. This is Sentinel Security owner and operative Killian ‘Steel’ Hawke and CIA Agent Devyn ‘Hellfire’ Hayden’s story line.STEEL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. There is a slight cross-over with the author’s NORCROSS SECURITY series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 20, 2022

He’s a gorgeous former Interpol agent.

Tall, dark, and Italian.

He’s way out of her league, but when danger explodes around them, she finds herself on the run with the sexiest man she’s ever met.

CIA analyst Gabbi Hansley has a plan—escape her dysfunctional family, excel at her job, and build a safe, stable life for herself. Boring? Maybe, but she likes boring. When tasked to meet a security contractor and give him an encrypted drive, a quick, simple job goes terribly wrong.

Gabbi didn’t expect her contact to be the hottest man she’s ever seen. Nor was she expecting the bad guys who turn up and spray the restaurant with bullets.

After years of wading through the muck, dismantling mafia crime syndicates in Italy, former Anti-Mafia officer and Interpol agent Matteo “Hades” Mancini likes his job at Sentinel Security. He also knows he has nothing permanent to offer any woman, so he keeps things fun and temporary.

But when his dangerous past rears its head, he finds himself trapped with the tough, no-nonsense Gabbi, and on a second glance, he sees past her sensible exterior to the tempting woman beneath.

Now Gabbi and Matteo are in a race for survival. While they work to track down who’s after them, attraction burns hot and bright. Gabbi knows a man like Matteo won’t be interested in her for long, and she asks him to show her all the things she’s been missing in the bedroom. But the possessive need to keep her safe is growing in Matteo, and soon he has two mission objectives: take down the bad guys, and convince Gabbi Hansley that she’s his.

•••••••

Matteo Mancini had made many enemies in his life but none more so than when he worked for the DIA-Direzione Investigative Antimafia group, a group known for hunting the mafia syndicates. With a target on their backs, Gabbi and Matteo are forced to work together in an effort to uncover the people responsible for the attacks, working together is about to push our couple together. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Gabbi and Matteo, and the potential fall-out as Gabbi struggles with issues of low self-esteem, believing to be a minor convenience for our story line hero.

Betrayal from someone close forces Gabbi to choose sides in a war she knows nothing about. Matteo Mancini prefers to work alone but Gabbi refuses to stay behind when Matteo continues to place his life in danger.

The man she’s had a crush on her entire life and now the man pretending to be her lover to keep her safe.

CEO Lainie Madden has her hands full. In charge of a growing tech company, her work and her employees are her life. She’s sworn off love, because the sad reality is that she stinks at choosing men who aren’t self-absorbed cheaters. But when she starts receiving disturbing death threats and her company’s website gets hit with relentless cyber-attacks, she’s in over her head.

Former SEAL and CIA agent Nick “Wolf” Garrick is second in command at Sentinel Security. He’s spent most of his life fighting and protecting others, proving he’s nothing like the ex-con who fathered him. He’s also spent years ignoring his scorching attraction to his little sister’s best friend. Lainie is sweet, fresh, smart…and off limits.

But when he finds out she’s in danger, it flips a switch inside him. Whatever the risk, whatever it takes, even pretending that they’re lovers, he’ll protect Lainie and take down the person hunting her.

The more time Lainie and Nick spend together, the more the lines blur. As danger swirls around them, their pretend relationship starts to feel very real. But Nick doesn’t do relationships and Lainie doesn’t want to get hurt again…

••••••

REVIEW:WOLF is the first instalment in Anna Hackett contemporary, adult SENTINEL SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series-a spin off from the author’s Norcross Security series. This is former US Navy SEAL and CIA agent turned security specialist Nick ‘Wolf’ Garrick, and CEO Lainie Madden’s story line. WOLF can be read as a stand alone-you do not have to have read the previous series. Some of the characters cross over into the current time line.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Nick and Lainie) WOLF follows in the face of a series of death threats against our story line heroine. Lainie Madden is the CEO of the billion dollar design company Pintura, and a recent series of cyber breaches and threats to our story line heroine find Lainie Madden facing down her teenaged crush Nick Garrick. Nick is Lainie’s best friend Nola’s older brother but a man who has struggled since his last CIA assignment went all to h*ll. Working for Sentinel Security, Nick is the perfect guardian for our story line heroine but as Lainie is his sister’s best friend Nick believes our heroine is off limits, and struggles to keep their relationship professional but whomever is behind the threats is getting closer, and Nick refuses to leave Lainie’s safety in the hands of someone else. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Nick and Lainie, and the potential fall-out as a ghost from the past set their sights on our story line heroine.

The relationship between Nick and Lainie is a best friend’s brother affair in which Lainie is open to something more but Nick battles between head and heart, not wanting to cross an invisible line. Nick has been hired, and has proclaimed himself Lainie’s protector, a proclamation that allows his friendship with Lainie to grow into something more. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Nick’s fellow Sentinel Security specialists: Nick’s boss Killian ‘Steel’ Hawke; former MI6 agent Hadley ‘Striker’ Lockwood; hacker Jet ‘Hex’ Adler; Matteo ‘Hades’ Mancini, and Bram ‘Excalibur’ O’Donovan, as well as Interpol agent Gisele Aubert. The requisite evil is familiar to our story line heroine.

WOLF is a story of perceived betrayal and revenge; obsession and power; family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is intriguing and dramatic; the characters are animated, charismatic and dynamic-the camaraderie is fast, flirty, friendly and furious between the Sentinel Security employees; the romance is sizzling and provocative.
